Deliverance prayers

If you believe you may need deliverance, remember that your first response should always be to call on Jesus Christ. He alone is our Savior, Deliverer, and Healer. The New Testament teaches that Jesus gave authority to His disciples, and to those who believe in Him and are filled with the Holy Spirit, to cast out demons in His name (Mark 16:17). However, our confidence is never in a person or a method—it is in Jesus Christ alone.

Pray to Him, seek His presence, and trust in His power to heal, restore, and set you free. There is freedom in the name of Jesus, and no power of darkness can stand against Him.

Saint Michael Prayer

O GLORIOUS Prince of the heavenly host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and fearful warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come thou to the assistance of men, whom Almighty God created immortal, making them in His own image and likeness and redeeming them at a great price from the tyranny of Satan. Fight this day the battle of the Lord with thy legions of holy Angels, even as of old thou didst fight against Lucifer, the leader of the proud spirits and all his rebel angels, who were powerless to stand against thee, neither was their place found any more in heaven. And that great dragon was cast forth, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and satan, who seduces the whole world; and he was cast forth upon Earth, and his angels were sent with him. 

Amen

Saint Michael Prayer (2)

Come to the rescue of mankind, whom God has made in His own image and likeness, and purchased from Satan’s tyranny at so great a price. Holy Church venerates you as her patron and guardian. The Lord has entrusted to you the task of leading souls of the redeemed to heavenly blessedness. Entreat the Lord of peace to cast Satan down under our feet, so as to keep him from further holding mankind captive and doing harm to the Church. Carry our prayers up to God’s throne, that the mercy of the Lord may quickly come and lay hold of the beast, the serpent of old, Satan and his demons, casting him in chains into the abyss, so that he can no longer seduce the nations.

Amen

I choose to let go of the hurt and not dwell on the offense anymore. I choose to turn away from vengeful acts and thoughts. You are their judge. Jesus, please forgive me as I forgive others. Every hurt that has ever been done to me, please heal that hurt. Every hurt that I have ever caused to another person please heal that hurt. Please remove bitterness and pain from my heart and heal me in the name of Jesus I pray. I command all evil spirits who had legal rights to me due to unforgiveness to leave me now and go to the abyss in Jesus name.

Amen

Prayers to close the doors opened through Satanism:

I renounce Satan’s lordship and all his demons; I declare them to be my enemies. I break and renounce all soul ties, contracts and vows made by blood letting in the name of Jesus. I close all doors I have opened to Satan and his demons. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind all evil spirits in me from hurting me and command all occult spirits and other connected and related spirits to leave me now. Go into the abyss and never return to me again in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord.

Breaking generational curses:

Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour I confess the sins and iniquities of my parents, grandparents and all my ancestors including the sin of (e.g. freemasonry, sexual sins, witchcraft etc) and other sins I am not aware of that have brought generational curses that have come down to me. Lord, my ancestors have sinned against you. Because of your grace and mercy and what Jesus did for me on the cross, I ask you to set me free from the curses of my ancestors’s sin. I thank you for your mercy and I now renounce, break and sever all cords of iniquity and generational curses off my life. In the name of Jesus, I now lose myself and my future generations from all bondages passed down to me from my ancestors. I command all evil spirits that have taken advantage of these cords of iniquity and generational curses to leave me now in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

Jesus Christ, Lord and Saviour, I repent and renounce the vow I made.

Amen.

Prayer in the Power of the Precious Blood;

My God, may the True Blood be my protection—the Blood of the spotless and unblemished Lamb, the Precious Blood of Your Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

He obtained peace through the Blood He shed on the Cross. May His Blood—the Blood of the new and everlasting covenant, which cleanses from every sin—wash me, sanctify me, and save me. May the Blood of the perfect sacrifice, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins, the Blood that speaks more powerfully than the blood of Abel, make me into Your kingdom and Your priest, that I may overcome the enemy by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony.

Sprinkle me with the Blood of infinite worth, that the Evil One may depart from me. May the Blood in which redemption and the forgiveness of sins are found drive far away from me and keep away every force of darkness, every harmful power, and every hostile influence. May the glorious Blood of the High Priest of the good things to come turn away from me every demonic attack, every unclean spirit, every lying and distorted spirit, every infernal intrusion, and every angel of Satan. Let every falsehood, every impurity, every hatred, every fear, every curse, and every corruption depart from me and flee. Before the wondrous Blood of the crucified and risen Jesus, may every destructive spirit, every rebellious angel, and every poison of the ancient Serpent flee away.

I thank You, my God, that this truly comes to pass, because You are faithful and merciful. I thank You that I may wash my robe white in the Blood of the Lamb. I thank You that redemption is in Jesus, whom You appointed as the atoning sacrifice and as my deliverance through His Blood, received by faith. In faith I confess that He saves me and sets me free.

May peace come. May the joyful purity of heart come. May childlike trust come. May simple certainty come. May brotherly love come. May the Spirit of Truth and Holiness come. May Your holy angels come, take possession of me, guard me, and protect me, so that Your immeasurable holiness may be manifested in us.

To You be thanks and glory forever.

Amen.

Psalm 91 for protection:

1 Whoever dwells in the Shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; whom I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
