Prayer for Deliverance,
from: "THEY SHALL EXPEL DEMONS" By Derek Prince**
"Lord Jesus Christ, I believe You are the Son of God and the only way to God- that You died on the cross for my sins and rose again so that I might be forgiven and receive eternal life."
2. Humble yourself:
"I renounce all pride and religious self-righteousness and any dignity that does not come from You. I have no claim on Your mercy except that You died in my place."
3. Confess any known sin:
"I confess all my sins before You and hold nothing back. Especially I confess..."[name your sins]
4. Repent of all sins:
"I repent of all my sins. I turn away from them and I turned to you, Lord, for mercy and forgiveness."
5. Forgive all other people:
"By a decision of my will, I freely forgive all who have ever harmed or wronged me. I lay down all bitterness, all resentment and all hatred. Specifically, I forgive..." [name anyone the Holy Spirit brings to your mind]
6. Break with the occult and all false religion:
"I sever all contact I have ever had with the occult or with all false religion- particularly.... "I commit myself to get rid of all objects associated with the occult or false religion."
7. Prepare to be released from every curse over your life:
"Lord Jesus, I thank You that on the cross You were made a curse, that I might be redeemed from every curse and inherit God's blessing. On that basis I ask You to release me and set me free to receive the deliverance I need."
8. Take your stand with God:
"I take my stand with You, Lord, against all Satan's demons. I submit to You, Lord, and I resist the devil. Amen!"
9. Expel:
"Now I speak to any demons that have control over me. [Speak directly to them.] I command you to go from me now. In the name of Jesus Christ, I spell you by the blood of the Lamb!"
Final Note...
When you feel you're deliverance is complete, or that you have come as far as you can at this time, be sure to kneel down and make Jesus Lord of every area of your life. Remember the warning of Jesus that if a demon comes back and finds the house empty, he will return and bring others with him. On your own you do not have the strength to keep the demons out. But if the Lord Jesus has taken up residence within you, you have His help to keep them out. This reminds me of a woman who was consistently victorious in her Christian life. When asked her secret, she said, "Whenever the devil knocks at the door, I just let Jesus answer!" Do not try to fight the demons by yourself. If you feel your deliverance is not yet complete, wait until your strength returns or you feel prompted by the Holy Spirit. Then continue with the process of getting the demons out.
Sometimes at the end of a deliverance service, a person comes up to me and asks, "How do I know if I'm completely free?" Usually I reply, "It's not my job to give you a certificate. If I did, it wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on! The thing that's really important is that you've discovered the reality of demons and how to deal with them. Now you are responsible to deal with them in the same way wherever and whenever you encounter them."
There is, however, one thing of which you might need to be ashamed: if you discover you needed deliverance from demons, but pride kept you from acknowledging your need and being set free.
