Freedom From Evil Influences


See Deuteronomy 18, 1 Corinthians 6:18, 2 Corinthians 12:21, James 5:16.

If you are constantly bombarded with sinful thoughts or desires that you can’t control through prayer or praise and worship, you may have access points in your life that evil spirits are taking advantage of.

Some sins need to be repented of and renounced. These include sexual sins (all types), involvement in false religions or cults, occult/dark arts, or drug and alcohol abuse. These particular sins open doors to the enemy that need to be closed. All agreement with them must be denied access in a believer’s life.

If you feel led by the Holy Spirit to pray over these issues, have a strong Christian pray and agree with you. You will need to pray these prayers out loud. Before you pray this prayer, make sure you have prayed the Prayer of Repentance above for each sin. Now you are ready to confess and reject these practices. (Before you pray this prayer, make sure you have read all the prayer posts on this blog, and made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.)

Father, I come to You to confess my involvement in (name sin). In addition to confessing this activity as a sin that offends You, I now wish to totally reject any involvement in (name sin) and ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to help me resist any drawing or temptations toward these particular sins. I thank You, Jesus, for Your blood that destroys the power of sin in my life.

I break any words in any form that have been spoken against me or I have spoken in the past that are not in agreement with God’s word. I cancel any agreement or access right now to any evil spirit that may be affecting me as a result of my involvement in (name sin). You have no legal right to me anymore. I have been bought with the price of the blood of Jesus. I have now totally confessed and rejected my involvement in (name sin) to God the Father. As an act of my will, I turn away from (name sin). I ask You to close all doors and break any emotional or spiritual ties I have with anyone right now in the name of Jesus. God has forgiven me and I forgive myself for these sins.

I command any spirits that do not name the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to leave me right now. I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want you anymore. Go now in the name of Jesus Christ! Thank You Lord Jesus for my freedom! I praise You that You have won the victory at the cross for me! Father, I ask You to fill me now to overflowing with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

It is normal to experience temptation for these sins immediately after prayer. Be ready to resist!

Physical Healing Prayer


See Mark 16:18; Psalm 30:2; 107:20; Isaiah 53:3-5; Matthew 14:14; Luke 9:42; James 5:16; I Corinthians 11:29-30.






 

The Bible teaches that as a Christian, you can lay hands on the sick and they will recover. This prayer is a guideline for praying for the sick. Be led by the Spirit when you prayer for others and memorize healing scriptures.

Father God, I ask you to touch ____________.  I know Jesus carried all of our pains and disease and bore ____________ sickness on the cross. Send Your word and heal ________________.  By Your stripes ______________ is healed! (You may rebuke the sickness if you know what it is in the name of Jesus.) I speak life and health to _______________________ and believe You have heard my request. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Scripture teaches that in some cases sickness can be caused by sin such as unforgiveness or judging others wrongly. Pray that the root causes of the sickness would be uncovered. Also, a spirit of infirmity may be tormenting a person. It is important to ask the Holy Spirit how to pray for others regarding healing and to remain loving and patient toward them. Jesus healed with compassion.
