A Powerful Prayer of Deliverance

I often use prayers like the one below when ministering deliverance to an individual or group. If you or someone you know is looking to break free from the grip of evil spirits, it is an effective tool that can help facilitate the process. Don’t view this prayer as a formula, but as a model to follow.

The purpose of the prayer is to close any doors that have given evil spirits access, and come into full agreement with God. Once this is done, demons can be cast out. (It might be helpful to read through this list of open doors before going through the prayer). The prayer should be read through slowly, deliberately, and out loud.

Once the prayer is finished, continue to welcome the Holy Spirit to minister and command evil spirits to leave in the name of Jesus until full freedom is found.
