THE REDEEMED OVERCOME DEMONIAC POWERS
Introduction:
A Christian is not indwelt, possessed, or continually controlled by a demon. Born again Christians are Holy Spirit, indwelt, (I Corinthians 6: 19, 20), sealed, (Ephesian 1: 13, 14,), regenerated, (John 3-6), baptized (spiritually) into CHRIST JESUS, (Romans 6:3, 4), and filled, (Ephesians 5:18). A Christian can be demonized or attacked by demoniac activity. The Christian is willing or unknowingly been demonized, and is obeying the demon. They have surrendered temporary control of an area of their lives to the demon’s desire of worship. The demon, his name, is his ungodly activity of worship in his name (Names: fear, lust, evil power, anger, pride, liar, etc), and he is seeking worship from the person who has surrendered control to the demon. The demon has temporary dominion and the demon is worshipped in the person’s evil activity or mental bondage.
I. QUESTIONS TO ASK THE PERSON?
A. Does the person want to be delivered from this demoniac disturbance? John 5:6, Mark 10:51.
B. Is the person a born again Christian, or is he desiring to be born again through this deliverance from the demoniac activity in their life? John 3: 3, 5.
C. Is the disturbance an ongoing psychological disorder, or a supernatural, unwanted, ungodly bondage, and activity in the person’s life? Mark 5: 1-9, 7:25, Matthew 17:15.
D. What is the person’s main disturbing demoniac activity in their life? (Anger, murder, lust, fear, ETC) Mark 1:23, Mark 5:2-5, Mark 7:21, II Peter 2:10,
E. Do you and your prayer partners believe Christ Jesus and His Blood can deliver this person from the demoniac activity in their life? Matthew 17: 19, 20, Mark 7: 28, 29, Mark 6:13.
II. PRAY TO DETERMINE IF THE MENTAL ACTIVITY IS DEMONIAC OR THE RESULT OF THEIR OLD SIN NATURE’S PROBLEM?
A. Pray along these lines: “(Their name) is a child of Christ Jesus, this person is covered by the Blood of Christ, and (Their name) desires no allegiance to Satan or this demon.” “(Their name) does not want any part with the demon (Name the demoniac activity the person shared with you previously), and this person is free from your dominion through the power of Christ Jesus, and the testimony of Christ Jesus’ Blood.” “The power of darkness has no right to the body of (their name), because they belong to Christ Jesus, who is the authority in their life, and you must depart!” Mark 14:24, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:12, 13:12, 20; I Peter 1:2, I John 1:7, Mark 1:24, Romans 6: 17 18.
B. If it is DEMON, the person will share their evil battle within their heart, manifest strange behavior, or speak ungodly words against you possibly or our Lord, ETC. To calm any unwanted behavior in the person, pray, “Peace, be still, in the Name of Christ Jesus, leave them along, Peace!” “You obey the Lord Jesus!” Luke 8: 28, 29, Mark 5:7, 1:24, Matthew 8:29.
III. PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM THE DEMONIAC ACTIVITY.
A. Call the demon or demons to ATTENTION, AT THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS, and AND THE POWER OF HIS BLOOD! Is your name, (name the main disturbance they shared which is ungodly)? The person will reply to you what the demon says! Search for only the NAMES, and do not answer the demon or allow the demon to converse with you! Ask the demon whose name you now know, the number of the DEMONS in the person? Always pray the questions, “YOU OBEY CHRIST JESUS AND YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME? (THEIR NAMES, THEIR LEADER). YOU MUST OBEY CHRIST JESUS AND HIS POWER OF HIS BLOOD! If the person has over three demons, look for their leader, he is the most powerful one in the person. I Corinthians 1:18, Mark 5:9, Mark 1:34, 39, Power is in Christ Jesus, not the Christian. Hebrews 10:19, 9:14, I Corinthians 10:16, Christ’s BLOOD.
B. Continue to demand the demons to give you their NAMES until you have the complete list of demons to match their NUMBER of demons
C. Individually, command the demons, one by one, on your list, “YOU (DEMON’S NAME) DEPART from the person’s name, and you report to Christ Jesus for His orders from Him!” Matthew 8:31, Revelation 9:1, 2, Jude 6, I Peter 3:19, Mark 6:7, 16: 17, Mark 7:30.
D. After the complete deliverance has happened, then you ask again the NAME of each demon, individually ” (their name), “Are you gone (The demon’s name) and have you departed to our Lord Jesus?” If one demon responds, “I am here, you go,” Some times the demon will make threatening remarks to you. You then pray against the demon, his name, with the authority of CHRIST JESUS, and say, “You must obey our Lord Jesus, the power of His BLOOD, and depart to the presence of our Christ Jesus.” If they have departed, the person will respond, “Yes, he is gone!” The person knows the peace of the demons leaving, and the demon will not answer you anymore. Mark 7:30.
E. Have the person now pray, giving thanks for their deliverance, cleansing, joy, and other praises they desire to give to our Father and our Lord Jesus. You pray and rejoice with them. Revelation 12:11 Mark 5:15, Luke 8:36
IV. PRAY WITH THE PERSON FOR THEIR BREAKING ANY PREVIOUS ALLEGIANCE TO ANY DEMONIAC ACTIVITY, VOWS TO DEMONS, OR THEIR WORSHIPFUL EVIL PRACTICES. (This process might take months in a later period in the delivered person’s life)
A. Ask the delivered person to share any commitment they made in the past years of their lives to a demoniac spirit idol, the magical powers with other people, evil spirit activity of worship, their bondage to a satanic person, or an evil habitual activity of self bondage? (The Holy Spirit will show them their previous commitments to the demon’s spirit of worship or the oaths to the demoniac power and authority of the previous demon in their lives)
B. Pray with the person to break any allegiance and bondage they have to this evil person, game, books, habit, group or organization, (Masonic Lodge, Greek fraternity and the Greek god in their University) or evil worshipful practices. Acts 19: 18, 19.
C. Point out to the person, they are “closing the doors” in their life to the past openings they have given for demons to enter their heart to be worshipped by a demon or demons in their evil thoughts or demoniac activities. Encourage the person to keep their heart “door closed and guarded” against the reentry of demons. II Corinthians 10:5, Ephesians 6:10 ff. James 4:7, 8.
D. A Christian who has been delivered from the demons, they need to pray frequently for the BLOOD OF CHRIST protection over their lives. They now know how to deliver themselves from the temptations and the demoniac attacks. Also pray the same power of the COVENANT BLOOD OF CHRIST over their loved ones, family, and home. Revelation 12:11, I Peter 1:2, Hebrews 13:20, Hebrews 11:28, Hebrews 9:22, Matthew 12: 43-45.
