Self Deliverance

As I learned from Derek Prince and my parents, the same techniques and pre-requisites that apply to delivering somebody else can be used for self deliverance as well as group deliverance. If you identify an area of your life that is not under the control of Christ (and who doesn’t ?) or maybe you have been delivered and are concerned that the demonic influences are prying their way back in, you can try self-deliverance first and if that is not enough, seek the help of someone in the deliverance ministry. This area could be your temper (anger), your mind (forgetfulness or thinking negatively), your sexual habits (pornography) – whatever it is, you need to turn it over to Jesus.

As has been discussed, we must come to the deliverer (Jesus) openly and directly. Jesus said “if any man come to me, I will not cast him out”  If you come to Him, He will receive you.  Start by humbling yourself and praying.

Remember these very important points:

1)      Once you have finished praying this prayer, be quiet! Once the word ‘Amen’ comes out of your mouth, stop! This includes praying in tongues! As long as you are talking, the demon stays inside of you. Since demons exit by way of the mouth 90% of the time, we want your mouth clear.

2)      Once you have stopped praying, begin to blow out – expelling the demon inside of you. As has been discussed, you need to take action to be delivered and this expelling is that action.  The Bible says in James 2:20 that “faith without works is dead (useless)” and is very true. You need to put your faith into action by expelling, breathing out, the demon.

3)      Whatever happens when you expel the demon, go with it – If you start to cough up mucous do not swallow it but expel it into a tissue to discard. Do not hold back or try to be ‘dignified’ – let it go! The devil is no gentleman – he comes in uninvited and usually has to be kicked out, so kick him out with everything you’ve got, cough him out!

The prayer:

“Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God and the only way to God. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. I come to you now for mercy and for forgiveness. I believe that you do forgive me and receive me as your child. And, because you receive me, I receive myself, as a child of God. Lord, you know the special problem I have with (Name each area individually) the demonic influences that torment me. Lord I want to meet your conditions and receive your deliverance. First of all, I forgive every other person whoever harmed me or wronged me. I forgive them all now.”

(Pause and name any persons that come to mind)

“Lord I have forgiven all these persons and I have laid down all bitterness and resentment, all hatred and all rebellion and I believe that you have forgiven me and I thank you and praise you for it. I also renounce every contact with Satan, with occult power, with secret societies, with anything in Satan’s territory. I repent of being on that territory and I turn my back on it now. Lord, if there are any curses over my life I thank you that on the cross you were made a curse that I might be redeemed from the curse and receive the blessing, and I claim that blessing now, released from the curse and into the blessing. Lord, I want to come against any evil spirit in me that occupies any area of my personality. I want to tell you that I hate them, they are my enemies and I rebuke them in your name. I will not make peace with them. I will not compromise with them and they will have no more place in me. I turn against them now and by the authority of your name Jesus, I command them to leave me. I expel them right now in the name of Jesus! AMEN! “

Now, stop praying and expel the demon by faith! Blow them out!

NOTE: If this prayer is used in a group deliverance setting, the following prayer should be made by the lead minister:

“Now Lord as your servant and representative here today, under the authority of the local leadership, I take dominion in Jesus name over every evil spirit that has been renounced and I command it to go NOW,  In Jesus name! Release these people and go from them now in the mighty, all prevailing name of Jesus Christ! I affirm that Jesus Christ is Lord over this gathering, that He has defeated Satan, that He holds the keys over death and Hades, that all authority has been given unto Him by heaven and in earth! Satan you are subject to us in the name of Jesus! You must obey us! You must leave these people now! You have no options! The Word of God says that you must leave! In the name of Jesus! AMEN!”

Now, thank Him and praise Him for what He has done in your life today.


May The Blood of Jesus cover, bless & protect you!
