Battle Prayer To Break Legal Rights of Demons
Battle Prayer to Break Legal Rights of Demons
Father,
In the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, I now approach Your throne in a time of great need, in time of an extreme emergency.
Father, as You already know, I have demons attacking me from the outside, and possibly from the inside of my being. I know why they are in my life. I have done some really bad and evil things in my life. I have horribly transgressed against both You and all of Your basic laws and commandments with the sins that I have personally committed against You.
Father, I first want to say to You that I am really sorry for doing all of these bad and evil things against You. There is no excuse for the kind of behavior that I have exhibited over the years. But Father, I now want to take a strong stand. I do not want any more part of this kind of evil and wicked lifestyle.
I know now that You are My only hope and My only salvation to be able to deliver me from the demonic bondage I now find myself enslaved in as a result of crossing over into these kinds of heavier sins.
Father, I ask that You please have mercy on my soul, and that You please forgive me for all of the sins and atrocities that I have personally committed against You under the blood that Your one and only Son Jesus Christ has personally shed for me on the cross.
- Father, in the name of Jesus, I now want to formally confess out all of the bad, evil, and sinful things I have personally done against You. Father, I now confess to you the following things as being sins and extreme abominations in Your sight:
My involvement in drugs.
My involvement unnatural and unholy sex acts.
My use of all kinds of pornography.
My past adulterous affairs and activities.
All of my past thefts and covetousness.
All of my envy and jealousy that I have ever shown against anyone, and all of my lying and deceit that I have ever been involved in.
All of the pride, impatience, hate and rage that I have ever shown or manifested over the years.
All of my involvement in some of the occult arts such as witchcraft, invocation of demon spirits, and tarot cards.
All of the times that I have personally cursed You and prayed to other false gods.
Breaking most of Your 10 commandments to one degree or another.Father, I now know, without any shadow of a doubt, that all of the above activities were evil, heinous sins and abominations in your sight. I am so sorry for going this far against You.
Father, I know that Your Son Jesus Christ has died for all of my sins. Father, in the name of Jesus, I now ask that You please forgive me for every single one of the these sins and transgressions that I have personally committed against You. Let the Blood of Your Most Holy Son Jesus Christ completely wash away every ounce of stench, every ounce of each one of these sins that have been committed against You.
Father, you tell me in Your Word, that if I am willing to confess my sins and agree to repent, that You will fully forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Father, I now ask that You please forgive me for of all of my sins that I have personally committed against You through the blood that Your Son Jesus Christ has personally shed for me on the cross. I now believe that all of my sins have been completely forgiven and completely washed away by the Blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
- Father, I now want to agree to also renounce every single one of the above sins. You have my word that I will never, ever attempt to go back into any area having to do with the occult, any area having to do with sexual fornication, or any involvement in any kind of drug use whatsoever.
Father, in Jesus name, I now officially renounce every single one of the above sins and transgressions that have been committed against You.
- Father, the next thing I need to take care of is when my father raped me when I was a young child. I now know that what he did was evil and wrong in Your sight. However, I will choose not to hold any unforgiveness towards him.
Father, I choose with my own free will to fully forgive him for what he did to me when I was a young child. My father and the judgment on his life will now fall into Your hands, not mine. I hold no hate or animosity towards him. I ask that you please have mercy on his soul when he has to face You for his own personal judgment. I now fully forgive him for what he has done to me.
- Father, I now believe that all of my sins, transgressions, and abominations against You have been fully forgiven by You under the shed blood of Your Son Jesus Christ. Father, I thank You for having this kind of mercy on my soul and that You have made a way of forgiveness for me through the Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ.
Father, with all of my sins and transgressions against You now being fully forgiven – I now want to once and for all break the legal rights these demons have had over me over all of these years.
Father, in Jesus name, I now ask that You fully break the legal rights of these demons. I now ask that You completely break and completely sever every single one of their legal rights that has arisen as a result of my involvement in all of the above sin areas.
Father, in Jesus name, I now want to personally come against each one of these legal rights myself – operating under Your authority and Your anointing to be able to do so.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ – I now fully break and fully sever each one of these legal rights. Father, I repeat, in the name of Jesus Christ, I now command that every single inch and every single part of this legal right line be completely broken, completely severed, and completely demolished in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I now plead the Blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ against each and every single part of this legal right line and command it to be completely broken right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- Father, I also want to reaffirm with you as I have done the other day, that I have now fully surrendered my body, my soul, my spirit, and my entire life into Your hands. I now ask that You place me into Your perfect will for my life.
I am now willing to fully follow You all the rest of the days of my life. I will now be guided by Your Holy Spirit from this moment on – and I will never, ever cross back over into the sin-filled life I used to live in.
Father, I now belong to You, and You alone. You, and You alone, are my Rock and my Salvation. I will look to no other. My life is now totally in Your hands. Father, from this moment on, I will fully follow You and fully serve You for the rest of my eternal life.
Thank You Father.
Thank You Jesus.
Battle Prayer to Cast Out the Demons
Instructions Given to Victim
You have now broken all of the legal rights of the demons on the above prayer that I gave you. They are now ready to be cast out with the battle prayer I will now give you.
I would wait until everyone is out of the house and do this in private between you, God, and the demons.
-
The 1st part of the prayer will be you going to God the Father asking Him to anoint you with His power to cast these demons out and off you for good. You will also be asking God to take this battle up for you and to have His power come through the Holy Spirit to drive these demons off you.
-
The 2nd part of the prayer will be when you will then turn around and verbally engage with the demons to now leave you in the name of Jesus Christ.
-
Say both parts of these prayers out loud so the demons can hear you loud and clear. Also, on the 2nd part of this prayer – hold out your right hand as you are telling the demons to now leave you. The right hand of God the Father is His hand of power and deliverance. As His born-again child, you now have the legal right to be able to do this.
I would say this prayer out loud 3x-4x over the next couple of days.
Battle Prayer to Cast Out the Demons
A) Father,
In the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I now boldly approach Your throne of grace and mercy. Father, I now come before You to once and for all to take these demons out of my life for good.
Father, I have already come before You confessing all of the bad and sinful things I have ever done to You throughout most of my life. I have also renounced my past activities and have told You that I will never, ever go back into those heavier sin areas again. Father, I have horribly wronged You with some of those past transgressions, and I am so sorry that I have ever gone against You and deliberately disobeyed You so many times.
But Father, now is the time to pick myself back up off the mat. Now is the time to make a brand new start with a brand new direction. I have already fully surrendered my body, my soul, my spirit, and my entire life into Your hands. I have now entered into Your perfect will for my life. I am now all Yours. I now belong to You and no one else – and I will now fully serve You and fully follow You for the rest of my eternal life.
Father, now is the time to clean up one last loose end. As a result of my past involvement in some of these horrible transgressions against You, I have drawn demons into my life. I know that I have given these demons full legal right to come into my life and attack me like they have been doing with everything that I have done against You.
Father, but now is the time to take a final stand against these demons! Now is the time to vanquish them out of my life for good! Now is the time to stand up and fight and directly engage with them – operating under Your full power and anointing to be able to do so!
Father, You have said in Your Word that “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out all of their troubles.” (Psalm 34:17)You have said in Your Word that “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.” (Psalm 138:7)
Father, in Jesus name, I now ask that You send me into battle to cast these demons out of my life for good. You say in Your Word that You can “make me bold with strength in my soul” (Psalm 138:3) and that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
Father, since I have now fully surrendered every part of my life into Your hands – I now want to take a hold of the verse that says to “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
Since I am now fully submitted to You, I am now ready to resist Satan and his demons who have been attacking and tormenting me over all of these years. Your Word tells me that Satan and his demons will now flee if I pick up my sword, which is Your Word, and directly engage with them.
Father, in the mighty name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I now ask that You stir Yourself up as a Man of War and go before me to take out this defeated foe. Your Word tells me that “The Lord is a man of war.” (Exodus 15:3)
Your Word tells me that “The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war … He shall prevail against His enemies.” (Isaiah 42:13)
Father, in Jesus name, I now ask that You stir up Your zeal like a mighty Man of War off the wording of this verse.
Father, I now ask that You go before me as a consuming fire. Your Word tells me that “The Lord your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; You shall drive them out and DESTROY THEM QUICKLY …” (Deuteronomy 9:3)
Father, Your Word tells me that You will go before me and “make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.” (Isaiah 45:2)
Father, these demons have kept me prisoner long enough. I now ask that You go before me to make this crooked path totally straight again and that you break the bars that have been holding me captive over all of these years. I now ask that You completely cut and completely sever the cords of these wicked and evil spirits.
In Deuteronomy 33:27, it says that You “will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, ‘Destroy!”
Father, I now ask that you anoint me from head to foot with Your anointing, with Your power, and with Your authority to take these demons head on. You have already told us in Your word that “in my name they will cast out demons,” (Mark 16:15) and that You gave the early apostles the “power over unclean spirits” and that “they cast out many demons.” (Mark 6:7)
Father, not by my might, but by Your Holy Spirit I will engage with and defeat these demons once and for all!
Father, Your Word tells me that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Your Word tells me that I have been given “the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me” (Luke 10:19) and that “Through You we will push down our enemies, through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.” (Psalm 44:5)
Father, now is the time! Now is the time to drive this enemy out of my life once and for all!
Father, Your Word tells me that the Sword of the Holy Spirit is Your Word. Father, in Jesus name, let your Word be my Sword! Father, I repeat, let Your Word be my Sword!
B) (Say all of this prayer out loud and hold out your right hand when saying it)
“In the name of My Lord and Savior and my deliverer Jesus Christ – I am now speaking to every single demon that is on the outside of me and to every single demon who may be on the inside of me.
Demons, in the name of Jesus Christ, I now come against each and everyone of you. I know that you have all been in my life for many years. I also know why you have been allowed to enter into my life and attack me like you have been doing over all of these years.
I now know what all of your legal rights have been over all of these years that allowed you to attack me as you have been doing.
Demons, in the name of Jesus Christ – all of your legal rights have now been totally and completely broken before my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and my heavenly Father, God the Father.
I have now fully submitted and fully surrendered my entire body, my entire soul, my entire spirit, and my entire life into the hands of God the Father. I now belong to God the Father and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I now belong to Them, and to Them alone in this life.
You no longer own me. You no longer have any more legal rights to stay attached to me. All of your legal rights and demonic strongholds have now been completely broken and completely demolished under the shed Blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I have now fully confessed my sin of using drugs over the course of my entire life. I have now fully confessed my sins of fornication and having sex with multiple lovers and partners over the years. I have now fully confessed my sin of watching any kind of pornography. I have now fully confessed my sins of past thefts and covetousness.
I have now fully confessed my sins of breaking most of 10 of God’s commandments to one degree or another during the course of my life. I have now fully confessed my sins of delving into parts of the occult that I had no business treading into. I have now fully confessed all of my sins having to do with my jealousy, rage and anger.
All of my sins have now been fully confessed and fully renounced before God the Father. All of my sins have now been fully forgiven. My slate has now been made perfectly and completely clean. My sins and transgressions against the Lord are no longer remembered in His eyes. I am now a new creation in Jesus Christ.
I am now totally committed to serving Him, and Him alone in this life. Never again will I go back into the sin-filled life that gave you the legal right to be able to come into my life in the first place.
Demons, in the name of Jesus Christ:
I now plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over every inch of spirit.
I now plead the Blood of Jesus over every inch of my soul.
I now plead the Blood of Jesus over every inch of my body.
I now plead the blood of Jesus over every inch of this entire house.Demons, the Word of God is now my Sword! I repeat, the Word of God is now my Sword!
I am now taking up my sword, which is the Word of my God, which is the word of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ – and I am now coming against each and everyone of you – whether you be on the outside of me or whether you be on the inside of me.
Demons, all of your legal rights have now been completely and totally broken – completely and totally demolished – completely and totally severed. I repeat – all of your legal rights have now been completely broken. Your time is up! You will all have to go now! I repeat – you will all have to go now!
To every single demon who is living and operating on the inside of me – I am now coming against each and everyone of you. I now plead the Blood of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ against each and everyone of you. I repeat – I am now pleading the Blood of Jesus Christ against each and everyone of you.
Demons, in the name of Jesus Christ, I now command all of you to come out of me right now and to leave me and this house – and you are to never, ever come back on me again. I repeat – every single one of you that may be on the inside of me is to come out of me right now in the name of Jesus Christ – and you are to leave my body, my soul, and this entire house immediately! Go now, in the name of Jesus Christ! I repeat, go now in the name of Jesus Christ!
To every single demon who may be attacking me from the outside, or who has been living in this house as a result of the legal rights I had earlier given to you, I am now coming against each and everyone of you. You too have had all of your legal rights totally broken.
Not one of you has any more legal right to be able to stay attached to me in any way, shape, or form. You will all now have to go.
Demons, in the name of Jesus Christ – I now plead the Blood of Jesus against each and everyone of you! I repeat – I now plead the Blood of Jesus Christ against each and everyone of you!
Demons, in the name of Jesus Christ – I now command you to leave myself and my house – and you are to never, ever come back on me again. I repeat, you are to leave me and my house for good, and you are to never, ever come back on me again!
Go now, in the name of Jesus! I repeat – go now in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and do not ever come back into my life or in this house ever again!
Father, I have full faith and belief that You have now driven all of these demons out of my body, out of my soul, out of my house, and out of my life for good by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father, I now ask that You protect both me and my family from this moment on, and that You never allow these demons to come back on us ever again.
Father, to You be all of the glory. To You be all of the praise, glory and honor that is only due to You. Father, thank You for this deliverance. Father, thank You for this new life.
Father, I now ask that You take complete control of my life from this moment on and that You lead me into Your perfect will for my life. Father, guide me by Your Holy Spirit into the direction and path that You will want me to take in this life. My life is no longer my own. I now belong to You, and You alone.
Thank You Father.
Thank You Jesus.
Thank You Holy Spirit.
NOTE - The following is taken verbatim from the Bible-Knowledge Website
Remarks
Note the following in the way this prayer was worded:
1. This battle prayer is divided into two main parts. The first part of the prayer is where you go one-on-one with God the Father to fully confess and fully renounce each one of the specific sins that you have committed against Him that have given the demons the legal right to be able to come directly against you.
Also note that I had this woman apologize to the Lord for this kind of extreme activity. Many of her sins were heavy and extreme, and I felt she also needed to apologize to the Lord, as she knew that what she was doing was wrong and sinful in His sight.
If you have engaged in some of these heavier types of sins against the Lord, it would be my recommendation that you also apologize to the Lord from your heart for committing these types of heavier sins and transgressions against Him in the first place.
2. Also note that her natural father had raped her when she was younger. As I stated in my article in “4 Levels of Spiritual Warfare Against Demonic Spirits” – if anyone has severely abused you, you will have to be willing to fully forgive that person in the eyes of God.
This could have been another possible entry point with these demons, so she had to close that door by telling God that she would be willing to fully forgive him for what he had done to her at such a young age.
3. When you get into the second part of the prayer where she is going to go toe-to-toe with these demons to drive them off her – first note that I had her go before God the Father to ask Him for His power and His anointing to be able to defeat and drive these demons off her.
She could have just skipped this part of the prayer and just started to command the demons to now leave her in the name of Jesus since all of their legal rights had been broken earlier in the first part of this prayer. However, what you have to realize was that this was a more serious type of case.
When someone has been beat up for so long from this kind of demonic attack, their faith and strength levels are not going to be operating at the same levels of what a normal Christian may be be operating at.
As a result, you first have to have them go before God the Father and ask Him for His power, authority, and anointing to be able to drive these demons off them. You also need to quote some good battle verses back to God the Father, asking Him to take this battle up for them, since they have been beat up from so many years of constant abuse and torment from these demons.
In the Spiritual Warfare section of our site, we have another article titled, “Battle Verses of the Bible.” In this article, I give you 100 of the very best battle verses from the Bible. You thus have a whole range of different types of battle verses to pick and choose from to put into your own personal battle prayer. The battle verses I picked for this particular case were the ones I thought were best suited for what I was dealing with.
4. Then notice as you get into the part where she starts to verbally engage with the demons. Instead of just starting out by commanding the demons to now leave her – I have her confront the demons and tell them that they have now been fully exposed, that all of her sins have been fully confessed and fully renounced before God the Father, and that all of their legal rights have now been fully broken and completely taken away from them.
Once the demons know and understand what has just happened between this woman and God the Father – they will know they have all been put on final notice that all of their legal rights are now gone. They will know that she now knows who she is in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that they will now be no match for her – since God will now be anointing her with His power to be able to cast all of them out of her for good.
5. As she starts to come against them – also notice that I have her speak directly to any demons who may be living and operating on the inside of her, and any demons who may be attacking her from an outside position, which would be on the outside of her body.
When you come across someone who has crossed over into these kinds of heavier sins and transgressions – there is always a very good chance that some of the demons may have been allowed to literally enter in on the inside of that person’s body and soul.
As I have stated in my article on the “4 Levels of Spiritual Warfare Against Demonic Spirits” – Christians can draw demons into their bodies and souls if they cross over into some of these heavier types of sins. However, the demons will not be able to enter into that person’s human spirit since the Holy Spirit is already living there.
This woman had been saved for about 5 years before I met her, but the attacks from the demons never did stop.
The reason the attacks had never stopped was due to the fact she had never properly broken all of the demon’s legal rights and thus did not have the legal authority to be able to cast them out. Once she had fully confessed and fully renounced all of these heavier sins before God the Father – then the demons no longer had any more legal rights to be able to stay attached to her and they are now ready to be cast out.
Since I did not know what demons were operating on the inside of her or what demons were operating on the outside of her – I had her speak directly to both of them. This way she would be covering both of her bases.
6. Also note that right in the middle of the battle I had her plead the Blood of Jesus over her entire spirit, over her entire soul, and over her entire body. If any demons were trying to hold on to her during this battle – pleading the Blood of Jesus right in the middle of this kind of battle should break them loose since they are obviously no match for the power that is in Blood of Jesus Christ.
7. I then had her finish out the battle command by pleading the Blood of Jesus directly against all of the demons, and then telling them that they now have to leave her since there is now nothing left for any of them to be able to hold onto. This is the part where you now tell them to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ and that they are to never, ever come back on you again.
The prayer is then ended with her telling both God and Jesus that she now believes that God has given her total victory and deliverance from these demons, that she is now willing to fully follow God in the direction that He will now want to take her life in, and then thanking Him for the victory and giving Him all the praise, honor, and glory that is only due to Him for this kind of an extreme deliverance.
