Prayer: Taking Authority Over All Evil Spirits

Our Father, who art in heaven

Maker of heaven and earth

Hallowed be thy name

We thank you Father for redeeming us with the shed blood of your only begotten son, Jesus Christ.

Thank you that now we are your children, brothers and sisters with Christ Jesus and that we are all new creatures, created in His image.

Thank you that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds to the mind of Christ.

Thank you for sending guardian angels to protect us and keep us safe.

Thank you for providing a way where there seems to be no way.

Thank you that you fight our battles for us and that no weapons formed against us shall prosper.

Battles have been won by marching around the walls of Jericho, confusion of the enemy causing them to fight against themselves and just a sling and a stone.

Thank you for equipping us to fight with the armor of God.
All we have to do is just show up for the battle, ready to fight and watch how You Almighty God will defeat our enemies and grant us your promise of victory in all things.

By the power given to us by Jesus Christ, we take authority over Satan and his demonic forces that are coming against us, to steal, kill and destroy in our mind, body, soul, spirit, health, finances and relationships. 

With the power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we overtake the spiritual forces of evil  that are operating in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones.
We render them powerless over us.
In the name of Jesus.   

Thank you Father that our enemies have been defeated, they are under our feet.

Thank you Lord that with You, nothing is impossible and that if we only believe, all things are possible.

Thank you that there is power in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the power to overcome and be victorious in all things.

In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen

Destroy the Enemy's Forces

                                                                                       

War Requires Warriors

Warriors Must Have the Tenacity to Overcome Their Enemies 

Man's Authority Over the Earth

God gave the first man Adam, authority over the earth and its fullness when he was created.
Genesis 1:26-28. 

God made man just a bit lower than Himself and gave to man His authority over the world.          
Psalm 8:4-6 

Now the earth is not under man’s control.
Hebrews 2:6-8

Satan mentioned that the authority of the kingdoms of this world was delivered to him and that he could give that authority to Jesus if He would bow down and worship him.  This was a legitimate temptation. 
Luke 4:4-5  

When Adam sinned, he broke fellowship with God and so also for the entire human race. He gave away the authority that God originally gave to him at creation.

 Satan's Kingdom

Satan's kingdom consists of principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.  
Ephesians 6:12

Jesus Disarmed Satan of his Authority

 Jesus knew that He would legally reclaim the lost authority of man in His death and resurrection!

Jesus disarmed the principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it (at the cross).
Colossians 2:15

                                                     
Jesus disarmed Satan of the authority He received from Adam when he sinned, and then He gave that authority back to the church!

When Jesus was raised from the dead, He was seated beside the Father.  Far above all principalities and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. 

He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.         

Ephesians 1:21-23

Jesus is Lord of the armies of heaven and  He fights with the armies of the earth.

The forces of light are far more superior than the forces of darkness and Satan has already been defeated through the cross.   

Man's Authority Over This World Is Restored  

Jesus didn’t defeat the devil for Himself, He already had authority over him.
Luke 10:17-19 

He defeated Satan as a man, the second Adam, or the Last Adam.
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 

Jesus represented the human race so that we too could exercise authority over our adversary who “walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
1 Peter 5:8-9

In the light of Jesus’ position in heaven, God raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:6

 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the Father”
John 14:12 

What that means is that we share the very authority that Jesus has over Satanic forces seeking to harm us!



Authority In Jesus' Name

His name represents His person, His position, His seating, and His authority!

His name is above every name! Every demon force must bow to the name Jesus!
Philippians 2:9-11

The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”                                             
Jesus replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Luke 10:17-18

They have been given power and authority over all devils.  
Matt. 10:1   

They have authority to tread upon snakes and scorpions and nothing will hurt them. 
Luke 10:19

Believers have the authority to bind the strongman and strip him of his armor.

Jesus Has Given Us the Unqualified Use of His Name in His absence.

Jesus’ name will accomplish everything that He can accomplish, without Him personally being present!                                                                                         
"If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.”
John 14:14
Then why are so many Christians sick, depressed and oppressed?  

Why are believers losing to a loser and why are they being defeated by an enemy who has already been defeated?  


In order to destroy the powers of darkness, believers must operate in the authority Jesus gave them. 

David was a king who experienced the power of victory in warfare. He had many victories over his enemies.  He prayed for the defeat of his enemies and God answered him.  

Every time you or your family are attacked with sickness, disease, or physical weakness of any kind, rise up in the Name of Jesus and command Satan to take his hands off of you,  your family members and your friends!

If you lie down and do nothing when attacked, Satan will dominate you. That’s what most believers do today!

When confronted with financial lack, oppression, depression, fear, weakness, failure, or anything else that steals, kills, and destroys, rise up in the Name of Jesus and command Satan's power to be broken over your life, family and friends.   No one has more authority in your life and family than you do!

Everyday, submit yourself afresh to Jesus’ Lordship over you, and then command Satan and his forces to back off and leave your family, your church, your nation, alone in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Don’t wait until a crisis arises. Assert your rights in Christ Jesus against Satan today.  Disarm him and take away His power and control, before succeeds in destroying you and your family.  

We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony.
Rev. 12:11

Because of Jesus, we are already made more than conquerors.
Romans 8:37



 






David was a king who experienced the power of victory in warfare. He had many victories over his enemies.  He prayed for the defeat of his enemies and God answered him.  

The Power of Victory in Warfare

Believers can have can experience  victory over their spiritual enemies.  

The strategy in warfare is to destroy and rout the forces of darkness by releasing the angelic armies of heaven. 

The warriors of Christ must overcome principalities and powers with the armor of God.  

They must take up the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith to fight the fiery darts of the evil one. Eph. 6:12-18

The source of power is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.  

Life and death are in the power of the tongue.  
Prov. 18:21  

The words we speak are spirit and life.  
John 6:63

Pray and confess God's Word.  God's Word released through your tongue will cause His power to manifest in your life.  

The battle has already been won.  Believers have the victory over every demonic spirit through the blood of Jesus.

Was John Lennon a Christian?

These People Said They Would Kill For Money

Watch the video below on the life and tragic murder of John Lennon. It reveals what people will do for money. 

There are ordinary people out there who would kill you.  All they need is the right amount of money and the belief that they won't get caught.

Just before he was murdered, John Lennon told Playboy magazine that he didn't want to die at 40. 

Ironically the famous singer was gunned down at the age of 40 by a man who killed him just because he wanted to become famous.

Will You Go to Heaven With Unforgiveness in Your Heart?

Unforgiveness is the emotional and mental state of holding a grudge. 

Bearing record of wrong doings, and speaking negative words with irritation and anger in your heart to and about another person.

Matthew 6: 14-15
"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." "But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."                           

Jesus made it very clear that our sins are not forgiven if we do not forgive others. If our sins are not forgiven, we cannot enter into the presence of God as the holy and righteous God cannot tolerate sin in His presence. 

Forgiving others is not an option if we want to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Choose to forgive whether you feel like it or not and no matter what your thoughts are on the matter. 

Choose to be obedient just because the Lord says so.

Pray and ask God to help you to forgive and to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 

Change the way you think. Redirect your thoughts from negative to positive. Think about the good qualities that person has. Apply God's word to every situation.

God's word says to pray for our enemies. Bless and do not curse them. Don't slander but speak uplifting, encouraging words about them. 

Do not repay evil with evil but overcome evil with good. 

Let go and let God deal with them and choose to experience the abundance of peace and joy the Lord has for you.

Watch this amazing video, depicting one man’s death experience and visit to heaven and hell. 

He was told by an angel that his destiny was hell because he didn't forgive his wife before he died. 

Daniel’s journey to the other side is absolutely mesmerizing! 

He comes back to life to tell about it.

What is Forgiveness?

Forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt or offended you might always remain a part of your life, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help you focus on other, positive parts of your life. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn't minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the act. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life.

What are the effects of holding a grudge?

When you're hurt by someone you love and trust, you might become angry, sad or confused. If you dwell on hurtful events or situations, grudges filled with resentment, vengeance and hostility can take root. If you allow negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice.

If you're unforgiving, you might pay the price repeatedly by bringing anger and bitterness into every relationship and new experience. Your life might become so wrapped up in the wrong that you can't enjoy the present. You might become depressed or anxious. You might feel that your life lacks meaning or purpose, or that you're at odds with your spiritual beliefs. You might lose valuable and enriching connections with others.

What are the benefits of forgiving someone?

Letting go of grudges and bitterness can make way for compassion, kindness and peace.
Forgiveness can lead to: Healthier relationships, greater spiritual and psychological well-being, less anxiety, stress and hostility, lower blood pressure, fewer symptoms of depression and a lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse.

How do you reach a state of forgiveness?

Forgiveness is a commitment to a process of change.
Pray and ask God to help you to forgive.
Be Transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind.

Consider the value of forgiveness and its importance in your life at a given time. Reflect on the facts of the situation, how you've reacted, and how this combination has affected your life, health and well-being.  Actively choose to forgive the person who's offended you.  Tell yourself that it's not worth the damage it is doing to you.

As you let go of grudges, you'll no longer define your life by how you've been hurt. You might even find compassion and understanding.
