Deliverance Prayer Self-Deliverance Prayer Father God, I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the dead. He redeemed me by His blood and I accept Him as my Lord and Savior. I belong to You and I will live for You. I confess my sins—known and unknown. I repent and ask for Your forgiveness. Please cleanse me with the blood of Jesus Christ. I renounce Satan and all his works. Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You as my mighty Deliverer. You know every evil and unclean spirit that has bound, tormented and defiled me and my blood line. I claim the promise of Your Word, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” I call upon You now. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You for delivering me and setting me free. As You forgive me for my sins and make me free, I also forgive myself for sinning against the Lord and for sinning against my body. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I forgive my ancestors, descendants, and everyone who has ever hurt me in any way, and I ask You to forgive them as well. I break all curses, hexes, vexes and demonic ties that bind. I break all soul ties caused by witchcraft or sexual sins. I decree and I declare that the yokes that held me bound are destroyed by the anointing of God. Jesus, You gave Your disciples authority over all demons. You said, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” I now exercise that same power to set myself free. According to the Word of God, I stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might with the whole armor of God. In the finished work of Jesus Christ and in His name, I stand against the wiles of the devil; all principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places. Satan, I come against you in the name of Jesus Christ, by the blood of Jesus, by the Word of God, by power of the Holy Spirit, and by the authority of the Believer. I remind you that I sit in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Jesus has given me power over you, your fallen angels, your demons and all forces of evil. Therefore, I command all evil and unclean spirits to line up in rank and file order, starting with the root, and come out quickly without hurting, harming or endangering me. Come out now in Jesus’ name. Father God, thank You for making me free. Thank You Jesus for destroying the works of the devil. Thank You Holy Spirit for restoring my fragmented soul – my mind, will and emotions. Now, I ask You to fill me with Your holy power. Fill me with love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I thank You in the name that is above all names, the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: My Deliverer, King and Master. Amen.

  • Calling out Unclean Spirits the First Presbyterian Church in Springfield Rev
    Calling Out Unclean Spirits The First Presbyterian Church in Springfield Rev. James K. Poinsett, Pastor January 29, 2012 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time 1Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. 2Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. 3Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever. 4He has gained renown by his wonderful deeds; the LORD is gracious and merciful. 5He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant. 6He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. 7The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy. 8They are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 9He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever. Psalm 111 (NRSV) 21They went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. 22They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, 24and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” 25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

  • Sermon for 1-28-17; Mark 1:21-28 the Rev. Maggie Leidheiser-Stoddard Christ Episcopal Church, Springfield, OH
    Sermon for 1-28-17; Mark 1:21-28 The Rev. Maggie Leidheiser-Stoddard Christ Episcopal Church, Springfield, OH {hissed/growled in my most demonic speaking voice} 'What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God!'i If you are expecting a sermon about exorcism or 'spiritual warfare' this morning, let me take this opportunity to apologize. That is not what you'll be getting in this church. The confrontation between Jesus and this "unclean spirit"ii is dramatic, and it certainly captures our attention. But there's something even more important going on here, as described by the witnesses in the synagogue: "What is this? A new teaching -- with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."iii This story, like all our Gospel readings this season, is from Mark's Gospel. Biblical scholars agree that Mark's is the oldest of the four canonical Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and that fragments of Mark's text were used by Matthew and Luke. John is an altogether different story, but we won't get into that today. The point is that Mark is the oldest of our four Gospel accounts, and that Mark's text was circulating and spreading the Good News about Jesus Christ before the other three. Mark's text also contains no birth narrative -- no choirs of angels, no baby in a manger. The Gospel of Mark begins with an adult Jesus being baptized by his cousin John in the Jordan River.

Introduction Synthetic studies of evil spirits in the Dead Sea Scrolls can be found in survey articles on demons or demonology by Philip Alexander, Michael Mach, and Esther Eshel.1 Many other publications also touch upon the topic of evil spirits in the scrolls, either in the context of the discussion of specific texts, like, e.g., the Two Spirits Treatise or the Songs of the Sage, or when discussing broader topics like angelology, dualism, magic, purity and impurity, or sin.2 In addition, there is a 1Bibliographic references in this contribution will largely be confined to literature of the last twenty years.

  • The Gospel of Mark Bible Study Fall Semester 2020
    Master/Teacher Model at Louisiana College The Gospel of Mark Bible Study Fall Semester 2020 Abstract on The Gospel of Mark: The Gospel of Mark is believed to be the first Greek Gospel. This Gospel bears the name Mark because of its author John Mark, who was a travel companion of the Apostle Paul. The content for the Gospel of Mark is believed to be the memoirs of the Apostle Peter, which Mark wrote while Peter served out his final days in a Roman prison. The date for writing the Gospel of Mark is debated more than authorship. Dr. Daniel Wallace and other scholars composite that the Gospel of Mark was written probably in the 50’s. However, Dr. Bill Warren and other scholars believe that the Gospel of Mark was written probably between A.D. 65-70, which supports the date for Markan Priority. The Gospel of Mark reveals Jesus as the Suffering Servant and the Perfect Disciple and calls believers to remain faithful in light of suffering as followers of Christ. This Bible book offers the Louisiana College family a beautiful opportunity to search within for what the Lord is calling you to do but also to realize that suffering is just part of being an imperfect yet faithful disciple of Christ Jesus. I invite you to join the journey this academic year and learn more about Jesus through the heart of Mark, a disciple of Jesus and the Apostle Peter. Session 1: Mark 1:1-13 Text of The Gospel of Mark 1:1-13 1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

  • I Think It Is Interesting and Telling That the Gospels Tell Such a Different Story About Evil Than the Hollywood Version That We’Ve All Been Overly Exposed To
    1 I think it is interesting and telling that the Gospels tell such a different story about evil than the Hollywood version that we’ve all been overly exposed to. Hollywood wants us to think that there is some kind of continual war between good and evil and the jury is still out about who is going to win. That is not what the Christian Gospel proclaims. In the Christian Gospel, unclean Spirits don’t stand a chance against the in-breaking, authoritative power of Jesus Christ. In our reading from this morning, the unclean spirit is so afraid of Jesus that the first thing he asks is if Jesus is going to destroy him. Jesus seems to view him as little more than an inconvenience saying “be silent, and come out of him.” To quote the Apostle Paul: In the Christian Gospel, “neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, [are] able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus is the Holy Presence of God on earth. When the Kingdom breaks in around him, nothing evil can stand in his way. In this story of the exorcism in the synagogue, Mark tells us that “no oppressive boundary will stand or withstand the [power] of Jesus. All that is demonic…will not survive in the face of the demon- tossing, [Holy] Spirit-possessed Son of God.”(Charles, Gary, Feasting on the Word Year B, 313).

  • “Such Fictitious Evil Spirits”: Adriaan Koerbagh's Rejection of Biblical
    religions Article “Such Fictitious Evil Spirits”: Adriaan Koerbagh’s Rejection of Biblical Demons and Demonic Possession in A Light Shining in Dark Places (1668) Ismael del Olmo History Department, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, University of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires C1406CQJ, Argentina; [email protected] Received: 13 March 2019; Accepted: 15 April 2019; Published: 19 April 2019 Abstract: This paper traces Adriaan Koerbagh’s interpretation of biblical devils and scriptural instances of demonic possession in his 1668 Een Ligt Schijnende in Duystere Plaatsen (A light shining in dark places). Koerbagh’s book is a radical exponent of the early Dutch Enlightenment, and its views on demonology are of importance if we want to assess the extent to which traditional scholastic pneumatology was challenged in the second half of the XVIIth century. This paper will also address Thomas Hobbes’ positions regarding demons and demonic possession in Leviathan (1651), given that Hobbes’ interpretations were fundamental to Koerbagh’s own positions. We will focus on the Hobbesian exegetical strategies of etymology, naturalization, and metaphorization, which helped Koerbagh to point at diseases, evil thoughts, figures of speech, or human enemies as plausible explanations for scriptural passages concerning devils and possession. But we will also see that Koerbagh’s Cartesian definition of spirits led him to a more radical stance than that of Hobbes: demons do not exist at all. This paper will end by claiming that Koerbagh’s interpretation of Christian demonology both as a remnant of Pagan and Jewish superstitions, and a knowledge indifferent to salvation—themselves Hobbesian principles—went hand in hand with his attempt to secularize the biblical text.

  • Demonization/Deliverance I
    DEMONIZATION/DELIVERANCE I. The Control - Matthew 15:22 "demon possessed," lit. "demonized" And behold, a Canaanite woman came out from that region, and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, 0 Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed." Matthew 15 :22 The demons are commanded to come out of the person. (Mark 1:23-27, 9:25; Acts 8:7, 16:18). And when Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, " You deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again." Mark 9:25 For in the case of many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out of them shouting with a loud voice; and many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. Acts 8:7 And she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her! " And it came out at that very moment. Acts 16:18 A demonized person is like a house to a demon. (Matthew 12:43-45) Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. Then it goes, and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.

  • “To Jerusalem Is Given the Promise That All Nations Will Go up There to Pray to God, the One True Lord of the World
    “To Jerusalem is given the promise that all nations will go up there to pray to God, the one true Lord of the world. In the course of history many peoples have gone up to Jerusalem in different waves and settled there. But Jerusalem is still far from being a city of peace. During his second stay in Dormition Abbey’s Beit Joseph, James Paharik examines in the course of many conversations the causes, prejudices, sociological and ethnic fault-lines, and human intransigencies of the situation. Along with many who live in the land itself and with idealists who come from outside, he goes in search of peace among the mixture of cultures and religions. In this he is supported not only by desire, but by a hope which is grounded in the fact that God himself works in us through his Spirit. For Paharik, the monks on Mount Zion become witnesses of this hope, a hope which will find concrete expression in the projected Beit Benedict, an academy for the promotion of peace among the adherents of the three abrahamic religions. If, like Mary, whose death is com- memorated on this mountain, we open ourselves fully to God, then we shall no longer judge one another but discover one another in God.” —Dr. Notker Wolf, OSB Abate Primate Badia Primaziale S. Anselmo Rome “I heartily recommend The Long Journey because it explores in a bal- anced way the historical and contemporary multilayered tapestry of the Holy Land. Woven into this tapestry is the possibility of diminishing and even ending the present division of Jews and Arabs.
