OUT! IN THE NAME OF JESUS


A Guide To Deliverance
from Demon Bondage
Bill was a former drummer in an acid rock
band in California. From his early childhood, he
continually heard voices which instructed him in
various daily activities. He accepted Jesus as his
Savior, and separated himself from his old life style
and worldly friends, many of whom were involved in
drug abuse and the occult. However, even as a bornagain Christian, he continued to hear these voices.
They told him where to go. They told him that
without their instructions he would lose his mental
and musical abilities. Often, both Bill and his mother
would see objects floating around the house.
Now, the demon voices were telling him that
he was going to be killed. It seemed there was no way
of escape. His torment was beyond description. Was
there any hope? Could Bill be set free from the
anguish that he was experiencing day and night?
Sharon was raised in a non-Christian family.
As a small baby, an aunt who was involved with the
occult attached a pin to her crib. This act was part of
a ceremony dedicating her to Satan. Another
traumatic event in her early life also left her full of
fears and insecurities.
After she was married, she became a Christian.
Later she received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, but
7

still her life was plagued by sickness, despair, and


financial reverses.
Could she escape the curse that was placed on
her by her aunt? Must fears and insecurities be a daily
part of her life? Was there any way out of her
continuous cycle of sickness, despair, and poverty?
Carl was raised in a highly respected and
influential Christian family. As he reached his midteens, he become rebellious. He turned his back on
his relationship with the Lord, and willfully gave
himself to lust, illicit sex, and perversion.
He deliberately invited demon spirits into his
body so that they would give him power to control
others and to involve them in his activities.
At the age of seventeen, the demons were so
in control of Carl that he could not speak with his
natural voice. Instead, he spoke with the deep,
gravelly voice of an old man. Realizing that he was
helpless and totally possessed by these demon powers,
he desperately wanted to be loosed from their control.
Was it too late? Had his willful act of inviting
demon spirits into his body put him beyond the reach
of Gods power? Was there any way that Carl could
be set free?
Mary was rejected by her parents when she
was five years old. She was unwanted by her aunt and
uncle who unwillingly assumed the responsibility of
raising her. On the surface, she was a loving, happy
person, but actually she was filled with unforgiveness,
resentment, and was suffering from strong feelings of
8

rejection. While still unmarried in her mid-twenties,


the doctor told her that she had breast cancer and
must have a double mastectomy.
It seemed her whole world had come to an
end. Her hopes for marriage and a normal life
dimmed. She was gripped by the fear of more
rejection, of pain, and even of death.
Bill, Sharon, Carl and Mary all have one thing
in common today. They have all been set free from
these demonic attacks on their lives.
Bill no longer is tormented by the evil voices,
and he has given his musical abilities to the Lord.
Sharon is free from her fears, insecurities, and
the many attacks of Satan on her life.
Carl has been set free from the spirits of
rebellion, lust, and perversion. He has been restored
to fellowship with the Lord and with his family.
Mary forgave her mother and father, and the
aunt and uncle who rejected her. She was set free
from the torment of rejection and resentment. She
was also completely healed of cancer. The surgery
was canceled!
As people heard about these and other
deliverances from demon bondage, it seemed that
there was an endless stream of people desperately
begging for us to pray with them, with their family,
or friends.
Soon it was impossible to finish our work. We
could not give the proper amount of time to our own
children. We were ministering deliverance day and
9

night. It seemed that many thought that we possessed


a special deliverance ministry.
We had discovered the marvelous truth of
Gods Word for every believer. Because He who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world (I John 4:4b).
However, the people that we were ministering
to seemed to believe that greater was He that was in
us than He that was in them.
Our time and energy were continuously
drained in our desire to help others. There was always
great joy in seeing a person delivered and set free, but
God had given us other work and responsibilities.
These things must be placed first in our lives.
Through necessity, we began to seek God for an
answer. The need was so great, so many needed help,
and yet our time was limited.
In the following pages, you will discover the
answer that God revealed to us. You will discover
how you can be set free. You will discover that
deliverance is not a special ministry for a limited few.
It is a sign that should follow every believer.
Jesus said, And these signs will follow those who
believe; (all believers) In my name they will cast out
demons (Mark 16:17a). It is every believer who is to
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4 :7b).
You will discover a tremendous truth. It is
only the truth found in the Word of God that can set
you free.

YOUR BATTLE
Paul describes this battle. For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world (Ephesians 6: 12a).
Peter warns, Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8).
We can no longer sit with our hands folded, a
pious expression on our face, and convince ourselves
that if we ignore the devil, surely, he will go away.
Even the Apostle Paul wrote of his struggles
with Satan and demon forces. He states, Wherefore we
would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but
Satan hindered us (I Thessalonians 2:18). He also said
that he was bothered by a messenger of Satan that
buffeted him (II Corinthians 12:7).
Paul warned Timothy that some Christians
would depart from the faith, because they would give
heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I
Timothy 4:1).
The word translated demon possessed in the
Bible, daimonizomai, actually means demonized,
or bothered by demons. Many Christians are
needlessly bothered by demons not realizing that
Jesus has given us a wonderful assurance. He
declared that He has given us the power to tread on
serpents (the devil) and scorpions (demons), and over all
11

the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt
you (Luke 10:19).
YOUR SALVATION AND
GODS FORGIVENESS
The first step in winning a battle is to be
certain you are on the right side. By praying the
following prayer, sincerely, you can know that you
are part of Gods family and have eternal life.
Father,
I know that I am a sinner. I know that Jesus
died to pay the penalty of my sin, and that He
rose again from the dead. I now accept your
gift of salvation and forgiveness. I accept Jesus
Christ as my personal Savior.
Amen
The moment that you prayed that prayer, and
meant it from your heart, you were born into the
family of God. You received total forgiveness for
every sin that you have ever committed.
God said, I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin
will I remember no more (Jeremiah 31:34b). His Word
also tells us that, the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses
us from all sin (I John 1:7).
A believer can maintain continual fellowship
with God and keep the doors closed to Satan by
confessing every sin to God. If we confess our sins, he is
12

faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from


all unrighteousness (I John 1:9).
To confess your sins means to agree with
God about the nature of your sin as you acknowledge
it to God.
Be quick to confess each wrong to God. Take
time right now, and pray this prayer with me.
Lord,
I confess my sins of ___________ and By faith I
receive your forgiveness and cleansing in the
name of Jesus.
YOUR FORGIVENESS OF OTHERS
The Apostle Paul warned the Corinthians
about the necessity of forgiving others, Lest Satan
should take advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his
devices (II Corinthians 2:11).
If we hold unforgiveness in our hearts against
others, the Bible says that Satan can gain an
advantage over us. This advantage becomes an open
door through which he can successfully attack a
Christian. We are told, Nor give place to the devil
(Ephesians 4:27).
There are few Christians who have not been
hurt or wronged by others. Rejection, or feelings of
rejection, from early childhood often become an open
door for Satans attack if not dealt with properly.
13

A traumatic experience, an accident, a divorce,


or a death in the family often leaves an individual
with open doors through which Satan hurls his fiery
darts of bitterness, resentment, arthritis, or even
cancer.
Mary, who was rejected by her parents and
her aunt and uncle at an early age, held that hurt and
unforgiveness in her heart for many years. This
unforgiveness made an open door for Satan to attack
her body with breast cancer.
I did not know Mary before she walked into
my office one day before her scheduled surgery for
cancer. I did not know about her unforgiveness until
God revealed it to me through the gift of the word of
knowledge.
As I talked with her concerning the
unforgiveness that God revealed to me, she began to
sob. As she wept, she prayed with me. She forgave
her parents, and her aunt and uncle. In that moment,
God healed the hurt that she had been carrying in her
heart almost all of her life. The door to Satans attack
of cancer on her body was closed.
We did not pray for God to heal the cancer.
God healed her as she forgave those who hurt her.
Another test at the hospital confirmed that she was
completely healed. The surgery for the next day was
canceled.
Forgiveness is not an option for the Christian.
It is a commandment of God. Jesus tells us that But if
14

you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your


Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:15).
What an awesome truth. If we do not forgive,
we cannot be forgiven. The good news is that we as
Christians can forgive, because Jesus forgave. We
have Gods forgiveness within us.
You may say, I dont feel like forgiving them.
They dont deserve to be forgiven. We do not
forgive based on our feelings, emotions or reason.
Forgiveness is an act of the will based on our
decision to obey God.
You can close this door to Satans attack by
praying this prayer of forgiveness right now: this
prayer of forgiveness right now:
Father,
In obedience to Gods word, I have decided to
forgive . I know that Jesus has forgiven me, and
I, therefore, now forgive for the things that he,
or she, has done to hurt me and others. In
Jesus name I will no longer hold unforgiveness
in my heart against
Amen
When Jesus forgave us, He said, their sins and
iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 10:17). He
will never again count our sins against us. Likewise,
we must never again let ourselves think about the
hurts, or hold anything against those whom we have
forgiven.
15

YOUR CLEANSING FROM


OCCULT INVOLVEMENT
Many doors are opened to Satan through the
occult. One of the greatest dangers is that we have
thought of these things as harmless.
It was a game. We were just playing for fun.
I didnt believe in it! we protest.
We may have thought we were playing a
game, but in the spirit world it was, and is, much
more than a harmless pastime. It may have been an
opening for a demonic attack.
We have listed many areas of the occult. As
you read this list, you will see how easy it has been to
be involved in satanic areas without realizing it. As
you carefully read the following list, listen to the
Holy Spirit within you and He will recall to your
mind incidents that must be renounced.
Some examples of occult practices are:
fortune telling, crystal balls, tea leaves, tarot cards,
pendulum, palm reading, Ouija board, horoscope,
astrology, hypnotism, yoga, karate, sance,
conjurations, incantations, spirit guide, necromancy,
consulting mediums, life or reincarnation readings.
The list is long. It goes on to include: reading
or watching psychic books, movies, or television
programs, psychic healers, spiritualist mediums,
charmers, water witching, levitation, automatic
writing, charms, fetishes such as a rabbits foot,
magic (both white and black), witchcraft, sorcery
16

spells and hexes, clairvoyance, telepathy, mind


readings, E.S.P., marijuana, or other drug abuse,
mind science religions, transcendental meditation,
astral projections, involvement in secret lodges or
organizations, and rock music having hidden or overt
occultism.
It is necessary to close any doors that you may
have opened to Satan in the past. Satan does not play
fair. He is not concerned with your motives for
being involved in these areas. They belong to him
and you are open to his attack until you renounce
every incident. Close the door to each occult demon
power by boldly declaring:
I renounce ___________ and ___________
and ___________, and my involvement in
___________ in the name of Jesus.
Take the time you need to listen to Gods
voice within you. Go over this list several times,
praying every time you remember an association with
one of these things.
Now that you have closed the doors left from
your past life, you should clean out your environment.
If you have in your possession any books, records,
tapes, jewelry or other objects that have anything to
do with any of the above practices, they must be
burned or destroyed.
Images, or objects representing false religious
worship, Buddhas, Tikis, or voodoo dolls, must be
17

destroyed along with frog, snake and owl objects as


they are creatures of the night often involved with the
occult. Recordings of rock music, or any other type of
music, that encourages ungodly revelations, drug
abuse, illicit sex, perversion, or Satan worship must
be destroyed and boldly denounced.
Many of those who had practiced magic brought their
books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they
counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand
pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord grew mightily and
prevailed (Acts 19:19,20).

18

YOUR COMMITMENT
Another door that Satan will try to use is the
door of self-will and rebellion. It must be closed by
committing your spirit, body and soul, one-hundred
percent, to Jesus as the Lord of your life. Maybe you
feel wanting to do your own thing is not serious or
even of much importance to God. But the Bible states
Gods thoughts on this subject very clearly. "For
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as
iniquity and idolatry (I Samuel 15:23a).
Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for
the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Do you not know that your body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you
are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore
glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (I
Corinthians 6:13b,19,20).
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of
God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1,2).
To be victorious in the battle with Satan, we
must renounce any involvement with the pleasures of
this world. We must be totally committed to obeying
Gods Word. We must continually renew our minds
with the Word of God, and commit our lives totally to
19

Gods will. We must consider ourselves a part of


Gods army and as with any effective soldier, we
must be committed to win.
Dear Lord,
I present my body to You. I commit myself to
You as Lord of my life. I determine to obey You
and Your Word in every area of my life. As a
new creation, I now present my body, my
emotions, my intellect, my time, and all my
possessions to your Lordship. I submit my will
to your will in all that I do for the rest of my life.
In Jesus name, Amen
YOUR NEED DISCERNING OF SPIRITS
Some of us, discovering for the first time that
the devil is out to destroy us, blame the devil or
demons for all our problems. Often it is our own
fleshly desires that are causing the trouble. Peter has
instructed us to Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour (I Peter 5:8).
Especially in this area of spiritual warfare, we
must keep our eyes on Jesus, and not be preoccupied
with the devil and looking for demons all of the time.
We are instead to be continually occupied with Jesus.
Our ultimate goal is not only to be delivered
from demon powers, but to be conformed to the
image of Gods Son. We must avoid any lack of
20

balance that would take our eyes away from Jesus.


We must not give the devil any more attention than
he is due as a defeated foe.
However, if you, or someone else is being
bothered by demon forces, God will reveal the source
of the problem to you by the gift of the discerning of
spirits. When God has revealed the presence of
demons, you deal with them according to what the
scriptures teach.
Once you have cast out the demon spirits by
the authority of the name of Jesus and the power of
the Holy Spirit, keep your thoughts continually on
Jesus and the good things of His Word. Since you are
filled with the Holy Spirit, whenever there is an area
of spiritual bondage that God wants you to deal with,
God will reveal it to your spirit. That is the operation
of the gift of discerning of spirits which is one of the
nine supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Some of the areas that God may reveal to you
are listed here.
Emotional Problems
Persistent problems with anger, resentment,
hatred, jealousy, rejection, depression, fear,
worry, inferiority, and insecurity
Mental Problems
Confusion, loss of memory, mental torment,
and doubt
21

Uncontrolled Tongue
Lying, gossip, criticism, nagging, cursing, and
blasphemy
Addictions
Nicotine, alcohol, drug abuse, and unnatural
compulsions for food or drink
Physical Infirmities
Often incurable illnesses are caused by a
spirit of infirmity, such as deafness, arthritis, or
cancer
Religious Spirits
False religions, cults, occult, spiritism, and
seducing spirits of false doctrine
Satan and demon spirits work to enslave,
defile and torment. Their objective is to kill, steal and
destroy. Thank God, by the revelation gifts of the
Holy Spirit, we are not ignorant of Satans devices
and he will have no advantage over us.
YOUR PROTECTION
THE BLOOD OF JESUS
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and
by the word of their testimony (Revelation 12: 11a).

22

It was the blood of Jesus that atoned for the


sins of the human race, and released us from Satans
dominion.
The blood of Jesus, when accepted by faith,
provides a covering of protection for the believer, his
family and possessions. We do not plead the blood
as if we were begging for Gods protection. We
simply accept and acknowledge what is already ours
by faith.
Jesus told the seventy disciples that He was
sending them out to minister, Behold, I give you the
authority to trample on serpents (the devil) and scorpions
(demons), and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing
shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).
Pray this prayer with me:
Lord,
I thank You that I am not at any disadvantage,
nor do I have any fear in dealing with the devil
and demon powers because You have given me
power over all the power of the enemy and
nothing shall by any means hurt me. By faith, I
acknowledge the covering and protection of
your precious blood over myself, my family, my
home and all my possessions. Thank you, Lord,
for your protection in the name of Jesus.
Amen

23

YOUR AUTHORITY
THE NAME OF JESUS
Jesus said, And these signs will follow those who
believe: In My name they will cast out demons (Mark 16:
17a).
Joel said, Whosoever calls on the name of the LORD
(Jesus) shall be saved (Joel 2:32a).
Solomon said, The name of the LORD is a strong
tower: the righteous run to it, and are safe (Proverbs
18:10).
The seventy returned with joy to Jesus saying,
Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in Your name.
And Jesus answered, Behold, I give you the authority to
trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke
10:17b,19).
Paul spoke to the spirit of divination that
possessed the damsel. I command you in the name of
Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very
hour (Acts 16:18b).
YOUR POWER THE HOLY SPIRIT
Luke tells us that Jesus called his twelve
disciples together, and gave them power and
authority over all devils (Luke 9:1). In the next
chapter he writes that this power was over all the
24

power of the enemy. In Acts he gives us the source of


this power, You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has
come upon you (Acts 1:8a).
Matthew said that we can cast out devils by the
Spirit of God (Matthew 12:28a).
Satan is overpowered by the power of the
Holy Spirit in your life.
Paul wrote that we are to be strong in the Lord
and the power of His might. He went on to inform us
about our amour and the weapons we are to use to
stand against the wiles of the devil. He said that we
are to pray always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit (Ephesians 6:18a).
When writing to the Corinthians he stated, For
if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays (I
Corinthians 14: 14a). As we pray in the Spirit in our
heavenly language, Gods power is released in our
lives to stand against the attacks of Satan and over the
power of the enemy.
As we pray in the Spirit, the gifts of the Holy
Spirit are set free to operate in our lives. The gift of
discerning of spirits will alert us to demonic activity.
The gift of the word of knowledge will identify these
demon spirits, and the gift of wisdom will lead us into
victorious spiritual combat and deliverance.
When we are led by the Lord into a spiritual
fast, our spirit man will become more sensitive to
things of the spirit world. It will take greater
precedence over the desires of our soul and body. Our
25

spiritual perception can become clearer, the gifts


often operate more freely and with greater clarity at
this time. It was for this reason that Jesus once told
His disciples that This kind can come out by nothing, but
prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29b).
Without minimizing the importance of prayer
and fasting, however, we should remember that it was
after this event that Jesus defeated and spoiled
principalities and powers.
At His death Jesus defeated Satan and
fulfilled the prophecy that man (Jesus) would bruise
his head. At that time, Satan was put under the feet
of Jesus, and since we are His body, Satan and all his
demon powers are still under our feet.
Jesus has given every believer the authority of
His name, to use over all of the power of the enemy.
Often when we come against demons, they
will try to make us feel guilt and condemnation so
that we will not be able to cast them out. They will
try to put the thought in our minds that we lack the
ability to defeat them because we have not spent
hours in prayer and fasting before we came against
them. When we know our authority in the name of
Jesus, and have faith in that name, demons must obey
when we command them to leave.

26

YOUR WEAPON THE WORD OF GOD


I can remember when I was a boy how I spent
quite a lot of my time reading stories about knights in
shining armor. I used to picture myself dressed in a
shining metal suit, riding a great white horse, and
defeating the enemy.
It is exciting to read about the amour of God.
God did not tell us to put on our amour. Instead, He
has given us Gods amour. When we stand firm and
tall in His amour, to Satan we look exactly like God.
This is our defense. Put on the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil
(Ephesians 6:11).
We are not to be on the defense when it
comes to dealing with the devil and his demons. We
are to take the offense We are to use the weapon,
described as the sword of the Spirit, which is the
Word of God.
When Jesus was at Peters home in
Capernaum, Matthew relates, When evening had come,
they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He
cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick
(Matthew 8:16).
Earlier that day the centurion came to Jesus
and told Him of his servant who was grievously
tormented. The centurion was a military man and
understood authority, and he said to Jesus, Speak the
word only, and my servant shall be healed (Matthew 8:8).
27

We use the sword of the Spirit, which is the


Word of God, by speaking the Word out of our
mouths. For the word of God is living and powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4: 12a).
Jesus is described with this same two-edged
sword coming out of His mouth (Revelation 1:16).
Notice that we do not defeat Satan and his
tormenting demons by speaking the problems. We are
told to speak the Word only. We must guard the
tongue for Death and life are in the power of the tongue
(Proverbs 18:21a).
When we speak negative words and doubts,
we release Satans power of death and destruction.
However, when we speak the Word only, we release
words of deliverance, health and life.
Jesus is our example. When he was tempted in
the wilderness by Satan, He won the victory by
speaking the Word.
In Matthew we read, He answered and said, "It is
written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceeds from the mouth of God.'
Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not
tempt the Lord your God.' "
Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it
is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only
you shall serve.' "
Then the devil left Him, (Matthew 4:4,7,10,lla).
If you want the devil to leave, do what Jesus
did. He spoke the Word of God out of His mouth. He
28

did exactly as James wrote for us to do, Resist the devil,


and he will flee from you (James 4:7b).
The Apostle John wrote, And they overcame him
(Satan) by the blood of the Lam, and by the word of their
testimony (Revelation 12:11). Another translation
could be, literally, the word in their testimony.
As you meditate on the verses at the end of
this book, and then repeatedly speak them out loud to
the devil, you will be set free.
God said through the Prophet Isaiah, So shall
My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return
to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).
YOUR FAITH A SHIELD OF PROTECTION
John said, For whatsoever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes
the world even our faith (I John 5:4).
Faith produces victory! The book of Hebrews
tells us of the great men and women of the Old
Testament who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked
righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword,
out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle,
turned to flight the armies of the aliens (Hebrews
11:33,34),
According to the Apostle Paul, through faith,
we can subdue the kingdoms of Satan. We can stop
29

the mouth of the devil, our enemy, the one who goes
around as a roaring lion.
Faith will make us strong in the battle against
the alien forces of Satan. Faith will turn his demon
forces to flight.
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians
wrote of the powerful shield of faith. Above all, taking
the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked one (Ephesians 6:16).
These fiery darts are the negative thoughts,
doubts, and fears that Satan continuously tries to put
into our minds.
If we allow these thoughts to stay in our
minds, we will soon begin to imagine ourselves as
sick, defeated, poverty-stricken, helpless individuals.
Soon these fiery darts of the enemy will have become
our thoughts and will have become a strong hold over
our minds and bodies.
Paul said, For though we walk in the flesh, we do
not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ (II Corinthians 10:35).
When the lies of Satan come against our
minds, as we are standing in faith, these fiery darts
bounce off our shield of faith and are cast down. We
can walk in victory every time. Where then do we
30

obtain this shield of faith? So then faith comes by hearing,


and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
As you read, meditate, and speak the verses at
the end of this book, your faith will grow. You will
walk in deliverance, freedom, and victory. You will
begin to visualize yourself as more than conquerors
(Romans 8:37).
When it comes to dealing with Satan and
demon forces, your faith will rise up and overcome
them, because greater is He who is in you (Jesus) than he
(Satan) who is in the world (I John 4:4).
YOUR VICTORY STEPS TO FREEDOM
You, as a believer, have the authority to cast
out demons. You do not need to look for someone
with a special deliverance ministry.
The Bible says, And these signs will follow those
who believe: In My name they will cast out demons (Mark
16:17a).
It also tells every believer to resist the devil
and he will flee from you (James 4:7b).
If you have an unusually strong oppression
from the enemy, you may wish a Spirit-filled friend
to pray with you, one who will join you in an
agreement of faith for your deliverance. If one can
put a thousand to flight, two can put ten thousand to
flight (see Deuteronomy 32:30).
Make certain that you have read and
meditated on the verses at the end of this book, until
31

your faith has become strong, and you are ready to


believe for, and receive, your total deliverance.
I suggest that for a period of at least one week,
you read each scripture out loud three times a day:
morning, noon and night.
When your faith in Gods Word has become
strong, you will resist Satan with the actual authority
of God. His Word is alive and powerful, and the devil
and demons know they must obey.
Now, you are ready to claim your victory.
Step One
You have prayed the prayers in the preceding
pages of this book. Now, thank the Lord for the
protection of His blood, and for the authority of
His Word. Ask the Lord for the operations of
the gifts of discerning of spirits, and the word
of knowledge and wisdom.
Step Two
Boldly state out loud, Satan, I bind you in the
Name of Jesus. For the Word of God states that
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and
whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven
(Matthew 16:19b)
Step Three
In the same way bind the strong man. The Holy
Spirit may give you his exact name or function
by the word of knowledge. Bind the demon
32

spirits that have been the power: the prince,


or rulers of Satans attack on your life.
You have cut off the power of the devil and his
stronghold over your mind or body.
"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the
kingdom of God has come upon you. Or else how can
one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods,
unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will
spoil his house (Matthew 12:28,29).
Step Four
Begin to spoil his house by boldly and
forcibly commanding the demon spirits to leave.
As the Holy Spirit leads you, call them by name
or function (fear, lust, anger, etc.).
In the name of Jesus command them to come
out, or leave. Begin to boldly speak, as you
read, or quote, these deliverance scriptures to
the demon spirits.
Do not be surprised if there are some
manifestations or discomfort as the demons
leave. Keep quoting Gods Word and
commanding them to leave.
Continue this process. Exercise your spiritual
authority until you feel a release in your spirit.
You have spoiled the house of the strong
33

man. He is helpless. Command him to leave,


and he has to go.
You may find that if you have been attacked, or
bothered, in several different areas of your life,
the Holy Spirit will reveal other rulers or
powers to you. Continue dealing with them in
this same way until you feel a total freedom in
your spirit.
Step Five
Now declare boldly, In the name of Jesus, I
am free! Repeat this several times until its
reality strikes a note of joy in your spirit.
Step Six
Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit, and
having received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit,
begin to pray in your heavenly language. Let
the rivers of living water flow out of your spirit.
YOUR ARMORY VERSES FOR
DELIVERANCE
The following is a list of verses from Gods
Word. They can bring you freedom and deliverance.
Read them out loud three times a day: morning, noon
and night.
The first time you read these scriptures, claim
them as Gods promises to you. As you meditate
upon their meanings, visualize them as being true in
your life.
34

The second time, read them as a prayer from


Gods Word to the Lord. An example is, Father, I
thank you that I am the seed of the righteous and that
I shall be delivered.
The third time, read them forcefully out loud,
with confidence and authority. Quote these passages
to your enemy, the devil.
These verses are Gods Word. They are alive
and powerful. They have the same authority as the
words used by Jesus to resist the devil. As you speak
these words with confidence, you too will cast out the
spirits with a word (Matthew 8:16b).
YOU TOO WILL BE SET FREE!

35

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand.
36

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth,

of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which
you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked one.

of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:14,15
37

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war


according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but
mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting
down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought
into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12

and by the word of their testimony, and they did not

Luke 4:18

kingdom of God has come upon you. Or else how can
one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods,
unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will
plunder his house.

YOUR CONTINUAL FREEDOM
You are free! The abundant Christian life is
not one that requires continual deliverance, but one of
walking in continual freedom.
Now that you have been set free, do not
continue to think about demons and their effect on
your past life.
Satan will often try to throw fiery darts of
symptoms at you to make you think that he still has a
hold on your life. It is a lie! He now has no legal
claim on your life. Quote the Word of God at him,
and tell him to leave.
Keep your thoughts away from demons, and
keep them on Jesus and His Word.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever
things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are
41

pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good


report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy - meditate on these things (Philippians 4:8).
Fill your heart with positive thoughts from
Gods Word. Meditate continually upon the Lord. See
yourself as being all that God says that you are.
Visualize yourself doing what God says you can do.
Expect and receive all that God says is yours.
Build yourself up by praying in the Spirit. Learn to
know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may
be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
Satan and demon spirits have no advantage
over you for we are not ignorant of his devices (II
Corinthians 2:ll b).
Jesus said, "When an unclean spirit goes out of a
man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
"Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I
came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put
in order.
"Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits
more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and
the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it
also be with this wicked generation." (Matthew 12:43-45a).
When the demon spirits that have been
bothering you come back to their former house, they
will find you full of Gods love, full of His Word.
The Holy Spirit of God will be flowing out of your
being like a river of living water. They will no longer
42

be able to trespass on Gods property, because your


body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus has come to set the captives free. He has
come to destroy the works of the devil. He defeated
the devil and all his demon powers when He died on
the cross, rose from the dead, and ascended to the
Father.
Now He has given you authority over all the
power of the enemy! You have resisted the devil and
he has fled!
In Jesus name you have cast out devils!
REJOICE!
YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!
IN JESUS, YOU ARE FREE!
