When Jesus was raised from the dead, He stripped Satan of his authority over mankind which was originally given to men and women by God Almighty (Gen. 1:26). That authority has been delegated to the Body of Christ in the earth (Mark 16:17-18). We bind Satan in the name of Jesus. We are not under a curse of any kind once we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, but we still resist any evil that is on the earth by listening and following the Lords teachings then by taking authority over evil (Luke 10:19). As we rebuke and bind it from the root we seal the manifestation of evil assignments from master spirits that work against us and others.
The prayer of binding and loosing halts Satan’s activities. God intends for the Body of Christ to police the evil forces of this world. We are to change circumstances to line up with God’s will and put Satan under our feet through the power of God. We are to spoil Satan’s plans, plots and maneuvers against God’s people.
Exercise your faith in Jesus and enforce the authority vested in the Church (Born-again Christians) by speaking directly to Satan, binding his work and rendering him helpless in your situation in the name of Jesus. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep, Ps. 121:4.
In order to be effective in spiritual warfare His disciples must recognize the authority, represented in His name, upon which His Church is built. The Church will accomplish its victory with the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and these keys are the power to bind and loose. Keys are a symbol of authority.
Now thank God that Satan is bound and unable to work in that particular situation and refuse to give him any more place in it by talking about the problem after you have agreed and bound him, talk the answer instead and the answer is - God’s Word.
Though I walk in the flesh, I do not war according to the flesh. I thank You that Your hand might be with me and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me, I Chron. 4:10.
Spend some time in praise and worship with thanksgiving (singing will bring you into His presence, thanksgiving will bring you into His gates, praise will cause you to enter His courts and worship will allow you to go into the Holy of Holies). Cast your cares and burdens upon the Lord remembering that you do not fight spiritual battles in your own strength; you fight them in the strength of the Lord.
Make certain you are properly adorned: put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provisions for the flesh – lust, envy, strife, bitterness, fornication, hatred, and so forth (Ro. 13:14; Gal. 5:19-20). Declare that you have on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:13-18). Use your authority and weapons as you pray this prayer out loud. Your authority and weapons include: The Blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, the Word/sword of the Spirit (Eph. 6:16-18), the anointing, forgiveness, praying in the spirit, tithing, offerings, love, the fruit of the spirit, marching/walking/stomping/dancing/clapping/silence/shouting (Dr. Cindy Trimm). Angels excel and are strengthened as the saints speak the Word of God and declare the Blood of Jesus.
INTRO TO PRAYER
This entire prayer was compiled and paraphrased in certain areas from various ministries including Dr. Cindy Trimm, Kenneth Copeland, and a host of other ministries including our own to create a dynamic warfare prayer to bind evil and loose righteousness in the earth as well as in our circumstances.
PRAYER
I HAVE ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD AND I DECREE AND DECLARE:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no foe can withstand], Ps 91:1. I am in my set place in the spirit and in the natural, therefore, who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies, Romans 8:33. Jesus is the last Adam, He is my Mediator making intercession for me, I Tim. 2:5.
A thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me, Ps 91:7. One can put a thousand to flight and two ten thousand according to His word in Deut. 32:30. I renounce and bind all soul ties that would distract my mind from my prayer assignment. I bind all financial, emotional, physical, associational, political and professional distractions against my private time with God and my prayer assignment. I renounce and bind assignments of distractions that waste precious time or forms of manipulation that would infiltrate my spiritual life.
I have authority in this house and I have the right to set the atmosphere here, therefore, I decree, declare, and receive as I release by faith the PEACE, REST, HEART, WILL and JOY of the Lord to come into this house where the presence of the Lord is welcome, for it says in the book of Isaiah 32:18, that my home is suppose to be a peaceable habitation, a quiet resting place and the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall stand, Prov. 12:7; Isa. 22:22; Luke 10:19, Galatians 5:22-23.
Every demonic agenda or evil thought pattern designed against the agenda of the Kingdom of God is destroyed at the root of conception, in Jesus’ name! The Lord has given me dominion (authority and rulership) over the elements of gold, silver, weather, all materials, places, products and all the works of His hands; He has put all things under my feet, Ps. 8:6. I commit to walk in this dominion daily. I shall not be denied but will be strong in the Lord and stand firm and do exploits [for God], Dan. 11:32.
I decree and declare a new day, a new season and a fresh anointing. My prayers will disrupt dark plans and give those sent to me as enemies a non-prosperous day. I have victory every morning and every day and in every battle in Jesus’ name, Prov. 22:4.
Therefore, I nullify diabolical decisions and rulings concerning my life, my ministry and the lives of family members (immediate, extended, spiritual), friends, associates, my city, state and country. I deprive master spirits of possession of anything in the Kingdom of God that is mine, any and all diabolical blocks are destroyed as I employ Michael, archangels, strong angels and the angelic host to handle any satanic contentions, disputes, strivings and resistance concerning this injunction that includes all specified acts for my life, Daniel 3:24-25, 6:22, 10:13; Heb. 1:14; Psalm 91:11, 103:20; 2 Chronicles 32:21; 2 Kings 7:5-7.
I resist satanic contentions, intentions, provocations, and negotiations concerning my life and my soul, and superimpose prophetic purpose and divine destiny over and against all activities and opposing forces that are contrary to the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning my life.
No one can curse what the Heavenly Father has chosen to bless according to Numbers 23:8, therefore, my loved ones and I receive and live a long and strong life with the material Blessing from the Abrahamic Covenant and the ‘Spiritual Blessings of Jesus’ both possible because of what Jesus did for me, Gal. 3:14 and Ephesians 1:3.
In addition, I choose to repent of all sin and unbelief that may have opened any door for satanic activity or a curse to come in my life and I now break and destroy that curse and decree the completion of that curse over myself, my family and generations to come. That curse can no longer manifest or operate in my life, 2 Cor. 7:10; 2 Peter 3:9; Acts 5:29-31; Ps 38:1-22.
NO weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isa. 54:17), therefore, I overrule and overthrow the plans of trouble makers, scoffers, persecutors, character assassins, all ill-spoken words, ill wishes, enchantments, divinations, spells, hexes, curses, witchcraft prayers, soulish prayers, every tormenting spirit sent by a witch, warlock, sorcerer, spiritualist or person from the dark side (Deut. 18:9-14), every idle word spoken contrary to God’s original plans and purposes and I reverse the curse associated with these utterances and decree and declare that they shall not stand, they shall not come to pass, they shall not take root because I am redeemed from the hand of the enemy (Ps. 107:2) by the Blood of the Lamb.
Father you disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against me and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it the cross, Col. 2:15. Right now in the name of Jesus, I command satan’s representatives to be exposed. Grant me divine strategies and tactics to identify, to resist and overcome the plots and plans established for my demise.
Father I further ask that You continue to reveal, expose and remove anything and anyone that is not right or good for my family or me and what you purposed for my personal life, family, ministry, business or work. I bind, resist and block backlash, revenge, retaliation, retribution, transference of evil spirits of the enemy and their violent verbal dealings and tactics are returned back against them double-fold as they fall into the very pit they dug for me, Prov. 28:10, Prov. 26:27.
I rebuke, bind, block and seal all evil assignments sent by any master spirits including Sabotage, Azazel (making you the scapegoat), Fear, Jabin, Ahab, Jezebel (controlling, destroys your identity), Baal, Infirmity, Strife, Python (spirit of divination; a snake sent to squeeze the life out of a victim: a person, family, church or territory), Leviathan (Lying Tongue - lies, gossip, accusation, criticism, faultfinding and slander), Agitation (irritated, impatient, expressing anger), Rebellion, Affliction (devours-families, finances to poverty, social life, and your physical, mental & emotional health), Seducing Spirits (counterfeit of the anointing), Waster Spirit (time robber), Pisgah (tries to block your breakthrough), Insecurity, Inferiority, Sanballat (distractions), Tobiah, Amalek (death), Rejection, Eglon (excess tax), Affinity (soul ties, familiar spirits, carnality, generational curses and unholy alliances) and every head of the Hydra (recurring curses) they cannot touch a child of God who is redeemed by the Blood of Jesus. I further bind, block and resist all evil assignments of pride, discouragement, divination, condemnation, intimidation, despair, deception, confusion, distractions, perversion, locusts (come to eat up what I do, receive and to consume my harvest), hindering spirits, spirits that cause miscarriages to abort dreams and visions are also bound that were sent to stop my household and me in the name of Jesus, They Must Go Now!
I also rebuke, bind, block and resist all spiritual wickedness in high places on assignment to world leaders in high places and world rulers on assignment to my family, neighborhood and people in my city and state as I dismantle the power of world rulers from over their heads now, in Jesus’ name.
I bind every force that would attempt to capture my destiny illegitimately. I bind every destiny pirate, destiny thief, and destiny devourer in the name of Jesus. I bind, rebuke and block principalities, evil powers, evil strongmen, evil doorkeepers, evil gatekeepers, evil spies, evil voices, evil vows, the rulers of the darkness of this world (master spirits), spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places, spirits working through people coming against me, self-righteousness, murder, disorientation, religion, complaining, divorce, unforgiveness, bitterness, profanity, doubt, headaches, sin while angry, lust, procrastination, selfishness, lack, idolatry, poverty, a poverty mentality, slave mentality, accidents, cause and effects, spirit of separation, depression, self-pity, manifestation of any evil assigned to me, too much television and computers, bondage, spiritual blindness, fatigue, guilt, drunkenness, gossip, criticism, greed, cursing, forgetfulness, anxiety, envy, jealousy, compromising, cravings, sexual immorality, addictions, mind control, stress, slumber, slothfulness, mammon, hopelessness, all terrorist in America especially in every major city, all malls, the spirit of Eglon (a spirit that taxes and oppresses) and spirits against free enterprise and capitalism are all bound in the name of Jesus.
I will not allow any demonic assignment to stop me, Isaiah 22:22. I also decree and declare that the demonic double portion shall not manifest. Let the demonic anointing of the vicious cycle decrease until it is dried up. The threefold cord of the cycle is disconnected. Thank You Father God that You have given me the power through Your Son Jesus to shut down the authority of the demons that send false winds from the four corners of the earth. The ruach (Spirit) of God has overtaken them and there is no grace for the enemies that oversee this curse. Demonic grace is bound, and there shall be no time, resources, or favor that will work against the will of God in Jesus’ name.
NOW I THANK YOU FATHER THAT JESUS (YESHUA ) destroyed the power of every curse and recurring curses in my bloodline when He went to Calvary, died, defeated death, hell and the grave and rose in three days, Hebrews 12:2; Isa. 53:10-11; I Cor. 15:4; Ps. 16:10; Acts 13:35. So, I choose not to receive or allow any curse that is sent but instead choose to enter into a new cycle of blessings released in this new season in Jesus’ name.
I thank You that my heart is pure before You. I also release prayer, forgiveness, repentance, fasting, intercession, giving and action on my part as I call forth the Spirit of Truth, Light, discernment of spirits, and the wisdom of God to know what to do and when to do it in Jesus Name, Eph. 6:12; Judges 4:3, Neh. 6:1.
I welcome HOLY SPIRIT into everything that concerns my life and I purpose to pray in tongues (my spiritual language) more often so I can continuously be built up and allow the Holy Spirit to pray through me. I thank You Father God that I am quickened by the Spirit to pray, fast, watch, worship, study the Word and to do warfare on behalf of the Kingdom of God. I realize that as I confess the Word of God I can then take possession of the things I am confessing. I pray that I will only speak positive spirit-filled words concerning me. If I confess negative things I will repent and dig those word up and put them under the blood of Jesus. Then I will not take possession of those negative things and have what I said. Holy Spirit I thank you for helping me to keep my confession straight and in line with the will of God. Christ’s divine presence within me preserves me against evil and the wicked one does not lay hold (get a grip) on me or touch me (I John 5:18) in Jesus’ name. I am dead to sin but alive to God (Romans 6:11), therefore, I remain humble before God and God helps the humble, Phil 2:4-5.
My spiritual life is prosperous and no good thing will be held back from me. Any and everything that I put my hands to the plow to do is blessed. I decree and declare that all the enemy has stolen through my generational bloodline is restored one hundredfold now because I have asked for forgiveness and repented for whatever sins that were committed and not dealt with by my three previous generations in Jesus’ name. In addition, God robbing is broken out of my bloodline (Mal. 3:8-10). The blessing of Abraham is mine and it is over taking me. I am steadfast (established, immovable, firm in purpose and rooted) in my set place and my enemies have no power to stand against me, therefore, darkness is clearing away and the true Light (the revelation of God in Christ) is already shining, I John 2:8. If I get out of my set place (physically or spiritually) it will hinder the authority I have over my territory, therefore, thank you Lord for giving me the wisdom and strength to remain in my set place.
I am the just, therefore, I will live by faith, and if I draw back and shrink in fear, God’s soul has no delight or pleasure in me. I do not, therefore, fling away my fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward, Hebrews 10:38.
I praise You Heavenly Father that You have given me authority to dispatch ministering angels to work on my behalf and behalf of my household, as heirs of salvation, therefore, I say ministering spirits, I loose you in the name of Jesus to minister on my behalf according to the will of God, Heb. 1:13-14. I pray for the strong angel, one with might to overcome. The angel that is stronger than rulers of darkness and principalities assigned to my territory which includes my body and home. I pray for the strong angel to come loud against the powers that have tried to hold me back. I also loose warring, prosperity, property, turn around, restoration angels and other types of heavenly angelic forces unknown to me to do according to the will of God for my life and my loved ones in Jesus’ name.
Thank You that the following promises were released on my behalf and behalf of my love ones when we received Jesus as our Lord and Savior: righteousness, joy, peace, balance, the favor of God, restoration, comfort, influence, respect, Your love, the fear of the Lord, self control, breakthroughs, health, wealth, land, property, hope, double portions, honor, liberty, miracles, patience, humility, strategies, ideas, gentleness, kindness, goodness, God’s Glory, holiness, boldness, divine connections, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, discernment, a sound mind, a supernatural memory, revelation, healing, deliverance, salvation, faith, faithfulness, prosperity, godly relationships, the spirit of Ehud which is sent to deliver me from excessive tax and oppression, finances in the abundance of millions and billions of dollars and resources that have been demonically blocked are now released unto me and all those in my household, church family and church leaders in the Body of Christ in agreement with what I have decreed, declared to come forth. I shall possess double for my trouble (Isa. 61:7) in Jesus’ Holy name, Ps 118:25; Ps 35:27; Isa 61:9.
I am making a demand and instructing my seed as well as commanding ‘The Blessing’ that belongs to me to come forth now, you have no choice but to come to me now. I am standing on James 5:4 which says, that my cries as a harvester have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts. I am blessed, wealthy, healthy, prosperous, joyful and preserved. I receive now and apply all to my life, my household, my ministry, my work place and/or businesses.
Father I thank You as I decree and declare that the Blood of Jesus draws a bloodline according to Your Word in Romans 5:9; 17 over myself; my spouse; my immediate family; my extended family; my spiritual family; friends; church family; marriages and godly families, anointed men and women of God; the Kingdom of God; Godly world leaders; America and the White House; Israel and Jerusalem; Godly judges in America; our military men and women; Israel’s armed forces and other allies with America; California; the godly homeless; the remnant of God; Christian corporations and businesses are all covered under the Blood of Jesus. I also declare that all of us have on the Whole Armor of God in Jesus’ name, Eph. 6:12-18; Ps 91; Ro 5:9; I John 1:7.
Using Authority For Backlash Prevention
"The enemy does not stop his maneuvers to interfere with the will of God just because we have experienced a victory. He is stubborn in his pursuit to stop the plan of God." Just as a snake, a serpent will recoil and try to strike a target he considers as his enemy, Satan will do the same thing in spiritual warfare. "Many times, in spiritual battle, he will recoil and try to strike again after God's people have secured a victory."
"Seasoned intercessors are aware of these tactics and have learned ways to prevent many of these attacks." You may need to increase your base of intercession with each increase in your ministry or business.
(1) Faithfully follow-up with prayer after a victory in your life. Prayer is not only needed to bring God's plan into your life but to maintain it because you have an enemy that fights God's plan for your life. Praying after a victorious event is usually the time we need to pay the most. Bind, resist and block revenge, retaliation, retribution, and transference of spirits.
(2) Remember to inquire of the Lord each step of the way. Even though you have inquired of the Lord in the past, you must also inquire of the Lord with each new step. "The strategy for one battle may not be the strategy for the next battle."
(3) Guard your heart because after a hard battle, it is easy to let anger, bitterness or even pride in. Deception can get in with hurt and bitterness.
(4) Maintain divine connections in your life. If the enemy can get to you through "troubles" and have you detach yourself from the Body of Christ, especially mentors or spiritual leaders God has given you, the enemy will try to destroy you. When we are joined with other believers, there is an exponential increase in power. "The enemy wants you isolated. Isolation leaves a person vulnerable to further attacks from the enemy. The Bible calls the Church an army. An army does not consist of a single soldier, but of many soldiers joined together."
(5) "Another principle to prevent backlash is to be sure that you are accountable to spiritual authority. Accountability is not a place of bondage but a place of freedom." Because of your spiritual relationship with others, they have a right to speak into your life which will help you defeat the enemy. "Accountability is a blessing from the Lord." "Jesus promised to build His Church and said that the enemy would not be able to resist this Church, Matt. 16:18."
NIGHT WATCHES
THE JEWS SET UP THREE (3) NIGHT WATCHES:
FIRST WATCH: 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Beginning of the watches; first in time, place and rank. Most easily shaken; apostolic watch. Time people lifted their hands to the Lord for the lives of their children. Time that darkness could be easily shaken, Lam 2:19. Watch as well as pray Luke 21:36 (keep awake and watch).
SECOND OR MIDDLE WATCH: 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
Strategy; womb of the watch; central watch that everything else was built around; also the watch that evil seed was planted against the righteous. Midnight warfare watch; all of the watches belong to God, and the ones who do evil work it in vain because your prayer will cause what they are doing to be shaken to the ground at sunrise, Judges 7:19.
THIRD OR MORNING WATCH: 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Last watch; the watch we gain victory over enemies in the morning. Refers to breaking of the day, plow break through, seek out. This is the fruit of the morning watch. When faithful and dedicated, you can expect victory over your enemies every time, Exo. 14:24; I Samuel 11:11.
THE ROMANS CHANGED IT TO FOUR NIGHT WATCHES:
- 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. – First Watch
- 9:00 p.m. to midnight - Second or Middle Watch
- Midnight to 3:00 a.m. – Third or Middle Watch
- 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. – Fourth or Morning Watch
