Jesus Christ

Have you ever need prayers?  Those types of prayers for deliverance, healing, or discernment.  The kind that need to heal the wounds and hurt inside of your heart.

You may want to look to visit the Intercessors of the Lamb. They list themselves as  a Roman Catholic community of Priests, Brothers, Sisters and Laity in full obedience to the Holy Father and to the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church.

It doesn’t sound like anything out of the ordinary; however, with a closer look spiritual warfare, healing, and spiritual direction are part of their core mission.  Read more about their history.

Why are they listed as a Catholic Tool?

I thought you would never ask.  Because they have incredible prayer and formation tools for any parish, youth group, young adult group, or retreat program.

• 25 Week Family Formation
• Teaching on Faith
• Talks on Spiritual Insights
• Prayer Request
• Start a Prayer Group

Need Spiritual Direction

Is your group or organization at a crossroads?  Are you experiencing gifts of the Holy Spirit?  This community is ideal for helping with both of those situations.  I have heard plenty of good priest and friends give excellent reports about their spirituality.  Yes, they are charismatic and Marian.

The Brown Scapular

Take a look at any parish in America or across the sea and we see people facing spiritual attacks everyday.  Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance Prayers, and Exorcisms are a huge search on Catholic Tools.  That indicates to me, people are searching for answers to combat evil.

I have seen with my own eyes and heard countless stories of the protection the Blessed Mother gives to those who have a devotion to her.  Especially the devotion to the brown scapular.

Enroll Your Entire Parish in The Brown Scapular

Our Lady gave the Brown Scapular to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251. She promised that those who wear it would gain salvation, protection, and peace.  In a dream the Blessed Mother appeared to Pope John XXII and said,

“I, the Mother of Grace, shall descend on the Saturday after their death and whomsoever I shall find in Purgatory, I shall free, so that I may lead them to the holy mountain of life everlasting.”

Plan for Enrollment

1. Order Scapulars Online or from a local Carmelite order
2. Teach about the Scapular through bulletin inserts
3. Preach About Benefits and Devotion to Mary
4. Enroll Parishioners After All Sunday Masses
5. Enroll School Children, too.

On the last public apparition in Fatima, Our Lady appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel with her hand extended holding the scapular.  She desires all to be Consecrated to Her Immaculate heart and benefit from her Heavenly Protection.

Pray

Jesus Christ a King of Glory has come in Peace. † God became man, † and the Word was made flesh. † Christ was born of a Virgin. † Christ suffered. † Christ was crucified. † Christ died. † Christ rose from the dead. † Christ ascended into Heaven. † Christ conquers. † Christ reigns. † Christ orders. † May Christ protect us from all storms and lightning † Christ went through their midst in Peace, † and the word was made flesh. † Christ is with us with Mary. † Flee you enemy spirits because the Lion of the Generation of Judah, the Root David, has won.

† Holy God! † Holy Powerful God! † Holy Immortal God! † Have mercy on us. Amen!

Deliverance Prayer

I put together a small list of books which I found extremely interesting and worthwhile.  The authors are solid and clearly explain deliverance prayer in the Catholic tradition.  They are a must for any spiritual warrior.  Each book is easy to read and does not require any previous reading experience.

Tell me what you think.

Jesus Christ

This may sound outlandish or even like you might not have any authority to say these words.  But these simple words are extremely powerful.

For example how many times have you received communion and never felt like anything happened.  If we truly knew what we are receiving than how much greater would we prepare for Mass and how much more would that Mass effect our life.  In the same sense just because these words might not elicit a big theatrical scene, they still wage war against the Devil.
All Christians have the authority to bind evil spirits in Christ’s name (Mk, 16:17).  Binding an evil spirit is using the Authority of Jesus Christ and His power to make the evil spirit stop what ever it is doing and not to make any further progress.  It is silencing the spirit.  Rebuking is taking authority over the evil spirit and stopping it, too.

When you command in the name of Jesus Christ you are telling the spirit to be disposed of by Jesus.  One is not doing any of this with their own power, but the power of Jesus Christ.

This prayer could be said everyday.

Evil spirit, I bind you in the Name of Jesus Christ, and command you to go to the foot of the cross.

These prayers can be said silently, in a soft voice, or out loud.  Many times it is good to begin silently if you suspect something so as not to startle the person.  They should be said when you walk into new areas, your homes, places of business, silently over everyone you meet in all situations.

This “Spiritual Warfare Prayer” could be said everyday protecting yourself, or said over someone.

Vatican

Lord Jesus, I ask you today to cover Me and my family, the whole world, especially our military and our priest, with your precious blood and protection.  Uncover any hidden plot of the enemy before it has a chance to take root or effect or do any harm.  Alert us to any hidden plots against us and provide in advance a peaceful solution to any damage the enemy tries to do.  Bind and make mute any evil spirits that try to manifest or attach themselves to us in any way.  We ask you to please hide from the enemy the personal plans and ministries you have for us, so he has no access or knowledge of them. Let no weapon formed against us be able to prosper.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke any curses, hexes or spells sent against us.  I bind all interplay, interaction and communication of evil spirits, and I claim the protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ on_________.  I ask you , Lord, to please send St. Michael, the Archangel, to drive out all the evil spirits who roam the earth and give St. Michael the authority to send all evil spirits straight to the recesses of hell, where they will remain forever.

Lord Jesus, I also ask you to please let the waters of our baptism flow back through our bloodlines to cleanse us of any evil or unwanted tendencies or traits that we may have inherited from our ancestors.   And lastly, Lord, I ask you to please bless my enemies by sending your Holy Spirit to lead them to repentance and conversion.

We thank you, Lord, and we praise you.  Lord, for your boundless mercy and protection. Amen.

The Last Supper

I had a friend who went to EWTN in the summer to a conference for Priest lead by the Alliance of the Two Hearts. The conference was called the AHFI International Clergy Retreat.

The theme was “Relevance of Deliverance and Exorcism in Spiritual Direction.”

He said it was an incredible orthodox, holy experience of priest speaking about fighting the devil in the name of Jesus Christ.

I heard audio recordings of the conference and was amazed at the speakers intelligence and love for Jesus and Mary.

Fr. Edgardo “Bing” Arellano, Spiritual Director of the Alliance of the Holy Family, Inc has a series of videos on youtube which are very helpful in the areas of Deliverance Prayer and Exorcism.

Let me know what you think?

Here are a couple of other articles I have posted on deliverance prayer.  I like to use the word deliverance prayer rather than exorcism or minor exorcism because it is more correct.  These all fall under spiritual warfare.

Prayer of Protection for Spiritual Warfare

Jesus Christ

Wearing the armor of God is extremely important in prayer ministries.  Pray this prayer every morning asking the Lord to protect you.  In addition it should also be prayed before a prayer group meeting, praying over someone, or when the promoting of the Spirit is felt.

Ephesians, 6:11-17
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.  For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spits in the heavens.  Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your group.  So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shood in readiness for the gospel of peace.  In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.

And may the glory of the Lord be our rear guard.

Now the Lord has placed on you a brilliant suite of armor.

O Holy St. Joseph, Foster Father of the Savior of the world! It was your obedience to the message of an angel in the middle of a dark night in Palestine that caused you to take action at a critical moment to save the life of the Christ Child. Your quick action made it possible for us all to “have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10).

Hear our prayer now as we intercede with you for a new class of innocents, the unborn children, who will be sacrificed needlessly and cruelly by abortion. Please save them from harm. Please give us strength of soul and firm conviction to turn away from all forms of sin and to treasure the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural death.

O St. Joseph, protector of the Innocents, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Holy Mother Mary, intercede for us!

Amen.

A child’s inheritance is very important to them.  Parents can pass down to their children money, culture, values, traditions, and even the “sins of the father. (Numbers 14:18)”  If our ancestors have been involved in demonic activity, Masonic practices, habitual sins, or other negativity these have opened the door to the evil one and may be the cause of one’s problems today.  Instead of running away from Christ as the healer and seeking his guidance society has turned strictly to psychology and medicine.
“If there is a problem in your family, go into prayer and discern it.  Nothing is as strong as the Eucharist, and we should plead the Blood of Jesus over every aspect of our ancestry — as well as future generations.  According to one expert, Father John Hampsch, the first thing we have to do is recognize our problems, repent of all failures, confess our sins (and by proxy those of previous generations), forgive all members of our families, pray for deliverance, and place the Cross of Jesus between all generations.  It doesn’t hurt to have Masses said for all relatives, past,  and present.  “When the fallen angels are evicted”, writes Father Hampsch, “invite the holy angels to stand guard over the restored family.”17

Deliverance Prayer

“Heavenly Father, creator of heaven and earth, I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, your Son. 

I come as a sinner seeking forgiveness and cleansing from all sins committed against you, and others created in your image. 

I honor my earthly father and mother, and all my ancestors of flesh and blood, adoptive or step parents, but I utterly turn away from and renounce all their ungodly practices, sins and iniquities. 

I forgive all my ancestors for the effects of their sins on me and my children.

Thank you, Father, for sending your only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to die in my place; to pay the penalty for my sins through His shed blood, and to bear the punishment for the sins and iniquities of my ancestors in His bruised and bleeding body on the Cross of Calvary.

Thank you that He is my Holy Scapegoat. 

I choose now, to confess and take accountability for the sins through my family bloodlines back to the fourth generation, and to the tenth generation for sexual sins, known and unknown. 

I confess and renounce all idolatry, known and unknown, also all involvement with occult power and looking into the hidden things of darkness by my family and ancestors.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I now break and renounce all blood oaths, blood covenants, blood dedications, blood ties and all blood bondages to Satan and any other false gods by my family and myself. 

I also cancel all ungodly documents, agreements and assignments against me and my family, past, present and future, and I apply the blood of Jesus Christ to cancel them.

I declare their penalty has been paid in full by Jesus at Calvary. 

I confess all ungodly behavior, spoken words, thoughts and negative emotions that have had an ill-effect on my family bloodlines, on my marriage and other relationships. 

I repent of all word curses spoken over or to others.

I release each person from any offense caused, and release my rights to revenge, for the Word of God says that revenge is the Lord’s only. 

I confess the operation of rejection in my family bloodlines in every form, especially that which is now affecting me, my marriage and my family. 

I confess any addictions in my family bloodlines, known or unknown.

I renounce the effects of any untimely death, and any effects of war in my family bloodlines. I give to the Lord Jesus Christ all unresolved grief from these deaths, and from death of expectations.

I ask you, Lord Jesus, to release me from the consequences of all unresolved grief and disappointments attached to the death of expectations. 

I renounce all areas of false guilt and false responsibility in my family bloodlines. 

I confess and renounce all religious restrictions, and perversion of the Gospel in my family bloodlines, either from a Christian denomination or church, from a different religion, faith or tradition, or from cultic involvement.

I renounce any hereditary illness, whether physical, emotional or mental, and any other weakness in my family bloodlines. 

I confess and ask forgiveness for any failure by myself and my ancestors for stealing from God by not bringing to Him our tithes and offerings as His Word commands. This has permitted the Devourer to plunder my family’s wealth. I confess this grievous sin and I repent and ask your forgiveness now.

I choose now to be generous, so I break the curse and spirit of poverty off my life now, in the name of Jesus Christ. 

I rebuke every related spirit, including greed, covetnessness, stinginess, and self-reliance; and I command all such spirits to leave me now harmlessly on my natural breathing, and to go to your appointed place of judgment and not to return to me or my family, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I confess, repent and renounce any and all adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality or bestiality which has been practiced by myself or my family bloodlines. 

In the name of Jesus Christ, I now cut off all the effects of these sins, known and unknown, including all ungodly soulties, and I break every curse involved, in Jesus’ name.

I also bind every spirit which empowered these curses and ungodly soulties, and I command you all to leave me now, and go to your place of appointment to await your judgment in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Father God, I come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, confessing these sins and weaknesses which may affect me. 

I release my ancestors into the freedom of my forgiveness.

No longer will I blame them for how I am. 

I now lay the punishment and inherited weaknesses on the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my scapegoat; on His bruised and bleeding body on the cross. I receive your forgiveness and release from their effects.

Thank you, my Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that I can cast my burdens on YOU. 

Please heal me, renew me and lead me in your ways, that my life may bring glory to your name. 

Amen.
