Binding and Casting

Heavenly Father, we come before You in praise, in worship, and in adoration. Please open our eyes and hearts that we may see Your greatness, Your majesty, and Your victory on our behalf. We proclaim Jesus Christ, Lord of all adventures, circumstances, and difficulties of today. By the mighty and holy name of Your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we take authority over all evil spirits lurking in our midst, in the air, in the water, over and under the ground and in all places. Lord, we also ask You to cast out any evil spirit who may want to harm us, of inflict pain or injury to our person or cause accidents and untoward incidents. We bind and reject all spirits of confusion, disbelief, disobedience, division, disruption, and all spirits of fear, worry, anger, and resentment. We forbid them and cast them at the foot of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ that they may be gone forever and henceforth be rendered useless. And we seal this place and all members of our families, relatives, and possessions by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In-filling / prevention of backlash

Lord Jesus, we ask today for an in-filling and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Cast away from our hearts, hatred, bitterness, pride, doubts, fears, unforgiveness, and illnesses. Please fill all the empty spaces within us with Your love, peace, healing, joy, humility, faith, hope, forgiveness, health, and strength. Heavenly Father, please do not allow the evil ones to return in any form or manner to inflict harm or injury towards us and our love ones now and always.
