SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Firstly, counselling if possible with the person is important  -  Check they have a spiritually clean house. Deuteronomy 7:26 (get rid of New Age books, Rock and Roll records, idols, etc.)
Deu 7:25  The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 
Deu 7:26  Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

•	List their problems and talk briefly with them about the battle for the mind, unforgiveness, bitterness, the eight weapons of Spiritual Warfare. See Warfare Manual.

•	Give Prayer of Commitment to look over. See Spiritual Warfare Manual

FORMAT

•	Short Prayer for Bible reading

•	Bible Texts you can read for encouragement eg.  John 14:14,  Matthew 18:19, 20

John 14:14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 
Matt 18:18  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.  18:19  Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.  18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 

•	Kneel  –  Pray for:- 
•	Holy Spirit to control everything.
•	Pray for the holy Angels to protect all present and to fight any battle till it is finished. 
•	Pray for Victory and Freedom for the person. 
o	Luke 4:18  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
•	Pray that family members of those present be protected. 
•	The Armour of God. Ephesians 6:13
•	The Blood of Christ to cover everyone in the room. 
•	Bind any powers of darkness.
•	Any evil spirits that have no right to be in the room to go.
•	Bind up the mouth of Satan and any evil angels that come around to issue orders.
•	Protection from any demonic deception or lies -  (This point is very important)
•	    Take authority over the powers of darkness   

Luke 10:17  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 
Luk 10:18  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 
Luk 10:19  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. Luk 10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 

	NEXT
•	Sit down   -   Person reads Prayer of Commitment.

•	Go through problems and ask:-   If there are any powers of darkness causing …………..I/we command you to come forward and Go.

•	If there is reaction, you rebuke in Jesus Christ’s name and cast it/them out to the pit. 
•	A good text to quote here is Matthew 8:32. You say, It is written, “And he said unto them, Go.”

•	If impressed by the Holy Spirit you may need to ask one or more of the following questions pertinent to the persons freedom only:-
•	What is Your Name?  
•	When did you come in? How did you get in?
•	What is your assignment? What have you been doing to this person?
•	What legal right do you have to be interfering in this person’s life?

•	Some statements you may be impressed to use when dealing with the powers of darkness:-  Release all holds, I/we take back the ground,  Enter him/her no more.
•	Pray for the opposite in the persons life to fill the vacuum.

NOTE:- Remember that in many cases a person is not possessed, yet a reaction of some sort may take place.  Once again you simply command it/them to go in Jesus Christ’s name.

2Cor 2:11  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
