Happy Feast of Saint Benedict!

I was introduced to the concept of deliverance in 2018 by someone who is connected to today’s Saint.

Deliverance is a broad term that can mean being freed from any problem of a spiritual nature or cause. (The St. Paul Center)

In this post I’ll share a Short-Form Deliverance Prayer.

I’ve been saying this prayer daily for the past six years.

In a future post I’ll share a description of deliverance and a virtual resource.

Note: This prayer is meant for lay people. Lay people should NEVER say prayers that are meant for exorcists, priests or deacons

Short-Form Deliverance Prayer

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His Cross, His Blood and His resurrection, I bind you satan, the spirits, powers and forces of darkness, the nether world, and the evil forces of nature. I take authority over all curses, hexes, demonic activity, and spells directed against me, my relationships, ministry, air space, finances, and the work of my hands; and I break them by the power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. I bind all demonic interactions, interplay and communications between spirits sent against me, and send them directly to Jesus Christ for Him to deal with as He wills. I ask forgiveness for, and denounce all negative inner vows that I have made with the enemy, and ask that Jesus Christ release me from these vows and from any bondage they have held in me. I ask Jesus, the Son of the living God, to pour His shed Blood over every aspect of my life for my protection. I pray all these things in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
