1 We are made up of three parts; spirit, soul and body. Once we are born-again demons cannot touch or inhabit our spirit as our spirit belongs to God and is the breath of God. When we are first born-again, our spirit man comes alive. We know we are different. Any demonic spirits or wounds in our spirit get healed upon receiving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit then does a work and sanctifies our souls. The ultimate result is when the Holy Spirit is in our entire spirit, soul and physical body and where are walking in the Glory. The soul is sometimes referred to as our heart which comprises our mind, will, and emotions. This area can be demonized. The Bible refers to the heart of man as the most wicked. Lastly is our physical bodies - the physical part of us, which can also be demonized. There is always a strongman (Head demon) with many demons under His authority. The Bible says in Mark 3:27 that we must first bind the strongman before we can spoil his goods. As a team we went on a crusade for nearly two years to remove the strongman and as many demons as we could per client. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that this was a bit like chasing our own tails and going around in circles. We as fallen men and woman are sinful in nature so this gives demons legal 1 / 12

2 rights to us, trying to remove all demons was proving to be a momentous task. The Holy Spirit soon directed us to addressing the core issues that were hindering people and ask for the roots, the origins and source of those issues to achieve healing, and anything else that God wanted to address so that the client could become more Christ-like and continue on in the God ordained path. When receiving revelation the Holy Spirit will reveal any wounds, sins, inherited sins, curses and generational curses that have enabled demons access. It is the sin itself, whether it is our sin (or someone sinning against us), which creates the wounds in our soul which then enables demon access. Demons live in our wounds, keeping them open and sore. There can be many legal authorities attached to just one demon, so when there are multiple demons there are a lot of legal holds that need to be revealed and broken. A demon's legal rights can be very complex. God can choose to deliver you in any way He chooses which can be instantaneous or through a process, much like the peeling of an onion - one layer at a time. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7, NKJV). When we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master He can decide how and when to deal with the demonic strongholds in our life through revelation from the Holy Spirit. This is an out-working process, " Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose" (Philippians 2:12-13, NIV). To become demonized the Lord showed me that some demons are assigned to us the moment we are born, from the generational curse line, as is mentioned in the Bible: "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children s children to the third and the fourth generation" (Exodus 34:7, NKJV). The Lord also revealed to me how the punishment crescendo works from the generational curse line. See: Generational Curses. If an ancestor committed murder, a spirit of murder has a legal right to be with us the day we are born. As we grow this spirit will try to convince us to commit the same act. If unable to convince us to do that, it will open the door for hate, unforgiveness and anger. 'Hate is as murder'. The moment we enter into hatred, that spirit too will enter us. To remove that spirit of murder we may need to address all entry points, even repenting of the original sin that allowed it access to us in the first place. Rejection is a spirit that can enter us in the womb if our paternal mother or father rejected the pregnancy in any way. Every iniquity committed from our parents, grandparents and ancestors before we we made Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour gives 2 / 12

3 demons a legal right to us also. They then try to tempt and coerce us into more sin. Many sins committed from our ancestors also generate curses coming into effect, like inherited sickness or poverty. The moment there are any wounds formed in our soul created from our own sin or others sinning against us, demons have an internal entry point, especially if there is unforgiveness attached to any wounds and traumas. There can be multitudes of demons harassing us from the ancestral curse lines. We can break these curse-lines once the sins have been confessed and brought under the blood. But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land (Leviticus 26:40-42, NKJV). You may say at this point that all curses are broken at the cross. As far as God is concerned the work is done. Jesus has offered His life for our life. All we need to do is take it by submitting our spirits/souls, bodies, and entire lives to Jesus. It is a swap. There is an exchange that happens at the cross. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it (Matthew 10:39, NKJV). This is harder than we think. There are many areas in our lives that we want to hold on to. We cling to these areas and stubbornly refuse God access to them. Sometimes we may think we are yielding them, but God sees our heart and knows when we are not. This poses a problem! Any area not submitted to God is not brought under the Blood of Christ. This means it stays in the hands of the devil. The devil has legal rights over these areas. We may need repentance, deliverance and healing in those areas before we can let them go and accept Christ into them. All unyeilded areas are still seen as sin and need to be confessed and sanctified by using the name and power of Jesus Christ. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 NKJV). Any demon who harasses us because of the generational curse, whether it has caused us to enter into the same sin or not, may still need to be removed in the name of Jesus Christ. Accord ing to Deuteronomy 28:45-46 curses are upon us forever. Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever" (NKJV). When He says forever we must assume He means it. The curse remains on us forever until we take it to the cross and use the keys God has given us to deal with it. Some people can get set free from a multitude of things the very day they are saved, this is because all things are in accordance with the riches of Gods Grace (Ephesians 1:7) 3 / 12

4 or we may need to use the many strategies that God has supplied us with. Each case is unique and different. Interestingly, one of our team members can see demons in the natural so watches them leaving the people we are ministering to. One day I commanded all the demons of inheritance from the generational curse lines to leave once they were broken by the Lord and she saw a multitude of demons leaving the person. Many deliverance ministries break the curse lines, but forget to command the demons of inheritance to leave, so even though the demons have lost their legal right they are rebellious and stay because no one addressed them and actually cast them out in the name of Jesus Christ. The Lord has taught us how demons work which I will try to convey in this article. I will use the spirit of Jezebel as an example. Jezebel is a very complex and destructive demon and we have found approximately 1 in 3 women who come through our Team Deliverance Ministry have the Jezebel spirit. Jezebel has many attributing functions that operate, which are fear-based, anger-based, sex-based, martyr-based, pleaser-based, control and manipulation, and is always rooted in witchcraft. Witchcraft will bring in rebellion, death and destruction. If Jezebel is present all of these functions will operate, some strongly and some subtly. The Jezebel spirit will begin with tempting us and harassing us with the attributes that pertain to them, ie., fear, and when we succumb to fear, a hook of Jezebel can live internally in our soul, or physical body, until the light of Christ removes them. Jezebel will still be an external spirit but will now have an internal hook. Some of these internal hooks may have even been there from birth, again because of the generational curse line and any rejection or fear whilst in the womb. Then along comes anger, and again when we succumb this too will live alongside fear, then the next attribute, sex-based, which can enter us through promiscuous activity, lustful activities or through sexual abuse. Once all the functions of Jezebel are indwelling you, the Jezebel spirit can then take up legal residence within you. Jezebel is what we refer to as a high ranking spirit (principality) in charge of other minions within our body. Each individual spirit that enters will always entice you to perform more sinful acts so they can start inviting their cohorts to fill you up (like putting petrol in a car). With fear comes many other types of fear, fear of dying, fear of rejection, fear of failure and many more, with each one being a separate demon. The anger spirit will try to bring in rage, frustration, hatred, murder, bitterness, unforgiveness, etc. Each demon will simply try and bring in as many other demons as they can, they will build nests of demons within us. They will encourage you to take the wrong path; then traumas and accidents happen so they can infiltrate you more and more. There will be so many cracks and wounds in our hearts and souls we will eventually recognise the need for deliverance. The Holy Spirit will see your need to be free from either the predominant things that are hindering you (which could be fear and anger), or He may deliver you completely from the Jezebel spirit and any demons under its authority. He will decide what is needed for you and He knows the best route to proceed with. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28, NKJV). If He decides to deliver you from fear and anger (as that was the biggest hindrance to your 4 / 12

5 walk), this means that fear and anger are removed internally, but Jezebel will only become dislodged and not completely removed. Sex-based, martyr-based, witchcraft, control and manipulation are still operating within your soul, but Jezebel is losing its internal hold of fear and anger and at this point is attached to you externally oppressing (I received a vision much like an octopus with lots of tentacles hanging on). If God chooses this method it is because He wants the other attributes to reveal themselves. I have noticed with my own experiences if God wants to remove an attribute that is not pleasing to Him, He can bring that problem area to the surface by placing you in the very situations you normally want to avoid, so He can pinpoint it, reveal it and remove it. If God decides to completely deliver you from all of Jezebel's holds He will reveal the many legal authorities which can be broken during a session. Either way, you need to guard yourself against the powerful entities trying to return. Researching websites and finding out all you can about the demons that were revealed during a session can show you the weak areas in your life you need to guard against. With women who have a Jezebel spirit there is normally always an incessant need to control everything; normally it is a means of self-protection. The Lord revealed to me (as I was delivered from the Jezebel spirit) that in my relationship with my husband "I wore the pants". This was not pleasing to Him. The Lord revealed a curse to me over men and women that affects the whole dynamic between husband and wife. (See husband and wife prayer at the bottom of page). You will normally find too that the high ranking spirits run in families - they seem to be past down from generation to generation. I believe there will come a day when these spirits will be removed completely as you are delivered and then resist them; but they will try and hang around trying to claim back what they think is theirs (which unfortunately is our body). When we know we have 'messed up', it is as simple as coming back to the cross, repenting of any sins and commanding all demons on that sin to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. Many have asked me if you can ever be completely free from internal demons, these are the demons who mess with our emotions and bodies. I believe that this is absolutely possible, but it is an out-working process. The Holy Spirit wants to sanctify our spirits, souls and bodies and completely infill us with light and love throughout all these areas. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:23, NKJV). Once the Light of Christ has sanctified the spirit, soul and body with His truth and love we will be walking in the fullness of Christ. This is what is known as the Glory. How do we know when we are completely free? Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out 5 / 12

6 into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world (1 John 4:1-3, NKJV). I believe that we are still demonised if we are unable to confess and actually see that 'Jesus Christ is evident within our entire flesh' - the flesh of course being our carnal nature and physical bodies. If we are not reflecting that and manifesting all the fruits of the Holy Spirit all the time as Jesus was then we are still not completely free. The key here is to submit to God, resist the devil so he will flee. Demons will always try and tempt us, and if we allow temptation and enter into sin, demons have a legal right to dwell 'within' our physical bodies and souls. Whilst demons are still in us it is a lot harder to resist the temptations. These demons leave the internal doors open inviting others to re-enter. In our walk we need to constantly ask Jesus Christ to heal all soul wounds. When there are soul wounds, there are hurts and emotions that we react out of, which can allow the enemy access to us. When we feel hurt or wounded, we can react negatively out of our hurt, which then gives the demons legal grounds to harass us. After a deliverance session they will try to tempt you and harass you until you succumb so they can infiltrate you again. The key here is to be aware that your peace has been stolen so you can ask the Lord, 'Why'? You may need to repent of a specific sin that has opened the door again, then simply command the demons on that sin to leave in Jesus name. The more healing that comes through Jesus Christ, the less access the demons have over you. Jesus soul had no wounds formed by sin, therefore demons had no dominion over Him. This is the greatest transformation the Holy Spirit is outworking in us - He is transforming us into a new creation with no soul wounds so demons will have no dominion over us! Each deliverance you receive (as deliverance can be an ongoing process), brings you one step closer to your ultimate freedom and transformation. As each demon is removed the Holy Spirit fills the area the demon once inhabited. Eventually every demon will be removed and your whole spirit, soul and body will be full of light - the light of the Holy Spirit. Demons cannot dwell where there is light! Upon the removal of demons we are left with a fragmented, devastated soul. Sin and demons damage our souls. Whilst there are demons indwelling wounds, healing cannot happen, they must first be removed. Healing and deliverance go hand in hand. How do we achieve this healing? The word of God. Proclaiming what the Word of God says over our lives is the key. We need to renew our minds and heal our wounds with the Word. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions (Psalm 107:20, NKJV). The Word of God is the healing process. It is the healing and the renewing of the mind through the Word that brings the revelation and truth that brings the freedom! 6 / 12

7 What does this mean then for physical infirmities? God once showed me that healing first begins within, then the external manifestations follow. Our physical infirmities can be the direct result of an internal soul wound. We receive healings of our infirmities as we walk and fulfil the purpose and destiny we were created for - letting God prune us into the Christ-like creations He destined us to be, and trusting in His process. This means we can walk in the fulfilment of abundant health. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33, NKJV). If you have led a Christian life since a young age and have good Christian heritage, then demonization can be minimal, but if (like me) you gave your life to the Lord at an older age, then there can be more than one high ranking spirit operating within you. We have found from experience that Jezebel can operate alongside Leviathan, Anti-Christ, Astarte and many more. Abaddon can operate alongside Leviathan, Jezebel, Anti-Christ and others. We have even dealt with cases where there were five high-ranking spirits (principalites) working alongside each other, like an army with the strongman at the helm. Arm yourself with knowledge as this is our biggest weapon against the enemy. (See Keys to the Abundant life) Husband and Wife Prayer - The Lord has revealed to us that demons can have access to us because of the incorrect dynamic between husband and wife. The correct order/dynamic is when the husband and wife respect, love and honour one another as equals, and when the wife allows the husband to protect her as the weaker vessel. The Word of God tells us that man and woman are equal, they are both created in the image of God. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27, NKJV). The Bible tells us that man and woman when joined become one flesh, not two separate entities, so not one is greater than the other. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh (Genesis 2:24, NKJV). In the Garden of Eden Eve ate the forbidden fruit, then coerced Adam to do the same. This act created a curse to come upon man and woman. To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you (Genesis 3:16, NKJV). This poses a problem. Men and woman are cursed for man to rule over the woman. The Jezebel spirit coerced woman to rise up in 7 / 12

8 disobedience, to proclaim back equality, so in turn tried to rule over the husband. Disunity, chaos, bickering, and contention was borne. Having no respect in the home between mum and dad can enable children to learn from their parents example, in turn resulting in dishonour towards mum and dad. This in turn brings rebellion into the mix. The following scripture spoken by Paul has been misused by many as a means for the husband to continue to dominate the wife. Submission to Husbands: Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. A Word to Husbands: Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered (1 Peter 3: 1-7, NKJV). The word submit (hupotasso in Greek) means 'be subject to', to get under and lift up, or to put in order. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband (Ephesians 5:21-23, KJV). By this Scripture we see that husbands and wives are to submit to one another. Submit is better translated as identifying with and supporting one another in our God given roles. Husbands are not to rule over the wife, nor take power over her, it is about honouring and respecting each other s roles in the house and marriage. The wife is made as the weaker vessel and needs to allow the husband to protect and care for her and the family. He is her covering. He is the head of her and the family in the sense that He is responsible for the provision and well-being of His family. 8 / 12

9 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5:8, NKJV). The wife needs to honor and support him in this role of leadership. Many argue that because woman is made from man, he has dominance over her. This is incorrect. For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God (1 Corinthians 11:12, NKJV). This Scripture shows equality as the woman also gives birth to the man. Another scripture used for men to rule over the wife is: The head over every man is Christ, the head over woman is man and the head over Christ is God (1 Corinthians 11:3, NKJV). God's order is that the husband is the head of the wife as God is the head of Christ. Please note also the following two Scriptures. You have heard Me say to you, I am going away and coming back to you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, I am going to the Father, for My Father is greater than I' (John 14:28, NKJV). Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name (Philippians 2:5-9, NKJV). We know by Scripture that God and Jesus are equal, as Jesus is God in human form. Why then in John is Jesus saying that God the Father is greater than He? The word Head when taken back to the Greek means superiority. How is man superior to the woman when they are created equal, and how is God superior when God and Jesus are created equal. For when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:10, NKJV). The husband is physically stronger so protects the weaker vessel in the physical. Jesus also had weakness in His flesh as He humbled himself and became a man. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted (Luke 14:11, NKJV). He came in humility as a servant, to serve, but there is no inequality or inferiority between them. God and Christ are equal and united, just as the husband and the wife are one. I believe to have Christ as head over us, it implies a protective covering. Christ is our covering. The husband protects the wife and the family, as Christ protects them both. How can Christ protect a family when there is no unity between husband and wife. Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken 9 / 12

10 (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NKJV). God revealed to Mark and I that I did not submit to Mark as head over me because I did not trust him to keep our children safe from the dangers of the world. I came from a background of hurt, rejection and sexual abuse. I was over-protective toward the children. I smothered them and struggled to let them be 'kids'. Mark was the complete opposite. He came from a family of praying Christians and was not subjected to a world like me. It was as though he couldn't see danger in anything which in turn caused me to take on the role of double-protector. God told us that He was going to remove the burden of being sole-protector from me and in turn pass a bit of what I had to Mark to bring about a healthy balance. I had to forgive Mark for not protecting the children (to my standards) and he in turn had to forgive me for not seeing him as our protector because of my idiosyncracies. He told us to lay ourselves and everything that makes us tick as the foot of the cross. There were many other things that Mark and I did that were in complete opposition to one another which caused many a conflict. I was over-sensitive, Mark was mostly insensitive. I was emotional, Mark was emotionless. I was a big softie to the children in comparison to Mark who was very strict. Husband and Wife become one flesh when they marry. Unity is what God intended. God showed us that He was going to give us unity and an understanding of one another by removing, changing, re-giging and exchanging those things within us as a couple that were not yet perfected by Him which caused disunity. He was going to issue back what He wanted us to have with divine balance! Husbands and wifes also need to lay down their flesh and their drives and see each other as more important, just as Christ laid down his life for His bride. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself (Ephesians 5:24-28). Husbands and wives need to give authority of their own bodies over to one another. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does (1 Corinthians 7:4, NKJV). Prayer for Husband: (Husband) - Dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ I repent on behalf of myself and ancestors for the incorrect order between husband 10 / 12

11 and wife. I repent on behalf of Adam who allowed himself to be seduced by Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit. I repent for myself and every man in my bloodline who ruled over woman believing themselves to be superior. I repent also for not protecting woman as the weaker vessel, instead abusing and treating them with dishonour, contempt and lack of respect. I repent also for myself and all men in my bloodline for allowing woman to dominate and disrespect us. I lay down to You Lord Jesus my need to control. I lay all fleshly needs, desires and drives at the foot of the cross. I repent for putting these desires ahead of my wife. I ask You to help me see my wife as more important than my fleshly needs. I ask you (wife's name) to forgive me on behalf of myself and all men for not honouring you, or protecting you and the children as the weaker vessel, and for not fulfilling my duties as head of the house. (Wife) I forgive you. (Husband) - (Take wife's hand and say) - I honour you, cherish you, protect you and affirm you as my wife. I give you authority over my body in Jesus name and ask God to bless you". Prayer for Wife: (Wife) - Dear God, in the name of Jesus Christ I repent on behalf of myself and ancestors for the incorrect order of husband and wife. I repent on behalf of Eve who ate of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, then coerced Adam to do the same. I repent for all the woman in my bloodline, including myself for allowing ourselves to be dominated, disrespected and abused by men. I repent also for myself and all woman in my bloodline who tried to dominate and rule over men, as well as refusing to be seen as the weaker vessel and not allowing man to protect us and our children. I repent for dishonour, abuse and lack of respect shown to men. I lay down to You Lord Jesus my need to control. I lay all fleshly needs, desires and drives at the foot of the cross. I repent for putting these desires ahead of my husband. I ask You to help me see my husband as more important than my fleshly needs. I ask you (husband's name) to forgive me on behalf of myself and all woman for not respecting you and honouring you as you should have been. (Husband) I forgive you. (Wife) - I submit to you and acknowledge your protection, love and support as head over me and our family. I give you authority over my body in Jesus name and I ask God to bless you - Amen. (Husband and wife) - "We break the curse from Adam and Eve of man ruling over woman and declare that we are equal. We are both created in the image of Father Go d. Help us Lord Jesus to always show love, honour and respect to one another. We now hand the reins over to you Lord Jesus as head over us and our family. We lay at the foot of the cross 'ourselves' and everything else that makes us tick. We ask that You give back to us a divine 11 / 12

12 balance so that we can operate in unity as one flesh and as You intended. We ask that You bless this Holy union in Jesus name Amen. *If husband and wife still find they cannot agree on certain things, then submit it to the Lord and ask Him to show you the correct way! Binding couples together - This is a powerful prayer binding a couple together. You will need to get someone else to pray it over you. (PRAY) - In the name of Jesus Christ I want to tie a bond between you linking you spiritually this bond will withstand and not break easily. (A prophetic act) I bind you both together with spiritual ropes ropes of love, unity, peace and understanding. I break the chains of division and separation arguments, strife, anger and lies. I release love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. I impart an impenetrable love between you both that is like a fortress of protection and cannot be touched by the evil one. No arrow, no dart, no devil, person, or demon will ever divide, conquer or make this wall of love fall. A threefold cord is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12, KJV). By Tania Francis 12 / 12
