Prayers That Break Curses: Prayers for Breaking Demonic Influences so You Can Walk in God's Promises

Rate this book
Is your life characterized by continual setbacks and misfortune? Does it appear as though no matter what you do, you cannot seem to obtain the blessings of the Lord? You could be living under a curse.  Unfortunately, there are still many believers living under curses even though they have been legally redeemed. Just as a believer may have to fight a good fight of faith for healing, he or she may also have to fight a good fight of faith against curses. Satan may not have a legal right to enforce a curse against you, but he is an outlaw and will attempt to do so anyway. Therefore, curses oftentimes have to be broken, and you must learn how to stand in faith against those curses, keeping them from operating in your life. The promises God gives us in the Bible are not automatic. They must be believed and often fought for. You don’t have to fight God for His promises; He is not keeping them back from you. But you must contend with the Adversary who is trying to prevent you from receiving and walking in God’s promises.  Written in the style of Prayers That Rout Demons, this second book in the series contains information about curses and sentence declaratory prayers to break the power of curses from your life.

This particular book written by Pastor Eckardt has really been God sent. I've read and applied many of these prayers to my daily life. God has moved on my behalf over and over again. I've also noticed that I feel more free and less stressed when praying against demonic influences in areas of my life where I needed deliverance.

Overall a good read!

After reading this book, I have realized that I must dig deeper into understanding the word. Overall, the book gave me some ideas of how curses are spiritual strongholds that keep a person in bondages. Moreover, I really do like how the author gives examples of how he would pray to the Lord for help in eliminating strong holds.

This book is different from the kind I usually read but I did find it very interesting. There are things mentioned in the Old Testament that a lot of modern bible teachers do not even try to understand. I feel like this book makes an effort to try with a few of those Old Testament passages. It was interesting and I am glad that I took the time to read it.

"PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE

Father, in Jesus's name, I loose myself from all relationships that are not ordained of God; all relationships that are not of the Spirit but of the flesh; all relationships based on control, domination, or manipulation; and all relationships based on lust and deception.
In the name of Jesus, I loose all members of my body, including my mind, memory, eyes, ears, tongue, hands, feet, and my entire sexual character, from all lust, perversion, sexual impurity, uncleanness, lasciviousness, promiscuity, pornography, fornication, homosexuality, fantasy, filthiness, burning passion, and uncontrollable sex drive.
I loose myself from the effects of all bad memories, painful memories, and memories of the past that would hinder me in the present or future.
I loose myself from all occult involvement, all sorcery, divination, witchcraft, psychic inheritance, rebellion, all confusion, sickness, death, and destruction as a result of occult involvement.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the authority given to me to bind and loose. I loose my emotions from every evil spirit that has come in as a result of experiences of the past. I loose myself from all hurt, deep hurt, pain, sadness, grief, anger, hatred, rage, bitterness, fear, and bound and blocked emotions. I command these spirits to come out, and I decree freedom to my emotions in the name of Jesus.
I loose my mind from all spirits of mind control, confusion, mental bondage, insanity, madness, fantasy, passivity, intellectualism, knowledge block, ignorance, mind binding, lust, and evil thinking. I loose myself from all guilt, shame, condemnation, self-condemnation, and legalism.
I loose my will from all control domination and manipulation from Satan, his demons, and other people. I loose my will from all lust, rebellion, stubbornness, pride, self-will, selfishness, and antisubmissive spirits that block and hinder my will. I break and loose myself from all chains around my will, and I submit my will to the will of God."
(John Eckhardt, Prayers That Break Curses: Prayers for Breaking Demonic Influences so You Can Walk in God's Promises, Page 116)

The above prayer is taken from Chapter 11 of this book entitled Loose Yourself from Belial's Curses. The author talks a lot about Belial in this book. I was not too familiar with Belial, until I read this book. I didn't realize how often God referred to Belial. Just what is Belial? The author says Belial is:

* "one of the most wicked and vile spirits in the kingdom of darkness"
* "He is a ruling spirit of wickedness"
* "There are a host of demons that operate under his command, cursing the lives of people"
* "Belial's work is to curse men and women, causing them to commit sins that are vile and contemptable." (See page 1 and 2 of the book for a further description of this spirit)

There are prayers throughout this book that are geared to breaking curses. The above prayer for me was the most powerful. I felt the anointing descend as I was praying this prayer.

If you want some teaching and prayers on self-deliverance then you should read this book.

BREAK THE CURSES OFF YOUR LIFE AND BE FREE in Jesus Name.
