????Prayer to overcome evil in the home
Have you ever sensed the presence of evil in your home? You and your household always want to argue or fight, for no reason? Having continuous nightmares? You are happy at work, but always angry at home? Feeling suicidal at home? There might be an outside force influencing this behaviour. Sometimes we may even sense something is off.
Jesus gave what has become known as the parable of the empty house:
Matthew 12:43-45 ‘When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, “I will return to the house I left.” When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.’
Fill your home with the love of God, with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Fill your home with the praise of God and the songs of worship.
Fill yourself with the peace of God and demonstrate His love in your daily life. Don’t open doors for evil to come, through sin.
Life is more spiritual than it is physical. Everything you are doing is inspired either by the Holy Spirit or by an evil spirit. Before you start cursing, think of who has inspired you to do so. So you don’t want to drive out evil from the home while allowing an evil spirit to use your mouth to curse.
To successfully pray this prayer, you need to be at home. Position your heart for spiritual warfare. Try and make peace with your family if you feel wronged. Forgive. That is where power lies.
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Let us Pray
Oh Lord Jesus, I give You praise. I lift the banner of Your name and I proclaim You are God Most High. You are high and lifted up. For God has highly exalted Jesus and given Him the name which is above every name, of those in heaven, of those on earth and of those under the earth.
And there is no other name given for the salvation of mankind, apart from the name of JESUS. That at the NAME of Jesus, every knee including mine shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that You are the LORD. Oh JESUS, I adore You. You are holy, gracious and kind. Be You glorified, my God!
Oh Lord, create in me a clean heart. Renew within me a steadfast spirit. Take not Your Holy Spirit from me. As I begin to pray, I let go of my pain, hurts and disappointments. Any unforgiveness, hatred, malice and bitterness that might hinder my prayer, I surrender it to You my God. I let go, as I let You move in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, every evil presence in my home, let it catch fire and flee in the NAME of Jesus Christ. Whatever strange presence in and over this place, be removed in the mighty NAME of Jesus Christ.
Every spirit causing arguments, fights, suicidal thoughts or nightmares, Holy Ghost fire in the name of Jesus Christ! I dedicate THIS house to the Lord Jesus Christ and everyone in it. Therefore, every spirit that was here legally, you are now illegal in the name of Jesus Christ. The foundation of this house is sanctified by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, assign your angels charge over our home in the name of Jesus Christ. Let your light illuminate this place and everyone living here in the name of Jesus Christ. Light of God, you are the light that cannot be overcome by darkness, shine over this place in the name of the Lord Jesus! Let no darkness have its place here, in the name of Jesus Christ.
It is written that the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. Holy Spirit of God, search and screen this house completely! Expose any evil objects! Expose any spirits which are not of God, and let your fire burn them in the name of Jesus.
I declare and decree that this house belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our belongings and possessions belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. The presence of God fills this place.
The light of God is upon our house and its inhabitants, in the name of Jesus Christ!
From today, there shall be no more evil spirits, evil presences, nightmares, fights and demonic arguments in the name of Jesus Christ.
The peace of God rests upon this house. We are of one mind and we walk in love and understanding in the name of Jesus Christ. The angels of God are here with us, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
