A Comprehensive Guide to Self-Deliverance


 

Breaking Free Through Repentance and Spiritual Warfare

Introduction

Self-deliverance is the process of breaking free from demonic oppression through repentance, renouncing sin, and commanding spirits to leave in the name of Jesus. Jesus gave believers the authority to cast out demons (Mark 16:17) and resist the devil (James 4:7). However, true deliverance requires deep repentance and a commitment to walk in obedience to God.

Step 1: Prepare Yourself for Deliverance

Before starting self-deliverance, take time to:
Pray and fast (if possible) – Mark 9:29
Read the Bible to strengthen your faith – Ephesians 6:10-18
Find a quiet place where you can pray aloud and focus
Have an open heart and be willing to surrender completely to God


Step 2: Identify and Repent of Open Doors to the Enemy

Demonic oppression often enters through unrepented sin or involvement in ungodly activities.

  • Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any hidden sins or generational curses – Psalm 139:23-24
  • Write down specific sins or struggles (e.g., anger, lust, unforgiveness, occult involvement, addictions, etc.)

📖 1 John 1:9“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Prayer of Repentance (Pray this aloud, being specific about your sins)

"Heavenly Father, I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. I confess and repent of my sins, both known and unknown. I acknowledge that my actions have separated me from You, and I ask for Your mercy. Specifically, I repent of [name each sin—e.g., anger, fornication, pornography, lying, witchcraft, bitterness, addiction, etc.]. I turn away from these sins and ask You to cleanse me by the blood of Jesus. Lord, create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10). Thank You for forgiving me and setting me free. In Jesus’ name, Amen."


Step 3: Renounce and Break Demonic Ties

After repenting, you must renounce any agreements with the enemy that allowed demonic influence. This could include:
Generational curses (sins of ancestors) – Exodus 20:5
Covenants or vows with darkness (occult, false religions, secret societies, witchcraft, etc.)
Ungodly soul ties (sexual sins, abusive relationships)
Objects connected to demonic activity (occult books, idols, witchcraft items, ungodly music, etc.)

Prayer of Renunciation

"In the name of Jesus, I renounce every covenant, agreement, and connection I have made knowingly or unknowingly with the kingdom of darkness. I specifically renounce [name specific involvements—e.g., witchcraft, Freemasonry, new age practices, sexual immorality, pornography, etc.]. I break every demonic stronghold and declare that I am no longer under Satan’s influence. I cancel every legal right of the enemy over my life through the blood of Jesus Christ. I command every spirit that entered through these doors to leave me now, in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen."


Step 4: Command Evil Spirits to Leave

📖 Luke 10:19“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

Deliverance involves speaking directly to demonic spirits and commanding them to leave in Jesus' name.

Prayer of Deliverance

"In the name of Jesus Christ, I take authority over every unclean spirit affecting my life. I break all curses, spells, and demonic assignments against me. I command every spirit of [name the specific struggle—e.g., lust, fear, depression, anger, addiction, witchcraft, etc.] to leave me now! I cast you out and send you to the feet of Jesus Christ for judgment. You have no more power over me, for I am washed in the blood of Jesus. I am free in Jesus' name! Amen."

(Pause, take deep breaths, and allow the Holy Spirit to work. You may yawn, cough, or feel a release as demons leave.)


Step 5: Close Every Door and Fill Yourself with the Holy Spirit

Deliverance is not just about removing demons but filling yourself with God’s presence to prevent re-entry.

📖 Matthew 12:43-45 – If a person is set free but does not fill their life with God, demons may return even stronger.

Prayer for Filling of the Holy Spirit

"Holy Spirit, I invite You to fill every part of my life. Fill me with Your presence, wisdom, and power. I ask for the fruits of the Spirit to manifest in me—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Strengthen me to walk in righteousness and obedience. I surrender completely to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen."


Step 6: Maintain Your Deliverance

Deliverance is a lifestyle that requires daily commitment to staying free.

Key Steps to Maintain Freedom:

Pray and read the Bible daily – Joshua 1:8
Guard your thoughts and words – 2 Corinthians 10:5
Stay away from sinful environments and influences – 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Forgive others completely – Matthew 6:14-15
Surround yourself with strong believers – Hebrews 10:25
Fast when needed for spiritual strength – Matthew 17:21
Praise and worship daily to keep your spirit strong – Psalm 100:4

Declaration of Victory

"I declare in the name of Jesus that I am free from all demonic bondage. I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord is my refuge and my strength (Psalm 91:2), and I will walk in His light daily. Thank You, Lord, for my deliverance! In Jesus' name, Amen!"


Final Encouragement

Self-deliverance is a powerful step of faith, but it is also a process. Some strongholds take time to fully break. Continue seeking God, staying in His Word, and living in obedience. Remember, your freedom is already won through Christ!

📖 John 8:36“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

If you ever feel overwhelmed, seek support from a trusted pastor or mature believer. Deliverance is part of the Christian journey, and God is always ready to help you overcome!

Scriptures Describing the Process of God

The idea that some individuals have a deeper understanding of God's ways and processes is illustrated in the verse which is from Psalm 103:7 : "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel."

Here are several scriptures that emphasize understanding God's processes, ways, or principles: Isaiah 55:8-9 : "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."
