BELIEVER'S AUTHORITY

How the Believer Can Take Control Over His or Her Mind, Home, Business & Country

(Originally compiled in 1980 by Dr.J.M. Haggard - now deceased)

AN INVITATION TO BATTLE

It is our responsibility as believers to use our authority in Jesus Christ and with his name bind satanic forces daily from our minds, families, homes, counties, states, and country. You can make a big difference. The Lord Jesus says we are sent as He was sent (John 20:21). Join fellow believers in "destroying the works of the devil" (I John 3:8).

From Genesis to Revelation the Bible is God's plan to defeat satan. Turning away from the devil is essential to receive the power of God. Here is some scriptural verification.

Jeremiah 17:5 - Deuteronomy 7:25 & 26 - II Corinthians 7:1 - Isaiah 5:11-14 - Leviticus 26:21 - Leviticus 26:40-42 - John 10:10 - Isaiah 47:13& 14 - II Corinthians 6:14-18 - Romans 8:13 - Deuteronomy 23:2 - Deuteronomy 5:9 - Deuteronomy 4:29-31 - Revelations 12:10,11

HOW TO GET CONTROL OF YOUR MIND

The battlefield is your mind. You either control and protect your mind, or the devil controls a part or all of your mind. Do you know that the Scriptures say that you can keep the devil out? You can:

1) Protect Your Mind (Ephesians 6:17)

2) Protect Your Children's Minds - (1 Corinthians 7:14, John 17:12, Heb. 2:8, Isaiah 54:13, Ephesians 6:11).

3) Protect the Minds of the Newly Delivered - (Ephesians 6:18, Romans 8:26-27).

You have to work at taking authority. Below are the steps that you need to take.

1) You must become a believer. It only works for believers (John 14:12, Mark 16:17).

2) Break the bondage of satan over the aware and unaware mind. Command all bonds of serpents, cords, and bondage to be cast off, cut off and removed, in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. We then call for the Father to send angels with swords to do this. (Heb. 1:14, Lev. 26:13, Isaiah 28:22, Job 38:31, Prov. 5:22, Ps. 103:20).

3) Daily recite renunciation and warfare prayers. Break soul ties. Daily break away from mind altering medicines such as Valium, Librium, Serex, Phenobarbital, sleeping pills, etc.

4) Have an attitude of deliverance and keep yourself in a state of continuous deliverance. Why? Because you'll soon see that any doubt, negative thought, care or worry will be a crack in your protective armor. (Luke 8:14).

5) Cast out fears (name each one or group), forgetfulness, curses, vows, anxiety, confusion, envy, jealousy, gossip, compromise, cravings, addictions, mind control spirits, etc. (Mark 16:17, Philippians 4:4-8).

6) Salvation really means saved or delivered out of the control of the devil. Romans 10:10 says that we actually set ourselves free of various areas of satan's bondage as we confess (say so) with our mouths and agree with God's word. We are freed as we agree with God and believe that through Jesus Christ we are being delivered as we speak it forth. Jesus Christ will set us free of sickness, bondage, poverty, oppression, and anything else that the devil tries to lay on us if we agree with the Word of God and act on it. (Philippians 2:12, Ephesians, 6:17).

7) Learn the true meaning of hope. Hope within the believer is an inner uplift of optimism through knowing that we are seated in heaven with the Father through Christ. With Christ's conquering power in us, we can defeat and eliminate every care and worry. It is with this confidence that we are complete in him (1 Thessalonians 5:8, Ephesians 2:6, Colossians 2:9-10).

8) Now you can control your mind by bringing every thought into captivity. You can now accept good thoughts and reject the devil's thoughts (II Corinthians 10:5).

TAKE AUTHORITY OVER YOUR HOME, FAMILY AND SELF - BINDING & LOOSING IN THE HOME
(The Weapons of our Warfare)

BINDING (Matthew 16:19, Matthew 18:18, Luke 11:21)

In the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ I bind the strong man over county, township, city, block, home each family member (specifically by name), dogs, cats, and any other animals.

I bind and cast out of my family and each individual member of my family the spirits of Poverty, Lack, Want, Greed, Selfishness, Automatic Failure Mechanism, Poor Memory and Confusion, Anxiety and (any other spirits that plague your family).

I loose in the name of Jesus Christ the Spirits of Deliverance, Adoption, each person's angels (Matthew 18:10), and the angels of the Lord over the area (county, city, etc).

In the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ I loose into (your family name) and the entire family as individuals the 7 Spirits of the Lord as found in Isaiah 11:2. They are: the Spirit of the Lord, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and the Fear of the Lord.

I also loose the Spirits of Truth (John 14:17), Grace (Zechariah 12:10), Life (Revelation 11:12), Sound Mind (11 Timothy 1:7), Inventiveness (Proverbs 8:12), along with the Spirits of Love, Joy, Peace, Power, Abundance, Plenty, Retentive Mind.

Then with this foundation I receive in the authority of Jesus Christ into all family members the things Jesus Christ received as a worthy lamb in Revelation 5:12. Power (Acts 1:8,) Riches (11 Corinthians 8:9), Honor (Romans 2:7), Wisdom (James 1:5), Strength (1 Peter 5:10), Blessings (Psalms 115:12-15) and the Godly inheritance of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

I COMMAND YOU satan and your foul and evil spirits to loose (your family name) and all things you have stolen from (your name), as well as all petroleum resources, lands, cattle, sheep, goats, oxen and (name anything else you want to loose). I command you also to loose the finances of people who owe us money.

I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to send your angels to cause to come into the (your family) treasury all moneys, lands, and other things that satan has stolen from us that are ours through the blessings of Jesus Christ. To cause children to have favor toward parents and parents toward children. (Hebrews 1:14). (Name here your father, mother and grandparents on each side.)

TAKE AUTHORITY OVER YOUR FINANCES, JOB AND BUSINESS - BINDING & LOOSING
(Matthew 16:19, Matthew 18:18)

In the authority of Jesus Christ I bind the strong man over: (Luke 11:20-22) YOUR STATE, COUNTY, TOWNSHIP, CITY, AREA, BLOCK, BUSINESS

Over each president, owner, board of directors, each employee, treasurer, and the finances of this business, each customer, all of my property, and bank.

I cast out the spirits of Mismanagement, Poverty, Lack, Failure, Bankruptcy, Stagnation, and I loose into each category just mentioned Wisdom, Inventiveness, Aggressiveness, Profit, Service, Fairness, Truth, Honesty, the Spirits of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2), and prosperity through The Lord. (Deut. 8:18, II Cor. 8:9, Mark 10:24)

I loose in the authority of Jesus Christ the angels over each: STATE, COUNTY, TOWNSHIP, CITY, AREA, BLOCK, BUSINESS and EMPLOYEE. I ask you Lord to send your angels out to create favor for this business. Now your mind is more capable to carry out the function that God intended.
