On the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria.

Psalm 102:1-3

LORD, I cry unto Thee! Make haste unto me! Give ear unto my voice when I cry unto Thee. Let my prayer be set before Thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties. Let the righteous smite me: it shall be a kindness. And let him reprove me: it shall be as an excellent oil, which shall not break my head; for yet my prayer shall be with them in their calamities. When their judges are overthrown onto stony places, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.

How do I pray

by Dre

Read also about the ACTS of prayer.


And I say unto you: ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?"
Luke 11:9-13

The following are prayers are on how to pray against witchcraft, the occult, the Jezebel spirit, and other abominable things in our lives which seem to be much more prominant today than ever before. These are prayers to show you how you can renounce those things which have become pillars in your life. They may be printed off and recited as they are. You may include your name in them. However, you must mean what you say and say it sincerely to God if you want to be healed. It is also highly recommended when renouncing such things in our lives that we say them in the presence of another bible believing Christian. If you have not yet been saved and accepted Jesus as your Savior, then you need to go before the Lord and say the prayer of salvation before beginning any of the following renounciation prayers.

You may add whatever you are dealing with or whatever you have been involved with to any of these prayers. Now, say these prayers out loud to God and let Satan hear them too.

In the name of Jesus, I apply the blood of Jesus over me at this time and place. I submit to the Lord Jesus Christ for my freedom. I ask You, Lord, to send ministering angels to assist in this deliverance. All demonic activity is bound according to Matthew 16:18-19. I thank You, Jesus, that Your name gives me authority. Your blood that You shed gives me covering. Being in agreement with You gives me bonding. Binding and loosing gives me my keys to the kingdom. Fasting is my cutting edge and praising You is the banner over me.

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He has come in the flesh, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life. I confess that He died for me on Calvary, was buried and three days later, arose, victorious over death, hell and the grave. He proved Himself alive by many infallible proofs, ascended into heaven, was crowned and seated at the right hand of God the Father. He sent His Holy Spirit into the world. I have trusted Him as my Savior and do now confess Him to be both Savior and Lord. My body is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. The devil has no right to a place in me and no power over me. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus, made righteous with the righteousness of Jesus. I am standing before the throne of God in the righteousness of Jesus.

I now take a stand against every lie the devil has ever told me. I refuse every lie he would now tell me. I take back every piece of ground I have ever given him, break every contact I have made with him, close every door I have ever opened to him, knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally. I come against every stronghold that he has constructed in my life, believing that the weapons in my hands are not carnal, but mighty through God to pull down strongholds, cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. I believe that the Bible gives me the will of God. I believe that it is the will of God for my life, and do now claim it in the name of Jesus. I now claim my freedom and receive it in Jesus' name. I do now thank You Father God for my freedom.


Pray in private as to not make it public.

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly..." Matthew 6:5-6


God already knows what we need, want, and desire.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them, for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask Him. Matthew 6:7-8


Jesus set the example for us on how we ought to pray.

According to Matthew 6:9-13, therefore pray ye in this manner:


Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory for ever. Amen.
