Chapter Nine

Breaking Satanic Dedication and Blood Covenants

Every person may not be ready to go through this prayer in the first meeting, but every captive should pray through this prayer, regardless of their situation.

With first ritual abuse survivors, it would be wise to build a relationship with the person before proceeding.

Ritual survivors usually have been betrayed by every person they ever trusted ,and you are no different from the rest. It will take time for the captive to trust you, little by little.

Keep in mind that the captive is also feeling a tremendous amount of shame and guilt for what he or she may have done. You must proceed slowly and let the person lead.

Follow the Holy Spirit's guidance. With ritual abuse survivors, you need to get the full support, or as much as possible, of the person to whom you are ministering before taking him or her through this prayer.

One indication of an apparent problem is when the captive start to pray and flashbacks start.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

It should be noted that a flashback can be caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and can occur in abuse, trauma, and war survivors. This disorder can also result from an inner fear or an evil spirit, causing the captive to be afraid. Take time to investigate what is happening. You may be dealing with a Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD).

Frank and Ida Mae Hammond have an excellent way to deal with this problem. I suggest you read up on this disorder and become knowledgeable about it. It is important to know what is causing the problem so you can stop it. You want to stop the behavior without doing any damage in the process.

You will need to pray for wisdom and discerning of spirits. You may have to do spiritual warfare and pray the "Rule of the Victor" prayer before proceeding. (Details about the “Rule of the Victor” prayer are found in notes under that prayer). (See Page 150).

Note that spiritual warfare or binding spirits does not always have to be done out loud. It is effective if spoken very softly or even silently. If the person does not have a problem with binding spirits and spiritual warfare, then by all means do it aloud and have them agree with you.

Multiple Personality Disorder

If you are ministering to a person with a known Multiple Personality Disorder, be sure to explain that, during ministry, you are not talking to them but to interfering spirits. Before commanding any spirits to leave a person with MPD, explain exactly how you are going to minister to them. Evil spirits often torment and attempt to frighten the person with this disorder.

A clue to demonic activity in a multiple disorder personality is a sudden shift in the person’s moods and actions. One day, everything is peaceful and working together; the next day, there is chaos or fear everywhere.

If you have worked with the captive and befriended him, ask directly, “What are you experiencing and feeling? Do you know what is happening? Do you see or sense anything that is evil or frightening?”

He may give you some indication if an evil spirit is operating by describing how he is feeling, sensing, or seeing. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. Try to determine if what you are observing is something a demon would do.

Often the Holy Spirit will reveal that what you are observing is being caused by a demon. What you see happening to the person will be a clue to the nature of the spirits operating in the personality disorder.

Everything they are experiencing may not be due to demonic forces. Some occult programming or occult controllers may be coming to the surface. You will have to depend on the Holy Spirit's guidance. As you work with the person, tell him to relax and help make make him as comfortable as possible. Speak gently and confidently and explain that he will make it through if he perseveres.

This will keep a spirit of fear from troubling the captive or getting an advantage. Remind him that “Greater is He (the Lord Jesus Christ) than he that is in the world."

Precautions When Dealing With Ritual Survivors

Most ritual survivors are “multiples” (people who have Multiple Personality Disorder). Those with MPD or ritual abuse survivors, require special care. Caution is always best in all these cases.

An MPD is an isolation of the person’s ability to make decisions for themselves. As a result, demons make their decisions for them.

If you don't know the difference between which demon grouping is dominating, then check with someone who has experience with Multiple Personality Disorders. If you continue trying to minister, much damage can result and healing could be hindered for some time. The MPD captive may become distrustful and begin to believe that the Church doesn't understand or care.

If you know the person is a ritual abuse survivor and you are not sure exactly what to do, then consult with someone experienced in that area. Most non-ritualized survivors of sexual abuse usually do not have a problem with this prayer.

Satanic Baby Dedications and Initiations

Satanic dedications can happen to anyone with or without their knowledge, often as a baby or young child. Most people do not know what took place in their lives as very young children.

Someone in the family or relatives may have said evil or occult prayers over him/her as a baby. Often, occults are part of the family heritage and have been practiced for generations. The family does not see any problem with "passing on the heritage.” Such evil practices, however, makes the child vulnerable to demonic attack and entanglement later in life.

Someone may have made a financial agreement in exchange for some of the baby's blood or dedicated the baby to a false god or Satan. There may have been a dedication before the child was born.

Some are cultural rituals as practiced by some American Indians, Pennsylvania Dutch, "pow-wow" healers, Spanish Santeria cults, etc. They pray or make dedications to demonic spirit powers.

There are many initiation rites and ceremonies in secret societies that bring curses on people. It is believed that initiation into Mormonism has pacts and vows that can hold a person in bondage and open them to demonic attacks. These need to be renounced and repentance made. Some Mormons believe they are actually making a dedication to the Lord God, Yahweh, but they are deceived.

Satanic Healing and Blood Pacts

Some parents will take their children to psychic or occult healers when medical doctors fail to cure them. These methods of healing are satanic and call upon demonic powers for the healing. Satan never gives anything away. He will take off physical sickness and give them mental torment in return, which often does not show up until later in life.

Children are known to make a blood packs or cut themselves in play, becoming “blood brothers or sisters,” copying what they have seen on TV. These activities can produce lasting damage on the participants and their descendants.

The deliverance worker should tell the captive that it is best to be safe and pray this prayer, just in case someone has prayed over them without his/her knowledge. You don't want to leave any unknown doorways open through which Satan can attack. Explain that only one part of this prayer may apply to the captive, but we don't know which, so have him pray the entire prayer.

Satan’s View vs. God’s View

Blood pacts, vows ,and oaths must be renounced and broken. These activities place curses on the participants and open them to torment by evil spirits. Many times, this is done “just for fun” or “it really didn't mean anything.”

Satan takes a different view of coming to his kingdom for help and will use it as an opportunity to gain evil control over a person. The Lord GOD, Yahweh, also takes a serious view of taking part in these activities. (See Exodus 20:3-4 and Deuteronomy 18:9-13.)

Deliverance Workers can have the person pray, renounce, and cancel the effects of these curses and dedications. This process is crucial for freedom. After the person has prayed, have him command all spirits that came in with the curses, pacts, or dedications to leave in Jesus' name. Afterward, the person can submit all those areas of themselves to God for cleansing by the Blood of Jesus. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill all places where the spirits were.

Captive’s Prayer to Break Satanic Dedication and Blood Covenants

I renounce signing my name over to Satan or having my name signed over to Satan. I announce that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

I renounce any ceremony where I may have been wed to Satan. I announce that I am the Bride of Christ.

I renounce all satanic assignments, covenants, pacts, and dedications that I made with Satan, or that were made for me. I announce that I am a partaker of the new covenant with Christ.

I now REPENT for ever cutting myself or giving my blood for any assignments, ceremonies, or covenants with Satan. (Stop here and renounce any specific pacts remembered, like childhood cutting and mixing of blood with your best friend to be brothers or sisters.) I renounce any taking of or use of my blood for satanic rituals before I was old enough to be aware of it.

I confess and renounce all blood pacts or covenants. I reject and renounce all curses and assignments made for me or by me for the service of Satan. I trust only in the shed Blood of my Lord, Jesus Christ and what He accomplished on the cross. I look to the Holy Ghost for guidance.

I renounce ever eating of flesh or drinking of blood for satanic worship. I eat only the symbolic flesh and drink only the symbolic blood of my Lord, Jesus Christ, in Holy Communion, which I understand by faith and was commanded by Jesus to do in remembrance of Him and His sacrifice for me. (See Luke 22:17-19).

I renounce all guardians and surrogate parents assigned to me by Satanists. I renounce all baptisms, rituals, or teachings by Satanists. I announce that I have been baptized into Christ Jesus and my identity is now in Christ.

I renounce and reject all the demons and familiar spirits placed in me or attached to any part of me, by Satanists. I reject all spirit guides assigned to me. I reject and command all these evil spirits to leave now in Jesus' name.

Father, I ask You in Jesus' name, to send Your warrior angels to take these spirits from me and take them to their destiny, which You have ordained. I announce that God is my Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost is my guardian. By him, I am sealed until the day of my redemption. I accept only the Father’s assignment for me, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Have You Put Satan’s Laws into Effect?

Explain to the captive: The word “occult” means a “secret” or a “hidden” practice, knowledge, or power. Many people have been involved with occult practices such as fortune tellers, Ouija boards, psychic healers, astrologers, etc. This was often happened during childhood or as a young person. Most captives did not take these occult contacts seriously, but did it just for fun.

Satan, however, takes his kingdom very seriously. Spiritual laws are as real as the physical laws we know so well. When a person breaks God’s laws, even by accident or in fun, there are consequences, just as with physical laws.

It doesn't matter if the persons didn’t know better; the law is still in effect. A baby doesn't know about the law of gravity but can suffer the results of that law if he falls down the stairs. That law is not there to punish the baby. More experienced people are responsible to protect or instruct the baby on the dangers and watch over the child.

In the spiritual area, God gave us many warnings in Scripture and even sent His prophets to warn the people. Today, God has put the responsibility on the Church and those who are spiritually mature to teach the truth and disciple new believers.

The problem in the Church today is that the people are not following God's commands. Most people in the Church do not have a clue about these supernatural laws and principles. Jesus commanded us, the Church, to go make disciples and teach them everything given to us by God through His Holy Spirit in the Bible. People in the Church are buying into what the world is selling. The world does not have the Holy Ghost to guide them so they are in darkness. The Church has the answer and Christians have to warn them and lead them to freedom in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Don’t Pet the Rattlesnake

Curses come upon people for even minor occult contacts.

Often, I ask people this question, “If you would attempt to pet a rattlesnake, would the snake not bite you, even though you meant him no harm or that you did it for fun?”

Satan is a vicious “snake or serpent” and only seeks to steal, kill and destroy. Sickness, mental torment, and bondage are often the result of even minor contact with the powers of darkness, no matter how innocent. Some have been involved with the powers of darkness or the occult, without ever being aware that these practices were empowered by spirits of darkness.

The results of even minimal dabbling in the occult or psychic realm contaminates a person and can cause them torment, sickness, and even death. The effects do not always show up immediately. Sometimes, it is months or years before the effects of the occult contact are experienced. It may not even show up in this person's lifetime but come upon those in the generations after him.

Satan will allow time to pass so the person will not realize the source of their trouble. (Exodus 20:2-6), explains why. The Lord He is jealous. All this time, Satan has a legal right to harass and torment the person.

God's Word is clear about participating in occult activities. The effects often do not come to light until that person starts to seek a closer relationship with God or serve God in a greater capacity. At that time, Satan will take advantage of any contact with his kingdom.

Dabbling with the occult or psychic powers is very dangerous and is not to be taken lightly! Many occult contacts are with objects sold in toy stores. It does not make any difference if it is a toy.

When we break the law and commands of God, knowingly or unknowingly, the results are the same. The consequences come upon anyone who comes under the influence of that law. God Word warns his people about occult objects and practices. (See Deut., chapters 27 and 28; Ex. 20:5, Deut. 7:25-26; 18:9-13.)

God’s Legal Principle

Involvement with anything in Satan's domain gives Satan and his demons a right to attack and harass even believers. This is a legal principle. It is also the reason the Father has sent the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost is given and known as the “Paraclete,” the one called along side to help. He is there to lead us into all truth about God's laws so that Satan does not take us captive and cheat us out of our inheritance.

If a person has had any occult contacts, take him/her through these prayers.

The person must first repent and reject these past occult sins, otherwise praying these prayers will be merely empty words. Change requires a repentant heart and an intent to lead a new life, walking according to God's commandments.

As people pray this prayer, the Holy Ghost will bring to their minds their past occult contacts so they can be dealt with specifically at the end of the prayer.

Captive’s Prayer of Confession and Deliverance from Occult Sins

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You and renounce all sinful, occult practices and idolatry of seeking information, knowledge, healing, comfort, identity or power from any occult, psychic, or secret source.

I renounce ever reading books about the black arts, parapsychology, magic, satanic rituals, including the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, the Satanic Bible, books on false religions, and other satanic books and writings.

I renounce all sins of divination, including: palm reading, fortune telling, tarot card reading, tea leaf reading, the crystal ball or crystal gazing, candle gazing, Ouija Board, ESP, telepathy, horoscopes, automatic hand writing, or spirit writing, astrology, water divining, the rod and pendulum.

I renounce trance channeling, consulting familiar spirits, clairvoyance, communication with the dead, seances, consulting counselors from the spirit realm, consulting wizards, ascended masters, spirit guides, wise masters, fortune tellers, witches, shamans, mediums or spiritists.

I renounce all demonic, occult or psychic healing practices, including pow-wow healing, charming to heal, pendulum healing, magic healing, psychic healing, magnetism or Mesmerism.

I renounce all use of occult power, casting spells or witchcraft, voodoo, black and white magic, Santeria and other forms of local witchcraft.

I renounce magical or occult hypnosis, metaphysics or mind science, yoga, transcendental meditation, sorcery, astral projection and soul travel, table lifting or levitation, using pyramid power, mind control, amulets and charms, power crystals and religious medals.

I renounce heavy metal music, satanic rock and black rock, and all demonic role play games, such as Dungeons and Dragons.

I renounce all secret oaths to pagan gods as part of initiation ceremony into organization, fraternities, sororities, and other organizations which practice these ceremonies.

I renounce being involved in or in contact with secret lodges or societies such as Free Masonry and their organizations, the Eastern Star, Rosicrucians, Edgar Cayce's teachings and readings, Erhard Seminars Training (EST), Scientology, Eastern mysticism, Spiritism, Christian Science, Jehovah's Witness, Mormonism, Unitarians, The Way, Unification Church, the New Age and its practices or any religion or organization of an occult nature. I renounce and REPENT of ever taking part in any of these practices or organizations.

Heavenly Father, I confess the iniquities of my forefathers as far back as it goes on both sides of my family if they were involved in any of these practices or organizations. I ask You, Father, to forgive us and grant me and my family the blessings of Abraham because Jesus was made a curse for us. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Time to Repent

Note to Deliverance Worker: Stop at this point and tell the captive to name and renounce any occult involvement, including every occult sin or contact.

You can anoint the captive with oil and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to them any occult contact.

Have him say, “I renounce (name the occult sin), I repent and ask to be forgiven, in Jesus' name.” Do this for each occult contact until he has renounced all the occult sins that he can remember. When he has repented of all the occult contacts, have him pray the following prayer.

Captive’s Prayer of Cleansing For Participating in the Occult

Dear Heavenly Father, I have confessed all these occult sins of seeking from Satan the help that should come only from You. I repent of all these sins of occultism, idolatry, and any oath I may have made to any false gods and ask to be forgiven.

I repent for seeking aid, knowledge, power, or comfort from the kingdom of darkness. I repent and renounce those occult sins and idolatry even if I don’t remember doing it.

I renounce Satan and all his works. I hate all his demons, and I consider them all to be my enemies. I now inform all demonic spirits that you do not have any legal right to me, and you are trespassing.

I command all connected or related spirits—and all power demons that came in me or at me by taking part in these occult practices— to leave me now and never return, in Jesus' name. I close all the doors or openings in my life to all occult and psychic practices and spirits of darkness. I ask You, Heavenly Father, to seal them with the precious shed Blood of Jesus Christ and His death upon the Cross— and never to be opened again, in Jesus name. Amen

Note to Deliverance Worker: You can have the person renounce any spirits that came in or onto them because of participating in any occult practice. You can then command those spirits to leave and never return in Jesus’ Name.

Astral Projection and Divination

Astral projection or soul travel is an occult practice that involves an out-of-body experience produced through meditation or witchcraft. It is powered by evil spirits. Once a person takes this soulish control over his or her spirit, he can enter the spirit realm any time and talk to demons.

As Christians, we are to be under the guidance and control of the Holy Spirit. These people need to repent and be in godly meditation on Scriptures.

Note to Deliverance Worker: After taking the captive through the prayer for deliverance from occult sins, ask if he has been involved in astral projection. If so, instruct the captive that this practice is accomplished by demonic powers.

These people have yielded their bodies to Satan's use. This ability is not from God no matter how pleasant the experience.

On the back of their heads at the point where the top of the spine and the base of the skull meet is the place where the astral projected body or soul body leaves the physical body.

Bind any and all spirits that came in to help this person or give him the power to accomplish soul travel. Command these spirits to leave in Jesus' name.

You need to get permission from the captive to anoint him on the back of the head and close this opening. Explain that ,when you anoint this spot, he will no longer have the ability to astral project. When they are ready, anoint the back of their head, then command that opening sealed, never to be opened again, in Jesus' name.

Astral Projection and Dissociation

Astral projection is a conscious use of soul power empowered by forces of darkness. Out of body experiences due to trauma, accidents, or near death experiences are not occult practices. Out of body experiences caused by trauma are usually not under the person's control. Leaving the body in trauma is called dissociation. This is caused by severe stress or trauma.

Dissociation occurs when a child or person is being hurt and the pain is too great to bear. The person believes he is going to die. This is a stress coping mechanism. Most abuse survivors are unaware of how they leave their body.

Dissociation or splitting of the mind is a coping mechanism or survival ability built into humans. It can be dysfunctional if it is used to cope with every stress that comes along rather than facing it. Such behavior opens the door for demonic attachment. Frank and Ida Mae Hammond have an excellent book and some very good insight into dealing with this situation.

How to Guard Your Mind

It is always possible for an evil spirit to slip in while a person is unconscious and out of control of his or her mind or body because of an accident. This has nothing to do with the person sinning. There was simply no control or protection over his mind.

Demonic attacks of the mind can also happen when mind altering drugs are used, and the person loses control over his or her mind. We are instructed in Scripture to guard our minds.

If a person tells of trouble or torment starting soon after being unconscious from an accident, then a spirit may have taken up residence there. Have him renounce the spirit that came in from the accident and command it to leave, in Jesus' name.

You can instruct people who are submitting to anesthesia for medical reasons to protect their minds from demonic attack by applying the Blood of Jesus over their minds. It is always a wise practice to have Christians praying for them during such procedures.

How Evil Spirits Enter a Person

Evil spirits often gain entrance during times of sexual, ritual abuse and torture. Some rituals are done specifically to place demons in the person.

When evil spirits are found, they should be bound and cast out. The person did not invite them in, and it usually was not the result of a sinful action. A curse usually binds the demon in a person who is a ritual abuse survivors.

The person may or may not know anything about the curse. This is done so the person cannot get free. It is only with the power and revelation of the Holy Spirit that these curses are found. Anoint him or her and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to the captive any information concerning the curse or demons that entered or were placed in them. The curse binds the demon to the person and gives the demon a legal spiritual right to stay and torment.

Curses that are found have to be broken before the demons will leave. Simply have the person renounce the curses in Jesus' name and command it to be broken. Then, command any spirits that came in while this person was unconscious, tortured, or abused to be bound and leave, in Jesus' name. You can also command the demon not to tear the person as it leaves.

Sometimes, familiar spirits have come down family lines or have been with the person for a long time and are very familiar. You can also command these familiar spirits to leave. I have found it very useful at times to ask the Father, in Jesus' name, to send an angel to come to take this familiar spirit to its destiny.

The Occult “Third Eye”

Those who have been involved in divination, fortune telling, or have the ability to see into the spirit realm any time they choose, probably have a spirit of divination. They have opened the occult “third eye.”

The “third eye” is a supernatural eye that is on the forehead between the natural eyes. This is how fortune tellers, astrologers, witches, and mediums get supernatural knowledge and can see into the future. The occult “third eye,” used to look into the supernatural realm, operates by demonic powers.

If there is something God wants to show a person, then He will reveal it to them. In this case, it will be at His direction and under His control for a specific time or task. The ability to see into the supernatural realm has to be under God's control and direction because Satan will seduce mortals into the sinful use of this power. God does not want us to have anything to do with occult or psychic power. (See Deut. 18:10-13.)

Explain to the person that the source of this evil power is from the devil and not God. As you can see from Deuteronomy, God is not pleased with those who use this occult practice. (See Ex. 20:3-5.)

When the Captive is Resistant

People who can see into the supernatural realm may be resistant to giving up this ability, but they must if they want to be free and have peace with God. The person must renounce this practice and repent. It is always their choice. If they resist or argue about giving up this practice, he or she is not ready for ministry. You should stop until the captive freely decided to renounce this evil practice, give it up. If not, then that person has a rebellious spirit and not a humble spirit of someone who is truly sorry for dabbling in the occult.

In gentleness and love, explain to the captive the results of making this decision and that you are always being ready to help him when ready. Sometimes, teaching is necessary. Have them read God's Word and pray about this matter. God promised to deliver us from our enemies, not our friends.

If the person repents and wants God's cleansing and healing, then continue. Explain that you are going to anoint him and pray for him. This will stop his ability to see into the supernatural realm or use these psychic powers.

First, have them renounce this practice. Then have them renounce every demon or spirit entity that came into the captive to give him this power. Have him confess that he will only seek God's revelations, direction, and truth as revealed by the Holy Ghost and God's Word.

Have them say, “I renounce all the spirits of divination and the power demons that came in me to give me this power. I command you to leave me now in Jesus' name.” Then tell the person to say in his mind (not out loud): “All spirits of darkness and divination leave me now in Jesus Name.” Tell them to say this over in his mind, until he feels the evil spirits leave or until he feels peace. While the captive is renouncing, have him look directly at you.

The deliverance worker can then speak directly to the spirits saying, “I command you, spirits of darkness and divination, to come out of (person's name) and leave and never return, in Jesus' name.”

Do not let the captive close his eyes. Have him keep his eyes open and look directly at you while you command the spirits to leave. Usually, if they want these spirits to go, you will only have to speak this one time. It is also helpful, however, if the person continues to command these spirits mentally until they he experiences a release.

Next, have him agree with you to seal the “third eye” opening to the spirit realm. To seal or close the “third eye,” anoint him in the center of the forehead and command that “the third eye” be permanently closed, in Jesus Name, never to be opened again.
