Pre & Post Ministry Prayers

Protection & Authority
#1

Jesus, I ask you to seal me in your most Precious Blood against any and all incursions of the evil one, in particular against any clinging, generational, familiar or retaliating spirits.

Lord Jesus, in your Name I ask You to bind and silence all powers and forces that do not accept You as Lord and King, in the air, in the water, in the ground, the netherworld, in nature and the spiritual world. I ask you to bind all demonic action and demonic communication. Lord, Seal this whole place, all of us here, and all our intentions, in Your Most Precious Blood.

Mary, we ask you to surround us with your mantle of protection and crush Satan’s power in our lives. Saint Michael the Archangel, we ask you and all our Guardian Angels to defend us in battle against Satan and all the powers of darkness. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

#2
In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of His cross and His blood, we bind the power of any evil spirits and command them not to block our prayers. We bind the powers of the earth, air, water, fire, the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature. We break any curses, hexes, or spells sent against us, and declare them null and void. We break the assignments of any spirits sent against us and send them to Jesus to deal with them as He will. Lord, we ask You to bless our enemies by sending Your Holy Spirit to lead them to repentance and conversion. Furthermore, we bind all interaction and communication with the world of evil spirits as it affects us and our ministry. We ask for the protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ over (us/me/name, etc) and with the intercession of our Mother Mary. Thank You, Lord, for the protection and we ask You to send Your angels, especially St. Michael the Archangel to help us in the battle. We ask You to guide us in our prayers: share with us Your Spirit’s power and compassion. Amen

Perimeter

Lord Jesus Christ, in your love and mercy establish a perimeter of protection around N. and me and all our loved ones, those who pray for us and their loved ones. May the Holy Angels guard him/her/us and all our possessions, establishing a perimeter of protection around N., rendering him /her /us immune from any kind of demonic influence. I ask that no demonic bondage, door, demonic entity, portal, astral projection or disembodied spirit may enter the space of 100 yards in all directions of him /her /us. I ask that any demons within this vicinity or any that should try to enter here be rendered deaf, dumb, and blind; that You would strip them of all weapons, armor, power, illusions, and authority; that You would bind, rebuke and disable them from communicating or interacting with each other in any way. Remove them, sending them directly to the foot of Your Cross. Jesus, Son of the Most High, I ask this in Your Glorious and Most Holy Name. Amen.

Umbrellino Prayer for Technology

Lord Jesus Christ, Sovereign King enthroned in Heaven, in your love and mercy establish a perimeter of protection with Your Precious Blood around our communication devices and all technology used during this session, the cameras or webcams, microphones, speakers, displays, any and all software, WiFi connections in the air, both my router and the router of N. and anyone assisting, the optic cables involved in the transmission of data, and the light waves being used to transfer data. Cleanse them with your precious blood and drive from them any satanic influence. Establish around them a sanctuary of your mercy where Satan and any other evil spirit or human agency cannot interfere. I ask Father that you would block, bind, rebuke and render impotent any assault of the evil one from them in any way. Father, we ask you to allow them to enjoy the protection of the Blessed Mother, St. Michael the Archangel and all the Holy Angels. We ask for the special intercession of Saint Carlo Acutis. We ask this in Your Most Holy Name. Amen.

Cleansing (Post Ministry)

#1
In the name and authority of Jesus, by the shed blood of Jesus, I cleanse myself from anything that may have attached itself to me (and those present) or to our families during this ministry session.

(Source: JPII Healing Center).

#2
"Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we pray that the cleansing power of the precious blood of Your Son come upon us right now.

​Purify us and wash us clean with the Blood of Jesus from the top of our heads to the very soles of our feet. Let this blood penetrate the very marrow of our bones to cleanse us from any entanglement from whatever evil spirits we have come in contact with during the course of our prayer and intercession. Anoint us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and refresh our body, soul, and spirit, and may the sign of Your Holy Cross drive away all evil spirits from us. In the Name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

​ #3
"Lord Jesus, thank You for allowing me to be an expression of Your healing love today. Thank You for taking on the sufferings of our humanity on the cross as they are too great for any of us to bear. I now release to You any burdens that I may be carrying from this time of ministry and ask You to cleanse me of any residual anger, pain, sorrow, lust, despair, shame or confusion. In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce any evil spirits that may have attached themselves to me through this time of ministry (renounce by name if you are aware of anything specific). Come Holy Spirit: renew me – fill me with your love, joy, and peace. Refresh my body and soul. Lord Jesus, by the ministry of Your holy angels, please protect me and all of my loved ones and those who received prayer today and their loved ones from any retaliation or harm. Glory Be to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen."

In Session Prayers

In-Session Instructions

Pay attention to your five senses. Watch or listen for Words of Knowledge (they can appear quickly like fish swimming by, and you need to grab them before they’re gone). Upon receiving a Word of Knowledge, ask the Holy Spirit for the meaning. If you sense physical pain, ask the Holy Spirit for the meaning. [Pain in the heart may be unforgiveness and/or identity wounds. Pain in the stomach may be hopelessness or fear or abandonment wounds. Heaviness or pain in the shoulders may be overburdened.  Pain in the shoulder blade area may be betrayal wounds. Back pain may be guilt.]

You could also feel something physical that they are suffering with, (like knee pain or arthritis), that will probably come up in the session as a need of the recipient but if it doesn't, you can ask at the end of the session if they would like prayer for any physical healing.

Pay attention to what you are thinking and feeling as you are praying for the recipient. If all the sudden you start to feel something or sense something, then pray into that asking the Lord questions to help you discern how to pray for them. Ask God to free them from whatever He reveals to you and to also reveal this and the root cause of it to the recipient and/or the Lead.

Consider using rosary beads to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. It's a simple prayer to continually repeat while also listening to their story. "For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on (the recipient) and on the whole world." As their story unfolds, I insert the names of the people being mentioned, living or deceased; their favorite Grandma or an abuser (don't judge, pray). Pray a decade or two for the Lead too.

Whenever the Lord breaks in with some inspiration, pause, listen, discern if you need to tell the Lead or not. Continue with the Chaplet. If that inspiration keeps coming back to you, you should then share it.

Sometimes Jesus will reveal something to you that is not to be shared in the session. It is just for you to pray with and to intercede for them. Thank God for this inspiration and trust that He is working there. You can always share with the Lead after the session what God revealed to you.

If you notice or sense a spirit of distraction or any disturbance, ask God to bind these spirits in Jesus's Name and bring His Peace into the room.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum. Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.
