Taking Authority: "In the name of Jesus, I break the power of every evil spirit, identity lies, judgements and unholy vows named and command them to leave now. I will not fellowship or partner with these any longer.Heavenly Father, I ask your forgiveness for participating in any sinful activities that may have given these spirits an entryway in my life. Thank you for your mercy and deliverance. [Please reveal to me, Father, where these spirits gained entryway. Please also expose any wounds or lies that give them power in my life.] I ask this in the authority of Jesus' name. Amen."(Source: JPII Healing Center)
* To "reject" is to make an act of the will which says in effect: "I do not want this evil spirit." To "rebuke" is sharply denouncing the evil spirit. To "renounce" is to give back any benefits desired or received in the demonic relationship. Monsignor Rossetti - CatholicExorcism.org
