Prayer for Deliverance and Healing

 

Prayer for Deliverance and Healing

“Heavenly Father, thank you for your precious grace and mercy. Lord, thank you, for letting me see another day. Father, thank you, for a new direction and fresh hope. God, as I go through life trying to get close to where you would have me, I’m grateful. That you have never left my side no matter the situation, no matter the state, no matter my mistakes. Lord God, as I continue to move forward with each day, I thank you for your light that keeps on shinning within. For your powerful hands that continue to hold and your gracious love that protects me. Lord, You took a sinner like me, the least of those expected. You are using me for your glory. In circumstances that I didn’t ask for, but you chose me for what role you have in mind.

Blessed God, I ask that the same merciful hand and love be extended to those who are in pain and hurting. Lord, may you continue to change the atmosphere Lord so that your light shines on for eternity. Creator of heaven and the earth. God please continue showering your love throughout this nation to those who don’t know love. Those who don’t know you, or just desire to be in your presence. Father, may they get to know unconditional love through you. I pray that you continue to touch, heal and deliver, send help for those who are in need. Release those who are in spiritual bondage, heal those who are in pain. Send good news to those who are in need of help. Comfort those who are lonely. Strengthen those who feel weak. Give wisdom to those who are confused.

 

Self Deliverance Prayer

“Spirit of our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, come down upon me. Please cleanse me, mold me, fill me with your spirit, and use me. Remove all the forces of evil from me; destroy them, annihilate them so that I can be healthy and do good deeds.
Father, take from me all curses, spells, hexes, witchcraft, black magic, demonic interactions, malfeasance , and the evil eye. All demonic infestations, oppressions, possessions. Also, all that is evil and sinful. Banish jealousy, treachery, envy; all physical, psychological, moral, spiritual and diabolical affliction. Father, take as well, all tempting spirits, deaf, dumb, blind, mute and sleeping spirits. As well as new-age spirits, occult spirits, religious spirits, antichrist spirits, and any other spirits of death and darkness.
Lord, I command and bid all the powers who molest me. By the power of the Almighty God, by the power of Jesus Christ my Savior. To leave me forever, and to be dispatched into the eternal lake of fire, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. Amen.”

PRAYER TO THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS

PRAYER TO THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS

O Most Precious Blood of Jesus, infinite price of the redemption of sinful humanity, solace and refreshment of our souls, you continuously foster our cause before the throne of Supreme Mercy.  I profoundly adore you and want, as much as possible, to make reparation for the insults and disrespect you receive from human beings, especially from those who dare to blaspheme.

Who will not bless this Blood of infinite value!  Who would not be set aflame with love toward Jesus who shed this Blood?  Who would I be if this Divine Blood had not redeemed me?  Who removed it from the veins of my Lord to the last drop?  Love did it!  O immense love, which bestowed upon us this saving balm!  O immeasurable balm which sprang from a spring of immense love, may all hearts and languages praise you, exult you and give you thanks now and forever. Amen.

A cry for God’s help against powerful opponents

 

PSALM 12

A cry for God’s help against powerful opponents




The Father sent his Son into the world to defend the poor (Saint Augustine).




Help, O Lord, for good men have vanished; 

truth has gone from the sons of men.

Falsehood they speak one to another, 

with lying lips, with a false heart.




May the Lord destroy all lying lips, 

the tongue that speaks high-sounding words,

those who say: “Our tongue is our strength;

our lips are our own, who is our master?”




“For the poor who are oppressed and the needy who groan †

I myself will arise,” says the Lord. 

“I will grant them the salvation for which they thirst.”




The words of the Lord are words without alloy, 

silver from the furnace, seven times refined.




It is you, O Lord, who will take us in your care 

and protect us for ever from this generation.

See how the wicked prowl on every side, 

while the worthless are prized highly by the sons of men.




Glory to the Father, and to the Son, 

and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now, 

and will be for ever. Amen.

DEDICATION OF A FAMILY TO MARY by St. Alphonsus Liguori

 

DEDICATION OF A FAMILY TO MARY 

by St. Alphonsus Liguori

Oh Blessed and Immaculate Virgin, our Queen and Mother, refuge and consolation of all those who are in misery, I, prostrate before thy throne with all my family, choose thee for my Lady, Mother, and Advocate with God.

I, with all who belong to me, dedicate myself forever to thy service, and pray thee, oh Mother of God, to receive us into the number of thy servants, taking us all under thy protection, aiding us in life, and still more, at the hour of our death.

Oh Mother of Mercy, I choose thee Lady and ruler of my whole house, of my relatives, my interests, and all my affairs. Do not disdain to take care of them; dispose of them all as it pleases thee.

Bless me, then, and all my family, and do not permit that any of us should offend thy Son. Do thou defend us in temptations, deliver us from dangers, provide for us in our necessities, counsel us in our doubts, console us in afflictions, be with us in sickness, and especially in the agonies of death.

Do not permit the devil to glory in having in his chains any of us who are now consecrated to thee; but grant that we may come to thee in heaven to thank thee, and together with thee to praise and love our Redeemer Jesus for all eternity. Amen, thus may it be.

Pope Francis' Act of Consecration Prayer of Russia and Ukraine to Our Lady

 On March 25th, Pope Francis had lead the bishops of the world in the consecration of Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Read below the prayer Pope Francis  had prayed when he did so:

O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Yet we have strayed from that path of peace. We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young. We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons. We stopped being our neighbor’s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves. Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!

Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church and for all humanity. By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.

We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: “Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.

That is what you did at Cana in Galilee, when you interceded with Jesus and he worked the first of his signs. To preserve the joy of the wedding feast, you said to him: “They have no wine” (Jn 2:3). Now, O Mother, repeat those words and that prayer, for in our own day we have run out of the wine of hope, joy has fled, fraternity has faded. We have forgotten our humanity and squandered the gift of peace. We opened our hearts to violence and destructiveness. How greatly we need your maternal help!

Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.

Star of the Sea, do not let us be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.

Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects and paths of reconciliation.

Queen of Heaven, restore God’s peace to the world.

Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge, and teach us forgiveness.

Free us from war, protect our world from the menace of nuclear weapons.

Queen of the Rosary, make us realize our need to pray and to love.

Queen of the Human Family, show people the path of fraternity.

Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.

O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir our hardened hearts. May the tears you shed for us make this valley parched by our hatred blossom anew. Amid the thunder of weapons, may your prayer turn our thoughts to peace. May your maternal touch soothe those who suffer and flee from the rain of bombs. May your motherly embrace comfort those forced to leave their homes and their native land. May your Sorrowful Heart move us to compassion and inspire us to open our doors and to care for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.

Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: “Behold your son” (Jn 19:26). In this way he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: “Behold, your Mother” (v. 27). Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history. At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross, needing to entrust itself to you and, through you, to consecrate itself to Christ. The people of Ukraine and Russia, who venerate you with great love, now turn to you, even as your heart beats with compassion for them and for all those peoples decimated by war, hunger, injustice and poverty.

Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine. Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love. Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world. The “Fiat” that arose from your heart opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace. We trust that, through your heart, peace will dawn once more. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.

Through your intercession, may God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the “Fiat,” on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our “living fountain of hope,” water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion. You once trod the streets of our world; lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen.

DELIVERANCE PRAYER

SHORT-FORM DELIVERANCE PRAYER 

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His Cross, His Blood and His resurrection, I bind you Satan, the spirits, powers and forces of darkness, the nether world, and the evil forces of nature. I take authority over all curses, hexes, demonic activity, and spells directed against me, my family, my relationships, ministry, air space, finances, and the work of my hands; and I break them by the power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. I bind all demonic interactions, interplay and communications between spirits sent against me, and send them directly to Jesus Christ for Him to deal with as He wills. I ask forgiveness for, and denounce all negative inner vows that I have made with the enemy, and ask that Jesus Christ release me from these vows and from any bondage they have held in me. I ask Jesus, the Son of the living God, to pour His shed Blood over every aspect of my life for my protection. I pray all these things in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer of Trust

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.

And I hope I have that desire in all I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road, though I may seem to be lost in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD (Feast Day: March 25)

The Story of the Annunciation of the Lord

(Feast Day: March 25)

The feast of the Annunciation, now recognized as a solemnity, was first celebrated in the fourth or fifth century. Its central focus is the Incarnation: God has become one of us. From all eternity God had decided that the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity should become human. Now, as Luke 1:26-38 tells us, the decision is being realized. The God-Man embraces all humanity, indeed all creation, to bring it to God in one great act of love. Because human beings have rejected God, Jesus will accept a life of suffering and an agonizing death: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).



Mary has an important role to play in God’s plan. From all eternity, God destined her to be the mother of Jesus and closely related to him in the creation and redemption of the world. We could say that God’s decrees of creation and redemption are joined in the decree of Incarnation. Because Mary is God’s instrument in the Incarnation, she has a role to play with Jesus in creation and redemption. It is a God-given role. It is God’s grace from beginning to end. Mary becomes the eminent figure she is only by God’s grace. She is the empty space where God could act. Everything she is she owes to the Trinity.



Mary is the virgin-mother who fulfills Isaiah 7:14 in a way that Isaiah could not have imagined. She is united with her son in carrying out the will of God (Psalm 40:8-9; Hebrews 10:7-9; Luke 1:38).



Together with Jesus, the privileged and graced Mary is the link between heaven and earth. She is the human being who best, after Jesus, exemplifies the possibilities of human existence. She received into her lowliness the infinite love of God. She shows how an ordinary human being can reflect God in the ordinary circumstances of life. She exemplifies what the Church and every member of the Church is meant to become. She is the ultimate product of the creative and redemptive power of God. She manifests what the Incarnation is meant to accomplish for all of us.




Reflection


Sometimes spiritual writers are accused of putting Mary on a pedestal and thereby, discouraging ordinary humans from imitating her. Perhaps such an observation is misguided. God did put Mary on a pedestal and has put all human beings on a pedestal. We have scarcely begun to realize the magnificence of divine grace, the wonder of God’s freely given love. The marvel of Mary—even in the midst of her very ordinary life—is God’s shout to us to wake up to the marvelous creatures that we all are by divine design.
