Billy Graham -Preaching..."Demons,witches,wizards,the devil "When JESUS casts out a legion of demons

How Do I Cast out Demons?

I want to share with you how I do deliverance. I find it to be very effective. Other gifted people may minister deliverance in a different way. The important truth to keep in mind is that as a Christian we have been given the authority to cast out demons by the Lord Jesus Himself.

1. I begin by sharing from my experience and from Scripture what deliverance is and why it is important.

2. I then pray over the ministry that is to take place, carefully giving Christ all the praise for what He will do. I pray protection over the person who is receiving ministry, over his or her family, over the one who is helping me, and his family. Then I lift up the same prayer for my family and myself.

3. Next, I break any destructive tendencies or demonic holds passed down through family lines—such as, but not limited to, alcoholism, immorality, occult involvement, suicide, divorce, etc. Sometimes the person has told me what destructive traits are in his or her family line; sometimes the Holy Spirit impresses me with what it is; and sometimes I just break anything in general that has been passed down that is harmful.

4. I ask the person to forgive all who have wronged him or her in any way. (I usually have them do this silently in their heart.)

5. I ask the person to confess his or her sins, asking the Lord for forgiveness through the accomplished work of Christ (again, in silence).

6. Then, I ask the person to forgive him or herself.

7. Finally, I ask the person to confess and renounce any involvement with the occult, with New Age, with any non-Christian religion, or with superstitions.

8. After this preparation I move into commanding demons to come out by the authority of Christ and His blood. The Holy Spirit impresses me with things like anger, fear, rejection, etc. The person can also tell you what to cast out.

9. After ministry I always pray for an infilling of the Holy Spirit to fill up the vacuum created by the spirits leaving.
