CANCELING LEGAL GROUND
out of me, and my family line by the precious blood of Jesus shed
on the cross. I ask you to completely disassociate me from any evil
activity of my living family members that is beyond my control. I
thank you now for what you have done in Jesus’ name, amen.”
The next step is renouncing. Renouncing something out loud dis­
associates that individual, in a legal way, with whatever they are
renouncing. This is the opposite of what we see when the Bible
says to confess Jesus as Lord. When we confess Jesus, we are
accepting him, and when we renounce something we are rejecting
and separating from it. After the prayer above, I always lead people
to repeat a statement that goes something like this:
“In the name of Jesus I renounce satan, his works, and his king­
dom. I renounce all occult practices, false gods, and idol worship. I
renounce any dedication to the enemy or oath that was not of God.
I pledge my life, family, and descendants to Jesus, and him only!”
Once people realize what they are actually doing, they usually
really get into the renouncing satan part! I don’t blame them. I
would too. These two steps of saying out loud a prayer of confes­
sion and repentance, then renouncing the enemy will cancel any
legal ground the enemy has once had to someone. Of course, there
may be something someone needs to specifically ask forgiveness
for or specifically renounce. We have to be sensitive to the Holy
Spirit and treat every deliverance differently. Last, there needs to
be a check for any unforgivenss that is not dealt with. After confes­
sion, renouncing, and forgiving it does not mean that demons will
instantly leave. Sometimes they might, but most of the time demons
have to be forced out by a forceful command backed up with the
anointing. One may have to pray and speak out “I cancel this legal
ground to satan and command you demons to go, in Jesus’ name!”
Bottom line, the legal ground will have to be cancelled at some
point in time throughout the deliverance or the enemy will reestab­
lish his works, and come in again.
Stubborn faith
Don’t ever allow discouragement to enter your life if you pray and
don’t see the results you want to see immediately. Prayer always
works, but sometimes we might pray a certain direction, and it is
simply the wrong direction to pray. For example, someone may be
praying for healing. They may be asking Jesus to heal them when
they need to be taking authority over the demon that is causing the
sickness in the first place. Therefore it is a deliverance issue, not a
healing issue. So when the person was praying for healing they
weren’t seeing the results they wanted to see. Don’t ever give up or
