PRAYER TO TAKE AUTHORITY
In the name of Jesus, I take authority and I bind all powers and forces of evil in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. You are the Lord over the entire universe and I give you the glory for your creation. In your name, I bind all demonic forces that have come against us and our families and I seal all of us in the protection of Your precious blood that was shed for us on the cross.
Mary, our mother, we seek your protection and intercession with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for us and our families, and surround us with your mantle of love to discourage the enemy.
St. Michael and our guardian angels come defend us and our families in battle against all the evil ones that roam the earth. In the name of Jesus, I bind and command all the powers and forces of evil to depart right now away from us, our homes and our lands. And we thank you, Lord Jesus, for you are a faithful and compassionate God. Amen.
We ask for the intercession of the Blessed Mother. Let us pray Hail Mary…
