Queenship of Mary

Queen of the World and of Peace

From a homily by Saint Amadeus of Lausanne, bishop

Observe how fitting it was that even before her assumption the name of Mary shone forth wondrously throughout the world. Her fame spread everywhere even before she was raised above the heavens in her magnificence. Because of the honor due her Son, it was indeed fitting for the Virgin Mother to have first ruled upon earth and then be raised up to heaven in glory. It was fitting that her fame be spread in this world below, so that she might enter the heights of heaven in overwhelming blessedness. Just as she was borne from virtue to virtue by the Spirit of the Lord, she was transported from earthly renown to heavenly brightness.

So it was that she began to taste the fruits of her future reign while still in the flesh. At one moment she withdrew to God in ecstasy; at the next she would bend down to her neighbors with indescribable love. In heaven angels served her, while here on earth she was venerated by the service of men. Gabriel and the angels waited upon her in heaven. The virgin John, rejoicing that the Virgin Mother was entrusted to him at the cross, cared for her with the other apostles here below. The angels rejoiced to see their queen; the apostles rejoiced to see their lady, and both obeyed her with loving devotion.

Dwelling in the loftiest citadel of virtue, like a sea of divine grace or an unfathomable source of love that has everywhere overflowed its banks, she poured forth her bountiful waters on trusting and thirsting souls. Able to preserve both flesh and spirit from death she bestowed health-giving salve on bodies and souls. Has anyone ever come away from her troubled or saddened or ignorant of the heavenly mysteries? Who has not returned to everyday life gladdened and joyful because his request had been granted by the Mother of God?

She is a bride, so gentle and affectionate, and the mother of the only true bridegroom. In her abundant goodness she has channeled the spring of reason’s garden, the well of living and life-giving waters that pour forth in a rushing stream from divine Lebanon and flow down from Mount Zion until they surround the shores of every far-flung nation. With divine assistance she has redirected these waters and made them into streams of peace and pools of grace. Therefore, when the Virgin of virgins was led forth by God and her Son, the King of kings, amid the company of exulting angels and rejoicing archangels, with the heavens ringing with praise, the prophecy of the psalmist was fulfilled, in which he said to the Lord: At your right hand stands the queen, clothed in gold of Ophir.

A great sign appeared 

in the heavens: 

a woman clothed 

with the sun, 

with the moon under her feet,

and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.

From the Liturgy of the Hours, August 22^nd Memorial for the Queenship of Mary

I love you Holy Mother, pray for us.

Saint Amadeus (1110-1159) was born of the royal family of Franconia, in France in 1110. He was the son of Blessed Amadeus of Clermont, France and was educated at the monasteries at Bonnevaux and Cluny. Amadeus entered the monastery at Clairvaux in 1124, becoming a Cistercian under the spiritual direction of St. Bernard. Fifteen years later he was appointed abbot of Ilautecombe abbey in Savoy in 1139. Five years later he was made bishop of Lausanne in 1144. There he worked for renewal and reform in a troubled region racked with violence and disturbances. In one of his letters he tells how his vestments once ran red with the blood of a man murdered while the bishop tried unsuccessfully to protect him. Amid these difficulties and administrative duties, Amadeus wrote and preached eight homilies in praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, reflecting the devotion learned in the Cistercian monastery under St. Bernard. These homilies evidence a distinctive piety expressed with all the eloquence of a trained orator. The above is one of those homilies.

FATIMA -- DID YOU KNOW PART FIVE

Vision of the Most Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary to Lucia June 13, 1929

The Most Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary appear to Sister Lucia in her convent chapel at Tuy, Spain on June 13, 1929.

One of the most important of all the revelations of Fatima, is the last great vision in 1929. It appears to be a synthesis of the entire message.

This vision was unknown to the world until a few years ago when, for the golden jubilee of Fatima, it was revealed by Diocesan authorities. Previously it had been made known only to Pope Pius XII in a personal letter.

Sister Lucia describes the vision as follows:

“Suddenly a supernatural light illumined the whole chapel and on the altar appeared a cross of light which reached to the ceiling.  In a brighter part could be seen, on the upper part of the Cross, the face of a Man and His Body to the waist.  On His Breast was an equally luminous Dove, and nailed to the Cross, the body of another Man.

“A little below the waist, suspended in mid-air, was to be seen a Chalice and a large Host onto which fell some drops of Blood from the face of the Crucified and from the wound on His breast.  These drops ran down over the Host and fell into the Chalice.  

Under the right arm of the Cross was Our Lady {Our Lady of Fatima with Her Immaculate Heart in Her Hand} . . .

Under the left arm (of the cross), some big letters, as if it were crystal-clear water running down over the altar, formed the words: “Grace and Mercy.” . . .

I understood that it was the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity which was shown to me, and I received lights about this Mystery which I am not permitted to reveal.

The Our Lady spoke:

“The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father to make, in union with all the bishops of the world, the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means.”

After vain efforts to convince Pope Pius XI to honor Our Lady of Fatima's urgent request, Father Goncalves (Sister Lucia's confessor) was as a loss for how to proceed.  He wrote to Sister Lucia and asked her if he should continue to insist on the consecration to Russia. On October 24, 1940, Sister Lucia was ordered by one of her spiritual directors the Bishop of Gurza, to write to the Pope and ask for the consecration of the world with "special mention" of Russia.  The bishop's action was an attempt to get the Pope to do at least something along the lines of a consecration, since during the previous eleven years Pius XI and Pius XII had failed to respond to the repeated requests to consecrate Russia.

Sister Lucia was upset about this instruction as she knew Our Lady had requested only the Consecration of Russia, not the world.  Since she was put under obedience, however, Sister Lucia went to Our Lord in prayer before the exposed Blessed Sacrament to ask Him what she should do.

Our Lord responded to her that if the Pope did what the Bishop of Gurza had asked for , He would deign to reward this act by shortening the days of World War II, but that it would not bring about world peace, as would the explicit Consecration of Russia by the Pope together with all the bishops.  

On October 31, 1942 and again on December 8, 1942, Pope Pius XII consecrated the world, with an oblique mention of Russia, and Our Lord, thus kept His promise to shorten World War II.

Indirect testimony of this comes 

from Winston Churchill.  

In his six-volume work on WWII, Churchill 

wrote that in early 1943 

(almost immediately after the consecration performed by Pius XII,)

"the hinges of fate" turned in favor of the Allies, 

and that thereafter, the Allies won almost every battle, 

whereas before they had almost always lost.

In May 1952,  The Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Lucia and said,

“Make it known to the Holy Father that I am always waiting the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart.  Without the Consecration, Russia will not be able to convert, nor will the world have peace.”

Thus, 10 years after Pope Pius XII’s 1942 consecration of the world, we have Our Lady reminding Sister Lucia that Russia will not be converted, nor will there be peace, unless and until Russia is consecrated by name.

In a letter of May 18, 1936 she replied,

". . .Recently I was speaking with Our Lord and asked Him why He would not convert Russia without the Pope doing that consecration.  

Jesus replied, 

"Because I want My whole Church 

to recognize that consecration as a 

Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, 

so that later on it will put the devotion 

to the Immaculate Heart beside

devotion to My Sacred Heart."

Thirty-two years later, in 1982, the Vatican's own publication L'Obsservatore Romano published  an interview of Sister Lucia by Father Umberto Maria Pasquale, a Salesian priest, during which she told Father Umberto that Our Lady had never requested the consecration of the world, but only the Consecration of Russia.  With Pope John Paul II consecrating the world again to the Immaculate Heart, Sister Lucia said "The Consecration of Russia has not been done as Our Lady had demanded it..  A year later Pope John Paul II made an Act of Offering wherein he again consecrated "the world" not Russia.

Principal scholars of Fatima agreed in saying that the Consecration of Russia had not yet been done as Heaven wished it. . . . 

There has been a controversy ever since.  Some said Yes, the Consecration of Russia was done while others say no. . . I am of the opinion that it has not.

FATIMA -- DID YOU KNOW PART FOUR

The Reason for the Five First Saturdays

. . . Later, when Lucia was at the convent at Tuy, her confessor, Father Jose Bernardo Goncalves, S.J., wrote Lucia asking her to explain the reason for five First Saturdays of devotion.  Why not nine or fifteen, as these devotions already existed.  

After completing a holy hour in front of the Blesses Sacrament one Thursday morning, Lucia wrote him back:

“When I was in the chapel with Our Lord part of the night of May 29-30, 1930, and I spoke to Our Lord about questions four and five, I suddenly felt myself more intimately possessed by the Divine Presence and, if I am not mistaken, this is what was revealed to me:

“My daughter, the reason [for the Five First Saturdays] is simple.  There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.

2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.

3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, refusing at the same time to 

    recognize Her as the Mother of men.

4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children     

     indifference or scorn, or even hatred of the Immaculate Mother.

5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.

“Here, My daughter, 

is the reason why the Immaculate Heart of Mary 

inspired Me to ask for this act of reparation. . . 

and in consideration of it, to move My mercy 

to pardon souls who have had the misfortune 

of offending Her.  

As for you, 

always seek by your prayers and sacrifices 

to move My mercy to pity for these poor souls.”

Father Joaquin Alonso, who served as the official archivist of Fatima for more than 16 years, until his death in 1981, provided a fascinating commentary on the above five reasons for the Five First Saturdays and how they directly relate to the present time.

The First Blasphemy – Against the Immaculate Conception:  Father Alonso asks, who are those who might commit this offense against the Immaculate Heart of Mary?  He answers, “In the first place and in general the Protestant sects who refuse to receive the dogma defined by Pope Pius IX and who have continued to maintain that the Blessed Virgin was conceived with the stain of original sin and even personal sins.  The same can be said of the {dissident.}  Eastern Christians, since in spite of their great Marian devotion they too refuse this dogma.”

The Second Blasphemy – Against Our Lady’s Perpetual Virginity:  Although accepted by the Orthodox schismatics, the dogma of Our Lady’s perfect and perpetual Virginity “before, during and after giving birth” is rejected by the majority of Protestants.

The Third Blasphemy – Against Our Lady as the Mother of God and of Men:  Although accepted by the Orthodox Protestants theoretically accept the Divine Maternity of Mary defined at the Council of Ephesus, many do not.  Moreover, Protestants as a whole refuse to recognize Her as the Mother of men in the Catholic sense, which implies Her co-redemption and Her role as Mediatrix of All Graces.

The Fourth and Fifth Blasphemies – The Perversion of Children Against Our Lady, and the Desecration of Her Images:  Enemies of Our Lady strive to inculcate indifference, scorn and even hatred in children for the Immaculate Virgin; and they seek to outrage Her in Her holy images.  Thse last two sins are the logical consequences of the first three, and often go together with them.  Scorn for the Immaculate Virgin and the disrespect of Her Holy Images born from Protestantism is passed on to the children of those in these false religions.

Tragically, today these crimes and outrages against the Immaculate Heart of Mary are by no means restricted to non-Catholics only.  The ignorance and coldness exemplified in these five types of blasphemies are not characteristic of many Catholics as well.  Since the time of the Second Vatican Council, all too many Catholics—including a frightening number of clergy and religious—have disregarded these great Marian truths reiterated by Almighty God Himself. . .

. . . Clearly the Five First Saturdays of Reparation is an important devotion for our time, and is needed now more then ever, especially since Lucia herself reminds us that without reparation, many souls will be lost.

Our Lady of La Sallette

September 19, 1846

“The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, and the priests have become cesspools of impurity. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the priests and to those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again! The sins of those dedicated to God cry out towards Heaven and call for vengeance, and now vengeance is at their door, for there is no one left to beg mercy and forgiveness for the people. There are no more generous souls; there is no one left worthy of offering a stainless sacrifice to the Eternal for the sake of the world. . .

“All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principal to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds. . . 

   “The earth will be struck by calamities of all kinds (in addition to plague and famine which will be wide-spread). There will be a series of wars until the last war, which will then be fought by the ten Kings of the Antichrist, all of whom will have one and the same plan and will be the only rulers of the world.  Before this comes to pass, there will be a kind of false peace in the world. People will think of nothing but amusement.

The wicked will give themselves over to all kinds of sin. But the children of the holy Church, the children of my faith, my true followers, they will grow in their love for God and in all the virtues most precious to me.  Blessed are the souls humbly guided by the Holy Spirit! I shall fight at their side until they reach a fullness of years. . ."  

  “The demons of the air together with the Antichrist will perform great wonders on earth and in the atmosphere, and men will become more and more perverted. God will take care of His faithful servants and men of good will. The Gospel will be preached everywhere, and all peoples of all nations will get to know the truth. . ."

Akita, Japan weeping Statue of Our Lady

Marian Apparition to 
Sister Sasagawa
1973-1981 Akita, Japan 

The Message of Akita is known and approved by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith as of 1988.

“In order that the world might know his anger, the heavenly father is preparing to inflict a great chastisement on all mankind. I have intervened so many times to appease the wrath of the father. I have prevented the coming of calamities by offering him the sufferings of the son on the cross, his precious blood, and beloved souls who console him forming a cohort of victim souls. Prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices can soften the father’s anger. … 

Even in a secular institute, prayer is necessary. Already souls who wish to pray are on the way to being gathered together. Without attaching too much attention to the form, be faithful and fervent in prayer to console the master.”

Oct. 13, 1973: “My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior. As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. 

It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. 

Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. 

The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. … 

The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres … churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. 

The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior.”

Mother Mary and Easter Morning

Mary was waiting . . .

Mother Mary at the Cross

Her dearest Son—she watched Him die such a cruel death—His Bloody Body—His anguish—His struggling for each breath. . . she heard the people mocking Him as He writhed and groaned hanging there on that tree of wood. Come down from the cross if you are God’s Son. . . She heard His words “Father forgive them, they know not what they do!”  

She heard all the groans and cries of those crucified with her Son. The jeering crowd, the high priests deriding Him. . . the cries of the women who were nearby.  Mary Magdalene’s loud cries as she beheld Her Lord—His friend and apostle John who stood steadily beside her weeping silently.

She could hear Son’s shallow breathing—the gurgles—the panting—the deep groans.  Yet even then He thought of others and not Himself.  “Today you will be with Me in paradise” . . . “Woman behold your son. . . Behold your Mother.”  He thought of her—there was no man to look after her now. . . so the Perfect One—the Beloved Son—gave her one who was not perfect—and she knew from then on her mission would be to be Mother to not only John but to all of us.

“I thirst”, “It is accomplished”, “Father into Your Hands I commend My Spirit”. 

Then silence. . . He was gone . . . the earth rebelled at the creator’s death—the sun darkened, the earth quaked.  People were crying out in alarm and distress—did they realize what they had done?  The bible says they went away beating their breasts. . .

Mary holds Her Crucified Son

Confusion, yelling—all around her—but she heard nothing, saw nothing but Her beloved Son.  They thrust a lance into His Side to insure that He was truly dead.  How Mary’s heart must have revolted at the sight of this last act of cruelty.  His Blood gushed out—the last of His Blood as every drop of His Blood had been spent from the scourging and the crucifixion.  These last few ounces were from His Heart—He gave us all—everything was given. . . He held nothing back. . . Not one drop.

They took Him down from the cross. Mary held her Beloved Son in her arms. . . Her once beautiful boy that she had been given by God at the message of an angel. She had held Him as a baby, watched Him grow into a fine and wonderful young man. She watched Him go to start His mission and had watched as He healed the sick and raised the dead.  She heard His wisdom of His sermons and all of this she kept and treasured in her heart.  

Now He was gone, His lifeless body torn and bloodied lay in her arms.  What must she be thinking?  Her heart breaking. . . the feeling of crying out – Did she say in her heart – Thy Will be done?

Jesus laid in the tomb, Mary arranged His Body herself

His body was taken to a tomb . . .there was no time to anoint Him. . . the Sabbath was near.  She arranged His Body as best she could. . . she kissed Him tenderly. Then the rock was rolled into place.

Silence . . .

Night came and went . . . the sun rose—how can it after such a horrendous thing - how can the world still go on?  All of Jesus’ followers were sick and grieving. . .sorrowing, repenting their cowardice of leaving Him – the women wailing and beating their breasts for what they had witnessed. . . Exhausted was His Mother.  Calm. . . she had cried, her heart still raw from what she had witnessed.  

Her dearest Son lie in the tomb.

But He said He would rise again on the third day.  No one more than Mary, His Mother believed this.  He had told her. . . He had promised.  And she believed.  

She would wait.  

She gave comfort to all those around her.  She knew they could not see the Truth. They were all in shock and anguish.  

She waited. He will come. . . He will come.

Another night came and went—it was still dark, early morning.  She had rested as much as she could though what sleep she could get was plagued by visions of her Son’s agony on the cross. 

Risen Christ

And then—HE WAS THERE!!!  “Mother!” – he spoke so gently to her as she raised her eyes to see her beloved Son.   He was there before her—brilliant as the sun, smiling down upon her with so much love—her heart nearly burst!

“Mother”, He said again.  Mary fell down at His feet and worshiped Him.  He gently took her by the shoulders and raised her up in front of Him.  Then she saw—His face, His body—He was not marred and broken as before.  “Oh my Son!,” she cried.  He held her tenderly in His arms.  “It’s alright now Mother, all is well.” At that He disappeared.  He had others to see and uphold.  Her heart was aching with so much love and joy—she began to sing a song of praise to God—maybe the Magnificat once again!! 

This is how I see the first Easter morning.  

Jesus with His Mother Mary

Jesus loved His Mother so much—He would not have left her to know of His Resurrection by hearsay.  He would have gone to her as a good son would do.  

He IS LOVE - - of course He would!!! 

No, it’s not in the bible – but think about it—not everything that Jesus did was recorded in the bible!  Would not a man go to his mother first?  The one who loved him before anyone else? The one who raised him, protected him, taught him—loved Him. . . It only makes sense. 

As John said—And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. John 21:25

This is my humble and lowly meditation. I thought I'd share it with you so that you may ponder it too.  God bless and keep you.  

Happy Easter!! 

Jesus Christ is Risen today!! Alleluia!!

Our Triumphant Holy Day!!

Alleluia!!

Christ has died 

Christ Is Risen!

Christ Will Come Again!!!!

The Five Fatima Prayers

Angel of Fatima

The two prayers taught by the Angel:

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope in and I love You. I ask pardon for all those who do not believe in You, do not hope in You, do not love You.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the same Son Jesus Christ, present in the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for all the sacrileges, outrages and indifferences by which He Himself is offended.  And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, O beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.

Our Lady of Fatima

The three prayers taught 

by Our Lady:

O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee; my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

O my Jesus, forgive our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need.

O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer this sacrifice to Thee.

Blessed Virgin Mary sermon by St. Sophronius, bishop

Mary, the Mother of  God

From a sermon by Saint Sophronius, bishop

Through Mary 

the Father’s blessing has shone forth on mankind

Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you. What joy could surpass this, O Virgin Mother?  What grace can excel that which God has granted to you alone?  What could be imagined more dazzling or more delightful?  Before the miracle we witness in you, all else pales; all else is inferior when compared with the grace you have been given.  All else, even what is most desirable, must take second place and enjoy a lesser importance.

The Lord is with you.  Who would dare challenge you?  You are God’s mother; who would not immediately defer to you and be glad to accord you a greater primacy and honor?  For this reason, when I look upon the privilege you have above all creatures, I extol you with the highest praise: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.  On your account joy has not only graced men, but is also granted to the power of heaven.

Truly, you are blessed among women. For you have changed Eva’s curse into a blessing; and Adam, who hitherto lay under a curse, has been blessed because of you.

Truly, you are blessed among women.  Through you the Father’s blessing has shone forth on mankind, setting them free of their ancient curse.

Truly, you are blessed among women, because through you your forebears have found salvation.  For you were to give birth to the Savior who was to win them salvation.

Truly, you are blessed among women, for without seed you have borne, as your fruit, Him who bestows blessings on the whole world and redeems it from the curse that made it sprout thorns.

Truly, you are blessed among women, because, though a woman by nature, you will become, in reality, God’s mother.  If He whom you are to bear us is truly God made flesh, then rightly do we call you God’s mother.  For you have truly given birth to God.

Enclosed within your womb is God Himself.  He makes His abode in you and comes forth from you like a bridegroom, winning joy for all and bestowing God’s light on all.

You, O Virgin, are like a clear and shining sky, in which God has set his tent.  From you he comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber.  Like a giant running His course, He will run the course of His life which will bring salvation for all who will ever live, and extending from the highest heavens to the end of them, to will fill all things with divine warmth and with life-giving brightness.

Saint Sophronius, bishopc. 560 – March 11, 638

The Woman who will crush the head of Satan

O Glorious Queen of Heaven and Earth, Virgin Most Powerful, thou who hast the power to crush the head of the ancient serpent with thy heel, come and exercise this power flowing from the grace of thine Immaculate Conception. 

Shield us under the mantle of thy purity and love, draw us into the sweet abode of thy heart and annihilate and render impotent the forces bent on destroying us.

Come Most Sovereign Mistress of the Holy Angels and Mistress of the Most Holy Rosary, thou who from the very beginning hast received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan. 

Send forth thy holy legions, we humbly beseech thee, that under thy command and by thy power they may pursue the evil spirits, counter them on every side, resist their bold attacks and drive them far from us, harming no one on the way, binding them to the foot of the Cross to be judged and sentenced by Jesus Christ Thy Son and to be disposed of by Him as He wills.

Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, demonic assignments, malefice, maledictions and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful; jealousy, treachery, envy; all physical, psychological, moral, spiritual and diabolical ailments; as well as all enticing spirits, deaf, dumb, blind, mute and sleeping spirits, new-age spirits, occult spirits, religious spirits, antichrist spirits, and any other spirits of death and darkness.

I command and bid all the powers who molest me—by the power of God Almighty, in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior—to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting lake of fire, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. 

Amen.

Be Gone Satan!!

Standard Deliverance

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 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 relationships, ministry endeavors, finances, and the work of my hands; and I break them by the power and authority of the risen Lord Jesus Christ. I stand with the power of the Lord God Almighty to bind all demonic interaction, 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 renounce 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 may have held in me. I claim the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, over every aspect of my life for my protection. 

Amen.

Spiritual Battle -- This is War

Binding Evil Spirits

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I stand with the power of the Lord God Almighty to bind Satan and all his evil spirits, demonic forces, satanic powers, principalities, along with all kings and princes of terrors, from the air, water, fire, ground, netherworld, and the evil forces of nature.

I take authority over all demonic assignments and functions of destruction sent against me, and I expose all demonic forces as weakened, defeated enemies of Jesus Christ. I stand with the power of the Lord God Almighty to bind all enemies of Christ present together, all demonic entities under their one and highest authority, and I command these spirits into the abyss to never again return.

I arise today with the power of the Lord God Almighty to call forth the heavenly host, the holy angels of God, to surround and protect, and cleanse with God’s holy light all areas vacated by the forces of evil. I ask the Holy Spirit to permeate my mind, heart, body, soul and spirit, creating a hunger and thirst for God’s holy Word, and to fill me with the life and love of my Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

KEEP GOING THERE IS MORE.... 

From Unseen Warfare: 

You must never be afraid . . . 

that the enemy is too strong against you, 

that his attacks are never ending . . .

You must never be afraid, 

if you are troubled by a flood of thoughts, 

that the enemy is too strong against you, 

that his attacks are never ending, 

that the war will last for your lifetime, 

and that you cannot avoid incessant 

downfalls of all kinds. 

Know that our enemies, 

with all their wiles, 

are in the hands of our divine Commander,

our Lord Jesus Christ, 

or Whose honour and glory 

you are waging war. 

Since He himself leads you into battle, 

He will certainly not suffer your enemies 

to use violence against you and overcome you, 

if you do not yourself cross over 

to their side with your will. 

He will Himself fight for you and 

will deliver your enemies into your hands, 

when He wills and as He wills, 

as it is written: 

‘The Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, 

to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee’ 

(Deut. xxii, 14).
