Christian Spiritual Warfare: How to Cast Out Demons
82
Do you believe evil spirits (or demons) can dwell in Chrisitans?
See results without votingWould you like to learn more about spiritual warfare and how to cast out demons, just like Jesus did? Learn the simple steps and examples of how to cast demons out of yourself or on behalf of another in Christian spiritual warfare. Discover whether or not it is always a good idea to take the authority and do so.
In the few months that have passed I have been extremely interested in spiritual warfare. I recently read Pigs in the Parlor, which is an awesome book on deliverance, demons, Christian spiritual warfare, casting out demons, and much more. I recommend it to all.
One of the many things that I learned while reading Pigs in the Parlor is that evil spirits (aka demons) can indwell Christians. Yes, Christians. Take a look at the video to the right explaining spiritual warfare and how evil spirits indwell Chrisitans.
The enemy is very crafty and tricky and can enter in to us all in a few different ways. The devil can and will continue to control your ways and thoughts until you decide to take authority over those evil spirits and receive deliverance. Are you ready to take authority with the sword of the spirit and declare all out spiritual warfare on behalf of yourself or a loved one?
Below are some notes and comments in regards to what I read and learned about spiritual warfare and how you can begin putting it to work for you today!
Please note: While all Christians have the authority to do spiritual warfare, I don't recommend just anyone try this without the proper knowledge. While you don't need any special training or skills in the area of deliverance (they can be developed over time), this is just a very small portion of the knowledge needed for deliverance or spiritual warfare. Please pick up a copy of Pigs in the Parlor or other spiritual warfare books to learn more. This is only like a beginners course or recap...
Spiritual Warfare: Rules
In attempting to cast out demons, it is essential to know a few basic rules.
- Let your SPIRIT lead you. Psa 143:10
- Spiritual Warfare is NOT prayer: Spiritual warfare is in addition to prayer. 1 Cor 14:15
- As Christians, we already have the power and authority over the devil! Declare your authority in His name and by the power of His blood. 1Pet 1:18-19, Ro 8:9
- Casting out demons must be replaced with the fruit of the spirit: Before casting demons out, you need to know that it may not always be beneficial to cast demons out of someone. Why? If an enemy spirit is cast out and not replaced with a fruit of the spirit, the enemy spirit can and may re-enter, and bring more bad spirits with; You may actually do more damage than good. Matt 12:43-45
- Talk out loud to the spirit you are assaulting. It may seem awkward, but you will get used to doing it. Mark 5:8
- Do not argue or engage in conversation with a spirit - it is a distraction. You may occasionally ask the spirit to name itself, but you can also just call the spirit by it's nature and it's just as effective. Acts 19:15,16
- Don't stop at one try! Demons will try to deceive you - you must be persistent and resist the tricks of the devil and keep on resisting. Ro 14:17
Spiritual Warfare: Steps (for Self)
The first objective in spiritual warfare is to free oneself. When wanting to cast demons out of self, in addition to above, you must:
- Assault (from outside)
- Reject
- Plead the blood
- Bind
- Command to leave
- Seal with the Name of Jesus
Example of a spiritual warfare prayer:
You demon are a liar. I reject you spirit of rebellion. I am under the protection of the blood of Jesus that He shed on the cross for me and my sins. I bind you and command you to leave, in the NAME OF JESUS.
If you are attempting to cast a spirit out of another that has consented to deliverance (or as a parent, you have the authority over your children as well) you may follow the guidelines of casting demons out of self above.
Spiritual Warfare: Steps (on Behalf of Another)
If you are interested in attempting to cast out demons on behalf of another, you MUST know (in addition to or in contrast to the above rules):
- You can assault the evil spirit from anywhere! You do not always need to be in the presence of the evil spirit you are battling. You can do it from anywhere in the spirit.
- Spiritual warfare on behalf DOES NOT control the will of the person: It only binds the power of demons and releases the will apart from demon interference. 2 Cor 10:3
- Don't talk out loud - do it in the spirit: unless the person you
are attempting to cast the spirit out of understands what is going on
and is willing to work towards filling and replacing those evil spirits within himself with the fruits of the
spirit. You do not always have to speak (talk out loud) in order to declare spiritual warfare. In fact, it's not a good idea if the person does not understand what is going on.

you have taken the bibical way and have shown how God expects us to in accordance to him!!
GOOD HUB AND GOOD WORK!!!!!!!
Demons do exist and I thank you for writing about how to cast them out. Your piece is right on. God Bless You!
Excellent article, Faith. I've heard that it's demonic oppression for christians and demonic possession for unbelievers, am I wrong on this? Any light you can shed on this is appreciated. Thanks.
Continue in Battle, friend. Team Wiseman
I am a believer, I'd been in a constant demonic battle since I was a little girl. I am aware of generational demons that are trying to get me down. God has used me MANY times, I know and believe God has a big purpose in my life... but right now, I need help! I feel demons have taken over my life like I never felt them before, I feel so oppressed, I am actually harming people who love me, and auto-destroying my life (spirit)... I need to cast the demons out of me, can someone give me a # where I can call?
Great post. Thanks for being courageous and letting people know there is a devil out there trying to keep us from God, and working to keep us feeling defeated, and that there are positive ways we can combat him and put him in his defeated place. Remember John 10:10, "the thief (Satan) comes to steal, kill, and destroy; I (Jesus) came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly". Gotta love that.

Spiritual Warfare has been the focal point of Unchained Grace Ministries and Holy Truth Temple of Deliverance. From LA to DC to Baltimore, MD. We work within prisons, the streets and with the homeless. Gangbangers, prostitutes, those considering suicide and the homeless.
A fulltime hardcore deliverance ministry is unlike anything most people are willing to get near. Our Lost Souls of the Night Ministry is on the streets of Baltimore generally from 10PM to 4AM. In this setting, spiritual warfare is no joke when you do it for real as opposed to the computer cowboys who think they got the answers. None of what we do would be possible without Jesus. None of it. Spiritual Warfare is nothing to play with.
You made some excellent points here and speaking from direct experience, readers would do well to read Pigs in the Parlor and to understand one more thing. Your church is not Witness Protection. Do not believe for one second that Satan isn't in the midst running intel ops looking for ways to manipulate. Since we use the term "Spiritual Warfare" we must also realize that those who stand behind the pupit are the hard targets. Further, to understand a war of any kind, it needs to be understood that the objective is the mind of Christ within you. It is your Salvation. Your Deliverance. Your Miracle and your Healing. Protect it.
the devil and his demons are real,my friend andrea and i deal with them nightly. they are the oddest looking creatures youve ever seen ,all shapes and sizes w/wings ,without wings ,big ape lookin things, down to cartoon lookin creatures with odd features , egyption lookin dudes ,and power ranger lookin dudes w/ eye shields, pillar types, horned types , dragon types, and the list goes on ,and we have pics to proove it.they hover over my girlfriend , they get into your head ,you must resist very persistant and ugly to boot . i think they want her? i think they are controlled by the giant one under the house ,the big black dragon lookin ,flying one ,very powerful and fast ,there are so many of them around this house ,i dont know what they all want . they are skeptical because they know we are children of GOD and weve let them know this ther is so much to show and tell everyone about our experiences with these demons and come up with a way to send them back to hell.suggestions ? email me at sfallco@live.com thx and please pray for us ,god bless , dozer
These signs shall follow them that believe....they shall cast out demons.
Hi everyone,
I want to say that demons are very real because after becoming a real Christian, God has put me into intense spiritual warfare.
But one thing I have to comment on is that in the spiritual realm, demons are able to see if you have your spiritual armor on. You must have your helmet of salvation, breast plate of righteousness, shield of faith, shoes of peace, belt of truth and sword, which is God's Word.
@Dozer - I'm not sure if you are living with your girlfriend or fornicating, but any behavior that does not honor God gives ammunition to the enemy. You have to submit to yourself to God RESIST the devil and he'll flee. Draw nigh to God and He'll draw nigh to you. When you resist the devil, you stop fornicating not in your own strength or power but through God's spirit. You have to be serious about it though and say, "God, I'm trying to stop X, Y, Z" and I need help. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, please help me and forgive me of my sins. Wash me and my home with the blood of Jesus Christ." Sincerely ask God and He'll listen. Humble yourself, seek understanding and He will hear your words.
Oh and to the author, I thought this might be a great read for you.

When I first read these teachings, I don't think all my spiritual armor was in tact and I didn't receive the knowledge in the way I should've. But then, about three years later God just brought it to mind and He began revealing to me that the teachings above is what really goes on in the spiritual realm.
Any how, it's always best to go in prayer and ask God what He thinks about it. You may have to fast and pray but it's worth it!
Those things don't always work...especially if you are coming up against the principalities in high places...it's a combination of faith, knowledge and absolute discipline to God and with PRAISE as your most powerful weapon..try it in a big fight..ask God to set you up with a high ranking demon...after 6 to 8 months of intense teaching, you will see that God did hear your petition and has set you up with a worthy opponent that will get you high recognition with Jesus, if you are victorious. But don't stress, you will conquer, because God has already foreseen it as so..amen..
Earnestshub, it may sound like nonsense, but I know by personal experience that demons are real and God is real and their is a spiritual battle going on right now for our souls.
Awesome Hub, really learned a lot and look forward to putting into action. I have been getting my teeth kicked in long enough and want you to know how much I appreciate this. Thank God! God Bless you.

Key three: Move your body. Exercise. Frequently. As with the suggestion about oxygen above, see your doctor before making any changes in exercise routine. A series of short exercise sessions, even for as little as a minute, can make a big difference, especially in the first few days after you release tobacco from your life.

THANK YOU.I HAVE LEARNED FROM HERE HOW TO CAST OUT THE DEMON.DAILY I DO.BUT SO MANY TIMES I WAS TIRED AS IF I FELT THAT DEMON WAS MORE STRONGER THAN ME.NOW I AM STRONG WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS.PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY AS IN MY RESIDENCE VERY OFTEN DEVIL COMES AND DISTURB US.
Please, we need some help with this? I know this sounds crazy but....10 years ago my husband and I went to a conference and my husband witnessed something that we have shared with very few people. (Even a young pastor and his wife were speechless when we shared a published writing from another witness about it.) Recently, I have been "under attack" and am now back in THE WORD and surrounding myself with powerful Praise and Worship. I want to be free of this. I really think "it" wants me to commit suicide. I know it sounds crazy. I believe that I have work to do and I LOVE GOD and JESUS CHRIST is my Savior and I am filled with THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I was in hospital in NZ for seven days.They took me to a ward and it was late I alreay have a neighbor who is a lady and she was really in pain.I closed my eyes and I saw so many demons in our room.They come out of the walls,floor and the silling.I turn towards my neighbor's I saw heaps of men (demon)gathering towards this lady.I am a beleiver and I remeber Jesus casting the demons out into the pigs.I layed in bed and gave my whole person to God and started to cast the demons in Jesus name.Amazingly the demons melt into thin air.Some of them they make a grant noise and disappear.It was like looking at those black and white horror movies.There were so many of them it took me an hour or 2 to clean the room.As soon as I saw Jesus's cross and the room was as light up as the day I could go to sleep.My neighbor was also settled and having a good nite sleep.All the time I was in hospital whoever needed a place to have a good sleep they were directed to my room.This is my first time casting demons in Jesus name.God is good all the time.Love your site.God bless
Thanks for a very useful hub.
I have been casting out demons for some time now, and have experienced several attacks from them on a regular basis. Demons attacks are not a threat to me anymore because no matter how many times they have attacked me they have not physically or spiritually hurt or destroy me. The attacks was infact a stratedgy by demons to scare me so that I must stop destroying and casting them out. On numerous occassions I have received information from the demon possessed people ( after being cleansed)on how demons would be telling them to stay away from me and not listen to what I was saying to them. One 21 year old demon possesses girl literally burned when she tried to attack me at night, when I woke up she was in flames. Earlier that night the demons talked to me through her wanting to know where my powers was located. In response I told her that my powers was with God and if they wanted to destroy me they would have to destroy God first. The best weapon to be demon free is to 'submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you" James 4:7.I have also experienced when entering some churches demons screaming out lound as I enter. The Lord has also annointed me with a gift of recognizing demon posessed people at a distance and everywhere I go. The Name of Jesus is very very powerful. Amen
Plz I need help I am struggling with a demon I can feel it around trying to control me i am getting very weak and don't know what to do if someone could pray form me or help me I would be extremely grateful
Jordan - get help with a pastor. pray with him/her and follow exact steps mentioned in this article. I have seem prayer battling for souls to cast out demons many times. if you really are struggling then do battle your way out!

I have been feeling and evil cloud over me everywhere I go , about 2 months ago I was starting to feel good about myself and wanting to do right by God then all of a sudden my world flipped everything I wanted and believed in got turned around its like the devil wants to get me everytime I work hard to stay with God he works harder to confuse my mind and thoughts and what I want . Please pray for me.
Me and my girlfriend both saw and felt opession from demons. I can't remrember what happened to the one I encountered, I just remember seeing it. My girlfriend actually just simply sang "sin has lots its power" and it went away.
We as Christians constantly face the devil and his minions. But we have something more powerful than them; Jesus. And as long as we have the voice of truth, the gates of hell shall not bring us down.
In the authority of Jesus name rebuke (remove)the spirit of religion, anti christ, doubt, unbeleif.Then rebuke (remove) the spirit of affliction and infirmity . spirit of death and dumb, cancel all generational courses and witches of warlocks off this person, in the authority of Jesus name.Do the same for each of these.

THE DEMONDS ARE CRIPPLING ME
So many churches do not deal with this at all. Great job on laying out, how to cast out demons.
Spot on target. Awesome article! Any church refusing to deal with devils and fallen angels is preaching anothet Gpospel. Can't believe I've found an article of such depth regarding demons on Hub. Hub is all right with me.
Please check this link for someone who agrees and knows exactly what your doing.
Online training for deliverance ministers:
What a load of bull
It is important to Understand that when you Pray to remove demons and curses from someone or somewhere, you are actually taking on those evil entities yourself. If you have not been Given the Gift to do "exorcism", we'll call it, then you will end up demon possessed yourself. This is why many well-meaning Catholic priests ended up homosexual and with serious problems themselves. They took on the demons and curses because men told them they could, but God had never Given them the Gift and with it, the Protection.
By the way, I got a website error when I tried the deliverance ministry link posted by Powerofthecross.

Demons cannot possess or indwell inside of reborn Christians, period. Greater is He that's within us than he that's in the world. A demon can not stand in power in the presence of the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit indwells on the inside of Christians. Christians can be demonicly oppressed, but never possessed.
Very good comment, Pattyg. Makes you take a second look at things and people, doesn't it! The rebirth is not an altar call! To take on "work" that is not yours to do means you have mocked Yeshua and are not Following Him.
First, only in the name of Jesus can someone win in casting out demons, there will NEVER be only one demon. Second, if the person who is possessed does not accept Jesus Christ as their one and only savior there is no hope. Third, you must bind the demon and cast them out and give them specific directions where to go. Forth, DON'T EVEN attempt this if you are not a born again Christian.
Acts 19:15 [One day] the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
Please, i so terribly need to read the book "pigs in the parlour" but cannot buy it from the net because i don't have an account which can facilitate online transactions, and i need this book as soon as possible. I should feel very indebted to the author of this article, or any of the commenters would be so kind as to send me the book in pdf format using my email, laryokeke@yahoo.com. Voted up and beautiful!
I love this i find it intresting and good.
In a book titled Tramp for the Lord, Cooie ten Boom states that if you cast out demons from someone and that person still has unrepentant sin in their life the circle is not closed and the demon can return.
You should also make sure that you have repented of any sin that you may have comitted before you start
What a blessing! For years we have been told that Christians can't have demons, how sad. I'm so glad that you have made this for us to behold. God bless u!, loving, giving people of our Lord Jesus Christ!,,,, ya!
