TakeAuthority

5. In the name of Jesus,
I take authority
and I bind all powers and forces in
the air, in the ground,
in the water, in the underground,
in the netherworld, in nature,
and in fire.

6. 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

7. And I seal all of us in the
protection of Your Precious Blood
that was shed for us on the Cross.

8. 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.

9. 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,

10. our homes and our lands.
And we thank you Lord Jesus, for
You are a faithful and
compassionate GOD.
Amen.

16. APOSTLES CREED

17. I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary.

18. Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended into hell;
On the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven and
is seated at the right hand of
God the Father almighty;

19. From there he will come to judge the living
and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic
Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and the life everlasting.

20. Amen.
