1. Have a brief conversation about the reason the person is there for ministry.
2. Start with general prayer and worship. Focus on God and His goodness, power, and so on.
3. Bind powers over the area and break assignments from powers in the air to demons in the person. Ask for angelic protection (Heb. 1:14).
4. Ask and receive by faith the gifts of the Spirit needed to minister.
• Too many people commanding different spirits at the same time causes confusion for everyone, especially the person being ministered to.
• Leadership will often shift as the Holy Spirit directs.
• Husbands are often the most effective in commanding spirits to leave their wives, with the support of others.
1. Address the spirit by name, and if its name is not known, address it by its function. You will learn either the name or the function of the demon through discernment of the Holy Spirit or by the demon telling you its name. You can also ask it its name as Jesus did when He cast out demons (Luke 8:30).
2. Repeatedly remind these spirits that your authority is given to you by Jesus Christ, who is far above all rule and authority (Eph. 1:21).
3. Remind the spirits of their fate according to Revelation 20:10 and Job 30:3–8. Use the statement “The Lord Jesus Christ rebukes you” as a battering ram.
4. It is helpful to harass the demons to confess that Jesus Christ is their Lord.
5. Ruler demons often can be badgered for more information. You badger by commanding the evil spirits to release information that is vital to the deliverance. It is similar to interrogating enemy prisoners.
6. At times you will command the ruler demon to go, and then you will clean out the lesser demons under him. If that does not work, reverse the tactics. Start with the lesser demon and work your way up. You can simply say, “I command all spirits operating under the ruler to come out in the name of Jesus.”
7. Bind and separate interfering spirits as God leads.
8. There is no need to shout at demons since the battle is not in the flesh but in the spirit.
9. Use the phrase, “Come out!”
10. Close all open doors through which the enemy could return with seven others more wicked (Matt. 12:43–45), and pray for the person to be filled with the Holy Spirit to seal their deliverance. Close out by praying for angels to protect and guard the person, and cover them with the blood of Jesus.
