I bind unto myself today 

the strong name of The TRINITY.

By invocation of the same

the Three in ONE ~ and ONE in Three.

The BLOOD of JESUS covers me,

The BLOOD of JESUS covers me.

CHRIST be with me, CHRIST within me,

CHRIST behind me, CHRIST before me,

CHRIST beside me, CHRIST to win me;

CHRIST to comfort and defend* me.

I bind unto my self today 

the strong name of The TRINITY… 

( repeat stanza 1 )

CHRIST beneath me, CHRIST above me,

CHRIST in safety, CHRIST in danger* ;

CHRIST in hearts of all who love me,

CHRIST in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto my self today 

the strong name of The TRINITY… 

( repeat stanza 1 )

Against the demon snares of sin

   the vice that gives temptation force

   the fantasies*  that war within…

   hostile spirits+ that mar my course.

I bind unto my self today 

the strong name of The TRINITY… 

( repeat stanza 1 ) 

Few* or many, far or nigh,

in every place and in all hours

Against their fierce hostility,

I bind to me GOD’S*  Holy Powers.

 I bind unto my self today 

the strong name of The TRINITY… 

( repeat stanza 1 )

  

Against all satan’s spells and lies*

Against false words of heresy,

Against the doubt that causes fear*…

The cries of self I will not hear.

I bind myself unto The LORD*

The BLOOD of  JESUS, The Living WORD,

By invocation of HIS+ Name

Eternal SON+, ever the same.

                 

Against the wizard’s evil craft

Against the death wound and the burning,

The choking wave, the poisoned shaft…

Protect me, CHRIST, till Thy+ returning.

I bind myself unto The LORD*

The BLOOD of JESUS, The Living WORD,

By invocation of His+ Name

Eternal SON+,  ever the same.

Beating the Strongman
Step 5

Let us hear the Words of The LORD:

But if I cast out devils by the SPIRIT of GOD,
then the Kingdom of GOD is come unto you.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house,
and spoil his goods,
EXCEPT HE FIRST BIND THE STRONG MAN?
and then he will spoil his house.

He that is not with ME+ is against ME+;
and he that gathereth not with ME+
scattereth abroad.
Matthew 12:28-30

Our LORD JESUS CHRIST gives us the power to attain spiritual victories. That is why HE+ gave us instructions in verses like the ones in Matthew.

Verily I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in Heaven.

Again I say unto you,
That if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of
MY+ FATHER which is in Heaven.
Matthew 18:18,19


We have the strength to win, the ammunition needed for victory to defeat of the devil and his demons. By the Blood of The LORD JESUS CHRIST we go forth to battle with spiritual strongmen in HIS+ Name… having carefully fulfilled our obediences to The LORD. (YES! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! ) We know the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Here, then, is an adaptation of a prayer found on page 69 of Prayer from Christian Word Ministries, 428 Southland Drive, Lexington, KY 40503. That ministry lists a web site at www.christianword.org.
