Prayer to take authority	Mario	Thursday, December 17, 2009
Question: Is this prayer okay: "In the Name of Jesus, I take authority and I bind all powers and forces of evil in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. 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 and I seal all of us in the protection of Your Precious Blood that was shed for us on the Cross. 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. 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, our homes and our lands. And we thank you Lord Jesus for You are a faithful and compassionate God. Amen.’’
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Mario: The prayer is fine, but needs a few minor edits (see below): "In the Name of Jesus, I take authority and I bind all powers and forces of evil in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire that have come against myself and my family. 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 and I seal myself and my family in the protection of Your Precious Blood that was shed for us on the Cross. Mary, our Mother, we seek your protection and intercession with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for myself and my family, and surround us with your mantle of love to discourage the enemy.

In the Name of Jesus I bind and command all the powers and forces of evil to depart right now away from myself and my family, our home and our land. And we thank you Lord Jesus for You are a faithful and compassionate God. Amen.’’ You cannot take such authority for all of us. You can take authority for yourself and your family, including extended family. That is why I changed the words to myself and my family. The part I struck a line through was because you already made a binding statement in the first sentence. If this prayer is to be said at prayer meeting of many families, then the myself and my family can be replaced with -- each of us and our families; and then the "our home and our land" will be plural -- "homes" and "lands".
