From  The Bondage Breaker  -  Neil T Anderson*


There are voices of evil and deceiving spirits who lie in wait to entrap every traveler entering the higher regions of spiritual life.

"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by His authority, I command all deceiving spirits to depart from me, and I renounce and reject all counterfeit gifts and other spiritual manifestations that are not from The God Most High."

"Heavenly Father, you give THE Spirit of power and love and self control. Open my mind to the truth of your Word.  Expose the deceptions, silence the voices, cast out the evil spirits. Come into my life, fill my heart and mind with your love.  Flood it with your peace and wisdom.  Fill me with your Holy Spirit.  I ask and pray in Jesus name, amen.

Each conversation with God will expose and renounce false beliefs and their sources.  The Holy Spirit promises to guide us into all truth.  John 16:13.
