Preparations and precautions

This is a basic step by step outline of how to go about a self deliverance. This is not a complete set of instructions that will work for everybody, and if you need to be freed from heavier bondages, you may be better off consulting with an actual deliverance minister if you are able to locate one. These instructions will give you a good idea of how to drive demons out of yourself. It is recommended that you read up further on this subject before attempting to run yourself through a deliverance.

The limits of self-deliverance: Self deliverance is very helpful in many situations where a deliverance minister isn't available to minister to you, and you can be set free from many bondages simply by running yourself through a self deliverance. However, it can be limited if compared to a regular deliverance session.

Precaution: If you have come out of heavy or active involvement in the occult or Satanism, you would be better off seeing somebody else to minister deliverance to you (an experienced deliverance minister), because the demons encountered in those situations are usually much stronger, and are best off handled by somebody else.

If you begin to feel like you are losing control as a demon manifests, then stop, and seek help from an experienced deliverance minister.

Pre-deliverance prayer: As with any deliverance, it is good to pray that the Holy Spirit will show you what the roots to the problem are, and what needs to be done. Pray for His continual guidance and strength during the deliverance session. It is often helpful to ask God to send angels to assist in the deliverance. They can play a powerful role in helping you flush the demons out.

Warning to non-believers: Deliverance is for believers (Matthew 15:22-28), and is not fit for unbelievers (those who are outside the covenant). If you aren't a Christian, I wouldn't even attempt a deliverance, because it's like stirring up a hornet's nest. First accept Jesus, then seek deliverance. This way, you can prevent the demons from returning with several more even worse evil spirits as Jesus warns in Matthew 12:43-45. If you aren't a believer, I wouldn't even try to cast a demon out of anybody; as we can see in Acts 19:13-16, it's not wise to cast demons out if you aren't a child of God! They did not have authority in Jesus because they were unbelievers and 7 men got thrown out of the house naked and beaten by the demon. As you can see, it's not wise or safe to attempt a deliverance without Jesus in your life!

Prayer and fasting: Prayer and fasting always helps in preparing you for a deliverance. Jesus said that some kinds of demons will only come fourth through prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting builds your faith to the higher levels that is required to cast some demons out.
