Prayers That Rout Demons: Prayers for Defeating Demons and Overthrowing the Powers of Darkness

There are not a lot of testimonies here of how the prayers in the book actually work, so here is mine. For years I experienced a lot of setbacks, depression, and sickness. I also experienced strange dreams, and strong urges in the middle of the night (between 2 and 3 am), a couple of times a week to masturbate even though I did not want to do it. I experienced depression occasionally for months at a time triggered by repeated failed romantic relationships that went on into my 40s no matter what I do to find the right person or do the right thing in relationships with sound advice even. I was repeatedly feeling rejected which I learned open door for me to be attacked by demons, including spirit wives (marine spirits), which I know nothing of until only recently. In the midst of these afflictions, I felt I was called to created comic books, novels, and animation about spiritual warfare and other biblical themes. Little did I know the warfare I would experience in my own life! Around 2016, a seer prophet visited my church and prophesied for the leadership team. He turned to me and said he saw "The enemy has been trying to take you down with your family, and attack you in your mind..." He said some other things that were amazing and encouraging, and details about me and my family that no one knew in the room. He was more accurate than I expected, but I did not fully understand what he meant about being attacked through my family. A few months later while doing research about my family background, I found out that one of my forefathers practiced a form of witchcraft. I realized this is what was causing several people in my family to experience depression and mental breakdowns, including myself. In late 2017 I told my pastor about the concern about my findings, so to help me he emailed a pdf copy of this book Prayers That Rout Demons by John Eckhardt. This began my journey into learning about taking power and authority over the demons that were oppressing me for years. I thought my oppression and attacks was the normal part of a Christian's life, but found it odd and discouraging that I was getting little process in life, constantly defeated and depressed, very few prayers being answered, while most people around me, Christian and non-Christians seemed to be moving forward in life. All while I was alway serving in church, showing honor, respect, and compassion to others, and attempting to create Christian books about spiritual warfare, delayed by more than 10 years. I devoured this book by praying sections every day and every night for specific situations and gradually started to see improvements in my life. I also found the audio versions and YouTube and played along with it or as I went to sleep. I was surprised to see prayers against the sexual sin of masturbation in there on page 96 because I could never get a straight answer from Christians whether it was considered a sin or not. When start praying those prayers every night before going to sleep, the urge to masturbate stopped! I learned about Spirit spouses can also cause this to happen so I also prayed those prayers to rebuke the women trying to sleep with me in my dreams. As I continued praying from this book there are sections for deliverance from depression and oppression with praying in tongues for extended periods of time, and gradually the depression went away. Another thing that began to happen to me because of the prayers in this book that are mostly scriptures put together to form prayers, as I began having dreams that showed me past, present and future events, sometimes in a symbolic way. I would dream of meeting people or situations and I would eventually meet them. Then I would have dreams of rebuking demons, witches, evil people or creatures in the form of dogs and other animals. My spiritual life transformed and I began to feel more energized and confident about my walk with Jesus every day. The enemy still tried to attack me occasionally but I would find the relevant prayers which are mostly lifted from scripture verses, to defeat them and command my situation. I was surprised I never understood the power and authority like this before, even though I was called to create a series of books about spiritual warfare. Finally, I was able to publish my first book in 2019 after much warfare prayers every day and night. There are still some strongholds the enemy is still attempting to latch on to me and keep me from moving forward, but I'm going to keep on fighting until I have victory! I'm tired of the devil beating up me and my family and friends! I've shared this book with several believers I believe God led me to help them fight and bought copies for others as well. I can write more but this review is long enough. So definitely get this book and others by Apostle John Eckhardt. I also have Fasting for Breakthrough and Deliverance, which is a great companion piece because even Jesus Christ said that certain demons and strongholds will not leave unless we pray AND Fast. I was also including prayers from Prayers of War by Ed Cintronelli, which has a different style than John Eckhardt, and some of his prayers may seem strange and revealing, (maybe too revealing), but personally Prayers That Rout Demons is better because he actually sites scriptures next to most of the prayer points, while Cintronelli's book does not in most of them. I hope and pray my testimony will help someone out that and encourage you to get this book to ignite your spiritual life by the power and authority given to you by King Jesus Christ!

I am so glad I purchased this. The way the prayers are organized makes it very easy to find exactly what you need for specific situations. The language is powerful and direct. It’s an incredible tool for anyone serious about intercession and deliverance.

I absolutely love reading this book out loud. So many wonderful prayers. Very powerful.

MUST HAVEEEEE! I see my prayer life getting stronger day by day while reading this book along with the word of course. This is a beautiful way of building confidence and your solid foundation in the word of God. Some of these prayers are so thought provoking because it touches on subjects that we normally don't talk about in the body of Christ. This book is beneficial to take in your study time to get a better understanding of what exact spirit you're dealing with. Most of them are straight forward and have scripture reference which I love. I got a copy for my mom, and she LOVES it! Thank you, Holy Spirit & Thank You John Eckhart for this AMAZING Book!

Good information …,, concise

Great prayer book. Insightful, easy to follow.

I haven't gotten halfway through the book yet, but it has been helpful for me in my prayer life. The book contains hundreds of declarations and prayers which are lumped into themed sections. The majority of them have scripture references. Occasionally the author writes declarations and prayers from Job, which seems a little strange to me. During most of Job, Job's friends are trying to convince him he's done some sort of evil, while he himself complains that God has abandoned him. Text like this hardly seems worthy of extracting powerful prayers and declarations from. This is only my opinion. John Eckhardt has only done it maybe just a couple times so far that I've read. A few times I've cocked my eyebrows to some things that are written in the book until I read the scripture reference. One time early in the book there is a reference to Ephesians 6:8, which should have been 6:18. I've seen that before in other books. Perhaps a better proofreader would actually check such things before printing them. Another reference to the book of Psalms is one verse off. Altogether, I recommend this to anyone who is experiencing defeat at the hands of the enemy. There's a scripture in Proverbs that says that the power of life and death are in the tongue. There is also a New Testament epistle that speaks of renewing of the the mind. Aside from taking dominion over the enemy, this book is also about these two other things. This book, from my perspective, should not be read quickly from cover to cover. It should be read, studied, considered, and spoken aloud in small portions every day. I recommend fasting while reading through this book, but be responsible to your body. I'd hate to hear of someone ending up in the hospital because he didn't eat or drink anything for four days. I couldn't wait to receive this book in the mail, but once I got it, I understood the necessity of progressing slowly through it. It has caused me speak things aloud in my prayer time that I had never thought of or that I had forgotten because of discouragement.

Again, if you want to break strongholds this book is for you to add to your Bible study

Pray Pray very helpful

A handy slightly larger than pocket size book, that I carry with me in my bag. The Bible verses selected are excellent for memorising and praying. One will need to be use the book, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Fantastisk bok om befrielse från de onda och orena andarna.
