OUR SECRET WEAPON

Pleading the Blood of Jesus 


“Pleading the Blood of Jesus” (that is, Applying the Blood of Jesus) is both a defensive prayer for protection and an offensive weapon for deliverance. 

 A Prayer for Protection 

Evil spirits cause people to behave badly. Therefore, we “plead the Blood of Jesus” for protection -- protection from evil spirits and from people under their influence. Everything we cover with the Blood of Jesus is protected. We “plead the Blood of Jesus” on our loved ones, our homes, our property... on everything we want protected. 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
my spouse and children.” 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
my family, home and property.”

We can prevent the desecration of Catholic churches, schools, cemeteries and statues... by “pleading the Blood of Jesus” on them. This will protect them from diabolical acts of desecration. 

Behind every act of desecration is an evil spirit. Evil spirits, and people under their influence, will avoid anything covered with the Blood of Jesus. 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
my church and on all church property.” 
- etcetera -

A Spiritual Weapon 

Evil spirits can put thoughts in our minds. Evil spirits can project images on our minds. They can also invade our dreams. 

Sex demons can invade our dreams with pornographic thoughts and images of sexual fantasy. I have experienced such attacks early in the morning before fully awake. 

One morning, God gave me a prayer to fight off these attacks. I was inspired to “plead the Blood of Jesus ‘on my mind, and on every thought in my mind.’” And it worked. 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on my mind. 
I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
every thought in my mind.” 

One morning, it was more than a dream. It was an intense seduction that was difficult to resist. I used the prayer God had given me for such attacks; but this time, it wasn’t enough. Then I was inspired to “plead the Blood of Jesus ‘on every evil spirit attacking my mind and body.’” And it worked. My mind cleared, and I felt my body ease... 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
every evil spirit attacking my mind 
and body.” 

“Pleading the Blood of Jesus” is Our Secret Weapon 
Against the Attacks of the Enemy.

MANY THOUGHTS ARE SPIRITS

 
Thoughts come from three places:
the subconscious mind, God,
and the Devil.

The holy angels are messengers; they carry messages from God to us. The fallen angels (a.k.a., evil spirits, demons) are also messengers, but of evil. Messages from angels -- both holy and fallen -- come to us as “thoughts.” 

Angels and demons can put thoughts
in our minds.
Angels and demons can also project images
on our minds. 

One day while praying the Rosary, I was distracted by a sudden image in my mind; it was pornographic and disturbing. Suddenly I realized I was being attacked. It was an evil spirit projecting an evil image on my mind.

The Devil does not want us to pray to God. And the Devil is afraid of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Evil spirits will attack our minds with all kinds of distractions. They can also cause us to become drowsy and fall asleep during prayer -- especially during the Rosary. 

God’s angels and Satan’s fallen angels are engaged in “spiritual combat.” This spiritual combat takes place in the “minds” of men -- and in the “heavens” above them (Revelation 12:7-9). 

Satan assaults our minds with temptations, obsessive thoughts and evil images... These evil thoughts and/or images enter our minds through Satan’s messengers, the evil spirits. We cannot stop temptations -- but we can chase away evil, obsessive thoughts and images. We can chase away the evil spirits: 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on my mind. 
I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
every thought in my mind.” 

“I plead the Blood of Jesus on 
every evil spirit attacking my mind 
and body.” 

Use these spiritual weapons when you are harassed by impure thoughts, attacked with strong temptation, tempted to commit sin… when thoughts distract you during Mass, interfere with your prayer life, torment you during the night, preventing a good sleep… when you are afflicted with depressive or obsessive-compulsive thoughts… when your thoughts falsely accuse you of wrongdoing… when your thoughts are overly critical of yourself… when your thoughts become confused or “out of control”… when your thoughts are not your own…

Many negative, self-defeating, self-destructive thoughts come from evil spirits. If we do not reject them, we own them -- and when they become ours, we give them life. We give them power over us. And when we give voice to these negative, self-defeating, self-destructive thoughts from evil spirits, we can curse ourselves, and others. There is power in the spoken word.

Victims of demonic attack often wonder if the thoughts filling their heads are really their own. Have you ever wondered about those witty, biting comments that suddenly “come to mind” -- and roll off your tongue -- during a heated argument? Have you ever wondered about those perfect responses that cut so deep?

Why do people say horrible things -- things they really don’t mean -- during a heated argument? How can this happen within the security of a loving home, a faithful family? How do people know what buttons to push?

Evil spirits whisper comments in our ears, and we use them to hurt one another. Evil spirits cause confusion, misunderstandings, arguments, fights, division… and war.

Evil spirits inflame passions, inspire criminal behavior, provoke violence… suggest and embolden sacrilegious acts. Behind every act of desecration is an evil spirit!

Our struggle is not with flesh and blood
(Ephesians 6:12). 
We are caught in a spiritual war --
a war for the souls of men.
