Sometimes God may lead you to LAY HANDS ON the person you are praying for, and on occasion Jesus Himself did this (Luke 4:29; 13:11-23; Matthew 8:15) as did the early church (I Corinthians 1:14f; 12:4; II Corinthians 1:21f; James 5:13-16).  Be sensitive to God’s leading in this area and do whichever it is He leads you to do.  One way is not better then the other.  Being obedient to what God would have you do is the determining factor.

QUOTE SCRIPTURE as much as possible (Matthew 4:1-10).  God’s word is more powerful than and words we may use (Hebrews 4:12) and carry much more weight with Satan’s forces.  Our authority is God’s Word (I Jn. 2:14).  Our sword of the Word is our only offensive weapon.  Make sure you encourage the person to quote Scripture every time they are attacked and to keep doing it until the temptation/attack leaves.  It’s our only way of victory.

Playing CHRISTIAN MUSIC during deliverance or at other times in your home is often very helpful for demons don’t like to hear Jesus praised (I Samuel 16:23).  There is power in praise (Psalm 22:3), so use praise in your warfare praying.  You can praise God in prayer or in song during deliverance or afterwards.  Use this whenever attacked.

Write down some of the verses that mean the most to you, especially ones that relate to spiritual warfare.  Carry them with you and memorize them.  This is very important and very helpful..
