# Spiritual Warfare & Deliverance Scripture Manual

## Verified Research Edition

A source-backed, Christ-centered operational concordance and ministry-use field guide.

**Edition date:** August 2026  
**Operational placements:** 292  
**Unique full-text KJV passage records:** 291  
**Requested minister/ministry roster:** 200  
**Source ledger entries:** 21

> This manual supports biblical study, pastoral discernment, prayer, and accountable ministry. It does not diagnose disease or mental illness, replace licensed care, authorize coercion, or prove that every person in the research roster taught the material collected here.

## Editorial audit and scope

- The earlier claimed 143-page manual could not be located or verified. This edition was rebuilt from the surviving source material and validated data rather than treating that claim as evidence.
- Direct attribution requires a reviewed sermon, transcript, book description, official ministry page, ministry-controlled archive, or comparable source trail. A roster entry alone never creates an attribution.
- Evidence label A marks an explicit cited passage in a reviewed source. B marks a documented ministry theme with a compiler-supplied biblical anchor. C marks a whole-Bible control or safety passage. M marks a later ministry model. D marks a disputed or clinically unsafe claim. R marks a roster-only entry.
- The operational treasury contains full KJV text for 291 unique validated passage records and 292 category placements. It is a curated field guide, not a complete list of every verse ever used by every named minister.
- The 200-name roster is preserved as the requested expansion universe. Directly reviewed, priority-queue, adjacent, ambiguous, and duplicate entries are separated so unsupported claims are not smuggled into the record.
- Ministry-specific terminology is evaluated through whole-Bible controls. Phrases such as legal ground, generational curse, soul tie, strongman, territorial spirit, courts of heaven, rooms, gates, or spiritual roots of disease are not treated as self-authenticating doctrines.
- Full KJV text is used for reproducibility and public-domain practicality. Brief references to other translations may be discussed, but this edition does not reproduce bulk copyrighted NKJV text.
- Clinical and safeguarding boundaries are part of the research method, not an appendix to be ignored. A spiritually framed claim is not allowed to override evidence, consent, medical care, or the protection of vulnerable people.

## Safety and ethical triage

### Emergency first

Stop ministry and obtain emergency help when there is immediate danger, suicidal or homicidal intent, a serious medical event, loss of consciousness, seizure, severe intoxication or withdrawal, or violence.

### No diagnosis by demon label

Do not label schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder, dissociation, PTSD, autism, epilepsy, addiction, dementia, or any medical condition as a demon. Spiritual care may accompany, but never replace, qualified evaluation and treatment.

### Consent and dignity

Participation must be voluntary. Explain what will happen, allow the person to pause or stop, protect privacy, avoid humiliating questions, and never treat manifestations as entertainment.

### No coercive methods

Do not use physical restraint, pain, forced fasting, sleep deprivation, threats, repeated shouting, isolation, destruction of property, or pressure to confess suggested memories. Follow safeguarding and legal duties.

### Medication and treatment

Never instruct a person to stop medication or abandon medical, psychiatric, addiction, or trauma care. Treatment changes belong to the person and the appropriately licensed clinician.

### Abuse and minors

Do not spiritualize abuse or pressure a victim to reconcile with an unsafe person. Follow applicable reporting law and organizational safeguarding policy. Ministry with minors requires trained adults, transparent settings, and legally appropriate consent.

### No demonizing people

Scripture describes a spiritual struggle, but human beings are not the enemy. Reject racism, scapegoating, conspiracy accusation, political dehumanization, and claims that a disliked person or group is inherently demonic.

### Aftercare is required

Provide a concrete follow-up plan: pastoral support, healthy church community, Scripture, prayer, practical boundaries, sleep, nutrition, clinical care when indicated, and a way to report adverse effects.

## Evidence labels

- **A:** Explicit Scripture reference or directly described passage in a reviewed primary, official, or ministry-controlled source.
- **B:** Documented ministry theme; the compiler supplies a closely related biblical anchor, but the reviewed source did not explicitly print the reference.
- **C:** Compiler-selected whole-Bible control, context passage, or safety counterbalance.
- **M:** Later ministry model or interpretive framework; useful for comparison but not identical to explicit biblical wording.
- **D:** Disputed or potentially harmful diagnostic claim retained only for historical documentation and correction.
- **R:** Requested roster entry; no adequate source was reviewed for direct attribution in this edition.

**16** And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
**17** But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
**18** If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
**19** And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
**20** But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
**21** When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
**22** But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
**23** He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
**24** When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
**25** And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
**26** Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

**13** And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
**14** And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
**15** The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
**16** And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

**13** Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
**14** And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
**15** And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
**16** And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
**17** And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
**18** And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

**23** For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
**24** For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

**3** Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
**4** Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

**14** Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
**15** I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
**16** The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
**17** For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
**18** Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
**19** What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
**20** But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
**21** Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

**3** And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
**4** Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
**5** They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

**32** Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
**33** But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
**34** And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

**4** Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
**19** Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
**20** The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

**5** We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
**6** Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
**7** O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
**8** O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
**9** To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
**10** Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
**11** Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
**12** And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
**13** As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
**14** Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
**15** And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
**16** O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
**17** Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
**18** O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

**4** That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
**5** For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
**6** For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

**11** But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
**12** Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

**11** And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
**12** All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
**13** Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

**15** Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

**17** But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
**18** Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
**19** What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

**20** Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
**21** Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

**23** Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

**2** Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi.
**3** And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
**4** And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
**5** And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
**6** And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
**7** Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
**8** And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
**9** If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
**10** And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
**11** Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
**12** O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
**13** And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
**14** Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
**15** And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
**16** To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
**17** Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
**18** And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
**19** And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
**20** And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
**21** And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
**22** And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
**23** For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
**24** And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
**25** And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
**26** And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
**27** Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
**28** And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
**29** And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
**30** So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

**2** And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
**3** Give us day by day our daily bread.
**4** And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
**5** And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
**6** For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
**7** And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
**8** I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
**9** And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
**10** For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
**11** If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
**12** Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

**6** If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

# Newly composed Scripture prayers and proclamations

These are new editorial compositions built from the cited passages. They are not quotations from Derek Prince, Win Worley, Frank Hammond, or any other minister, and they should not be treated as verbal charms.

## Christ's Lordship and Finished Victory

**Scripture anchors:** Matthew 28:18; Colossians 1:12-14; Colossians 2:13-15; 1 John 3:8

Jesus Christ is Lord. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. Through His cross I have forgiveness, and God has delivered me from the authority of darkness into the kingdom of His beloved Son. I stand in Christ's victory, not in fear of the enemy.

## The Cross, Redemption, and Freedom from Accusation

**Scripture anchors:** Romans 3:23-26; Romans 5:8-11; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:7-9

I come to God honestly and without excuse. I confess known sin, receive cleansing through Jesus Christ, and reject condemnation that contradicts the gospel. My confidence is in Christ's sacrifice and God's mercy, not in a formula or my own performance.

## Repentance and Submission to God

**Scripture anchors:** Proverbs 28:13; James 4:7-10; 1 John 1:5-10

I submit myself to God. I renounce agreement with sin, deception, pride, rebellion, and every practice that opposes His Word. I draw near to God, ask Him to expose what must change, and choose obedience by the help of the Holy Spirit.

## Forgiveness and Release of Others

**Scripture anchors:** Matthew 6:12-15; Romans 12:14-21; Colossians 3:12-15

Because God has shown mercy to me, I release every person from my private demand for revenge. Forgiveness does not call evil good, erase wise boundaries, or prevent justice. I surrender judgment to God and ask for grace to walk in truth, safety, and peace.

## Renunciation of Occult Practices and Idolatry

**Scripture anchors:** Deuteronomy 18:9-14; Isaiah 8:19-20; Acts 19:18-20; 1 Corinthians 10:14-22

I renounce every personal involvement in divination, sorcery, spiritism, idolatry, magic, and every covenant or object tied to such practices. I turn to the living God and submit my beliefs, possessions, relationships, and decisions to Jesus Christ and the written Word.

## Truth in the Mind

**Scripture anchors:** John 8:31-32; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Philippians 4:8-9

I refuse lies, obsessive speculation, and thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. I bring my thinking under Christ's truth, test claims by Scripture, and deliberately dwell on what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and worthy of praise.

## Freedom from Fear

**Scripture anchors:** Psalm 56:3-4; Isaiah 41:10-13; John 14:27; 2 Timothy 1:7

When I am afraid, I put my trust in God. He is with me and will help me. Christ gives peace that the world cannot produce. I reject intimidation and receive the Spirit-given pattern of power, love, and sound judgment.

## Identity and Belonging in Christ

**Scripture anchors:** John 1:12-13; Romans 8:14-17; Ephesians 1:3-14; 1 Peter 2:9-10

Through faith in Jesus Christ I belong to God. I am not defined by rejection, shame, trauma, temptation, or a manifestation. I receive the identity Scripture gives: adopted, redeemed, called, and brought into God's people for His purposes.

## Resistance in the Name of Jesus

**Scripture anchors:** Luke 10:17-20; Acts 16:18; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-10

Submitted to God and relying on Jesus Christ, I resist the devil. I do not boast in power or pursue manifestations. I stand soberly in faith, use the name of Jesus with reverence, and keep my joy centered in salvation and relationship with God.

## The Armor of God

**Scripture anchors:** Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8

I choose truth, righteousness, gospel peace, faith, the hope of salvation, the Word of God, and persevering prayer. The armor is not costume language; it is a daily life of allegiance to Christ, practiced in dependence on the Holy Spirit.

## Household Prayer

**Scripture anchors:** Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Psalm 121; John 10:27-30; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3

Lord, establish truth, worship, wisdom, peace, and healthy boundaries in this household. Guard each person from evil, make us attentive to Christ's voice, and teach us to practice Your Word in ordinary life. Give us courage to seek practical help wherever it is needed.

## Healing with Wisdom and Compassion

**Scripture anchors:** Matthew 8:14-17; Acts 10:38; James 5:13-16

Jesus, have mercy and bring healing according to Your wisdom. We pray in faith while also welcoming appropriate medical, psychiatric, and trauma-informed care. Protect this person from shame, pressure, false certainty, and any demand to prove faith by refusing responsible treatment.

## Aftercare and Continuing Freedom

**Scripture anchors:** John 15:1-11; Acts 2:38-42; Colossians 3:1-17; 2 Peter 1:3-11

I will remain in Christ through Scripture, prayer, fellowship, worship, confession, practical obedience, and wise support. I replace former patterns with truth and healthy action. Freedom is nurtured through discipleship, not maintained by fear-driven scanning for demons.

## Corporate Intercession

**Scripture anchors:** 2 Chronicles 7:13-14; Nehemiah 1:4-11; 1 Timothy 2:1-6; Ephesians 3:8-12

God, begin with Your people. Give us humility, repentance, justice, truth, and persevering prayer. We intercede for leaders and communities without demonizing human opponents. Make the church a faithful witness to Christ's wisdom, mercy, holiness, and reconciling power.

## Endurance under Pressure

**Scripture anchors:** John 16:33; Romans 5:1-5; 2 Corinthians 4:7-18; Hebrews 12:1-3

In Christ I can face tribulation without surrendering hope. I fix my attention on Jesus, receive strength in weakness, and continue in patient faith. Suffering is not automatic proof of demonic activity, personal sin, or failed faith; God remains present and faithful.

## Dr. Marcus Haggard

**Research status:** Directly reviewed - LHBC ministry-controlled archive

**Reviewed emphasis:** Mind protection, armor, prayer in the Spirit, family prayer, truth, binding/loosing, and disciplined thought.

**Source IDs:** S03

**Scriptures surfaced:** 1 Corinthians 2:16; Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 1:14; Proverbs 13:22; Ecclesiastes 6:2; Job 27:16-17; Proverbs 10:4; John 6:29; Luke 21:19; John 8:32.

**Editorial evaluation:** Useful mind and family emphasis. 'Twenty-one spirits of God' and loosing-spirit terminology are labeled as interpretive constructs.

## Phillip Morris

**Research status:** Directly reviewed - LHBC ministry-controlled archive

**Reviewed emphasis:** Repentance, rebellion, curses, direct deliverance, subconscious mind, and multiple-personality claims.

**Source IDs:** S05

**Scriptures surfaced:** The reviewed catalog summary does not print a complete Scripture list.

**Editorial evaluation:** His equation of MPD/DID presentations with evil spirits is not accepted as clinical fact. Ministry must be trauma-informed and coordinated with licensed care.

## Gene and Earline Moody

**Research status:** Directly reviewed - LHBC manual index and prayer chapter

**Reviewed emphasis:** Large topical manual: general warfare, fear, pride, rebellion, lust, unbelief, rejection, occult, curses, house cleansing, mass ministry, and maintenance.

**Source IDs:** S06, S07

**Scriptures surfaced:** Proverbs 18:10; Mark 16:17; Luke 10:19; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-18; James 4:7; 1 John 4:4-14; Revelation 12:11, plus the extended topical concordance.

**Editorial evaluation:** Valuable as a historical topical index. Diagnostic and 'legal right' language is separated from explicit Scripture.

## Bill Subritzky

**Research status:** Reviewed at official ministry-resource level

**Reviewed emphasis:** Authority in Christ, Holy Spirit power, yielding to Christ, healing and deliverance, forgiveness and relational keys.

**Source IDs:** S14

**Scriptures surfaced:** Exact references were not printed on the reviewed landing page.

**Editorial evaluation:** Theme-level attribution only in this edition.

## Peter Horrobin

**Research status:** Reviewed at official ministry/publisher level

**Reviewed emphasis:** Scriptural foundation, Great Commission, discipleship, safe practice, healing/deliverance, and land/building ministry.

**Source IDs:** S15

**Scriptures surfaced:** Exact references were not printed on the reviewed product page.

**Editorial evaluation:** Strong safe-practice emphasis; land/building cleansing remains a later model, not a universal biblical command.

## Neil T. Anderson

**Research status:** Reviewed at official ministry-stream level

**Reviewed emphasis:** Identity in Christ, truth, mental strongholds, forgiveness, repentance, submission/resistance, authority, and discipleship.

**Source IDs:** S16

**Scriptures surfaced:** James 4:7 and identity/renewal passages are central in reviewed official summaries.

**Editorial evaluation:** Useful truth/identity/discipleship balance; exact source extraction remains an expansion task.

## Mike Connell

**Research status:** Reviewed at official ministry-resource level

**Reviewed emphasis:** Entry, curses, bondages, direct commands, wounded heart, beliefs, discernment, house prayer, and aftercare through Word and prayer.

**Source IDs:** S17

**Scriptures surfaced:** Exact references await transcript-level extraction.

**Editorial evaluation:** Theme-level attribution only; avoid converting experiential categories into diagnoses.

## Ed Murphy

**Research status:** Reviewed at publisher-description level

**Reviewed emphasis:** World, flesh, and devil; biblical/theological foundations; practical ministry; dangers and pitfalls.

**Source IDs:** S18

**Scriptures surfaced:** Exact references were not printed in the reviewed description.

**Editorial evaluation:** Included as a broad evangelical control against demon-only explanations.

## Charles H. Kraft

**Research status:** Reviewed at publisher-description level

**Reviewed emphasis:** Authority, resisting oppression, psychological/spiritual differentiation, and counseling aftercare.

**Source IDs:** S19

**Scriptures surfaced:** Exact references were not printed in the reviewed description.

**Editorial evaluation:** The counseling/aftercare and differential-assessment emphases are retained.

# Interpretive model matrix

## Authority in Jesus' name

**Classification:** Directly explicit

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Matthew 10:1; Luke 9:1; Acts 16:18

Use under Christ's lordship, with humility and consent.

## Armor of God

**Classification:** Directly explicit

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Ephesians 6:10-20

A lived pattern of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, Word, and prayer.

## Submit to God and resist the devil

**Classification:** Directly explicit

**Biblical anchors or controls:** James 4:7

Submission and repentance come before resistance.

## Testing spirits

**Classification:** Directly explicit

**Biblical anchors or controls:** 1 John 4:1-6; 1 Corinthians 12:10

Test doctrine, confession, fruit, facts, and accountability.

## Binding and loosing

**Classification:** Explicit phrase; disputed scope

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Matthew 16:19; 18:18

Do not assume every later formula is contained in the phrase.

## Binding the strong man

**Classification:** Explicit metaphor

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Matthew 12:29; Mark 3:27

Christ's kingdom victory is primary; avoid speculative demon hierarchies.

## Legal ground / legal rights

**Classification:** Ministry model

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Often linked to Ephesians 4:27; Matthew 5:25-26

Useful shorthand for unresolved sin only if not turned into rigid demon law.

## Generational curses

**Classification:** Mixed biblical data; later ritual model

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Exodus 20:5-6; Ezekiel 18; Galatians 3:13

Distinguish consequences and learned patterns from personal guilt; center on Christ.

## Soul ties

**Classification:** Later relational model

**Biblical anchors or controls:** 1 Samuel 18:1; 1 Corinthians 6:16

Scripture describes bonds and one-flesh union but not a universal cord-cutting ritual.

## Territorial spirits and mapping

**Classification:** Limited narrative basis; later strategy

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Daniel 10:13,20

Pray for places and leaders without confident maps or demonizing populations.

## Cleansing houses/objects/land

**Classification:** Mixed narrative and pastoral practice

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Acts 19:19; Deuteronomy 7:25-26

Owners may renounce their own occult materials; avoid superstition and unlawful destruction.

## Loosing spirits of God

**Classification:** Later ministry model

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Often linked to Matthew 18:18 and Isaiah 11:2

Pray for the Holy Spirit's work rather than treating divine attributes as controllable entities.

## Courts of heaven

**Classification:** Later prayer model

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Often linked to Daniel 7; Zechariah 3; Hebrews 12

Not required for deliverance; avoid elaborate formulas that overshadow Christ's completed mediation.

## Demon lists/groupings

**Classification:** Experiential taxonomy

**Biblical anchors or controls:** No canonical master list

May organize observations but must never become diagnosis or substitute for discernment and care.

## Schizophrenia/MPD as demons

**Classification:** Disputed and unsafe diagnostic claim

**Biblical anchors or controls:** No biblical text diagnoses modern psychiatric disorders

Reject as medical diagnosis; require licensed psychiatric and trauma-informed care.

## Talking with/interrogating demons

**Classification:** Narrative examples but no universal method

**Biblical anchors or controls:** Mark 5:9; Luke 8:30

Do not rely on alleged demon testimony, prolong manifestations, or create spectacle.

# Closing editorial statement

The governing center of this manual is Jesus Christ, the gospel, the written Word, repentance, forgiveness, truth, prayer, holiness, love, and accountable discipleship. Spiritual warfare is never permission to abandon evidence, shame suffering people, invent certainty, or turn human opponents into demons.

This edition is a verified research foundation for continued source transcription and expansion. It does not claim that every surviving sermon or book by all 200 requested names has been exhaustively reviewed.
