What Headache?

For several years now I have been praying for other’s headaches with great success. I don’t keep track, but if I had to guess, I would say that 95%-99% of those I pray for with headaches are completely relieved within three minutes.

This all started while doing emotional healing ministry years ago. While helping others receive healing from Jesus you sometimes “bump into” demons that don’t like restoration for their hosts. Quit often these pests will try to disrupt or distract the progress by causing pain, most often…headaches.

This behavior of our enemy pissed me off, because in the early days progress was not as quick coming as it is today, so disruptions were a pain (pun intended). I learned to stop momentarily to deal with the pest and then return immediately to whatever I was doing that caused it enough discomfort to act out. In this “ministry” setting, it was very easy to force the pain to leave and replace it with “peace and calm” because I knew the source was the enemy.

It didn’t take long for me to apply what I learned in the ministry setting to every other setting in life as well. Now, if we can avoid a medical and or theological debate, here is what I learned…if you assume that a headache is caused by “a spirit of darkness”…you can make it go away! You don’t have to learn its name, function, purpose, or when it got there. You don’t even have to hold your right hand in the air with two fingers and a thumb extended with a very serious look on your face, and you especially do not have to raise your voice (people with headaches don’t like when you yell…at that point you become the demon causing them pain).

Very simply, this is what I do…first I ask where their pain is specifically located. Next, very gently (I can’t stress this part too strongly, remember they have a headache and you are probably excited) very gently place your hands on their head where the pain is focused. Then say something to the effect of, “Whatever is causing this pain and pressure, I command you to leave right now in Jesus name”. I will often continue with, “You can’t shrink, you can’t move, you can’t hide…you have to leave completely in Jesus name right now”.

At this point I am done talking to the demon. You have to understand that your authority is perfect, because it is Jesus’ authority you are using! It is kind of like a General talking to a Private…he does not say, “Private, dig that hole…no really, start digging that hole now! I mean it, I command you to pick up that shovel and start digging…pick up that shovel now…okay then, right after lunch you get on digging that hole soldier”. How ridiculous! The General says, “Private dig that hole” and if the Private dares to question him at all it would only be to say, “How deep Sir” and he better be digging while he asks that question.

Now after commanding the to demon to leave, this is when you start praying, “Lord Jesus come, come by Your Holy Spirit and fill my friends head with your presence. Please Lord, push out this pain and pressure and replace it with peace and calm.” This can go on for a minute or so. At this point check in with your friend to see how they are doing.

Usually, by this point something is happening. If it moved…GREAT! You’ve got it on the run and it’s almost finished. Move your hands to the new location and pray, “Lord Jesus, I commanded this thing to not move and it moved, would you please come punish this disobedient thing and make it leave completely at this time?” They know they are in trouble when they are disobedient to Jesus’ authority…even if you are the one expressing it. Two things happen at this point…this one is in trouble and anyone else present is now paying close attention.

If their pain did not move, and is better, but not completely gone, continue praying for another minute, maybe mentioning to Jesus (but more for the hearing benefit of the demon) that you commanded this thing to not shrink, but to leave completely…again disobedience can be punished.

If nothing has changed with their pain at this point, ask Jesus to send an angel to enforce His authority that you spoke. We do not command angels, but they are available for our service…

Hebrew 1:14 “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”

The answer is yes they are if you are wondering. I was once told by a wonderful lady (who has a unique perspective because she lives inside of someone else) that there is nothing better to watch than a human sized angel, pick up by the collar, a demon the size of a battleship, and through it around like it’s nothing. Angels are good help!

After your friend’s pain is all gone, be sure to pray over them to be filled up with the Holy Spirit…we don’t want to leave any of their house empty for something else to come pestering.

I write all of this because this is not a gift for Don, but a power and authority that Jesus intended for all who follow Him. I believe every follower of Christ can have the exact same success I have praying for headaches…and who knows what else!

Now go get ‘em…kick some headache causing demon butt in the name of Jesus! And let us know how it goes after you do.
