Deliverance ministry

There are specialist advisers on the paranormal in the diocese who can help people who feel they may be haunted, cursed or possessed.

If you believe that you may need help or advice then please do make contact with the Bishop's Chaplain.

Any help with such a matter is free of charge.

Please kindly note that the Diocese of Worcester is only able to respond and assist those who live within its boundaries. If you live outside of the Diocese, you will need to seek help and advice from the Diocese in which you live. You can find details here.

Prayers and bible passages which you may find helpful

A Prayer for Christ’s Protection

Christ be with me: Christ within me;
Christ before me: Christ behind me;
Christ on my right: Christ on my left;
Christ above me: Christ beneath me;
Christ around me: now and ever. Amen.

A Prayer for a Place

Visit, Lord, we pray, this place
and drive far from it all the snares of the enemy.
Let your holy angels dwell here to keep us in peace,
and may your blessing be upon it evermore;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer before Going to Sleep

May the cross of the Son of God,
which is mightier than all the hosts of Satan,
and more glorious than all the hosts of heaven,
abide with me in my going out and my coming in.
By day and by night, at morning and at evening,
at all times and in all places may it protect and defend me.
From the wrath of evildoers, from the assaults of evil spirits,
from foes visible and invisible, from the snares of the devil,
from all passions that beguile the soul and body:
may it guard, protect and deliver me. Amen.

Verses from Psalm 91

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
and abides under the shadow of the Almighty,
Shall say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my stronghold,
my God, in whom I put my trust.’
For he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
He shall cover you with his wings and you shall be safe under his feathers;
his faithfulness shall be my shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of any terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor of the sickness that destroys at noonday.
Because you have made the Lord your refuge
and the Most High my stronghold,
There shall no evil happen to you,
neither shall any plague come near your tent.
For he shall give his angels charge over you,
to keep you in all your ways.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.
