Prayer Against Santería and Voodoo | Bride Movement

Santeria and Voodoo are not folklore. They are organized occult systems with real spiritual mechanisms. What makes them particularly oppressive is that they work through soul ties, spiritual bonds that are ritually constructed to attach a person's soul to the one who sent the curse, to the objects used in the ritual, and to the demonic entities invoked to carry it out. If you want to understand the system itself first, start with what Santeria actually is. A person under this kind of attack is not dealing with bad luck. They are dealing with something that was intentionally built and sent.

Dr. Preston Bailey developed this prayer to address that specific architecture. It is not a general prayer for protection. It is a targeted set of declarations built to do two things.

First, it renounces the curse at its root, severing every legal tie the enemy holds through rituals, ceremonies, objects, priests, and Orishas. Second, it reclaims the ground that rightfully belongs to you under the authority of the blood of Jesus Christ and the victory He accomplished at Calvary two thousand years ago.

There are two models. The first is for personal renunciation, for someone who has been targeted by or has had personal contact with these practices and needs to legally sever every tie. The second is for active spiritual warfare, for someone standing against ongoing attack and invoking the full authority Christ purchased on the cross.

Both prayers are grounded in four specific scriptures: 2 Corinthians 4:4, John 16:8, Matthew 16:16-18, and Colossians 2:15. These are not decorative references. They are the legal basis for the authority being exercised in the prayer.

Before you pray, understand the order of operations. Renunciation always comes first. You cannot fight from a position you have not first legally vacated. If you or someone you are praying for has had any contact with Santeria or Voodoo, whether through personal participation, exposure to objects, ceremonies, being targeted by someone who hired a practitioner, or generational inheritance, you must renounce it before you do anything else.

After renunciation, take the Sword of the Spirit and cut every tie.

• With the object or objects used in the ritual (bread, shells, or anything else)
• With the priest or priestess who performed the ceremony
• With the rituals and ceremonies themselves
• With any person involved in sending the curse, including anyone who hired a Santero to curse you
• With the Orisha Elegua and any other spiritual entities invoked

Once those ties are severed through declaration, the prayer models do the work of claiming what the cross already accomplished.

One note on preparation. Do not rush this. The prayers are short. What they do is deep. Come into this having understood who you are in Christ, what authority you carry, and why renunciation is not optional. That is exactly what the BMI healing journey walks you through before you reach this prayer.

Both prayer models, the full text, the supporting scripture, and the teaching that surrounds them, live inside the BMI healing journey. This was a deliberate decision, not a limitation.

For years these prayers were available as standalone downloads. They were powerful. They were also being prayed by people who had no foundation for the authority behind them, no understanding of what they were severing or why, and no pathway to walk out the freedom afterward. A prayer prayed without that foundation can produce momentary relief. Without roots, the relief does not hold.

The journey gives the prayer its infrastructure. When you reach this prayer inside the journey, you will not just read the words. You will know exactly what you are doing, why it works, and what to do with the freedom on the other side.

We built three BMI healing journeys because we saw what was missing. The prayers were right. The order of operations was right. But people were picking up individual tools without the training to use them, and they were not getting the lasting results the prayers were designed to produce.

A prayer like this one is a precision tool. The authority behind it is rooted in the finished work of Jesus, and it lands in its full weight when the person praying it understands what they are renouncing, who they are in Christ, and where this prayer fits inside the larger battle plan. This kind of inner healing and deliverance training is exactly what the journey provides: the teaching, the training, the sequence, and the prayers in the right order.

The prayers are still free. Free always was, free still is. The only thing that changed is where they live.

Both prayer models by Dr. Preston Bailey, along with the full teaching and the supporting scripture, are waiting for you inside the right BMI healing journey. There is no cost to access them. What it takes is two minutes and the willingness to start.

Take the free BMI Healing Assessment. It is confidential and takes about two minutes. It points you to the right journey for where you actually are, not where you assume you are. The prayer is one of the assignments inside. You can also browse BMI's free prayer resources any time. When you reach this prayer inside the journey, everything you just read on this page will make complete sense.

You were not put here to be bullied by a defeated kingdom. The victory was purchased. The prayer is ready. The journey is how you walk into it.

Is this prayer still available for free?
Yes. Both prayer models by Dr. Preston Bailey are available at no cost inside the BMI healing journey. They have not been removed. They have been placed inside a structured journey so they can be used the way they were designed to be used.

Do I need to be part of a church to use this prayer?
No. The BMI healing journey is available to anyone. You do not need a church membership or prior experience with inner healing and deliverance ministry.

What if I have already prayed this prayer before?
That is not a problem. Many people have. If the freedom you experienced did not hold, or if you still feel something is unresolved, the journey will help you understand why and walk you through it properly.

Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Prayer Model #2 specifically addresses praying on behalf of yourself and others. The journey includes instruction on how to use intercessory prayer tools like this one.

What is the BMI healing journey?
It is a structured, free pathway that walks you through the teaching, training, and prayer tools in the order that produces real and lasting freedom. There are three journeys designed for different starting places. The assessment tells you which one is right for you.

Who is Dr. Preston Bailey?
Dr. Preston Bailey is a minister and author who developed these prayer models as practical tools for those dealing with occult oppression, specifically Santeria and Voodoo. His work is taught and preserved inside the BMI healing journey curriculum.
