My house is under attack by satan. I need to anoint my house and rebuke the evil devil. I have never even thought about doing this, but I think I need to. What do I use, What do I say? Any thoughts???

God's Word spoken aloud. I just heard this from Beth Moore. When satan hears Gods Word spoken from your mouth he doesn't know the difference and all he hears is God.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
matt 4:10
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
Deut 6: 4- 5, 13

Olive oil. One can purchase it through some christian bookstores or messianic online/catalogue stores.

At Family Christian Store, they have little vials of oil to use for anointing.
As for what prayers to say, do a search on anointing your home. There are lots of sites. That is how I found the prayers that I use. Every time we move into a new house, the first thing we do, even before moving the furniture in, is to anoint the house and every room in it. We also anoint each other and even our pets!

Here is a prayer that was sent to me that has helped me and my sister greatly
Daily Prayer Covering
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Yeshua, I bind, rebuke and bring to no effect: all division, discord, disunity, strife, anger, wrath, murder criticism, condemnation, pride, envy, jealousy, gossip, slander, evil speaking, complaining, lying, false teaching, false gifts, false manifestations, lying signs and wonders, poverty, fear of lack, fear of spirits, murmuring spirits, complaining spirits, hindering spirits, retaliatory spirits, deceiving spirits, religious spirits, occult spirits, witchcraft spirits (including Jezebel, Delilah, and Apollyon), and spirits of AntiMessiah off: <name of person(s)/Place) this night and day in Yeshua’s name.
I bind all curses that have been spoken against us. I bless those who curse us, and pray blessings on those who despitefully use us. I bind all spoken judgments made against us and judgments we have made against others. I bind the power of negative words from others, and I bind and render useless all prayers not inspired by the Holy Spirit, whether psychic, soul force, witchcraft or counterfeit tongues that have been prayed against us.
We are G-d’s children. We resist the devil. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. We put on the whole armor of G-d and take authority over this night day and in Yeshua’s name. Let it be prosperous for us, let us walk in your love L-rd.
The Holy Spirit leads, guides, and directs us this night and day. We discern between the righteous and the wicked. We take authority over Hasatan and all his demons and those people who are influenced by them. We declare Hasatan is under our feet and shall remain there all night and day, in Yeshua’s name.
We are the righteousness of G-d in Yeshua. We are G-d’s property. Hasatan, you are bound from our family, our mind, our body, our home and our finances.
We confess that we are healed and whole. We flourish and are long lived, stable durable, incorruptible, fruitful, virtuous, full of peace, patience and love. Whatsoever we set our hands to do shall prosper for G-d supplies all our needs according to his riches in glory. We have all authority over Hasatan and all demonic forces, all demons and all beasts of the field.
Father, we pray for the ministry positions you have for us. Anoint us Father for all You have called us to do. We call forth divine appointments, ask You to open doors of opportunity, G-d-ordained encounters and ministry positions.
We claim a hedge of protection around us throughout this night and day and ask You to dispatch angels to surround us and put them throughout our house, around our cars, souls and bodies. We ask You to send Your angels to protect our house from any intrusion and to protect us personally from any harmful demonic, or other physical, mental or financial attacks.
We pray for the Peace (shalom) of Jerusalem.
We pray this prayer in the name of Yeshua. Amen.

As I prayed, I could feel the rush of Yeshua's power in those words, and it was as if a weight were being lifted from my person, and from our house.
PRAISE JESUS!
Thank you for forwarding this prayer. God is good!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - right out of the grocery store. Extra Virgin because it's the first pressing of the olives - the purest. For me, it makes me think of Jesus being the Son of God, the Purest.
Beyond that, I go from room to room, marking the door frames and the window frames. I say the following:
- I bind Satan's power and influence in and around myself, my family, and my home, in Jesus' Name. (Matt. 12:29b)
- I cast out all evil forces from me, my family, and my home, in Jesus' Name. (Matt. 12:29b)
- I send these evil spirits to dry places, never to return, in Jesus' Name. (Matt. 12:43)
- I ask that the blood covering of Jesus Christ be over me, my family, and my home, for divine protection in Jesus' Name. (Matt. 12:50)
You might find some verses to strenghten yourself with - because, "I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me." Remember to "put on the full armor of God" . . . There are many verses in scripture to help you with this.

I would think any cooking oil would be the same. There is nothing special or holy about oil. If fact I would skip the oil altogether.
Faith, prayer, the Word of God and the name of Jesus. What more could you need?

Jam 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
I don't believe the oil is a magical instrument in itself but the Word does validate the use of oil in anointing in James.
The same could be said of baptism in water - does the water itself have magical powers - no, but we still perform the ritual out of obedience.

There is an additional reason for the water involved in water baptism though...
Baptism is a public proclamation of your faith. So in public you are baptised to publically declare where your loyalties lie.
Also, the act of being dunked under water and brought up again is meant to physically symbolize that your old man or old self has died, and your new spiritual man has been brought to life.
For this reason, I have no idea why churches do the whole "sprinkling" thing, since it kind of defeats the purpose of having water involved to begin with. :noidea

There isn't anything "magical" about it.
It's listed in Both "Testaments" as being used when praying over people, or appointing them to a special office for YHVH, or kingship. It says Olive Oil in the Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew.

C'mon guys! Why the sarcasm?!
Kind of inappropriate here I think...
As odd as this seems for some Christians, it is Biblical. As is fasting (something many Christians would think a crazy thing!)
I've never used oil to annoint anything. But our battle is certainly against the spritual realm and for some reason, oil in the Bible holds special significance (coupled with understanding out of a pure heart). I tell you one of the verses that gets me the most is Deuteronomy 6:4-9 (not that oil is involved, per se) -
Deuteronomy 6
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.
7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Fills me with awe every time I read it...

I agree. The only times I see anointing a house EVER mentioned in Scripture is where it speaks to the house having recurring mold (It's called house leprosy).. and the Cohen come to check it out, clean it out (Like what's done during a flood really) and have it anointed so it doesn't return. If it does return, the house is torn down and started all over.
The only places I have *ever* seen this done, is in Catholic tradition, which is not Scriptural.

I've heard of this in the bible but never heard of someone doing this in this day and time. Very interesting. I do know that some Catholics (I'm assuming it's just the catholic faith) get their house blessed by a priest before they move in. A friend of mine did that.

Annointing with oil is used widely in the United Pentacostal, Assebly's of G-D and alot of the Southern Baptist Churchs. The common mixture is Extra Virgin Olive Oil mix with a small amount of herbs for a pleasant smell.

Continually, you say? Forgive me for asking, but, have you checked to see if there is anything in your house that may be of interest to them? NOT that you have something in your house "intentionally" but sometimes we are unaware of things in our houses that could be causing this kind of problems.

I have to disagree.
Scripture says Olive Oil. (Not "Cooking oil" not "Vegetable Oil" But Literally "Olive Oil")
I do know what was used for anointing was virgin, but am unsure if it was "extra" or not. For the office of the Cohenim (Preists) of the Levitical line, there was special oil with special spices, not for "home use" according to Scripture.
I am unsure however if this is the same oil used for the sick, but I would take a gander and say yes- because the sick were to seek the Cohenim on certain issues.

I've seen all kinds of things, including using the """Holy water""" to dedicate house/home/field/river/ocean..... and coming into a house they felt was demonic to anoint it wiht oil and spices, and do the """holy water""" as well as having the person grow weird 'projects' of mold and keep statues (idols) and pray to them for x amout of time, before they will come back and revisit them on the issue.

While the impact of lack of belief will have consequences in the sense that it is even more difficult for children raised in a Godless home to come to know Him, there is no such thing as a generational curse; not in the way that the use of this phrase usually implies. :(:
If I have misunderstood, I apologize in advance. :):

Generational curses are mentioned in scripture. However, if one turns from the offending way; to G-d, the curse is turned to blessing.
However, I do agree with Selah, people take this one way, when Scripture means another. :doh

How about when one is fasting?
Mat 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mat 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

Please let me clarify. I didn't say we are talking to satan. When we feel threatened by him we speak God's Word aloud. We are speaking to God. God will protect us.
And speaking words from Jesus (yes I knew that was Jesus speaking) is just speaking the Word. We are speaking Jesus' Word right to Jesus and Jesus will do the rest.

I thought I would tell a short story that relates to this topic. When I was a young child, I don't remember exactly how old I was, but I was probably around 10 or so, I was very sick with some sort of stomach flu. On this particular day I was vomiting constantly, maybe once every 20 minutes or more. My memory of it is a little fuzzy since it was over 20 years ago, but I do remember how miserable I was. My mom and dad called our pastor to come over and pray for me. I was laying on the couch and he knelt down beside me, anointed my forehead with oil and prayed. Almost immediately I fell asleep and when I woke up I felt much better. I don't recall if I was completely over my illness or not, but I was improving and vomiting much less if I wasn't.
I didn't tell this story to validate the use of oil or anything. I was just reading this thread and it popped into my head so I thought I would share it. BTW at the time we were attending a pentecostal church.
Edit: Just thought I would say that, yes, my parents had taken me to the doctor. Just incase anyone asks. :B:

There's form, and then there's substance.
Why does Scripture say to anoint with oil? Why did Joshua have to march around Jericho seven times instead of six? Why did the blind man have to wash his eyes in the pool of Siloam? Why did Naaman have to bob up and down in the Jordan river seven times to be healed of leprosy?
These all seem like crazy things to do, yet they were commands in Scripture that brought about healing and God's power. Was there something "magical" about the seventh march around Jericho, or about the pool of Siloam? What was so special about the seventh dip in the Jordan that it would cure leprosy?
In and of themselves, these actions are not panaceas that cure. Here's the point: these are tangible, tactile expressions of faith. Specifically, faith in God's Word and command, and in His power to heal. That's where the power comes from. It's the substance of faith underlying these actions that brings about healing.
So asking what kind of oil to use is really the wrong question. The right question is, where is my faith? How is my heart? Am I listening to God's commands? There is a particular danger, especially when dealing with the occult, when you rely more on the form than the substance of faith. To wit:
Matt 17:16 "I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Mat 17:17 And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."
Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.
Mat 17:19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"
Mat 17:20 And He *said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Mat 17:21 ["But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."]
I'm not trying to discourage anyone from using oil, or even a specific type of oil. But please operate in faith first. For without it, you can do nothing.

Hi, ya'll...sorry, been away from the computer for a little while today...
Lemme see if I can catch up with ya'll here...
As to the generational curse thing, I was raised in a solid Christian home, as was DH, but my heritage before that is strongly Irish, (as is DH's) and ancestors in our bloodlines were very much superstitious about ghosts and things like that, just like a lot of what you read about in Irish lore. Can't go into tons of detail, but there was a strong "belief", so to speak, that the apparitions these ancestors received were actual spirits of the departed loved ones, not demons. So was wondering if any of that might have to do with what DH and I have been experiencing. DH and I don't believe in ghosts, but rather, that the trouble we have (and have had) is demonic in nature. Tomato-tomahto to some people, but we think there's a big difference: ghosts=fairy tales; demons=very real proof of battle between Jesus and satan.
The problems have followed us since we were first married, five years ago, from house to house. They persist currently, but I do notice that things are somewhat better in the past few weeks, since I followed my MIL's Scriptural advice, and got rid of several "questionable" items I've had in the house sinece my childhood, when we lived in Mexico while my Dad was attending Med School there. (Long story-if anyone's interested in it, pm me.)
Prior to marrying DH, I had always had trouble with demons. My earliest recollection goes to the night I was visited by one called a "familiar spirit". This happened on the night my great-grandmother died. I was very close with her, but did not know that she had died, when I received a visitation from a demon that took her form and tried to fool me into thinking it was her. I learned the next day that this visitation coincided with the time she had died the night before.
Since that time, many very Scripturally-based Christians have been helping me with this problem, most notably, my wonderful MIL, who was present one night with me about a year ago when I was being "shadowed" by a particularly determined demon. We prayed aloud together, and at the name of Jesus, it fled, but came back when I went home a few days later.
And so that brings me to the current dilemma. I have trouble with the spirits re-entering our home and re-emerging in my life, despite my invocation of Jesus' name, and the binding of these demons. They're less a "fearful" thing for me now, as Jesus is helping me to see these cowardly minions of satan for what they really are--now, they just annoy the crud out of us (DH and myself).
So, that's where we are now, ...any advice ya'll might have is appreciated.
Thanks, ya'll!

Tiny,
You need to pray, fast and put on the armour of G-d. This sounds like the kind that doesn't leave without a big battle... the battle is not ours though, it is YHVH's.
You need to rebuke these in the name of Y'shua our Messiah, and the Father, YHVH. Command them to leave you, your husband, family and home, and in the name of Y'shua and His father, YHVH- to return to the dry places and not to bother you any more.

My house is under attack by satan. I need to anoint my house and rebuke the evil devil. I have never even thought about doing this, but I think I need to. What do I use, What do I say? Any thoughts???
I needed to do this as well and what I did was I bought annointing oil at Family Christian as was previously suggested, but I believe most importantly, I removed any form of paganism that I found in my home.
I had an ank (Egyptian) cross ring that dated back to my pagan days and after I threw that thing in the trash it seemed like things improved. I denounced any and all forms of paganism to the Lord. My family (history) had long been involved in the occult, Egyptian Rosecrucianism and New Age philosophy and until I removed these symbols and renounced these things from my life to the Lord I was plagued by demons.
I don't think that we, in the physical realm, understand fully the significance of what we do and our families do (to future generations) and how it affects us in the spiritual realm.
I have learned that even the smallest thing can in fact invite satan into your life. He is always there, like a roaring lion, waiting to devour us. We invite him in without even knowing it.

Act 19:19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Act 19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
