Heavenly Father, I need your Holy Spirit to help me not think and live according to my old ways. I place my childhood fears and bloodline curses behind me and I cancel them, in Jesus\u2019s name. By faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I choose not to be enslaved to them any longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I lay aside my fear of facing the pain from past friendships, romances, lovers, and relatives. I renounce the spirits of pride, bitterness, lying, self-exaltation, rebellion, witchcraft, and the occult. I choose to not walk in these any longer. When I am tested by these deceiving spirits, I choose to respond in godliness, righteousness and authority. Father, I thank you for removing any mental strongholds and for helping me to think and see clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I choose not to listen to other spiritual voices. Instead, I choose to listen to your voice. From this time forth, I will not trust in lying spirits who claim to offer me protection from evil. I close every door to Satan. I will not seek a false defense to shield myself from wrong, exploitation, or harm. I look to you, Lord Jesus,  and place my trust in you to protect me from the harm of well-meaning people and from demonic spirits. Jesus, I choose you to be my Savior and Holy Spirit, I choose you to be my defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father, according to your word in 1 John 1:9 it says, If we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So I confess that I have not loved rightly. I have resented others. I confess and renounce my sin, known and unknown. I now recognize  my sin and confess it before you. With godly sorrow and repentance in my heart, I ask you Father, to deliver me from the snare of of the fowler and set me totally free. Your truth is a shield to me and under your wings, I see refuge. By faith in your word, I now receive and take hold of your forgiveness and cleansing. Also Father, by the blood of your Son, Jesus, I forgive myself as you have forgiven me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord Jesus, I claim your promise in Psalm 91:14-15: Because I have set my love upon you, you will deliver me. You will set me on high because I have known  your name. I will call upon you, and you will answer me. You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver me and honor me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father, I give you thanks and praise and I believe it is done, in Jesus\u2019 name, Amen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace and Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
