The teachings continue looping in the above order.
Our programming schedule often includes anointed men and women of God whom we respect and from whom we learn much. We do not necessarily agree, however, with every word they say, especially when it comes to using the word "Lord," which is an incorrect translation used in many versions of the Bible.
Father, I ask forgiveness for not listening to You through Your voice, the voice of Jesus, or the voice of my Teacher, the Holy Spirit as Ishould have. I know that Jesus said His sheep hear His voice. I am one of Your sheep, so I claim as part of my covenant with You as a believer the grace to listen for and to the voice of God. I know that praying in the spirit, in tongues, helps one to hear better, so I ask for that gift You have made available to all who have accepted Jesus. I receive that gift. I choose to surrender my tongue and mouth to You, that I may speak words from the Holy Spirit addressed in intimacy and perfection to You, my Father Love. I thank You for this gift, and I choose to use it in drawing close to You and praying for others in love. Thank You for being able to hear You better. I expect to hear Your voice, and I choose to obey Your Word and what I hear from You, in Jesus’ name, amen.
Being thankful for the truth helps us stay steadfast and unswayed by our emotions. Charley West gave this prayer at the end of one of his truth-bringing radio programs.
Father, thank you for the truth of your Word; may those who need to hear it – that thirst and seek it -- receive it through this radio site. May it be a light to their path and an encouragement that despite what Satan wants to work for evil, Jesus has already made good. We receive Your love and grace that is sufficient in all things, and we walk in victory because of Your magnificent plan for mankind and because of the blood of Jesus that protects and provides for us in every area of our life.
We thank You for Your faithfulness to perform Your Word and that it will accomplish everything for which You have sent it. We receive it into our hearts and speak it out boldly with authority as your righteous sons and daughters on this Earth. And we thank You for Your discernment, wisdom and, understanding through it, now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty, holy name – Amen!
Pastor Scott Bishop included this prayer in his teaching on the blanket of hopelessness.
Father, thank You that Jesus is my Provider, Sustainer, and Deliverer from the pressures of this blanket of hopelessness. Thank You, Father, that as a tither, I have my needs met because of Your promises. Thank You that I have increase because of the offerings that I have given joyfully. Thank you, Father, for the hand of Jesus that walks me through every shadow of death and for knowing that He never leaves me nor forsakes me in the blanket of hopelessness."
Father, I can accept intellectually that You are Love, yet I need Your help to internalize this concept, since I have challenges in understanding that my physical father loved me. I call for Your spirit of forgiveness to forgive my physical father for not being the father he could have been to me, and I call for the grace to lay the pain down to Jesus on the cross. I ask You to give me an understanding in my heart and mind that I belong to something bigger than myself and that You truly love me with all your heart, mind, and being and want the very best for me. Thank You, Father. In Jesus' name, amen.
Father, thank You for the grace You offer us to forgive others and ourselves. Thank You for Jesus and His love for us that empowers us to walk in forgiveness. Father, we receive the truth of your Word that releases the power to be able to forgive and live in peace with our neighbors and with ourselves. Thank You for the new moons and the ability to turn over the burdens of unforgiveness to Jesus. We thank You for Your amazing love and patience, for Your faithfulness, and for always gently teaching us and showing us how to be perfect as you are in heaven. Thank You that your light and truth protects and guides us always, and we ask that the Holy Spirit continue to guide us and make straight our path. In Jesus name, amen.
We must forgive our mates for snoring, but a way exists to stop this annoying but involuntary practice. Snoring is a generational curse against the heart. So the curse needs to be broken off in communion as a generational curse, forgiving those who brought on the curse and declaring that the curse stops at your generation. The following prayer of a wife whose husband snores can also be helpful. Taking communion together before going to bed would also help.
Father, I come before you in my heavenly place, covered by the blood of Jesus. I forgive my husband for snoring. I bind all demons affecting him, according to your will, in chains of confusion, cut them off from all support, cancel all demonic assignments and send the demons back to the pit with weapons destroyed, in Jesus’ name. We pray in peace, love, shalom, and a blessed sleep, as You, Jesus, are King over this house. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Father, I thank You that you sent Jesus to die for me to save me and to be beaten with many stripes so that I could be healed of all my diseases (Ps. 103:3). I realize that You are perfectly faithful to the covenants I have with You, and that since You are Love You want me healed completely. Part of my fight of faith is to trust You to show me where I may have fallen short of fulfilling my part of the covenant, where I am not in harmony with You and Your laws of love. Father, “…see if there by any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way” (Ps. 139:24). Thank You for this revelation. I look forward to making any change that is necessary and I rejoice in advance that I am healed, because You are Love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father, You have given us all the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. We reverence you, God, and stand in awe of Your great plan for mankind. Jesus, the Creator, King of all kings, our Rock, our salvation, our high tower of strength, thank You for all that You have done for us and all that You are doing before we even ask. Thank you for Your comfort, Your encouragement, Your healing, Your wisdom, discernment, and understanding of Your Word. You knew us before we were born, and You died for our sins long before we were born. You died and rose again; You defeated Satan, and he is Your footstool. We are victorious under the Banner of Yahovah Nissi. We can have joy and peace in the midst of trouble. Our might is in you, Jesus, and in Your authority. Our righteousness is in You, not of ourselves. We are free from condemnation, guilt, and shame. We rejoice for all that You have done for us, and we rejoice for all You are going to do in our life and throughout our lives. Thank You for the restoration. Thank You for leading us, our Shepherd. We consider it all joy when we encounter trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces endurance that has a perfect result, so that we may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Father Love, You give wisdom to all generously and without reproach. You deserve all honor, praise, majesty, and glory forever. We live a victorious life and favor goes before us because of Jesus in us. We thank You for Your provision and strength during these times of tribulation as You prepare us to be raptured up to heaven out of danger and in Your arms of love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Father God, Thank You for Your nature of love that motivates You to form me in Your image so that I can become more like You (Gen. 1:26-27). We know the time is short and that Satan would like to stop me from being ready to be raptured up to Jesus, prepared to rule with Him on the Earth (Rev. 12:11-12; Eph. 5:15-16). I call for the mountain of fear, especially the fear of evil events beginning in a big way around 2012, to be cast into the sea, in Jesus’ name. Fill me with Your love that casts out fear (I John 4:18). You have said to seek Jesus while He may be found, before the night comes when no man can work (Isa. 55:6; John 9:4). “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way” (Ps. 139:24). Show me where I need the grace or empowerment to change. I call out to Jesus for His help since I can do nothing without Him (John 15:5). I am the clay, and You are the Potter, so mold me in Your image and release me from the power of my iniquities (Isa. 64:7-8). Strengthen me so that I may “lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles me” (Heb. 12:1). Teach me to make statements with the royal “we,” so that I may be reminded that I can do all things through Jesus (and thus through You and the Holy Spirit, since You are One and live in and through me). It is His joy in me that strengthens me (Phil. 4:13; Neh. 8:10). Finish the work You started in me so that I may be sincere and blameless in spirit, soul, and body and be counted worthy to stand before the Son of man (Phil. 1:6,10; I Thes. 5:23; Luke 21:36). Your will be done in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father, Bring Jesus back quickly so peace can finally be established on the Earth. As for me, I ask for Your peace. I choose to be anxious for nothing, but to make my requests be known to You with thanksgiving. You have then promised me according to my covenant of peace with you to grant me the peace that passes all understanding. I receive Your peace. I choose to be still amid the hustle and bustle of life and the storms around me, and to know that You are God. You are Yahovah Shalom, the God of Peace. In the name of Yashua Shalom, Jesus, Amen.
Father Love, We lay hands on our wallet (purse, credit cards, debit cards) and speak supernatural increase to our finances. We submit our finances to You. We choose to be thankful for what You have given us and to live within our means so that You can increase our means (Phil 4:11). We are sons and daughters of You, our Father of increase (Gen. 1:26-27). Isaac reaped a hundredfold in a time of famine (Gen. 26:1,12). We sow our tithes and offerings into the ministry/church that is feeding us, and because we sow with joy and not begrudgingly, we expect and claim one hundredfold blessings, at least one hundred times what we sow to be placed in our heavenly account. We expect all the blessings that You can imagine, which goes far beyond one hundred times our seed, and allows You to bless us in every area of our life. Our days of lack and fear of lack are over because we claim your covenant promises of prosperity in the covenant with Abraham, of whom we are children (Gal. 3:29). You have blessed us to be a blessing, so we can be givers in our overflow like You, the Father of lights and the Giver of every perfect gift (James 1:17). In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Father Love, We thank You for the grace You give us to pay our tithes faithfully so that You can rebuke the enemy who tries to devour our increase and so that we can see You open the windows of heaven to pour out upon us a bountiful blessing (Mal. 3:8-11). Show us if disobedience in some area is blocking the blessings of Your covenant with Abraham, a covenant of prosperity that we share (Gal. 3:29). We choose to come in harmony with Your economic system based on giving and the law of sowing and reaping (Gal. 6:7). We claim Your promise of power to receive wealth (Deut. 8:18), giving us clever ideas that can bless us and others financially. We choose not to fear bad financial news in our nation and world (Ps. 112:7), but rather to claim Your promise that “wealth and riches are in our house” (Ps. 112:3). You meet all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Jesus (Phil. 4:19), even blessing us with extra to be a blessing to others in these difficult times (II Cor. 9:8-11). In the name of Jesus, our Provider (Gen. 22:14). Amen.
Father, Bring the King of Your Kingdom back soon. This world needs Jesus to stop the lies, the violence, the wars, and the hopelessness we see around us. Help me prepare to be a part of Jesus’ bride by giving all my darkness to Jesus in exchange for His light. Show me where I need to change so I can be more like You. Guide me in the truth so I can be set free from all that hinders me. Give me a heart to love You above all else. Show me how I can be a light of the Kingdom of God, shining Jesus’ light to give an example of love and some hope to those around me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Uninvited guests in the form of demonic intruders can wreck your home and your peace. So why not invite our God of love into your day the first thing as you awaken? Here is a sample prayer/declaration that will enable you to resist the devil and his attempts to ruin your day. Good morning, Father. Good morning, Jesus. Good morning, Holy Spirit. Thank You for Your new mercies this morning. Thank You for loving me with all Your heart, mind, strength, and possessions. I choose to love You with all my heart, mind, strength, possessions, and my body. I choose to put You first in my day, Father Love, to put You first, Jesus, as My Shepherd to guide me, and You, Holy Spirit, to be my Teacher and Comforter today. In my prayers this morning I call for Your rain (you can pray in tongues if that gift has been activated in you). Thank You for the rain. I speak peace to my heart, mind, and brain. I thank You, Father, for removing all distractions. I open my heart to hear from You, Holy Spirit. I thank You for forgiving all my sins and for putting on me Jesus’ robe of righteousness and Your armor. I put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and my feet are fitted with the preparation of the gospel of the Kingdom of peace. I take the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.
Father, Show me the words and works of death that I have allowed in my life so that I may rescind those wrong words and by Jesus’ grace and power in me change those wrong ways. I want your ways of life. I want more of Jesus. Show me Your ways, Father, that I may walk with You in joy and peace all the days of my life. Change me so that I may be the light of the world You have called me to be. I reject the ways of death and choose life and blessings. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Father Love, You have said that Your people have been destroyed for lack of knowledge, and in Hosea 4:6 you put the responsibility on the pastors who have taught us from traditions of men and doctrines of demons. I no longer want to live in ignorance. Proverbs 2:3-5 says: “If you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will discern the [reverence] of the [Eternal] And discover the knowledge of God. I cry out to You to teach me that revealed knowledge through Your Word as guided by the Holy Spirit as He leads me into all truth (John 16:13). You have stored up sound wisdom and knowledge for me, since I am upright in Jesus (Prov. 2:6-7). “Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom” (Ps. 51:6). I thank you for Your gifts of knowledge, wisdom, discernment, and understanding. I thank You that they are in me because Jesus is in me, and You are activating these gifts so that I can be free and a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father Love, We take our place in the heavenlies with Jesus to bind the spirit of deception. He cannot influence us in any way, shape, or form, subject to Your will, in Jesus’ name. In these last days when Jesus warned us not to be misled by false leaders, including the Antichrist, the Beast, the False Prophet, and the False Christ, we claim Your promise in the Davidic covenant in Psalm 89:22: “The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.” Deliver us from deception. Reveal to us the truth that will make us free from all the deceptive schemes of the enemy (John 8:32). In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Father, I choose to forgive those who have labeled me [name label], and I reject this label, in Jesus’ name. I rip this label off [with a gesture of ripping it off your forehead], cancel its demonic assignments, and sent it to the pit, in Jesus’ name. Thank you, Father, for the freedom from this label. I speak out now the positive equivalent of this negative label [Example: for loser label, speak our winner]. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father, I confess my sexual sin to you (I have looked at things I should not look at. I have lusted after the beauty and comeliness of those of the opposite – or same – sex. I have satisfied my sexual urges through self-gratification. I have not been content in the state in which I find myself, whether unmarried and thus without a sexual outlet, or married and not content with the mate you have given me. I have allowed impurity to bring guilt, shame, and self-condemnation. These sins have cut me off from an intimate relationship with You, and I seek Your help to get back to that intimacy, which is the basis of my sexual identity. I need that intimacy in order to be intimate with the person you chose or will choose for me.) I acknowledge my weakness in the sexual area. It seems that I look for comfort and fulfillment from sex rather than from You. A feeling of emptiness, hopelessness, and helplessness has driven me to seek Satan’s false comfort rather than Yours. I confess my fervent desire to be free at last and to overcome this sin. I speak this out loud, since I want it to be in my heart and will. I confess my need for Jesus, the Grace that enables me to overcome. I ask Your forgiveness, Father, for these specific sins I now confess, for rebelling against You and Your Word by committing these sins or indulging in these bad habits. I ask for Your grace to forgive myself, since I know that without this being spoken out in faith, I will repeat the sin. I choose to forgive myself, in Jesus’ name, and I lay down to Jesus all the self-condemnation, guilt, shame, and feeling of inferiority. I declare my identity in Jesus, that I am more than a conqueror, an overcomer. I speak this out so that I have authority to say no to sin. I choose to speak the royal we, since You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit live in me. We shall overcome. I am in the hands of Jesus, who has already defeated every foe, every sin, and washed me clean in His blood so I can indeed speak of we rather than I. Father, we are helpless to control perversion’s hook and sting without Jesus. We call on Your mercy to be able to recognize, turn over, and have freedom from all perversions. We call on the blood of Jesus is against you, Satan, for we are washed clean by Jesus’ blood, and you therefore have no claim upon us. We thank You, Father, for leading us to the freedom in Jesus. We rejoice in the victory and give thanks for the freedom. If we do encounter setbacks, we will repeat this process until we walk in full victory. If we fall, we will rise in our confidence of Your love for us, and the light of Jesus will shine on any darkness. Thank You for giving us a way of escape from sexual sin. Thank You for the freedom by the blood of Jesus and His life in us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father Love, Show me through your Holy Spirit where my heart has been wounded, cold, closed, or broken. Bring to my mind the instances where gossip, rejection, devaluating statements of comparison with others, the squashing of my dreams, and other offenses have caused my heart to be wounded. Father, I ask for Your grace of forgiveness to forgive those who caused my heart to be wounded, and to forgive myself for allowing their actions or statements to hurt me. I choose to lay down all the pains and hurts of my heart to Jesus, so that He can change my wounded heart to a heart of peace and joy so I can be a light for You, My Father of Lights. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Following is the prayer that should be made the first time you break off curses. Subsequently, you will need to include only the essentials, such as the rejection of the curses and forgiveness. Authoritative and witchcraft curses require communion.
Father Love, Forgive me for not walking in the love You have put inside me, for not being patient, for being jealous, bragging, being arrogant, acting unbecomingly, seeking my own agenda, being easily provoked, taking into account wrongs suffered rather than forgiving, and for rejoicing in evil rather than righteousness. I forgive myself for not walking in the perfection of Your love, and I ask that You fill me with all the fullness of God, the fullness of Your love spread abroad in my heart by your Holy Spirit. Give me a realization of Your unconditional love for me, so that I may love myself, love You by obeying You, and love others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father, I know that without Jesus I can do nothing. I accept Jesus not only as my Savior but also as my Divine Master. I call on Jesus to heal all the wrong hardwiring of my brain that Satan has done, the memories, thoughts, and propensity to sin acquired from Adam and added to by my failings in life. While the real me is my spirit in which Jesus dwells in perfection, the power of sin within my soul, the flesh that brings me down so easily, is an enemy I cannot conquer without Jesus. I call on His grace or empowerment to overcome the power of sin within. You said that You would finish the work You started in me, and I hold You to that covenant promise. Thank You for making me a winner, an overcomer, more than a conqueror in Jesus. Thank You for changing me so I can bring You even more glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Father Love, Show me where I have been hiding in tradition and religiosity. Show me where I have accepted worldly traditions without testing them according to Your Word. Show me where I have allowed lifeless religious rules to guide me, rather than Your love that enables me to obey by Your grace the laws of love that lead to abundant, eternal life. Show me where religiosity has deprived me of a vital, intimate relationship with You. Deliver me from tradition and religiosity, so that I may truly know and love You with all my heart, soul, and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(from Psalm 31)
Father, I choose to forgive all those, both foe and friend, who conspire to destroy me, who conspire against me, and who speak negatively about me. You hide me in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man. You keep me secretly in a shelter from the strife of cursing tongues. You have displayed Your loving kindness to me in a besieged place. Thank You for Your grace to forgive and bless my enemies. I choose to leave all vengeance in Your hands, for You are faithful to fully recompense the proud doer and even bring them to repentance. Make the schemes of the destroyer come to naught as Your good plans for me come to fruition. In Jesus name, Amen.
Father, Your love is pure, and Your motives are for our good. We ask forgiveness for walking in pride and letting this false strength and reliance on our flesh guide us, defend us, and sustain us. We turn over to Jesus this pride, its causes and effects, and all its inordinate desires. We release our false identity, pain it has caused, and most of all the losses it caused in blocking us from being able to come before You in truth, faith, and love. Father, we ask You to renew and create in us a clean heart, and to purge us of all pride that blocks us from being like Jesus. Help us to set our will on You, Father that Your will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. Help us defeat pride and all its roots by Your love. And Father, help us to be at one with You in Jesus. For this we pray and give thanks, in Jesus’ name. Amen
(Psalm 26 – Declaring our Stand with Jesus and His Protection)
Father Love, You have promised that You will “faithfully bring forth justice” (Isa. 42:3b). We call on You to remember Your covenants of love with us and we say, “Rise up, O Judge of the earth…For judgment will again be righteous…” (Ps. 94:2,15). We choose to forgive all our oppressors, giving our pain to Jesus, and we leave all vengeance to You (Heb. 10:30). “Vindicate [us]…and plead [our] case… deliver [us] from the deceitful and unjust man! …” (Ps. 43:1). You “will bring forth [our] righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday” (Ps. 37:6). No man will be able to stand before us (Deut. 11:25). You will save your anointed and will answer us in the day of trouble (Ps. 20:1,6). We praise You, Father, for the victory, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Justice Prayer (Long Form) – You may take parts of this prayer to pray if so desired. Once the specific request is made, you should only pray prayers of thanksgiving for the answer. You may always, however, quote the Word of God on the subject].
Blessing example for a young girl between 6-10.
Heavenly Father Agape, thank You for this day. We thank You for our/my beautiful daughter _____________. She is a valuable and treasured part of our family. Today we bless you__________ with joy and laughter. We Bless you with knowing who you are in Yashua, so you know you are a child of the Most High God and walk in boldness speaking His word. We bless you with the ability (discernment) to choose your friends wisely being a light to them and others. Enjoy this day in the favor of God. Receive these blessings______________. In the name of Yashua. Amen
Click HERE for Scriptures for Blessing/Claiming our Children
N.B. In all blessings of children, parents should encourage their children to speak out, “I receive this blessing,” when their parents bless them. Furthermore, the blessing should always be followed by a warm hug (or hugs).
Blessing example for a young man between 15-18.
Heavenly Father Love, thank You for the blessing of this son ___(name)____. Son, today we bless you with the knowledge and understanding that you are loved by Jesus (Yashua in Hebrew) and by your family.
We bless you with allowing that love to flow through you in acts of kindness and consideration to all you meet today. We bless you with the wisdom of Yashua in choosing your friends. Do not be deceived by anyone.
We bless you with joy and peace of knowing who you are in Yashua and walking uprightly and boldly in confidence.
Receive this blessing today my son (or use his name) and go in the favor of God, for we declare this in the name of Yashua. Amen
Advanced Protection Prayer (When going into areas where strong demonic strongholds exist, such as principalities)
I declare that because I am a Son/Daughter of my Father Love, I am covered and protected by Jesus' blood and the armor of God. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. This demonic stronghold is thus unable to affect me in any way, shape or form, in Jesus' name, Amen.
NOTE: When you know you will be traveling through demonic domes of darkness in areas of heavy witchcraft, and before Halloween especially, it is imperative to be in praise, speaking and/or singing out praises to Jesus.
Father, I ask Your forgiveness for having lusted or longed after anyone (or having engaged in any sexual activity that caused blood to be released). I accept Your forgiveness and I forgive myself, in Jesus’ name. I hereby reject and break off all soul ties that I have made with others. I now reach out [act this out, reaching out with your hands extended, as if toward the person or persons involved] and take my soul back [with the corresponding gesture of your hands extended back towards your body] from those to whom my soul was attached and/or tied. I ask You to bring healing and oneness to my soul. I also release the souls of those who lusted after or desired me back to them [with the appropriate hand gestures] and I ask You to bring healing and oneness to their souls. Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name.
The breaking of soul ties should be confirmed and sealed in communion. If blood ties are also involved, add the following, as you break the bread (body) of Jesus in communion, after which you seal it in Jesus’ blood:
Father, please forgive me for having engaged in illicit sexual activity with anyone [unless it was marital sex and you are now divorced]. I forgive myself [if pre-marital or extra-marital sex was involved] and I hereby reject and break off all blood ties to the person/persons involved. In Jesus’name, amen.
*Lusting after another person causes the curses affecting that person to affect you, since your soul is tied to them. Simply being fascinated with a person to the point of wanting to be with them, desiring them, causes a soul attachment. Both soul ties and attachments, if they are not godly ones (marital, family, close friendships like the one David and Jonathan enjoyed), must be broken off. Blood ties are created when sexual intercourse takes place, because both the male and female organs release blood. Male ejaculation, even when not connected with actual intercourse, causes a blood tie with the person who is the object of the sexual desire.
Prayer: "Father, I ask You to grant me the grace of forgiveness. I receive that gift, since You are the Giver of every perfect gift. Now that I have received this gift in faith, I declare that I choose to forgive ____________ for the hurt they caused me. I choose to take that hurt from my heart [touching hands to your heart or chest area and extending hands downward in putting the hurt on Jesus' cross] and lay it down on the cross of Jesus. Thank You, Father, for this freedom. In Jesus' name, Amen."
(Click HERE for a sermon by Robert B. Scott, entitled “Feasts of Freedom,” which explains the spring feasts of freedom and adds details and further prayers regarding the release from falseness...)
Father, we thank You for letting us recognize the areas of falseness in our lives. We confess that our acceptance and participation in the falseness was wrong. We confess all the areas of falseness in our lives (Name all the areas of falseness.) We reject the acceptance and past involvement in falseness we have had in our lives. We repent for this falseness we have harbored and even for rejecting Your past warnings for being involved with them. We ask for Your hand, Father, upon our lives to bring the changes necessary in rejecting those areas of falseness we can remember now and all the areas the Holy Spirit may bring to remembrance from time to time. When we see these areas of falseness, we choose to reject them in favor of Your Word. We call for an infusion of Your truth in our mind and heart so that the damage that falseness causes can be healed and that Your Word can be alive in us. We ask that Jesus be Divine Master of our lives. We surrender our old brain patterns to Him for whatever adjustment is necessary in getting these false programs out of our lives. We praise You, Father, for the freedom from the past falseness. We reject all the demons that have created this falseness and all their hold over our lives. We bind them up in chains of confusion, cut them off from all support and send them back to the pit, in Jesus’ name. Thank You, Father, for this freedom. In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen. (followed by communion.)

When trust is broken, how do you earn back that trust?
Sometimes this seems impossible. Even if a person has forgiven you for betraying them, they can take years to recover from the incident or maybe never. God has provided a way, however, to make the restoration of trust possible and in a shorter period of time.
First of all, we need to deal with the hurt and sorrow in our own heart. When you have blown it, committed a serious sin against another person, a wall is erected. As Proverbs says, a person deeply offended, and in this case seriously betrayed, is harder to be won than a city. A feeling of sorrow, grief and helplessness can fill our hearts in such situations.
We must lay our pain down to Jesus, and call for Him to start by healing our heart. We can declare this prayer, "I speak to my heart and call for healing by the stripes of Jesus." We then pray shalom upon the person injured, that he or she is healed by the stripes of Jesus, and that his or her heart will be opened again. We call on Jesus as Restorer.
It is important to use the appropriate verse of Scripture for each situation. Here are some powerful Scriptures you can speak over yourself and over the person you betrayed:
Isaiah 53:4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities, The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
Jesus "came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him" (John 1:11). They betrayed the One who came to save them, torturing Him with 39 stripes from a merciless whip that tore His flesh. All of us have sinned and thus caused those stripes to be inflicted upon Jesus. We can claim healing for ourselves and others by those stripes (I Pet. 2:24).
Psalm 80:3 says, "O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved."
Boaz and Ruth symbolize Jesus and His bride, the church, so we can claim restoration by quoting Ruth 4:14: "Blessed is the [Eternal] who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. 15 May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age…"
Only God can restore a relationship broken by betrayal. All things are possible with Him.
Declaring that we are sinners and not saints is a dangerous curse that afflicts many. When we curse ourselves back into the kingdom of darkness, we open ourselves up to all that darkness has to offer, including sickness. If you have ever said this prayer, here is another prayer you need to say instead:
“Father, please forgive me for having cursed myself as a sinner. I forgive those who encouraged me to do this. I forgive myself for having spoken it. I bind up all the demons and their agents enforcing this curse in chains of confusion. I cut them off from all support. [Lifting your right arm] I take the sword of Jesus with my right hand of authority and I destroy [as you bring your arm down] all their weapons, artillery and nets. I burn up their slime and command them to go back to the pit in Jesus’ name. I rip off the sinner label from my forehead [with your right hand] in Jesus’ name. I declare that I am a saint – a child of the Kingdom of Light. Thank you Father, for the freedom from this curse. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Father, I come before You to reject and break off frustration in Jesus’ name. I forgive myself for speaking the frustration into law in my life by my words. I forgive those who have provoked or added to my frustration. I take the sword of Jesus and destroy the box of frustration that has hemmed me in. I bind up the demons causing and enforcing these frustrations in chains of confusion, cut them off from all support, command them to take all their weapons and go back to the pit in Jesus’ name. I turn all the pain and frustration over to You, Jesus, at the cross. I thank You, Father, for the freedom from these frustrations. I pray blessings into my life (or into the life of another if praying for another). I put the cross between me and the law of sowing and reaping. I seal all this in the blood of Jesus and ask for the blood of Jesus to shield against any backlash or blacklash from Satan. (Be sure to seal all this by these last words in communion).
