| Renounce Deception and Seek TRUTH |

A friend gave this to me tonight and it really ministered to my heart in a profound way. I've prayed it over and over again, repeating parts outloud. I feel the Holy Spirit and want to share it with you... Thank you SO MUCH to my friend who has been praying with me tonight and offered me this prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father,
Your word tells me that You desire truth in my inner being. You will cause me to know wisdom and have understanding. Your word, also tells me that the heart of a person is deceitful and I may not always understand or know what is going on in my heart, my innermost being. I now make a decision to have You reveal to me the hidden motives and secrets of my heart. Jesus said, "Satan is the father of lies and a deceiver who is always trying to deceive me into believing lies." At times, I have believed Satan's lies and deceived myself by avoiding the truth and being in denial. In the past, I was hurt, rejected, betrayed, made powerless or abused. At times, I may have made a choice to live in a fantasy world to escape pain or loneliness. This fantasy world was a deception that I believed to escape painful reality. Other times, I chose to forget, to suppress, to split or mentally separate myself from the painful memories or events. These past hurts were more than I could bear. So I buried or forgot them with all of the anger, unforgiveness and vows made against myself and others. I understand that this is part of my life story and by denying their reality, I deny a part of myself. These vows and unforgiveness are giving the enemy an entrance way into my life and body and a spiritual, legal right to harass, afflict, control or drive me in compulsive, ungodly ways.I now reject this false life and choose to live in truth and in the light. I choose NOT to live in a myth or lie concerning my past. With God's help, I will work on these hurts, unforgiveness and vows, and come to know myself. I do not want these vows coming upon me or others. I now make a choice to turn from this hidden life and close all these doorways in Jesus' name. I take authority in Jesus' name and I rebuke and command all deceiving spirits to leave me now. I know that You, Father, are a discerner of the heart. I ask You to reveal to me and to Your servant who is ministering to me, the nature of these hidden hurts, pain, anger, vows, lies or sins in my life. I now choose to face the truth and NOT live in denial. I acknowledge that I cannot do this in my own strength. I look to You, Jesus, for Your help in my healing and deliverance. I ask You to search me, O God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in thy way everlasting. Amen. |
