Cleansing Prayer
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’ name. By faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I choose not to be enslaved to them
any longer!
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.
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 nor the 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.
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
the fowler and set me totally free. Your truth is a shield to me and under Your wings, I
seek 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.
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.
Father, I give You thanks and praise and I believe it is done, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
