Prayers for deliverance, a release from bitterness and unforgiveness.
We must understand is
Bitterness develops Roots. This
bitterness produces fruit and this bitterness and unforgiveness opens the door to the devil. We
get thrown into the torturous chamber, where the demons and Satan has direct access to our life.
Betrayal is what people do to us. Bitterness is what we do to ourselves. Betrayal is external.
Bitterness is internal. And the only thing that can take that betrayal and actually turn it into
a blessing is forgiveness. God can take what people have meant for evil and turn it for our good.
If we allow to not get offended and stay in unforgiveness, when we let go of unforgiveness
when we let go of bitterness, God can use our scars to actually promote His kingdom. God doesn't send
these problems. But God can redeem us from those traumas and those pains. I understand, this could be
a very difficult topic for someone, who has maybe been betrayed, who has maybe been cheated on, maybe
your innocence has been stolen, maybe you've been violated against your will, maybe you have went
through a very difficult and a painful journey of being taken advantage of. And forgiving someone may
feel like they're getting the free pass. Forgiving someone feels like, they're gonna get away with it.
But we must understand that is not what forgiveness is. Before we go into prayers of
forgiveness. I may remind you that the word 'offense' in the Greek, in the New Testament is
actually a skandalon. Matthew 18 verse 7 and the scandalon is a trigger of a trap on which bait
is placed. When an animal touches the trigger to eat the bait, the trap springs shut and
the animal is caught. We must understand, when we hold on to bitterness, when we hold on to offense
when we hold on to unforgiveness, we're actually eating the bait and we will get trapped in that.
And that will require deliverance and if you're watching this video right now
and you have certain unforgiveness or bitterness toward people, that have wounded you, hurt you
took you for granted, perhaps abused you, maybe betrayed you, 'Today is the day to be free.'
When you forgive,
you're actually setting the prisoner free and know that prisoner is not your perpetrator or your
abuser, that prisoner is actually you. Forgiveness is a decision of the will. It's not an emotional
decision. It's the decision of your heart and of your will. You choose to forgive. You don't
wait until the other person realizes what they did was wrong. Jesus forgave, being on the cross.
Nobody asked Him for forgiveness. Pharisees were convinced what they were doing was God's will.
Yet Jesus forgave them. He said, Father, forgive them for they don't know what they're doing. Stephan also
forgave, while he was being stoned and he says, Lord don't count them this what they're doing as a sin.
Christians, model the life of forgiveness from Jesus. Maybe forgiving is hard. It's
not easy. In fact, forgiving is impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit and without looking to
Jesus. As long as you are nursing your wounds, as long as you are looking at what they did
rehearsing on how they hurt you, you won't be able to forgive. But if you look to the cross
if you look at what your sin and my sin did to Jesus, the Holy Spirit will give
you the strength to forgive and when you forgive, you are on your way to Freedom.
If you are ready to pray the prayer of releasing forgiveness and letting go of unforgiveness
let's do it together. I've seen people get healed, delivered and set free, the moment
they forgive somebody. It's so powerful, you have no idea how powerful it is to forgive somebody.
Let's pray together. Dear Lord, I have benefit from the gift of your forgiveness to me. I choose to
forgive those who hurt me. Help me set and I want you to put the name there right now, maybe
it's your ex-husband, your ex-boyfriend, maybe it's your father, maybe it's somebody, whoever that is I
want you to put that name right now, help me to set this person free and release them to You.
I bless those who hurt me. Help them to walk in righteousness, peace and joy. Lord Jesus, today I
also ask for forgiveness, for all the negative and harmful feelings, I have held against myself.
I do not want to abuse myself in a negative way or in any way. I forgive myself for the
things I've done, as You have forgiven me. Any offense that I have toward You, Jesus today
from my failed expectations, I let it go. I refuse to charge You with wrong. I choose to worship
and trust You for Your unfailing love. Help me Holy Spirit. Just take a
second, just breathe out every unforgiveness, bitterness, disappointment you had with God
where you held Him hostage to your expectations. Well, He didn't heal this person, didn't deliver
this, you know in this case, He didn't seem to maybe come through. Why did He allow that. Just just let
it go. Say, Lord, like Job, he worshiped and he didn't charge God with wrong. Just let it go right now and
just voice that out, verbalize it to the Lord and then let's pray right now against every bitterness
and rejection. Maybe this unforgiveness has already taken a root of bitterness
and you've developed self-rejection. Let's right now come against, let's renounce that in the name
of Jesus. I renounce and break every curse of rejection, perceived rejection, rejection from
word curses, rejection in the womb, all inner vows that I have spoken, bitter root judgments that I
have uttered over myself in the name of Jesus. Let them be broken right now. I renounce and break
all curses of verbal and relational rejection of my parents and their ancestors. I renounce
and break all curses and demons of falsely perceived rejection by God. Rejection resulting
from mental,, physical verbal and sexual abuse. I renounce and break all curses of resentment
bitterness, anger, jealousy, envy, unforgiveness, grief, shame, false guilt resulting from rejection.
I renounce all abandonment that resulted in the spirit of rejection in Jesus name. Every demon that
is connected to rejection, bitterness, abandonment, I commend you to leave right now in Jesus name.
Be free from the spirit of bitterness. Be free from the spirit of rejection. Be free from the
spirit of isolation. Be free from the spirit of self-hate in the name of Jesus Christ. Be
free from deep resentment toward people who hurt you, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Heal their hearts Lord, release love, release peace, right now release grace right now Lord
release your angels Lord, to minister to the person that has been wounded, rejected, abandoned, isolated.
Let your mercy and favor speak for them right now in Jesus mighty name.
