Renunciation prayers give deliverance
Renunciation prayers are formulaic prayers that can be personalised. These prayers are a form of repentance for our own and our family’s iniquities such as idolatry. Renunciation prayers can be found on this site or elsewhere on the internet for just about anything using a simple Google search. Following a basic formula, these prayers can easily be written or adapted to suit.
Renunciation prayers can be for specific things such as personal involvement in Roman Catholicism, witchcraft, freemasonry, New Age, or any other form of occult involvement. Or for general iniquity (sin and the results of sin). These things can bring a curse to the family line which can go back as far as four generations, while some say ten generations or back to Adam and Eve. This applies even if someone has used a Ouija board just once or only consulted a psychic or tarot card reader once, or has brought some occult paraphernalia into their home.
Just about anyone – if not everyone – has various forms of idolatry, occult involvement, or iniquity in their family line, so we can say the prayers for just-in-case reasons. In particular, it can be helpful to say the prayers for Freemasonry which is a dangerous form of witchcraft, Catholicism, the Occult, etc. whether they are known to apply or not, as these were common practices often kept secret even from immediate family.
It may be our own errors, such as having believed in false Christian doctrine or followed false teachers, or difficulties we are having in life, with others or within ourselves, perhaps with some form of backsliding.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1:8-10)
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
“Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.” (Acts 8:22)
Some have found that reading renunciation prayers helps them to see that their beliefs had strayed a long way from the Gospel in a way that they might not otherwise have realised. Or that reciting the words of the prayer has helped to bring it home to them what they have done wrong and why it was wrong.
Renunciation prayers give deliverance and break curses. This results in improvements in many aspects of our life including our health and well-being and removal of various types of blockages and difficulties.
Widely accepted by Christian deliverance ministries as a helpful form of repentance – godly sorrow and grief – and asking God for forgiveness, these prayers are always said in the name of Jesus. It is God who delivers us and the power to deliver is always in the name of His Son, Jesus.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5)
“And thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
“And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as [a]presenting all that I Am], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.” (John 14:13)
Renunciation prayers are usually said aloud. Some are very long but as they are a form of repentance, only need to be said once. Also, for a woman these prayers are more effective with the head covered.
They are perfect to deal with any unrenounced sin which provides a demonic doorway or gateway aka portal. Or in other words, it gives licence grounds to demons to torment and harass – and any open doorways that need to be shut.
A good place to start is with the Prayer to Renounce Generational Iniquity
Can a renunciation prayer do any harm if the prayer didn’t apply in my case?
Feedback from people’s experiences with these prayers is almost exclusively positive. As renunciation prayers are Bible-based and always said in the name of Jesus, one can have confidence they can do no harm. They can greatly help – sometimes in dire situations – to break curses or overcome difficulties, breakthrough blocks, or to find deliverance from some form of demonic harassment.
The Bible tells us that Jesus gave us an example of how to pray
The Lord’s Prayer was given to us in scripture by Jesus in The Sermon on the Mount as an example of a form of prayer that can be said daily. By this, we know should pray everything addressed to God, our Heavenly Father, and always in the name of Jesus who is our intercessor.
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:5-13)
The Bible tells us much about prayer
“In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness with sighs and groanings too deep for words. And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will.” (Romans 8: 26-27)
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” (Matthew 6:5-8)
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.” (Luke 18:10-14)
“And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.” (1 John 5:14-15 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)
We can ask God to grant us more faith, strength or grace, etc.
The Bible specifically tells us we can pray to ask God to give us more faith, more peace, more discernment, more strength to bear and more grace to endure.
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:14-16)
“Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22)
“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.” (Luke 17:5)
“And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” (Mark 9:24)
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10)
“I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:5)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” (Ephesians 2:8)
The blood of Jesus
We can apply the blood of Jesus in prayer to a person or a situation. Or we can say that we cover a place or a person or a situation with the blood of Jesus. This is because the blood of Jesus represents the suffering and death he endured as sacrifice (atonement) for our sins.
“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13)
“For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:13-14)
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,” (Revelation 12:11)
Standing in the gap or intercessory prayer
We can “stand in the gap” for others who are in need of help but who are unable or unwilling to pray for themselves. This is a form of intercessory prayer where our prayers can bridge the gap between God and people who are cut off from God’s helping presence. We can pray for them, lifting up their needs and concerns to God, we can ask God to protect, care for and help them.
Or someone else can stand in the gap for us. Jesus gave us a great example when he made intercession for sinners even on the cross:
“Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:12)
“Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34)
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
”And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:15-16)
Taking authority for deliverance prayer
Demons can cause physical and mental illness and all sorts of problems. Jesus cast out demons and told us to do the same. For deliverance prayer, a parent who is a believer, can take authority and command any demons to leave in the name of Jesus. However depending on how they got there and what ‘rights’ they have to be there, whether generational or whatever, it is not necessarily – nor even likely to be – that easy and more measures may be necessary. Demons are bullies and may be there just because they can.
“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.” (Matthew 10:1)
“Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.” (James 5:13)
“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” (Psalms 50:15)
“The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” (Psalms 34:17)
“Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.” (Psalms 32:7)
“And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;” (2 Samuel 22:2)
Fasting can be an important aid to prayer and deliverance.
“Howbeit this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17: 21)
“And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:” (Daniel 9:3)
Praying through the Psalms
Reading the psalms can provide great comfort and wisdom for those going through troubles in their life. King David wrote most of the psalms and he went through many difficulties and trials including with family and friends.
“Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as Christ’s sufferings are ours in abundance [as they overflow to His followers], so also our comfort [our reassurance, our encouragement, our consolation] is abundant through Christ [it is truly more than enough to endure what we must].” (2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Amp)
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14:26)
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
“Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks:” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18)
“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passes all under- standing shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
Prayer Against Generational Iniquity
Deliverance Prayer to Break Witchcraft and Mind Control Programming
Praying against the above issues specially to do with ancestral curses is simpler than the article describes. The article leans on forms and tradition a little bit.
The pursuit of the victory over sin is the right attitude to seeking our Lord who answers prayer. If the prayer is not a form and is in line with the will of God`s law then it is then that we practise the believing bit and actually have faith in the Lord`s unseen moves or works and give thanks and praise for what he is about to do is most pleasing to Him. Especially for healing of demonic activity. Curses should not carry any credibility to any Bible believing Christian unless forms and tradition play a role in ones faith. If not then fasting combined is more potent. The prayers of the righteous will avail much in support of the prayer issue. Tradition and forms also put our God in a box and it is impossible to please Him this way. Also steer well away from tradition or techniques which are a form, or go into contemplative exercises which is worse.
Shalom, some new believers need guidance and support, having written prayers just helps and encourages. It has helped me and I am sure that The Lord Jesus Christ understands when we pray with our heart. I have been to deliverance meetings and witnessed the power of prayer and believers set free from demons. It is not tradition it is praying in the Spirit, blessings to all.
