Pornography

Lord Jesus, I confess that I have looked at sexually suggestive and pornographic material for the purpose of stimulating myself sexually.  I have attempted to satisfy my lustful desires and polluted my body, soul and spirit.  Thank You for cleansing me and for Your forgiveness.  I renounce any satanic bonds I have allowed in my life through the unrighteous use of my body and mind.  Lord, I commit myself to destroy any objects in my possession that I have used for sexual stimulation, and to turn away from all media that are associated with my sexual sin.  I commit myself to the renewing of my mind and to thinking pure thoughts.  Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I may not carry out the desires of the flesh.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Homosexuality

Lord Jesus, I renounce the lie that You have created me or anyone else to be homosexual, and I agree that in Your Word You clearly forbid homosexual behaviour.  I choose to accept myself as a child of God and I thank You that You created me as a man [woman].  I renounce all homosexual thoughts, urges, drives and acts, and I renounce all ways that Satan has used these things to pervert my relationships.  I announce that I am free in Christ to relate to the opposite sex and my own sex in the way that You intended.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Abortion

Lord Jesus, I confess that I was not a proper guardian and keeper of the life You entrusted to me, and I confess that I have sinned.  Thank You that because of Your forgiveness, I can forgive myself.  I commit the child to You for all eternity and believe that he or she is in Your caring hands.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Suicidal Tendencies

Lord Jesus, I renounce all suicidal thoughts and any attempts I’ve made to take my own life or in any way injure myself.  I renounce the lie that life is hopeless and that I can find peace and freedom by taking my own life.  Satan is a thief and comes to steal, kill and destroy.  I choose life in Christ, who said He came to give me life and give it abundantly [see John 10:10].  Thank You for Your forgiveness that allows me to forgive myself.  I choose to believe that there is always hope in Christ and that my heavenly Father loves me.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Drivenness and Perfectionism

Lord Jesus, I renounce the lie that my sense of worth is dependent on my ability to perform.  I announce the truth that my identity and my sense of worth are found in who I am as Your child.  I renounce seeking the approval and acceptance of other people, and I choose to believe that I am already approved and accepted in Christ because of His death and resurrection for me.  I choose to believe the truth that I have been saved, not by deeds done in righteousness, but according to Your mercy.  I choose to believe that I am no longer under the curse of the Law because Christ became a curse for me.  I receive the free gift of life in Christ and choose to abide in Him.  I renounce striving for perfection by living under the Law.  By Your grace, Heavenly Father, I choose from this day forward to walk by faith in the power of Your Holy Spirit according to what You have said is true.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Eating Disorders or Self-Mutilation

Lord Jesus, I renounce the lie that my value as a person is dependent on my appearance or performance.  I renounce cutting or abusing myself, vomiting, using laxatives or starving myself as a means of being in control, altering my appearance or trying to cleanse myself of evil.  I announce that only the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses me from sin.  I realize I have been bought with a price and my body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, belongs to God.  Therefore, I choose to glorify God in my body.  I renounce the lie that I am evil or that any part of my body is evil.  Thank You that You accept me just the way I am in Christ.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Substance Abuse

Lord Jesus, I confess that I have misused substances [alcohol, tobacco, food, prescription or street drugs] for the purpose of pleasure, to escape reality or to cope with difficult problems.  I confess that I have abused my body and programmed my mind in harmful ways.  I have quenched the Holy Spirit as well.  Thank You for Your forgiveness.  I renounce any satanic connection or influence in my life through the misuse of food or chemicals.  I cast my anxieties on Christ who loves me.  I commit myself to yield no longer to substance abuse, but instead I choose to allow the Holy Spirit to direct and empower me.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.
