POWERFUL AND FREEING CONFESSIONS

April 15

eloved of God, here are some suggestions of things that you should do if you are in bondage, depressed, fearful, worrisome, and desiring of a deeper walk with your Father in His Holy Spirit: (If you will follow these directions you will greatly benefit).

1. Present yourself (your body and person) to God "a living sacrifice"(Romans 12:1) in true offering and surrender to God. Here's how, say "Father, I have grown cold and I fit into the list above of those in bondages. I hereby declare in Jesus’ name that I cannot pull myself out of this bondage. I need the power of the Holy Spirit released to me from heaven in Jesus’ name now! I am here waiting for you to send a brother/sister to me to help me pray through this situation until I am free in your presence."

2) Call for someone, or ask for someone who walks closely to God to come and face to face pray for you and minister to you under the anointing of the Holy Spirit to get you free. If you will humble yourself and do this, you will get a positive result. By the way, have you ever been born-again in Jesus Christ. If you are unsure, have someone pray with you and confess your sins before God openly, and repent! You can do this alone, but with another person also comes God's wisdom in them to speak freedom and release to you.

3) Examine carefully your mindset and ask God in Heaven if you have sin in your heart toward another person. Wait quietly until he puts the face or name of that person in your mind. He is faithful, and He wants you out of your bondage, so He will respond to you. Now repent of your bitterness and lack of forgiveness (read Matthew 18 about the unforgiving servant) because you cannot afford to hold on to this sinful attitude toward another.

4) Agree before God that you will attend prayer meetings where heaven and earth are moved by the people who pray. If you really want results you must find a group who prays for people with power and release. Also determine to go to a worship service, Bible study, prayer group at least seven times a week. (What you say! I don't have enough time for that)!” You know the answer to that protest Child of God--- you are too busy to get yourself delivered from your bondage--- so, it won't happen for you. In other words, you control your own life and spiritual relationship with your Father!

5) If your health permits, fast (take no food, only water). During the fasting (for one meal or one day at the time) use that time to pray, read the Psalms, and simply say, "I am making myself an offering to you, Father, in Jesus’ name." Read Isaiah 58 on fasting. Child, get serious and your Father will come to you and set you free through Jesus’ name and the power of the cross.

Prayer

Father, in Jesus’ name I will follow this pattern for a while. I will seek you as Jeremiah 29:11ff instructs me. Help me. I want to walk free in Jesus’ name, amen!
