(from Psalm 31) 

Father,

I choose to forgive all those, both foe and friend, who conspire to destroy me, who conspire against me, and who speak negatively about me. You hide me in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man. You keep me secretly in a shelter from the strife of cursing tongues. You have displayed Your loving kindness to me in a besieged place. Thank You for Your grace to forgive and bless my enemies. I choose to leave all vengeance in Your hands, for You are faithful to fully recompense the proud doer and even bring them to repentance. Make the schemes of the destroyer come to naught as Your good plans for me come to fruition. In Jesus name, Amen.

Father, Your love is pure, and Your motives are for our good. We ask forgiveness for walking in pride and letting this false strength and reliance on our flesh guide us, defend us, and sustain us. We turn over to Jesus this pride, its causes and effects, and all its inordinate desires. We release our false identity, pain it has caused, and most of all the losses it caused in blocking us from being able to come before You in truth, faith, and love. Father, we ask You to renew and create in us a clean heart, and to purge us of all pride that blocks us from being like Jesus. Help us to set our will on You, Father that Your will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. Help us defeat pride and all its roots by Your love. And Father, help us to be at one with You in Jesus. For this we pray and give thanks, in Jesus’ name. Amen

(Psalm 26 – Declaring our Stand with Jesus and His Protection) 

1. Vindicate me, O righteous Judge, for I have walked in my integrity; and I have trusted with my whole heart in Jesus, and have not wavered.
2. Examine me, most righteous God; try me, test my soul; look into my mind and my heart.
3. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked with You in Your truth.
4. I do not entertain nor sit with deceitful men.  Nor do I go about with those who are pretenders, false-hearted, worthless, or men of false holiness.
5. I hate the assembly of evildoers, schemers and secret societies.  And I will not sit with the wicked, those who worship the Evil One and those who make incantations.
6. I will wash my hands in innocence.  What I say and what I do will be pure in Your eyes.  And I will go about Your altar, lifting up the name of Jesus,
7. That I may proclaim in praise and thanksgiving and give to all a testimony of Your miracles and purposes.
8. O Jesus, I love the tabernacles of Your glory and the places where You send Your glory to dwell.
9. Do not allow my soul to be taken away with sinners, nor my life to be blotted out in the bloodshed of men.
10. Protect me from the hands of wicked men and their schemes, and from the lust for money that perverts truth for bribes.
11. But this I declare, I shall walk in my integrity that comes from obeying Your Word.  Redeem me and be gracious in favor to me,
12. So that my foot stands firm on a level place, and in the congregations of God I shall bless my Savior, Jesus.

 

Father Love, You have promised that You will “faithfully bring forth justice” (Isa. 42:3b). We call on You to remember Your covenants of love with us and we say, “Rise up, O Judge of the earth…For judgment will again be righteous…” (Ps. 94:2,15). We choose to forgive all our oppressors, giving our pain to Jesus, and we leave all vengeance to You (Heb. 10:30). “Vindicate [us]…and plead [our] case… deliver [us] from the deceitful and unjust man! …” (Ps. 43:1). You “will bring forth [our] righteousness as the light And your judgment as the noonday” (Ps. 37:6). No man will be able to stand before us (Deut. 11:25). You will save your anointed and will answer us in the day of trouble (Ps. 20:1,6). We praise You, Father, for the victory, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Justice Prayer (Long Form) – You may take parts of this prayer to pray if so desired. Once the specific request is made, you should only pray prayers of thanksgiving for the answer. You may always, however, quote the Word of God on the subject].

Note: We do not intend this prayer to be prayed in its entirety in every situation. When eating in restaurants where food may be questionable, some of the items in the prayer may apply. When accepting invitations at people’s homes that you do not know well, you may decide to pray some of these matters before you leave for the meal, or under your breath if the invitation comes impromptu. We have given you many words to choose from, so you can choose which parts of the prayer you may decide to pray over your food, varying it daily so as not to fall into vain repetitions (Mat. 6:7).

Father, we thank You for this food. We curse to death any agents of blight in this food to death. We call for the blood of Jesus to neutralize any poisons or toxins in the food. We thank You that You satisfy our years with good things, so that our youth is renewed like the eagle (Ps. 103:5). You have given us our daily bread as You promised (Mat. 6:11). We have eaten food without scarcity and have not lacked anything (Deut. 8:9). You have given us the best of the land to eat (Isa. 1:19). We thank You for Your faithful, covenant promise to bless our bread and our water and to remove sickness from our midst (Ex. 23:25). You have blessed us with honey, oil, milk of the flock, the fat of lambs, and with the finest of the wheat (Det. 32:13-14). You are faithful in Your promise to give us abundant prosperity and have assured us that we would not be ashamed in the times of evil but would be blessed with abundance in the time of famine (Ps. 37:11,19). You have given us bread and unpolluted, blessed water (Isa. 33:16). You have blessed us to eat our food to the full (Lev. 26:5). Thank You for providing all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Jesus (Phil. 4:9). You have given us all sufficiency in everything (II Cor. 9:8). We thank You for blessing this food You have so graciously granted us, restoring any nutrients that have been lost, and for blessing our digestion of the food and our covenant fellowship as we eat our food with joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Father, we know Your heart is grieved to see the cruel persecution against Your people around the world. You are especially grieved to see Christians die that did not have to die, where it was not Your perfect will. We ask that You grant a knowledge and understanding of their identity in Jesus to those believers. We thank You for teaching them Your Word through Your Holy Spirit, so they can declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, that no one will lift his hand against the anointed of God, and that they will be delivered from the bloodshed of man. For those few to whom You have given the anointing of martyr, we ask that You grant them to be strong and of good courage, full of faith and the words to say in that hour so as to be an example to those who kill them. We pray that both groups will be granted the spirit and grace of forgiveness, and that they would learn to pray for their enemies so that they may be like You, their Father in heaven. We pray that You give them the strength You gave to Jesus, who, when faced with religious bigots who abused Him and prepared to murder Him, said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” We pray for kings and rulers, so that the believers worldwide may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness, peace, and dignity, and so that this gospel of the Kingdom of Love may be preached among all nations and bring about the prompt return of Jesus and a subsequent end of all persecution.

(Click HERE for a sermon by Robert B. Scott, entitled “Feasts of Freedom,” which explains the spring feasts of freedom and adds details and further prayers regarding the release from falseness...)

 Father, we thank You for letting us recognize the areas of falseness in our lives. We confess that our acceptance and participation in the falseness was wrong. We confess all the areas of falseness in our lives (Name all the areas of falseness.) We reject the acceptance and past involvement in falseness we have had in our lives. We repent for this falseness we have harbored and even for rejecting Your past warnings for being involved with them. We ask for Your hand, Father, upon our lives to bring the changes necessary in rejecting those areas of falseness we can remember now and all the areas the Holy Spirit may bring to remembrance from time to time. When we see these areas of falseness, we choose to reject them in favor of Your Word. We call for an infusion of Your truth in our mind and heart so that the damage that falseness causes can be healed and that Your Word can be alive in us. We ask that Jesus be Divine Master of our lives. We surrender our old brain patterns to Him for whatever adjustment is necessary in getting these false programs out of our lives. We praise You, Father, for the freedom from the past falseness. We reject all the demons that have created this falseness and all their hold over our lives. We bind them up in chains of confusion, cut them off from all support and send them back to the pit, in Jesus’ name. Thank You, Father, for this freedom. In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen. (followed by communion.)

When trust is broken, how do you earn back that trust?

Sometimes this seems impossible. Even if a person has forgiven you for betraying them, they can take years to recover from the incident or maybe never. God has provided a way, however, to make the restoration of trust possible and in a shorter period of time.

First of all, we need to deal with the hurt and sorrow in our own heart. When you have blown it, committed a serious sin against another person, a wall is erected. As Proverbs says, a person deeply offended, and in this case seriously betrayed, is harder to be won than a city. A feeling of sorrow, grief and helplessness can fill our hearts in such situations.

We must lay our pain down to Jesus, and call for Him to start by healing our heart. We can declare this prayer, "I speak to my heart and call for healing by the stripes of Jesus." We then pray shalom upon the person injured, that he or she is healed by the stripes of Jesus, and that his or her heart will be opened again. We call on Jesus as Restorer.

It is important to use the appropriate verse of Scripture for each situation. Here are some powerful Scriptures you can speak over yourself and over the person you betrayed:

Isaiah 53:4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities, The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.

Jesus "came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him" (John 1:11). They betrayed the One who came to save them, torturing Him with 39 stripes from a merciless whip that tore His flesh. All of us have sinned and thus caused those stripes to be inflicted upon Jesus. We can claim healing for ourselves and others by those stripes (I Pet. 2:24).

Psalm 80:3 says, "O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved."

Boaz and Ruth symbolize Jesus and His bride, the church, so we can claim restoration by quoting Ruth 4:14: "Blessed is the [Eternal] who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. 15 May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age…"

Only God can restore a relationship broken by betrayal. All things are possible with Him.

Declaring that we are sinners and not saints is a dangerous curse that afflicts many. When we curse ourselves back into the kingdom of darkness, we open ourselves up to all that darkness has to offer, including sickness. If you have ever said this prayer, here is another prayer you need to say instead:

“Father, please forgive me for having cursed myself as a sinner. I forgive those who encouraged me to do this. I forgive myself for having spoken it. I bind up all the demons and their agents enforcing this curse in chains of confusion. I cut them off from all support. [Lifting your right arm] I take the sword of Jesus with my right hand of authority and I destroy [as you bring your arm down] all their weapons, artillery and nets. I burn up their slime and command them to go back to the pit in Jesus’ name. I rip off the sinner label from my forehead [with your right hand] in Jesus’ name. I declare that I am a saint – a child of the Kingdom of Light. Thank you Father, for the freedom from this curse. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Father, I come before You to reject and break off frustration in Jesus’ name. I forgive myself for speaking the frustration into law in my life by my words. I forgive those who have provoked or added to my frustration. I take the sword of Jesus and destroy the box of frustration that has hemmed me in. I bind up the demons causing and enforcing these frustrations in chains of confusion, cut them off from all support, command them to take all their weapons and go back to the pit in Jesus’ name. I turn all the pain and frustration over to You, Jesus, at the cross. I thank You, Father, for the freedom from these frustrations. I pray blessings into my life (or into the life of another if praying for another). I put the cross between me and the law of sowing and reaping. I seal all this in the blood of Jesus and ask for the blood of Jesus to shield against any backlash or blacklash from Satan. (Be sure to seal all this by these last words in communion).
