A Prayer Claiming our Freedom in Jesus -Here is an Example
Father in heaven, it is in the powerful name of Jesus I come before you now, in deep repentance. I have found myself caught up in (name whatever yoke of bondage - bitterness, unforgiveness, resentment, spirit of revenge, hatred, victimization, fear, worry, anxiety, doubt, insecurity, abandonment, self-hatred, guilt, shame, etc), and I desire to ask for your forgiveness and the restoration of my freedom in Jesus.
Thank you, Father for the redeeming work of Jesus on the cross to set us free. We appreciate being washed by the blood of Jesus more than words can express. To be forgiven and live in the total freedom we have in Jesus with all eternity ahead of us is the greatest gift of all. So I come to you, Father, and repent of slipping out of my complete freedom into some foolish trap Satan may have set for me. In Jesus name I bind all the influence of Satan upon my mind, heart and spirit.
Father I recall scriptures like 1 John 3: 1 and Romans 8: 16-17 where I am called a child of God. In the name of Jesus I claim the full freedom you give to your children. I ask that all yokes of slavery be broken in my life and help me get back to living fully in the new mind, heart and healed spirit of the Kingdom. Father, help me to walk in life and give life away all to the glory of Jesus and yourself, Father! In my Lord Jesus' name I thank you, AMEN!
