Prayer of Release
Over the past few days has the Spirit brought memories of un-forgiven offenses to your thoughts? Maybe you know someone who needs to forgive another, but have been wondering how they can? This prayer isn’t magic, but it has been helpful to bring people to the freedom of forgiveness.
Prayer:
In the name of Jesus, I purpose and choose to forgive (the person) from my heart for (what they did). I acknowledge the hurt and the hate it has led to in my life and I agree to live with the consequences of their sin.
In the name of Jesus I cancel all the debts and obligations to me. I release (the person) to You, as well as my right to avenge.
Dear Lord, I ask You to forgive me for my bitterness toward (the person) in this situation. In the name of Jesus and in the power of His blood, I cancel satan’s power over me in this memory because I have forgiven and have been forgiven by God.
In the name of Jesus, I command that all the tormentors that have been assigned to me because of my un-forgiveness leave me now.
Holy Spirit, I invite You into my heart and to heal me from this pain. Please speak Your words of truth to me about this situation.
This I pray in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen
