Prepare your heart in worship and confession
Loving Heavenly Father, I come again to worship You in the wonder of who You are.
I confess my sins to You, dear Heavenly Father. Wash me clean in my Saviour’s precious blood from all that offends You. I recognize within my person a fleshly nature that can be rebellious in Your sight. I affirm that in my union with Christ in His death I am dead to the rule of the fleshly nature.
I desire the new nature You have placed within me to be in charge through the power of my Saviour’s resurrection. Thank You for having made this new creation in righteousness and true holiness, so I can love You deeply and serve You fully.
May Your Holy Spirit enable me to manifest before You and others the fruit of His full control.
I confess that as a believer I show my poor, blind, and naked condition. Thank You that my Lord Jesus Christ has invited me to come and buy from Him gold refined in His disciplining fire. I want that gold for myself and for Your church. Anoint our eyes with the eye salve that enables us to see things as our Lord Jesus sees them.
I base every request on the merit of our Lord Jesus Christ’s
finished work. Amen.
In His book, “Reclaiming Surrendered Ground,” Jim Logan offers the following prayer of confession and cleansing that we can pray for ourselves and for our family.
“I now confess and repent of all my sins, known and unknown. I now confess the sins of my forefathers. In the name of the blood of Jesus Christ I break and renounce the power of every demonic curse that was passed down to me by the sins and actions of others. I now renounce, break, and loose myself and my family from all demonic subjection to any human being who has in the past or is now controlling me or my family in any way contrary to the Word and the will of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, I break the power and hold of every curse that has come to me through disobedience - mine or my forefathers’. I claim release and freedom through the blood of Christ. Amen.”
