[Note: In healing ministry, we require that prior to the first ministry session the suppliant recite out loud this Renunciation of All Lies every day for seven days. It needs reiteration and time to sink in. Please be intentional and deliberate in your recitation. These are serious words and I assure you will not be taken flippantly by the Lord, so best not to approach them flippantly…]
RENUNCIATION OF ALL LIES
My Father in heaven, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the hearing of my enemies, I hereby confess, repent of, and renounce the following:
- The LIE that I am “not worthy” to receive healing. First, it is a lie from the pit. Second, it doesn’t even make sense. Your healing has already been provided to all of your children through the cross of Christ. All who are in Christ may access your gift of being healed through faith and patience. And I intend to exert every part of my being to do so!
- The LIE that my affliction is from you, Lord. I totally reject that lie. I am not under judgment, and you are not “disciplining” me with this horrid [cancer/affliction/depression…etc], as I am under your grace and favor and lavish blessing. It is a slander of your great name to believe and act on the basis that this nightmare is your doing. I reject it completely and shall never entertain it again!
- The LIE that healing and rescue is for New Testament times and not for today. I hereby affirm that “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever”, that He was sent “to destroy the works of the devil”, and that He sent every believer to do the same! I accept that assignment and commission and totally reject this “tradition of men” and any other theology which gives the Enemy standing in my life!
- The LIE that I must somehow persuade you, Father, “to do something more” than to have sent the Creator God, Jesus of Nazareth, and to have joined Him to me in the innermost part of my being. You, Father, have done it all, and now all you ask is that I believe the glory of it and start walking in the glory, truth and authority of who I now am in Christ. I now vow to walk every single day in the fullness and magnificent truth of this Gospel which is truly “far more abundantly beyond all that we can ask or imagine”!
- The multi-headed LIE, which perhaps is the most insidious of all,
-
- that I should actually prefer this horrid affliction and oppression over resuming a “normal” life,
- that I should fear interaction with people because I fear they might ‘hurt’ me,
- that I should endeavor to “protect” myself from possible emotional hurt at the cost of living a life that is intended to glorify the Living God and bring me Peace and Joy,
- that I should, by my words and actions, renounce the promises of God and the awesome life and purpose and destiny You have for me now, Lord, just to somehow preserve a life of cowardice and faithlessness,
- that I should dishonor my God with such a servile response to the attack of an Enemy which you, Father, have put UNDER MY FEET, that I should disdain your promises and accept the Enemy’s lies as my truth to live by.
NEVER AGAIN! I reject each and every one of these lies here and now! I also renounce all fear and instead embrace faith and put my trust in you and your Word. Far be it from me to ever again wilt before the Enemy’s torment, or somehow consent to prefer this horrid affliction over the life you intend for me, Father, as a Prince/Princess of the Most High God!
THANK YOU, MY GOD AND SAVIOR, FOR FORGIVING ME OF ALL OF THE ABOVE. SET ME NOW ON A PATH OF NOT COWARDICE BUT FAITH AND GLORY. LET NOTHING STOP ME FROM SHAKING OFF THESE SHACKLES AND WALKING IN THE TRUTH OF WHO I NOW AM IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. BE GLORIFIED IN MY LIFE FOREVER! IN JESUS’ NAME I PRAY. AMEN!
