Scripture to Overcome Victimization

We can sin and we can be sinned against. We can ask God to forgive us and we can forgive. We can despise others and others can despise us. We can be a reproach to others and to God. We can be vengeful to others and others can be vengeful to us. We can be offended and we can offend others. If we are a victim, then we may have attracted the victimizer. If there is an evil spirit of victimization in us or in our family, then we need to recognize it, rebuke it, refuse it. Confess it. Repent of it. In the name of Jesus, bind and place it under the feet of Jesus. Jesus can identify with you, for He too was a victim until He became a victor.

Often our mentors tell us NOT to be offended. Christ was angry at the money changers but NOT at those who crucified Him, for they did not understand what they were doing and to whom they were doing it. In fact, He was actually dying for them and for us, taking upon Himself our sins in order to forgive and erase them. Perhaps continuing to be offended is an open door for Satan to enter our hearts and our bodies bringing disease and distress. Let us look at some of the SCRIPTURES on being offended.

Offence, Offense(s), Offend(ed), Offender(s), Offensive
+ Reproach + Vengeance + Despise

                                                                 Offence or Offense

Isaiah 8:13-14 KJV    Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself. Let Him be your fear. Let Him be your dread. He shall be a sanctuary (for you), but a stumbling stone and a rock of offence to both houses of Israel, for a gin and snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Hosea 5:15 KJV    "I will go and return to My place, until they acknowledge their offense and seek My face. In their affliction they will seek Me early.

Matthew 16:23 KJV    He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan. You are an offense to Me, for you savor not the things that are of God but those of men. (Spiritual insight = "The devil made me do it" saying may apply here.)
Matthew 18:6-10 KJV    Whoever shall offend one of these little ones (children), who believe in Me, would be better (off to have) a millstone hung about his neck and (to be) drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offense. Offences must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes. If your hand or foot offend you, cut them off and cast them from you.

Acts 24:16 KJV     I do exercise myself to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and toward men.

Romans 5:15 KJV    Through the offense of One (Adam) many are dead.
Romans 5:17 KJV    By one mans' offense death reigned.
Romans 5:18-21 KJV    By the offense of one judgment came upon men to condemnation, but by the righteousness of One the free gift came upon all men to justification. By one man's disobedience many were made sinners. By the obedience of One shall many be made righteous. The law entered, that the offense might abound. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Sin has reigned to death, so that grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 9:33 KJV    Behold, I lay in Zion (Jerusalem hill housing the temple and King David's residence) a stumbling stone and rock of offense. Whosoever believes on Him (Jesus Christ the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament) shall not be ashamed.
Romans 14:20-21 KJV    All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for that man who eats with offense. It is not good to eat flesh, drink wine, or do anything that causes your brother to stumble, be offended, or made weak.

1st Corinthians 1:22-25 NIV    God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs. Greeks look for wisdom. We preach Christ crucified - a stumbling block (an offense) to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God. The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom. The weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
1st Corinthians 10:32 KJV     Give no offense, neither to Jews, Gentiles, nor the church of God.

2nd Corinthians 6:3 KJV    Give no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed.

Galatians 5:10-15 NIV    The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense (stumbling block) of the cross has been abolished (removed)...You, my brothers, were called to be free. Do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature. Rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command, "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

Philippians 1:10 KJV    Be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ.

1st Peter 2:6-8 KJV    Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. He that believes on Him shall not be confounded. To you He is precious. To them which are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed is the same which is made the corner stone, a stone of stumbling, a rock of offense.

Chapter 26 deals with The Offense of the Cross.

                                                           Offences or Offenses

Ecclesiastes 10:4-6 KJV    If the spirit (anger) of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place, for yielding pacifies (playing the victim allows) great offenses. There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as error which proceeds from the ruler. Folly is set in great dignity.

Romans 4:20-25 KJV   He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. He was fully persuaded that what He had promised, He was able to perform. Therefore it was imputed (credited) to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone. It was imputed to him, and also for us. It shall be imputed to whomever believes on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, Who was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification.
Romans 5:16 KJV    The judgment was by one (man Adam) to condemnation. The free gift is (the erasing) of many offenses to justification.

                                                                         Offend

It is better to enter into (eternal) life maimed, than have 2 hands and go to hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, where their worm does not die." (Spiritual insight = This is a figure of speech. We are not to dismember ourselves.)
Mark 9:45,47 KJVer    "If your foot offend, cut it off. It is better to enter halt (lame) into (eternal) life, than to be cast into hell with 2 feet, where the worm does not die nor the fire is quenched."
Luke 17:2 KJVer "It would be better for him to be cast into the sea with a millstone be hung about his neck, than for him to offend one of these little ones."
John 6:61 KJVer    When Jesus knew that His disciples murmured, He said to them, "Does this offend you?"
1st Corinthians 8:13 KJVer    If meat offends my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world stands, lest I offend my brother (cause to stumble).
James 2:10 KJVer    Whoever shall keep the whole law, yet offend (stumble) in one point, is guilty of all.
James 3:2 KJVer    In many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, he is a perfect man and also able to bridle the whole body.

He said, "Lord, will You slay also a righteous nation? Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister?' And did she not herself say, 'He is my brother?' In the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this." God said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. I withheld you from sinning against Me. I did not allow you to touch her. Now restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet and he shall pray for you. You shall live. If you do not restore her, you and all that are yours shall surely die." Abimelelch rose early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears. The men were sore afraid. Abimelech called Abraham and said, "What have you done to us? Why have I offended you? Why have you brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have not done deed to me that ought not to be done."

NIV "Withdraw from me. I will pay whatever you demand of me." The king of Assyria exacted from king Hezekiah of Judah 300 talents of silver and 30 talents of gold. Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace. Hezekiah king of Judah stripped off the gold with which he had covered the door and doorposts of the temple of the Lord and gave it to the king of Assyria.

2nd Chronicles 28:9-13 KJV    A prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was O'ded. He went out before the host that came to Samaria and said, "Because the Lord God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage that reaches up to heaven. Now you purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen, but do you not have your own sins against the Lord your God? Hear me therefore and deliver those you have taken captive of your brethren, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you."
Then certain heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai stood up against them that came from the war, and said, "You shall not bring in the captives here, for we have offended the Lord already. Do you intend to add more to our sins and trespass? Our trespass is great and there is fierce wrath against Israel."

Proverbs 18:19 KJV A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city. His contentions are like the bars of a castle.

Jeremiah 37:17-18 KJV The king Zedekiah sent (for), took out, and asked him secretly in his house, "Is there any word from the Lord?   Jeremiah said, "There is.

Book is significant for those in ministry. Chapter 14 explains that each person in the Trinity is offensive to the nonbeliever. God the Father does what pleases Himself without regard to/consent of another. His having a sovereign will is a stigma. The stigma of Jesus His Son is His cross/blood/name being the only way of salvation, the only way to heaven, the only way to eternal life. The stigma of the Holy Spirit is His presence. Finally each generation is offended in a new way, when presented with a new stigma, because the Trinity will manifest Himself differently to each new crop of descendents.

Matthew 23:29-31 NIV "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!...You say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' You testify against yourselves that you are the (innocent) descendants of those who murdered the (Old Testament) prophets." (Scriptural insight = The scribes and Pharisees were offended by Jesus, and later on participated in the crucification of their own Messiah.)

Job 19:1-21 NIV 1Then Job replied (to Bildad, Eliphaz and Zophar), 2"How long will you torment me and crush me with words? 310 times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me. 4IF it is true that I have gone astray, my error remains my concern alone. 5IF indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me, 6then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me. 7Though I cry, 'I've been wronged!' I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. 8He has blocked my way, so I cannot pass; He has shrouded my paths in darkness. 9He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. 10He tears me down on every side till I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me; He counts me among His enemies. 12His troops advance in force; they build a siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent. 13He has alienated my brothers from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. 14My kinsmen have gone away; my friends have forgotten me. 15My guests and maidservants count me a stranger; they look upon me as an alien. 16I summon my servant, but he does not answer, though I beg him with my own mouth. 17My breath is offensive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own brothers. 18Even the little boys scorn me; when I appear, they ridicule me. 19All my intimate friends detest me; those I love have turned against me. 20I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth. 21Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for (it appears that) the hand of God has struck me. (Spiritual insight = Job did not understand until later that God had withdrawn His protection and allowed Satan to test him. Remember, God allowed Satan to test Jesus, too, especially at the beginning and end of His ministry.)

Vengeance

Genesis 4:15 NIV The Lord said to him, "Not so, if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance 7 times over." Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

Deuteronomy 32:35 KJV "To Me belongs vengeance and recompense. Their foot shall slide in due time, for the day of their calamity is at hand."

Psalm 149:6-9 KJV Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, a 2 edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance upon the heathen and punishments upon the people, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute upon them the judgment written. This honor have all His saints. Praise you the Lord.

Isaiah 35:3-5 KJV "Strengthen the weak hands. Make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful hearted, 'Be strong. Do not fear!' Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With the recompense of God, He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened. The ears of the deaf shall be unstopped."
Isaiah 61:1-4 KJV The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tiding to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn, to appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified. They shall build the old wastes, raise up the former desolations, and repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

Jeremiah 30:16-17 KJV "All they who devour you shall be devoured. All your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. They that spoil you shall be a spoil. All who prey upon you, will I give for (them to be) a prey. I will restore health to you. I will heal you of your wounds," says the Lord, "because they (your enemy/demons/evil spirits) called you an Outcast, saying, 'This is Zion, whom no man seeks after (to rescue).'" (Spiritual insight = Satan works in us and in others to do evil. Our real enemy is Satan not man.)

Romans 12:19-21 NIV Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath. It is written, "It is Mine to avenge. I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Another sinful attitude is to abor or despise
that thing/which or individual/who God does not.

Leviticus 26:15-43 KJVer "14If you will not harken to (heed/obey/listen to) Me and will not do all these commandments, 15and if you shall despise (detest/scorn) My statutes, if your soul abhors (hates) My judgments, so that you will not do all My commandments, but (rather) break My covenant, 16(then) I will appoint over you terror, consumption (wasting diseases), and the burning ague (fever), that shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. You shall sow seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17I will set My face against you. You shall be slain before your enemies. They that hate you shall reign over you. You shall flee when none pursue you.
18If you will not for (after) all this yet (now) harken to Me, then I will punish you 7 times more for your sins. 19I will break the pride of your power. I will make heaven as iron and earth as brass. 20Your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield increase; neither shall trees of the land yield their fruit. 21If you walk contrary to Me and will not harken to Me, I will bring 7 times more plagues (Revelation 15:1 afflictions) upon you according to your sins. 22I will send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. Your highways shall be desolate. 23If you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but walk contrary to Me, 24then I will walk contrary to you and will punish you 7 times for your sins. 25I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of My covenant. When you are gathered together inside your cities, I will send pestilence among you. You shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26When I have broken the staff of your bread, 10 women shall bake your bread in 1 oven. The shall deliver your bread by weight. You shall eat and not be satisfied.
27If you will not for (after) all this hearken to Me, but walk contrary to Me, 28then I will walk contrary to you. In fury I, even I, will chastise you 7 times for your sins. 29You (in your rebellion and blindness) shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. 30I will destroy your high places and cut down your images and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols. My soul shall abhor you (until you repent). 31I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 32I will bring the land into desolation. Your enemies who dwell there shall be astonished. 33I will scatter you among the heathen and draw out a sword after you. Your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. 34Then the land shall enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate. You shall be in your enemies' land. Then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths. 35As long ass it lies desolate it shall rest, because it did not rest on your Sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it. 36Upon those who are left alive, in the land of their enemies I will sent faintness into their hearts. The sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them. They shall flee, as (though) fleeing from a sword. They shall fall when none pursues. 37They shall fall one upon another, as (though) it were before a sword, when none pursues. You shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38You shall perish among the heathen. The land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39They who are left shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies lands. In the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine (waste) away with them.
40(However) if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me and (confess/repent) that they have walked contrary to Me;
41(if they understand/admit/realize/acknowledge) that I have walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies (as a punishment and have allowed Satan to cause the consequences of their actions to fall on their heads according to predetermined/published consequences/laws), then if their uncircumcised hearts be (are) humbled and they then accept the (past) punishment of their iniquity, 42thenI will remember My covenant with Jacob, My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham. I will remember the land. 43The land shall left of (safe in escrow for) them and shall enjoy its Sabbaths."

1st Samuel 2:25 NIV 25"If a man sins against another man, God may mediate for him; but if a man sins against the Lord, who will intercede for Him?" (Repent immediately while there is still time!)
1st Samuel 2:30 NIV "The Lord, God of Israel declares, 'I promised that your house and your father's house would minister before Me forever.' Now the Lord declares, 'Far be it from Me! Those who honor Me I will honor, but those who despise Me will be disdained (not esteemed).'"

Ezekiel 20:13 KJVer "The house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not walk in
My statues. They despised My judgments, [which if a man does (obey) he shall even live in them (protected by them)]. My Sabbaths they have greatly polluted. Then I said, 'I will pour out My fury on them in the wilderness to consume them.'" (Spiritual insight = The laws parents/guardians/God make are to provide a fence/protection from harm/evil/demons/foxes/enemies. Sin leaves the gate open for a fox to snatch a sheep.)

1st Corinthians 11:20-22 NIV When you come together (for communion), it is not the Lord's supper you eat, for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry; another gets drunk. Don't you have homes to eat and drink in, or do you despise (insult) the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing?

Psalm 51:17 KJVer The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. O God, You will not despise a broken and contrite heart.
Psalm 73:20 NIV When You arise, O Lord, You will despise them as fantasies (night terrors/nightmares) as a (bad) dream when one awakes.

Proverbs 1:7 KJVer The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 23:22 KJVer Harken to your father that fathered you, and despise not your mother when she is old.

Isaiah 60:14-15 KJVer "The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you. All who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They shall call you, 'The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.' You have been forsaken and hated (despised), so that no man went through you. I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations."

1st Thessalonians 4:8-9 KJVer Therefore, he who despises, despises not man, but God, Who has also given to us His Holy Spirit. As touching (on/regarding) brotherly love, you (do) need not that I write to you, for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

As clergy and deliverance ministers, we are to forget the sins confessed to us, as does God, when He places them under the blood of His Son Jesus Christ. Frank Hammond in Pigs in the Parlor reminds us to look at Numbers 18:9-10 KJVer Every meat, sin and trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render to Me shall be most holy for you and for your sons. In the most holy place you shall eat it, every male shall eat it. It shall be holy to you. The other reminder is the lamb that had sins placed on its head before it was taken outside the camp. In other words, we are NEVER to gossip, not even to the members of our own household.

If our sins/trespasses are eaten/consumed or taken out of God's sight, then they are NOT held against us. The only 1 who remembers them is our enemy the devil. It is he who condemns us, FALSELY. The Holy Spirit convicts us of unforgiven sins, so we will apologize. After repentance, if we still "feel" guilty or if we are terrorized by condemning voices/visions, check to see if that feeling/voice/apparition is from the enemy, the unholy evil spirit.
Additionally, remember, evil spirits can speak aloud through humans. Jesus Christ rebuked Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan.", for the words Peter spoke were on that day not human nor holy, but an attempt of the devil to thwart the will of God for Him to go to the Cross. Those words caused strife in the life of Jesus. Reduce your time with those people who cause/trigger condemnation or false guilt/inferiority in your life. Increase your time with church people who love on you.

If in fact we are guilty, then we must confess to God, immediately, now in the car, bathroom, closet, anywhere. Then immediately God declares us NOT guilty. Otherwise God is a liar. It is Satan, who is the liar. Pay attention to what God, not Satan says. Neither, God, His angels, nor Jesus cause shame after you repent. Oppression is always from the enemy! Read your Bible aloud to the enemy. He will flee.

Be sure you have asked Jesus to be your forgiver of sins, your brother, your savior, your Lord, your deliverer from problems and evil, and your doctor and healer. NO one can fix himself. Neither can can friend, relative or medical person fix you. They only assist God. It is Father God Who we need to enlist and rely on. It is He who we need to thank.
NOW is the time to do that. Let us pray.

Father God, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
I apologize for all my sins, especially ___________and _____________.
I apologize for all my parents sins.
I apologize for all the sins in my family.
Please forgive all these sins I present to You now.
I place them under the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son,
Who died on the cross
Who took the punishment for those sins,
and spared us from the penalty of eternal hell.
I reject and refuse those sins in my life.
If I should relapse, with Your help,
I will immediately repent of, reject and refuse each sin. (see prayer below)
I ask Jesus Christ to become my savior and lord
and to come into my life by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
I accept Your forgiveness.
I accept Jesus as my savior and lord.
Today _______________________ is my spiritual birthday.
Happy birthday to me!
I have a new identity, as does new bride,
for today I have been adopted into the family of God.
God is my dad.
Jesus is my brother.
Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross and rising from the dead,
ready to take me to my heavenly home, when my body stops breathing.
Thank You Father God for loving me so much.
I love You too.

                    O my God, as I am dust while alive, how much more so when dead.
                    O may it be Your will that I sin not again.
                    As to the sins which I have committed, I am sorry.
                    Purge them away in Your abounding compassion.
                    Pardon my iniquities.
                    Blot out my transgressions and sins before Your eyes.
                    Amen.
                    Father God, thank You for removing that sin away as far as the east is from the west.
                    Father God, thank You for remembering it no more!
                    Father God, with Your help, I too will remember it no more.

Kelley, Earthquake Order book #1122 "Bound to Lose, Destined to Win" http://earthquakekelleyministries.org/books/ Chapter 2 - A Curse of Voodoo - There are "names and assigned duties of the spirits that attach themselves to people who engage in sexual relationships outside of marriage." "Erzulie" is "the main principality that rules over any king of sexual perversion...Some voodoo practitioners pray to this spirit, beat drums, go into a trance, and have sexual relations with people all night long - and sometimes all week long." "The Fox spirit...causes separation and division."
Chapter 3 - Turning Around and Turning Back - "Most of the girls I knew who became prostitutes were lacking a father figure. They were looking for a man to be their daddy...
People who hire prostitutes or engage in prostitution can become possessed by many demonic spirits. And when the spirit that causes hate possesses them, a customer will think nothing of strangling a prostitute to death."
(Scripture says that God's people die due to a lack of knowledge. Bind those sexual spirits and loose yourself from them, in Jesus' name.)

They share a WONDERFUL miracle of a child, a twin, being rescued from the womb of a dead woman as she was being buried. This orphan child nursed off the animals' milk (goats and camels) to stay alive. God appeared to Richard, at about age 6, and revealed Jesus to him. Now, Richard, an African youth, like so many wounded/broken children, has become a vehicle of God's healing other children, when he prays for them. Rather than exclusively using priests and adults, God more and more is raising up children to be His arms and legs and heart and power.

Paige Byne Shortal in her 7/16/2006 weekly sundaybulletins@liguori.org admonishes us, "Don't hold
on to anything that can hold you up, weigh you down, or prevent you from proclaiming the kingdom.
We're suppose to travel so light that we even shake off the dust of rejection, the emotional baggage
that haunts us, the fear of failure, the cautionary pettiness we so often bring to faith, hope and love."

Nature reminds us that in a desert, plant roots need to go way way down to get to the water deep below, which reminds us that in our desert (wilderness of life) we need to put our roots down deep into the Trinity, our holy water of life.

When forgiving and repenting we need to remember that the blood of Jesus needs to be applied to not only our own personal mistakes (sins) but also to those mistakes (sins/iniquities) of others, especially when we are the victim or victimizer.
Papa God, in Your son Jesus' name we apologize for not only our own unhealthy reactions/responses to hurt, but also apologize for our family, ancestors, offenders, and enemies whose mistakes/sins/iniquities have nailed us to a cross, pierced/wounded/harmed us, or cursed/infected/oppressed us with inherited diseases/deformities/insanities/demons. We bind all harm and loose all blessing, in Jesus' name.
In Jesus name we curse at the roots and command to die all that is of the enemy Satan. Bitterness die.
Hate die. Self condemnation die. Self pity die. Depression die. Accusation die. Unloving spirit die. Excessive self absorption die. Excessive self centeredness die. Die at the roots! In Jesus name we loose the fruit of Your Holy Spirit into our lives - love, peace, kindness, mercy, gentleness, tenderness, joy, hope, expectation.
Thank You Papa God. We expect good to begin to blossom in our lives, beginning today. Amen.
