C. Bitterness

• The Bitterness Affidavit 1G -1a

Make the list of all the bitterness you have against others. We need to confess and repent before Almighty God for holding onto this bitterness and believing it, instead of believing Him. The stronghold that bitterness has held in your life will be destroyed, and Satan’s power over you will be legally cancelled. Be thorough, and pray through each bitterness individually. Do not give the devil any "legal" access to you. Here is an example of a prayer you can use to deal with bitterness, and eliminate it from your life (Remember, bitterness gains entrance to us from unforgiveness – think about each person who have ever hurt you and write out their name and what their offenses were – pray the “Prayer of Release” for each item on this list – this goes along with forgiveness):

III.   Take Action By Taking Responsibility – Homework (continued)

C. Bitterness

• Prayer of Release 1G -1b

In the name of Jesus, I purpose and choose to forgive (the person) from my heart for (what they did). In the name of The Lord Jesus, I cancel all their debts and obligations to me.

Dear Lord, I ask You to forgive me for my bitterness towards (the person) in this situation.

In the name of Jesus, and by the power of His blood, I cancel Satan's authority over me in this memory because I have forgiven.

In the name of Jesus, I command that all the tormentors that have been assigned to me because of my unforgiveness leave me, now.

Holy Spirit, I invite you into my heart, and to heal me of this pain. Please speak your words of truth to me about this situation.

 

Note:

Goal is for deliverance; not speeding through the prayers. If an issue returns, write it in your “Forgiveness Journal” (label which one of these issues are trying to return –deal with issues as they arise not let them control you again) and let me know so we can pray through that memory again in the next session. Therefore, praying through the issues may take longer than one session or two or even three sessions.

 

May God Continually Bless You and Keep You!
