This an exercise in prayer to break those agreements we’ve made with the enemy. You’re asking God to reveal these agreements to you. When He reveals them…break them. They will come to you in prayer sometimes in hearing sentences in your heard like “you’re such a ____ idiot”. It may be a feeling and God will remind you of a persistent feeling of shame, guilt or fear. Sometimes, you’ll actually remember a scene and play it out again in your mind. It may be a scene of a father wound, something an older brother did to you or against you, a wound from your Mom or a grandparent, teacher, coach, boss or old girlfriend. You’ll have that scene rush back to you in vivid detail. Other ways agreements will be revealed – what are the phrases you constantly say to yourself? You know, your own self-talk, things that you thought were just you speaking. “You’re a failure”. “You’ll never match up”. “You are a disappointment”. “You can never do anything right”, etc.
Lord, I come under the refuge of Jesus Christ. I am safe in the shelter of God. I take my refuge in your Cross, your resurrection and in your ascension.
I simply ask you, Spirit of Truth, reveal to me, show me the agreements I have been making.
Strip away the fog. I bring the work of my Lord Jesus Christ, the power of His Cross, His shed blood, the power of His resurrection, the power of His authority and His throne against all numbness, dullness, malaise, all forms of fog, all veils that are surrounding my spirit, soul, body or mind. I cut off this numbness.
Jesus, you say I have the mind of Jesus Christ. I unite my mind to your mind, my heart to your heart, my will to your will. Again Holy Spirit, show me. What are the agreements I have been making with my enemy? What lies have I believed?
(silent…listen…be still)
show me Lord Jesus, show me. Expose those things. Come. Shine your light here…
(silent…listen…be still)
As you start to get clarity … break them in Jesus’ name.
Lord, show me the agreements I’ve made – even just today or this week. Show me the agreements I’ve made about you Father.
Show me what has hounded me all my life. What is it Father? What has hounded me all my life?
I break this agreement, these agreements in the authority of Jesus Christ. I renounce it. I renounce all the ways I’ve given the enemy a place in my life. I renounce it. Jesus come into these places. Bring Truth. Bring Life.
If this is connected to a wound, Jesus come into this wound and heal. I renounce fear, self-hatred, confusion and disqualification. I renounce every agreement I’ve made as a man that I can’t do this, that is “too much”. I renounce every agreement I’ve made that I’ll never trust anyone again. I renounce every agreement I’ve made against You Father – that You don’t come through, that I can’t trust You, that You don’t really love me.
I renounce every agreement I’ve made with fear, agreements I’ve made with safety and control. Forgive me of that. I renounce every agreement I’ve made with my enemy both known and unknown, both seen and unseen in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ. I break these agreements. I submit to God. Spirit of Truth search this out, show me. I send all this to my Lord Jesus Christ.
In your name, AMEN.
thank you so much i love you jesus and god amen
This is so powerful. God recently began to speak to me about breaking agreements I’ve made with the devil, consciously or unconsciously. Finding this is so timely. Now I’m walking in conscious and intentional agreement with God’s Word. Praise the Lord.
Glory to God! Freedom comes from breaking those agreements and hearing what the Father has to say about you.
Interesting that you striped this prayer, almost word for word, from john eldridge in his teaching on spiritual warfare.
that’s a combination of what I’ve seen written by him and a prayer I heard him give in person.
