Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus on behalf of Your church, Your people. Lord, we repent for where we have allowed a religious spirit and a performance based mentality to take root in our hearts, our ministries, our homes, and our fellowships. We repent for trying to earn Your love, approval, or blessings through our own works rather than trusting in the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
Father, we renounce every agreement we have made with religious spirits, legalism, perfectionism, fear of man, and performance based acceptance. We break their power over Your people in Jesus’ name. We cancel every assignment of the enemy that would keep Your church bound in striving, control, judgment, and spiritual pride.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we command every religious spirit, spirit of legalism, perfectionism, fear, and striving to loose Your people and go now. You have no further authority over the church, the body of Christ, or its leaders. Leave in the name of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, we ask You to come and fill every place where these spirits once had a foothold. Restore to Your people a heart of love, intimacy, joy, peace, and true sonship. Release a fresh revelation of Your grace, that we would walk in the freedom Jesus purchased for us. Let us be a church that worships in spirit and in truth, not in dead works or religious performance.
We declare that whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). We declare freedom and deliverance over the body of Christ, over our congregations, over our pastors and leaders. We proclaim that we are children of God, accepted, loved, and made righteous through Jesus alone.
Father, break every yoke of religious bondage, and awaken us to true relationship with You. Thank You for Your mercy, Your grace, and Your power to deliver and heal.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen
We declare that the church is rising up in true sonship, no longer orphans but beloved children of God.
We declare a breaking of every yoke of religious bondage and a restoration of intimacy and passion with Jesus.
We declare the freedom of the Holy Spirit to flow in our gatherings, our homes, and our hearts.
We prophesy a new wave of worship in spirit and in truth, free from striving and performance.
We declare that our identity is rooted in Christ alone and that we are accepted, chosen, redeemed, and loved.
We declare that religious mindsets and strongholds are crumbling and the grace of God is being revealed in power.
We decree that spiritual pride is replaced with humility, and that dead works are replaced with living faith.
We proclaim the freedom and joy of the Lord to be released over the church, for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty!
Galatians 5:1 (NKJV)
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”
Romans 8:15 (NKJV)
“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’”
Matthew 11:28-30 (TPT)
“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
Ephesians 2:8–9 (NKJV)
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
John 8:36 (NKJV)
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV)
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
Colossians 2:20-23 (NLT)
“You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, ‘Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!’? Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.”
