Prayers to Use in Gospel Ministry with People

SINNER'S PRAYER FOR SALVATION

"Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. I come a sinner and I now renounce all of my sins. I confess the sins of ……….. (name those sins) and I utterly renounce those sins in the name of Jesus Christ. I absolutely turn from them. I especially renounce any involvement in the occult (if you or your parents or ancestors have been in Freemasonry or Druids Lodge you should especially renounce that involvement). I renounce all the works of the devil.

I believe Jesus Christ came into this world, born of a virgin, that He walked this earth, that He was crucified on a cross and that He died in order to cleanse me from all sin, to reconcile me to You, Heavenly Father, and that through His precious blood He bought me back from the hand of the devil. I believe He paid the total penalty for all of the sins I have ever committed and that through His blood I am cleansed, redeemed and sanctified, that is set apart to God, and justified, that is just as if I had never sinned.

I believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day and is seated now at the right hand of God. I turn to You, Lord Jesus. I turn away from the power of darkness to the power of light, from the power of Satan to the power of God and I ask You, Lord Jesus, to come into my life by Your Holy Spirit. I surrender absolutely to You and I confess You as my Lord and my Saviour."

PRAYER FOR BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

You should encourage all persons seeking the baptism with the Holy Spirit to say the following prayer together out loud:

"Dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce all my sins. I especially renounce all involvement in the occult or witchcraft on my own part or on the part of my parents or ancestors. I honour my mother and father and I forgive them for any sins, real or imagined. I renounce their sins and the sins of my ancestors. I renounce fear, unbelief, doubt, blockage of mind, wrong doctrine, secular humanism and anything which may prevent me from receiving everything that You would want to give me. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ all my sins have been forgiven. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been cleansed. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been redeemed. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been justified, just as if I had never sinned. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been sanctified, set apart and made holy to God. I ask You, Lord Jesus, to baptise me now with the Holy Spirit. Thank You Lord."

After this prayer has been said by each person, the counsellors should lay hands on them, asking God to anoint them, and encourage them to speak in tongues. The counsellor should also speak in tongues to encourage the candidate.

PRAYER FOR HEALING

(a) Everybody should be invited to go on their knees and confess their sins and renounce them. This should particularly include any involvement with unforgiveness, anger, hatred, bitterness, resentment, the occult, present or past adultery or abortion.

(b) They should then all be invited to stand and say the following prayer together out loud:

"Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I come in true repentance and I now repent in particular from all past bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, resentment, hatred.

I especially renounce any involvement in the occult. I honour my mother and father, and I forgive them and I renounce their sins and the sins of my ancestors.

I ask You, Holy Spirit, to come now in power and touch me for complete healing within and without."

(c) As soon as this prayer is uttered, the counsellor should begin to lay hands on the various people. If there are enough counsellors, it would be good if two could lay on hands together, but otherwise one will do.

(d) As with most counselling, each person should be counselled by a person of the same sex where possible or by two counsellors who are working together as a team.

PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE

(a) The people seeking deliverance should be invited to go onto their knees and confess their sins and renounce them, especially anything involved with the occult, unforgiveness, adultery or abortion, then stand again, ready for prayer.

(b) Then two counsellors should stand with each person to be prayed for. If there are insufficient counsellors, then the remaining people should wait.

(c) Everybody should then be invited to say the following prayer, together out loud:

"Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I thank You Lord for Your love for me. I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and my Saviour and that He died and rose again from the dead. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been redeemed from the hand of the devil. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ all my sins have been forgiven. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been sanctified, made holy to God. I believe that through the blood of Jesus Christ I have been justified just as if I had never sinned. I now confess all my sins. I confess that in my own strength I have been unable to defeat the attacks of the enemy. I specifically renounce the following sexual sins ………. I confess I have been wrong. I renounce all pleasure connected with these sins. I now turn from my sin. I ask You, Father, to forgive me all that is past and give me discernment when the temptation arises and the strength to resist it. I ask You to heal my memories and to heal the hurts and forgive me in Jesus' name.

I also specifically renounce any other sins such as rejection, or unforgiveness. I especially forgive the following persons ………. (name them).

I specifically honour my parents and I forgive them. I renounce my own sins and the sins of my ancestors in the name of Jesus Christ. I especially renounce all idolatry, witchcraft and everything of the occult and all the hidden things of darkness. I call upon You, Lord Jesus, to set me free from every demonic power that has affected me.

Lord, I now renounce Satan and all his works. I hate his demons. I count them my enemies in the name of Jesus. I loose myself from every dark spirit, from every evil influence, from every satanic bondage, from any spirit in me that is not the Spirit of God. I command all such spirits to leave me now in the name of Jesus.

I call upon You, Lord Jesus, to set me free from every demonic power that has affected me. In the name of Jesus Christ, Risen Saviour, I command every demonic power that has lived within me or oppressed me to leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ. I declare that I am a child of the Living God and that Satan has no right to inhabit any part of me or to oppress me. I thank You Lord Jesus and I give You the glory. Amen."

At the close of this prayer, those praying for others for deliverance should command spirits to leave. Suggested prayer is as follows:

"Satan, I bind your power and command you to loose this person and come out from them now in Jesus' name. I command you to depart from them now and from this place in Jesus' name."

GENERAL PRAYERS

The following prayers are also applicable and should be said by the candidate for deliverance where the counsellor discerns that it is necessary.

THE BLOOD SCRIPTURES

The parts in Capitals can be spoken out aloud as a confession of faith.

Psalm 107: 2: "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy."

Ephesians 1: 7: "In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."

THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS I AM REDEEMED OUT OF THE HAND OF THE DEVIL. THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS ALL MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN.

1 John 1: 7: "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, IS CLEANSING ME NOW AND CONTINUALLY FROM ALL SIN.

Romans 5: 9: "Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."

THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS I AM JUSTIFIED, MADE RIGHTEOUS, JUST AS THOUGH I HAD NEVER SINNED.

Hebrews: 13: 12: "Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate."

THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS I AM SANCTIFIED, MADE HOLY, SET APART TO GOD. 1 Corinthians 6: 19& 20: "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?"

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I AM REDEEMED, CLEANSED, SANCTIFIED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. THEREFORE THE DEVIL HAS NO MORE PLACE IN ME AND NO MORE POWER OVER ME. THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS I OVERCOME SATAN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONY.

(Revelation 12: 11) REMEMBER….. To be delivered:
(1) Confess the spirit in the name of Jesus.
(2) Renounce the spirit in the name of Jesus.
(3) Forgive others.
(4) Call on the name of the Lord Jesus.
