 So, so what I'm reading is from Jeremiah chapter one, and it's Jeremiah's testimony where he says the word of the Lord. I'm reading from verse four. Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I ordained you a prophet to the nation. So we see the Lord declaring Jeremiah to be commissioning him. And he's saying I ordained you as a prophet to the nations. And then we see just going down to, you know, then all that conversation happens where he says, Lord, I'm young, I'm a youth. And the Lord says, do not say that, etc. Whatever I command you, you shall speak. Verse nine, verses nine and 10. Then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set this day. I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant. And, you know, a wonderful thing is that he fills Jeremiah's mouth with his words. He commissions him and he fills him with his word. And he says this day I have, you know, this is what I've set you to do over the nations, over the kingdoms, which means over the different people groups, over the different, you know, people living on the earth. This is what I'd like you to do. I want you to do. My word will accomplish certain things, but this is my word in your mouth. Like when you speak it, when you minister it, when you declare it, not only will you root out, which means not only will you uproot and destroy and throw down, pull down certain things, but you will also plant and build and nurture and establish. So, it is so with us as well, because probes like plainly declare that death and life are in the power of the tongue. So it's not, you know, it's not just that we speak words and it gets done, but if we speak or when we repeat, when we speak forth from a place of faith, the words that God has declared, the word that God is quickening. And that is what happens. There is a fruiting that happens. There is a pulling down that happens. And there is also a nurturing, a planting establishing that happens. There's a building that happens. So today, you know, let's just acknowledge that and whatever the Lord is quickening to our hearts. Let's be, you know, careful to speak that over our lives, sing it over our lives joyfully, not shout it, and just whisper that over our lives, right? Let's do that. Father, we thank you. Lord, we thank you, Lord, as it, as you did with Jeremiah, Lord. And so you've called and commissioned us, each one of us, Lord. Lord, we thank you that you continue to, Lord, quicken your word to us, continue to fill us with your word. Lord, as we intentionally expose ourselves, Lord, present ourselves before you to receive your word. Lord, we pray that, Lord, we will speak that over our lives, God, that we will speak it and we know that it will accomplish the purpose for which it is, Lord, spoken and declared, God. Lord, maybe be careful to sing it, maybe be careful to whisper it, maybe be careful to proclaim it, oh, God, over ourselves, over life situations and circumstances, God. Lord, maybe proclaim and declare your word, Father, God. Yes, Lord, over ourselves, Father, God, our identity of who we are. Lord, a calling, Master, that we will be sure. And Lord, steadfast in it, oh, Father, God. Yes, Father, God. Lord, even right now, I just pray, may there be a renewal, a renewing, oh, God, that we will not grow weary, Father, God, while we are doing this, that we will not be passive, that we will be, Lord, yes, Lord, but our spirit will be sharp, that we will be sharp in our heart, in our mind, Father, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, Lord. We come at this day, this time, into your mighty hands, and we pray that you'll continue to speak to us, administer to us, God. We thank you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Okay, so today we are going to continue from where we stopped, which is the restoration of the soul, receiving healing and deliverance. So we looked at a couple of things, you know, just wanted to reiterate that, that healing and deliverance comes through sanctification and consecration, meaning when we set ourselves apart. When we set ourselves apart to the purpose of God, when we remove ourselves, you know, consecrate means to, or sanctify means to set, being set apart, right? So you remove yourselves from whatever is contaminating, right? When we know, okay, this is contaminating, when we remove ourselves, distance ourselves from that which contaminates, that which pulls us down. Now that's one part of it, but we can consecrate ourselves unto God, which means we move ourselves towards Him, right, who sanctifies. So then we see that there is, the minute we do that, there is a clearing, there is a freeing that happens because of His presence and power, right? So healing and deliverance happens, emotional healing, deliverance happens when we sanctify ourselves unto God. When we do that continually, it's an ongoing thing. So we saw that. The second thing we saw was that healing and deliverance happens because of God's presence and also through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, right? Which is the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. We read that the anointing oil breaks the yoke, which is the work of the Holy Spirit, ministry of the Holy Spirit. So through the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God, there is the healing and deliverance that happens. And also healing and deliverance happens when we actively resist, right? We read James 4, 7 says, Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. So there is that active resistance that is required on our part where we say, because of our authority and our identity and what has been given to us. So we say, you know, this is it. You cannot cross that line. You cannot come any further and you have no authority, nothing at all to do this. You cannot influence. So we actively resist the work of the enemy, right? So work of the powers of darkness and then, you know, we experience healing and deliverance, right? So this is going to go through a series of steps. Let me just share that also. So we can go through a series of steps the way by which we can actually walk in this kind of sanctification and consecration to God, right? So let's look at that. So this is something that it's not, you know, at the outset to say that it's not a formula. It's not, you know, these are a series of steps, guidelines. And definitely it is, you know, it is scripture all through and it is, you know, an ongoing act of surrender. And so this is something that we can do personally for ourselves and also lead others in this. Minister to others in this. And so let's look at that, right? Let me just share that. Let us coming up. Yeah. So let's look at the first one. First one is, of course, the first step is to repent, right? We all know what repentance is. Repentance is to turn away from something that we are doing and it's a 180 degree turn. So it's a choice. It's a decision that we make. Now, yes, of course, it will involve some emotion in the sense it will involve some remorse. But that's not the whole thing, right? Like we can feel remorseful or we can, you know, feel bad about something that we have done and not really repent, right? So repentance is actually turning away. Repentance is actively turning away. So that's the thing, right? It is to turn away completely. It is to make a choice, make a decision and turn towards God. Okay, so turn away from whatever is wrong and turn towards God. Okay, so that's something that we can definitely do on an ongoing journey. And the best thing is this, you know, we have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit and God speaks to us and shows us and kind of shines the light on what other things that we need to repent from. Okay, so we can just completely rely on that, right? So you don't have to just rack our brains and say, God, what is it? What is it? It depends on the Holy Spirit, right? And say, Lord, whatever it is that you are showing, whatever it is you're telling me to repent from, God, I want to do that, right? And there are certain things that we know already. We know, you know, we know that we've been harboring this ill will. We've been having these thoughts, we've been speaking these words. There are things that we know that we've already know of, already conscious of, you know. So we repent of that. We confess and repent of that, right? Okay, so let's take that first step. So this, you know, we're just going to take some time to do this. And so maybe if you're, you know, if you're sitting in a quiet place, that's very conducive to doing this. You can close your eyes and you can, you know, we can go through this, go through these steps. But if you're going to be in a very busy place and you're still trying to listen to the class, then you can watch the video later, right? And do this. Okay, so let's take some time to repent, you know. So we can say, we can pray something like this and say, Lord, I confess and repent of wrong thoughts, wrong thought patterns. I repent of wrong things that I've been believing about yourself, Lord, wrong things that I've been believing about myself, about others. I repent of that. Okay, so if there's anything specific that you want to repent of, you know, you can tell the Lord that and say, Lord, this is what I've been believing about you. This is what I've been harboring in my heart. God, this is what I've been, you know, I've been continuously walking in and so God, I repent from that. Okay, so you acknowledge to God, acknowledge to Him and say, yes, Lord, I acknowledge, I confess that I've been doing this, but I want to make a choice now. I want to make a decision now to turn away from that. You know, it could be words that we've been speaking, I mean speaking, sorry. Words that we've been speaking over ourselves, words that we've spoken over maybe our family members. You know, if you're aware of anything, you can just specifically say, Lord, I'm sorry that I said this. I'm sorry that I've been speaking this, believing this and declaring this over even my own family members or my spouse or my relatives and all my children. Lord, I confess I shouldn't have and I repent of that. Okay, if there's any sin, if there's anything, any act of sin that we've been habitually engaged in, you know, things that we've been seeing, what we've been watching, maybe something, something on the net, something on TV or something that we've been reading, maybe what we've been listening to, it could be anything of that or it could be something whatever it is. If the Holy Spirit is pointing out, you could just say, Lord, I'm sorry that I did this and I know that it is, it's not honouring you, it's not pleasing you, it's grieving you, aware of that, God, so I repent of that, Lord. I repent of that. I make a decision not to do it, not to engage in it. Yes, Lord, thank you. Just ask the Lord, Lord, is there anything that I need to be repenting of? And if he's showing something, you could make a decision, right? Okay, the next step, we ask for forgiveness. We looked at the scripture 1 John chapter 1 verses 7 to 9, if we confess our sin, you know, he is faithful and just to forgive us of all unrighteousness. So he's faithful, he is just to forgive us of all unrighteousness. So we can confess, he's not going to make fun of us, he's not going to ridicule us for confessing it, but he's going to actually forgive, right? So we can do that, we can just ask for forgiveness. Also Romans chapter 5 and verse 8, while we were yet sinners, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. And that's how much he loves, that's how real his love is, so tangible and so practical while we were yet sinners. So yes, when we confess, he is faithful to forgive. So why don't we take this time to just ask for forgiveness? Say Lord, we ask for your forgiveness, we ask for your mercy, we ask for your forgiveness. Because we have hurt you, we have dishonored you, oh God. And so Lord we ask, you will forgive, but you will cleanse, but you will wash us God. And even as we ask for forgiveness, what really gives us that confidence the Lord will forgive is the completed work of Christ on the cross. That is what makes us free, that is what makes us whole, the completed work of Christ on the cross. So right now as we go before him, we put our trust in him and say God, yes Lord, we come before you, we believe in the full and final and completed work on the cross. So what did he complete on the cross, what did he finish on the cross? He took our sin, he took our sickness, he took every curse on that cross. We know that the cross is a historical fact, what happened on the cross. History never disproves that. But we also know that there is a spiritual significance of what happened on the cross. There was not just a physical death that happened, but he carried something of significance, something that was hindering us from him. From walking within and the Bible calls it sin. And so he carried our sin, the consequence of it, the outworking of it, everything he carried upon himself. So believe in the finished and final work on the cross. And we can pray something like this. Heavenly Father, I believe that the Lord Jesus died on the cross for me, died for me on the cross. He shed his blood for me. And I know that I'm washed and redeemed by his blood. I know that I'm made whole through what he did, what he actually suffered on the cross so that I could be healed, I could be made whole. So we can right now talk about those things, those areas that the cross has covered. Maybe it's a stubborn sin. Maybe it's some part of our temperament that we are just prone to. Maybe it is something like fear or worry or anger and rage. Or it could be some act of sin. Or it could be something physical that keeps manifesting in our body, some symptom. Some levels in our bodies like maybe blood sugar or whatever. It could be some parameters which are just off. Which the cross has actually covered. As I have 53, this is 4 and 5. He carried our grief, he carried our pain. It talks about things that are in the emotional realm, things that are in the physical realm. So he carried it upon himself. And the reason is that by his stripes we are made whole. So let's believe and receive right now. Let's believe and receive right now. Let's say, Lord, I thank you that you carried this on the cross. Yes, I believe that. Yes, I believe that. There's nothing that we can argue against that God. There's no logic, there's no reasoning that we can bring against the finished work of the cross. For you have so plainly stated it, God. Thank you that we've been, Lord, you've taken every curse as Galatians declares. So that the blessing of Abraham might come upon us in Christ Jesus. Lord, we thank you that whatever be the nature of the acts and full act of God. Or whatever be the intensity of God, the frequency of God of that attack from the enemy. Lord, we thank you that the cross covers that. We thank you that your shed blood covers that. And so we can boldly come and say, yes, this very thing that is troubling me, bothering me, is covered by the finished work of the cross. The work of the cross is complete. There is nothing that is incomplete about the finished work of the cross. It is finished, the Lord declared. So, God, we believe that and this morning we receive, Lord. We receive for ourselves, Lord. We receive for ourselves, Lord. Lord, the victory, Lord, that you've accomplished. We receive for ourselves, God, the healing of Father God that you're extending towards us, God. We receive for ourselves, O God, the freedom, O God, from all these emotional bondages of Father God. The freedom that you are extending towards us, Lord. We thank you, Lord. We thank you, we receive it, Lord. We receive it by faith, Father God. We thank you for what was accomplished and we receive it, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Now, the next step is a little, you know, it's very important. And sometimes it's emotionally difficult, right? Because of the nature of hurt that someone else could have done for us. Okay. So maybe someone hurt us, maybe someone intentionally wronged us. Just as Christ forgave us, we will be yet sinners, right? We need to release forgiveness. We need to extend the same forgiveness so that we are not bound, excuse me, we are not hurt, we are not bound, we are not imprisoned by any grudge, we are not imprisoned by that. So releasing forgiveness actually releases us, so we actively forgive. And so something for us to remember and something that will help us is that when we forgive, we are not saying that what they did was wrong, what they did was right, right? We are not condoning that act that was done. Okay. So because some of it could be very traumatic, maybe somebody abused us physically, emotionally abused us, continually with a barrage of negative words that were spoken, maybe they hurt us in a physical sense. It was, you know, it was domestic violence, it was a violent attack. And we find it very difficult to forgive the person or a group of people, right? But if we would make that decision, make a choice to forgive, as Christ forgave us, right? They may not, these people, they may not have asked for forgiveness if we can release them. If we can release them from having a hold on us. And how do they have a hold on us through a grudge, through an offense, right? So we release that, we release forgiveness, we release them from having a hold on us emotionally. Like there is freedom that comes when we actually release forgiveness. So we can do that, we can pray something like this, right? We pray, Lord Jesus, I receive healing for the trauma and the adverse or unexpected experiences that I've gone through that have hurt me and left me in pain. So we can actually, you know, if you've not told him what it was, he knows it, but then we can actually spell it out, you can even state it right now. This was cost, this pain was cost. This is what I underwent God. You know, maybe we even did not even acknowledge the extent of pain that we went through. So we can acknowledge that maybe it was a sense of shame, you know, sense of intense sadness that we experienced because of whatever we went through. We can acknowledge that before the Lord and we can say, Lord, yeah, we release forgiveness, release forgiveness to those who have hurt us knowingly or knowingly. And we can take the same time to actually specifically, you know, mention the names of people, right? We can mention them by name, say, Lord, I release forgiveness to this person. You mentioned the name of the person or what they did, you mentioned that very act, right? What they did, maybe it was something physical, maybe it was something emotional, maybe it was something violent that was done. So, saying, God, but what was done, what was spoken, God, this very thing that they did, God, I release forgiveness. So just remember that we are not saying that what they did was right, but we are releasing forgiveness, saying, God, I forgive. I forgive, Lord. And the example is Christ himself forgive us. You know, the minute we step up and do that, we release forgiveness, then there is something that we can receive. It's very simple. If you're holding something in our hands, both hands are full, we are holding it tight. You know, we cannot receive it. There is no space to receive something. But the minute we open up our hands and release what we are holding in our hands, then there is that space to receive. So it is with forgiveness. We hold tightly and our hands are full. It could be hurt. It could be grudge. It could be, you know, all those painful things that we are holding on to. And we are not, you know, receiving healing, not receiving restoration and wholeness because of our hands are full. So today, you know, this morning can just release forgiveness. Release, open up those hands, maybe as an act, you can just put your hands up and say, Lord, my hands are open. God, I want to release forgiveness. God, I don't want any of those bitterness and things who have a hold on me. So we specific You can also pray, you know, Lord, I receive healing right now. I receive healing. Even as I release forgiveness, God, based on your word, forgive as we would like to be forgiven as we are forgiven. So Lord, we are releasing this forgiveness based on your word, based on your instruction. And so God, we know that we can expect to be restored emotionally. Lord, in the deepest part of our being God, where we've been hurt or master, we can expect healing and wholeness God. So we receive that, Lord. We receive that, Father God. Yes, Lord, we receive healing for unmet expectations, disappointments and rejection from people. We receive healing for all that. You receive healing for that. All those regrets and pains and disappointments and rejections, we just receive healing. Lord, receive healing, Father God. All that sense of shame, oh God, I just pray for Lord, your work of your spirit, oh God, you just wash us a lot. Your word to just wash us, Father God. Yes, Lord, we receive that. Receive that in Jesus' name. Let's also pray for ourselves, you know. Many times we have not forgotten and we're not forgiven our own selves personally. We are still beating ourselves over and over again. Whenever we remember those times or those things, we just still, you know, the regret and the pain and when we revisit and when we hit ourselves, you know, just need to remember that we cannot change the situation. Something that we have done, something that we are ashamed of, you know, something that costs others pain, maybe something that, you know, kind of destroyed others' lives, whatever it is. Now, there is no change of that. We cannot revisit the past and change that, but definitely we can move forward in making our life better and others' lives better. You know, we can actually move forward and we need to, we need to move forward, right? So, how can we move forward if we are still anchored to that regret? If you are still chained to that regret of the past, okay? Some wrong decisions, some wrong choices, you know, it was a mistake. Maybe it was intentional. Maybe it was, you know, whatever reason, right? We cannot stay chained to that, right? We need to move forward. And for that, we need to, just as Christ forgives us, and one John 1 is going back to that, he is faithful to forgive us, so can we forgive ourselves? We need to because whom Christ has forgiven, you know, we have no right to stay in that place of unforgiveness. And if the Lord has forgiven us, then we have no right whatsoever to not forgive ourselves, right? So, the thing is to declare and say, okay, God, you know, this is what I did. This is what I'm ashamed of, but Lord, I receive forgiveness. I receive forgiveness. I forgive myself as you have forgiven me. I forgive myself. Thank you that you are bigger than all the mistakes that I've made, you know, greater than all the, you know, sometimes the biggest regret is because of these choices and certain things we had to, you know, I took a different turn and because of which there was a lot of time that was, you know, that particular path because of that consequence took away a lot of time to come back to where we are now or we are still in that place of coming back because of the wrong choices. And so whatever it is, you know, God is bigger than that and God is a restorer. So just stated and say, Lord, I'm sorry for what I did, but I receive forgiveness for that. I receive forgiveness for this very thing. I forgive myself for this, what I did. I forgive myself for this wrong decision. And, you know, even as we, even as you stated, you know, all these kinds of emotions just come up, you know, even just that thinking about that, that very thing, you know, that you're ashamed of what you did for yourself and the decision that you made or that very act, you know, it stirs up all kinds of emotions. And you're again thinking, okay, that was foolish of you to do that. And can we just receive what the Lord is extending and say, Lord, I receive wholeness, healing and I forgive myself, God. I forgive myself, Lord. I forgive myself, God. Even as things are set right, oh God, just want to move forward in the things, Lord, that you have for us. Move forward in the things, God. And what will really, you know, empower this decision to forgive ourselves is when we hold on to the truth of God's work, right? When we hold on to the truth of God's word and we say, okay, God, what you are saying about us, what you declared about me, I hold on to that as the truth. Just reading from John 17 and verse 17 says, sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth. And these are the words of the Lord. Let them, let your people be sanctified, set apart by truth and your truth and your word. It is truth. Your word is truth. So, God, we thank you. Thank you for the truth that's in your word. We thank you for your word. Hallelujah. We thank you. Thank you. And again, reading from John chapter eight says, if you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. You abide in him and his words abide in us. And this truth will set us free, right? So, whatever area that we fell in, whatever area that, you know, what is God's word declaring about that very thing? What is God's word declaring? What is God declaring about that? We, maybe it's something to do with our lives and maybe something to do with our future. We know Jeremiah 29 and 11. We know John chapter 10 and verse 10. Jeremiah 29 and 11 talks about the plans that he has for us, the thoughts that he has for us to give us a hope in the future. Right. John chapter 10 and verse 10 talks about the very intentions of the Lord, his desire as well to give us life and life in its fullness or anything about the future that we've been, you know, we've been bothered about and about ourselves and our future and our family's future. And we'll just embrace God's word, just be anchored in God's word. The very thing that was jeopardized by our action, the very thing that was, you know, that we, maybe it was destroyed because of our wrongdoing, of our wrong thinking, of our wrong choice. You know, even as we forgive ourselves of it, even as we ask the Lord to forgive us and receive forgiveness because he is faithful. And we are not holding a, you know, any kind of, we're not beating ourselves or any, we're not holding any kind of pledge against ourselves. And as we do that, we hold on to the truth of God's word, we're holding on with the vengeance, we're holding on with the passion, the truth of God's word, because it is true. The truth of God's word releases us, sets us free. So any kind of thing that we've been holding on to, let the truth of God's word be that it is the substitute, it is what unseeds lies. So that's the next thing, you know, we're going to talk about renouncing lies but whatever things, maybe we've been feeling low, maybe we've been feeling rejected, maybe it's a sense of insecurity. Let's go back to the Word of God and maybe we can spend some time just reading some of these references. We go into Psalm 118. Psalm 118 verses 21 and 22. I will praise you for you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone with the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This is what happened to him. The stone with the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. So, well, the Lord was rejected by men, but he accomplished something and he is indeed our salvation. So if we are going through anything of feeling of rejection, know that that he has gone through it already. And the thing is this, that he receives us. He receives us right now. He receives us and he does not reject us. He receives us because of the shed blood of Christ. Proverbs 3 verse 4 and it says, verses 3 and 4. Let not mercy and truth forsake you bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart and so find favor and highest team in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways. Knowledge him and he shall direct your paths. So trust in the Lord with all your heart. When you say trust in the Lord goes trusting in his word verse 7 also. Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones. So we receive the word of God. Maybe we can spend some time later as well about the word of God. What is the word of God stating about this situation? What is the word of God stating about my life? And so I want to be rooted in that. So any lie of the enemy, anything that the enemy has spoken any lie to reject that lie or renounce that lie. We renounce it and we declare the truth of God's word. Any lie, what is the lie that we've been believing? Just take some time to just ask the Lord. Is there any lie about it could be about myself. It could be about yourself. It could be about, you know, it could be very subtle. It can be about something that we have, we used to be strong in. And then maybe we begin to doubt that. And the enemy seems to have a subtle work or in road into that very area. So we can come back to God and say, Lord, I renounce that lie. I renounce it. And I confess, I renounce it. And I receive healing and restoration in that very area. And I just want to be rooted in your word. So what is it? Many times a lie manifests itself as fear. Manifests itself as fear. That's one way to find out, okay? Because the word of God develops or builds faith in us. Not saying that we will not experience fear as human beings. You know, that's an emotion that sometimes it protects us. But if it's a fear that's crippling us from journeying into the things that God has for us. If, you know, then we need to really look in and we see, what am I believing about this thing that is causing fear in my life? What am I believing about my future, maybe the future of my family? What am I believing about God's ability to provide, God's ability to heal, God's ability to protect, God's ability to increase. God's ability to change me, transform me. And that caused me to be fruitful. What is it that I'm believing that is causing fear? What is it that I'm believing that is causing this deep sense of disappointment? What is it that I'm believing that is causing this deep feeling of insecurity? What is it that I'm believing about myself? Maybe it's something to do with, you know, when we meet with people and then immediately there is a sense of insecurity. We want to keep away from certain kinds of people, maybe, you know, people who are confident and, you know, successful and shy away. And maybe there's a sense of insecurity, a sense of unworthiness. So, which means, you know, when we feel that sense of unworthiness, that means that we are believing something about ourselves that is causing that unworthiness, right? Or maybe it could be about any other area. It could be about, you know, so it could be a sense of fear, it could be a sense of unworthiness, disappointment, unworthiness, insecurity, a sense of insecurity, a sense of deep sadness, and, you know, maybe it's some kind of failure. You know, saying that I've never experienced any kind of success. I've always been failure, failure, failure over and over. And so we kind of believe that, you know, this is how it was. This is how it was with my grandfather. This is how it was with, you know, that generation and generation before me. And this is how it will be. I'll never amount to anything, you know, lies like that, right? So what do we do? We renounce those lies. We renounce those lies because we know that the truth of God's word says something which is exactly opposite of that, right? And we know that lie brings torment, okay? A lie does not accomplish anything good because it is, the source of lie is not God. The source of lie is the father of lies. It kind of manufactures lies and spreads it all around. So we don't have to receive, we don't have to, you know, our response should be to renounce it. Okay, so it takes some time to just renounce those lies. Whatever the Lord is pointing it, pointing us to, you know, saying that this is what you've been believing. So renounce that lies. So come out of that intimidation. Come out of that sense of unworthiness. Come out of that sense of insecurity. And be free in the presence of God. May his truth set you free today. Heir mus um te kyesi ma baba. Okay, and the next thing to do is, even as we renounce lies, we renounce any kind of dedication that was made over our lives. We renounce it. We cancel it. We renounce any kind of, you know, which was maybe done over us. Maybe some kind of thing that was, that has opened the door of the enemy for any spirit to come into our lives and influence us. And so we can pray something like this. In Jesus' name, I cancel and negate and nullify all the dedications, all prayers, all rituals, all sacrifices and wows, whether I unknowingly, whether I am knowingly, I made it, I cancel it, or any of my ancestors, to false gods and goddesses, I cancel, I cancel the consequence, the effect of that. I cancel those things, which was made. And I cancel all involvement of immediate family or my ancestors in the occult, in the occult practices. I cancel it in the name of Jesus. And I declare in the name of Jesus and I sever all ties, I cut all ties, I break all ties towards any of these demonic powers in the name of Jesus. I renounce all association to demonic powers. I renounce it in the name of Jesus.

And as we see in Romans 6, we present our members unto righteousness. We present ourselves unto the Lord. On this loan is four. And it says that we, verses 1 to 7, that we know how to possess our vessel in sanctification and in honor. So we consecrate ourselves. So we can pray something like this.

My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I acknowledge that. My body is not for sin. My body is not for sickness. My body is not for any work of the evil one. My soul belongs to the Lord Jesus. My spirit belongs to the Lord Jesus. My body belongs to Jesus. I consecrate my emotions, my feelings, my appetites, my passions, desires, everything to the Lord Jesus. They are wholly unto the Lord. They are wholly unto the Lord. And now just invite the work of the Holy Spirit. Just invite the work of the Holy Spirit to bring wholeness, to bring restoration. Say, I welcome you Lord.

We can engage with, with the Word of God and invite the presence of the Holy Spirit and maybe the Lord will show certain things, right? And we go with that.
