FOCUS: Dealing With Some Effects of Sin
TEXT: Revelations 12:10, Colossians 2:14, Ecclesiastes 10:8, Psalm 125:2,
Personal or family retreat is not where you go and just pray anyhow, glossing over other important things. You pray intently; your prayer must be deep. You can even spend a whole day praying on repentance. That is why it’s called a retreat, it is not something that you rush.
1. Accusations of the enemy: sin opens the door for the accusation of the enemy (Revelation 12:10). The devil is the accuser and he stand before God day and night to accuse us.
PRAYER
- Lord every sin of I have repented of, I silence every accusation of the enemy; I have been forgiven, let every accusation cease.
- Every accusation peddled against me by the enemy, I silence them by the blood of Jesus. I have come before the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things, for the blood speaks mercy over me and my family therefore anyone accusing and discussing i and my family, I silence them now in the name of Jesus.
- Every accusation standing against me in the realm of the spirit, I silence and stop them now.
NB: Colossians 2:14 the cross did not just deal with my sin or the accuser, it dealt with the evidences too.
- Lord by the blood of Jesus, I cancel and wipe away every evidence of accusations against me and my family in the name of Jesus.
- By your ordinance I set aside any evidence of sin, and by the mystery of the blood begin to wipe the blood of Jesus against me.
- I shred every evidence of sin (that the devil is holding against me and my family), I destroy them by the blood and fire.
- Every record against me by water spirit, demonic powers, by witches… in any realm, Lord let them be wiped out by the blood of Jesus.
- By the help of the spirit, I mail every record to the cross.
2. Ecclesiastes 10:8 he that digs a pit shall fall into it and whoso breaks the hedge, the serpent will bite.
When we sin and the serpent sees and recognizes it, he begins to bite. The hedge is a protective film around every believer (it’s like a wall). This is why the Bible said; as mountain surrounds Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds those who are His (Psalm 125:2). This is also why the devil said to God in Job 1:10 have you not put a hedge of protection around job and his family.
That hedge can only be tampered with by God, Sin and love issues.
PRAYER
- Lord by the blood of Jesus, I rebuild the hedge.
- Lord in whatever way the serpent has began to bite, we bind and cast it out now in the name of Jesus.
- Every demonic spirit that has infiltrated my life as a result of sin, I bind you; I come against your agent and I rebuild the wall by the blood of Jesus. Lord let your angels begin to rebuild the hedge around me in Jesus name.
- No weapon formed against me will prosper, I rebuild the wall/hedge that has been broken down as a result of sin in my life.
3. Another effect of sin…. It destroys your conscience. It break guilt consciousness. Righteousness is standing before God without guilt of sin. You can’t genuinely repent without faith. What the enemy does is that he attacks your conscience so that your faith is bartered. One of the operations of sin and life is faith and one of the operation of sin and death, is guilt consciousness and it reduces your value in your eyes.
PRAYER
- Lord heal my conscience, purge me from guilt consciousness and restore my faith.
- Make my conscience whole again; heal it from every negative thought for I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, I have been forgiven.
- Lord, I choose to forget every sin you did not input on me just as you have forgiven me
4. Sin produces bitterness
The moment Esau sinned and sold his birthright, bitter crept in when he realized the extent of what he has done. Is not every time that someone is bitter that someone hurt them.
5. One effect is that Sin create orphan spirit which isolates one and once isolated, devil gain the opportunity to strike and destroy them. Sin is bile because it’s so bitter (even though sweet in the mouth) in your member.
PRAYER
- Lord where sin has produced bitterness in me, have mercy and heal me from offense.
- Heal me Lord of every bitterness and every workings of orphan spirit in my life.
- Uproot every offense in my life. Heal me from any form of bitterness; Lord replace it with joy. I declare that the joy of the Lord is my strength.
- Lord where my joy has been stolen by sin, let it be restored in the name of Jesus. Restore the joy of my salvation that I can begin to draw water from well of salvation
6. Another effect is closed heaven.
PRAYER
- Lord let the heavens be open over me again.
- Lord every door has been shut against me by the reason of sin, them be open again in the name of heal. Let our land be healed. Heal the works of my hand, heal my mind, heal marriages, heal my business.
- Anything sin has damaged in my life, let there be healing. Where my emotion has been affected negatively by sin, Lord I ask that you heal me in the name of Jesus.
- Lord heal my finances in the name of Jesus.
