"Father God, I ask and pray in faith that You give us Your heart, mind, eyes, and ears, so that we can
feel, know, see, and hear what YOU feel, know, see, and hear. Keep us in close communion with You
and in constant prayer. Father God, give us the anointing and empowerment to OBEY Your Voice - in
the written Word and in the spoken "still small Voice". Thank you that "our past is the past at last" and
our sins have been forgiven because of Your Son's blood sacrifice - cast as far as the east is from the
west and buried in the depths of the sea. Give us the grace and strength to not return to former sins with
which You have forgiven and dealt. Continue to break and tear down demonic strongholds in all of
our lives. Forgive and break all generational curses. Continue to HEAL us of ALL REJECTION that
originates and tries to continue in many forms and manifestations. May we humble ourselves before
You and to one another as believers. No more casting stones - no more games - no more lying - no
more self preoccupation - no more delusion - no more excuses - no more fear - no more pride. Only more of Your Word, Your Love, Your Covering, Your Blood, Your Authority, and Your Presence.
Give us transparency in a safe environment where LOVE rules the Father's House. Give us divine
discernment so that there will be no "casting our pearls before the swine". Only confessing our faults
and sins to fellow believers with whom we are safe. No more disrespect - no more abuse of any kind
- verbal (sarcasm, insinuations, cursing, lying, manipulations, twisting of words, etc.) , nonverbal
(looks, rolling the eyes, sighing, expressions, shunning, ignoring, rejection), or physical. By Your
power, we are set free from pride, arrogance, haughtiness, conceit, vanity, narcissism, condescending
attitudes, 'holier than thou' , gossip, slander, lust, perversion, soul ties, seducing spirits, idolatry,
witchcraft, manipulation, drug abuse, sorcery, coloring or tainting the truth, deception, independent
spirit, rebellion, isolation, heaviness, depression, hopelessness, anger, rage, wrath, division, seditions,
doctrinal error, lying spirits, accusing spirits, intimidation, twisting of words, bitterness, unforgiveness,
and bondage! Only humility and submission to You, Heavenly Father, and to one another in the Body of Christ.
And knowing that Godly CONFRONTATION is not abuse - although painful - as iron sharpens iron -
let us prayerfully and carefully consider warnings and instructions from our brothers and sisters in Christ,
and those spiritual leaders that you have put to watch over us and to guard and instruct us in the Family
of God. Help us to number our days and fulfill our destinies and walk in Your Spirit every minute of every
day so there will be no more regrets. And cause the CYCLE of ABUSE to be aborted, broken, and discontinued in everyone's lives at SHM,
as well as our family members, and never again allow the enemy of our souls (satan) to get a foothold, let alone a stronghold, in any area of our walk.
You are the only Perfect One - so deliver us from expecting perfection from ourselves and others.
As Fathers and Mothers in Christ, You did not call us to reproduce "Stepford Kids" but "Godly Spiritual
Children". You are the only King, Ruler, and Lord of everything, You are the only One who is in total
control of our lives and this universe. So we surrender ALL control to You. Reign supremely in every
aspect of our lives for the remainder of our days here on this earth!"
In the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS we pray and believe! Amen!!!
Blessings in Yeshua,
Pastor Denise
