Cleansing Your Life | prayervan.com

Guide to Cleansing Your Life

The purpose of this publication is to help you cleanse your life.

Many People never seem to think about this. But this is the only way to open yourself up so that the Holy Spirit can flow through you with the greatest power.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Important: To confess means to make a clear concise statement of fact.

“Self-examination is looking at your life. It is considering your actions in the past and learning the true character of your life. Look over your personal history. Examine your individual sins one by one. I do not mean for you to glance at your past life, see that it has been full of sins, then go to God and make a general confession. That is not the way. You must look at each sin one by one. It is a good idea to take a pen and paper as you go over them and write each sin down as it occurs to you. Take your time and go over them as carefully as a merchant goes over his books. Each time a sin comes to mind, add it to the list. General confessions of sin will never do. Your sins were committed one by one, and they should be reviewed and repented of one by one.

Review your life from birth until present. Go over it more than once. The first three lists are of sins that allow demons to enter a person’s life. List 4 is a list of all the most common sins committed by mankind that do not allow demons into your life. Take time to read through these lists. You may be surprised at what has been in your own life in the past that you have never dealt with. Before you read, please pray this prayer:

“Dear Father God, when Jesus was here on earth, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to us. He told us that one of His jobs would be to convict us of our sins. Now I ask Lord, that You convict me of any sins I have committed that I have never dealt with. Please bring them to my memory. And as You are doing this, would You please show me just how black my sins are to You? I ask you for this and thank you, in the name of Jesus”.

List # 1

List, by name, every person with whom you have sinned sexually. If you cannot remember the name, write down the incident. Also, list any other sinful sexual activities, such as pornography, sexual encounters with the same sex, sex with children, sex with animals, and sex with demons. Also list if you have been sexually molested and by whom, if you have been raped, if you have participated in a sexual rituals of any sort. List each ritual separately.

List every incident of any involvement in the occult or anything that blanks out your mind. Examples:

Drunkenness

Participating in raves – the combination of drugs and demonic music blanks the mind and opens doors
Body piercing – all body piercing must be removed; that is, anything but a single ear ring in each ear in women
Tattoos or branding or flesh cuttings

Divination of any form
Asking a psychic, witch, priest or anyone else to curse someone for you, or to do a spell to make that person fall in love with you etc.
Visiting a pagan shrine and walking through it such as the Dome of the rock in Jerusalem. All visitors to the Dome of the rock must first take off their shoes. This is an act of giving honor to Allah, the god of Islam
Accepting leis in Hawaii. The acceptance of a lei around your neck in Hawaii is an act of giving honor to the gods of those islands.
Sororities & Fraternities – Many of the initiation rituals for the various college sororities or fraternities have occultic themes and must be renounced and broken. Many include giving honor to dead founders of the organizations. Many more, various sorts of sexual sins.
Allowing just anyone to lay hands on you. This is a big source of demonic affliction. When you allow someone to lay hands on you, you bow and submit to them, willing to accept whatever they impart to you. This is why James is so clear that only the elders should lay on hands. An elder is someone who has demonstrated by his/her life that he/she is a true servant of Jesus Christ. In the future, no matter who lays hands on you, always pray first and ask the lord to shield you from any demonic impartation.

List # 3

Deal with inheritance. To the best of your ability, list the sins of your forefathers, especially if they were involved in the occult or any religion other than Christianity. Also, add to the list if they were involved in any secret organizations. All secret organizations involved oaths taken by the members binding their offspring to loyalty to these organizations. All religions have baby dedications. The only difference is that in pagan religions, not only is the individual baby dedicated to the god of that religion, but all of its offspring are dedicated as well. If you had an ancestor involved in the occult or a pagan religion, then you must assume that you were dedicated to their god. Once you have accepted Jesus Christ, this dedication is broken, and a curse of destruction is immediately activated. These curses must be broken, and all demons placed into your life through the dedication kicked out. Also, the lines of inheritance must be broken so that you can never again receive demons from a relative at the point of his/her death. See prayers at the end.

List # 4

These sins do not allow demons to come into your life, but if they are not dealt with they are just as deadly in quenching the work of the Holy spirit in your life.

Rejecting God’s Word or not serving God
Gossip & lukewarmness
Pride, rebellion, anger/temper, bitterness

Specific Prayers and Commands

If you are having trouble with confusion, or knowing how to pray, here are the specific prayers and commands to help you out. The demons will fight you in your mind. They will attempt to make your mind go blank and make you confused. When this happens, simply speak out loud and say, “You demons be bound now in the name of Jesus!” Say it over and over again until you are thinking clearly again. If you are having difficulty saying the prayers or the commands listed below for a particular sin, say it over and over again after binding the demons, until you can say it clearly and easily. At that point the demons will be gone. Don’t simply read the following, think about what you are saying, and work on it until you can say the commands accurately without looking at the prayer.

List # 1: Sexual Sins

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I confess to You that I have sinned sexually with________________. (give the name, or the specific incident)

I ask You to forgive me and to cleanse me in the name of Jesus.

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask you to forgive me for my sin of________________ . Please cleanse me from that sin in the name of Jesus.

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask you to completely cleanse me from the sexual molestation by ________________ (or the rape by ________________. I thank You for it in Jesus’ name.

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every demon that came into my life through my sexual sin with __________________________ to leave me right now and forever!

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every demon that came into my life through the sexual molestation (or rape) by __________________________ to leave me right now and forever!

** In the case of sexual sin or molestation, rape etc, the scripture says that the “two become one flesh”. There is a joining of the two people through sex, some people call it a “soul tie”. Since I have been married, I think this joining goes even deeper than that. This tie needs to be broken. So, for every person with whom you have sinned sexually, been molested or raped by, or were married to and then divorced, you need to pray like this:

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus I now ask you to totally sever between me and __________________ body, soul and spirit. I ask you for it and thank you for it in the name . (persons name) of Jesus.

** Marriage also involved the complete union of two people. There is no sin in the sexual relations of marriage, but demons are free to pass from one person to another. Thus, you need to cleanse yourself from this possible source of demons and then ask the Lord to seal you so that you can no longer receive demons from this source. In the Word, God promises to sanctify the marriage bed. If you have been married and then divorced, you need also to command any demons out that came into you through previous marriages. Pray and command as follows:

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus I ask you to completely cleanse me from any uncleanness in my marriage bed. Then I stand on your promise and ask you to sanctify my marriage bed and seal me so that I can never again receive any spirits from my spouse. I thank You for it in the name of Jesus.

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command any demons that came into my life through my sexual relations with my spouse to get out right now and forever! In the name of Jesus Christ I command any demons that came into me through my ex-spouse __________________ to get out of me right now and forever!

(persons name)

** In the case of those who have been involved in homosexual relationships of any sort, they need to pray fervently asking the Lord to literally re-create their minds. Romans 1:26-28 tells us that when people become involved in homosexual sin, that God literally gives them a “debased mind”. This is a mind that is only capable of thinking evil and depraved and sinful thoughts all the time. God does this, so only God can change it. It is vitally important this particular area of sin seek the Lord to give them a new mind, and that they assist in that process through saturating their life with scripture memory and praise and worship.

** If you are being raped by demons, you need to list each incident as best you can, and command all the demons out that were placed into you through the rapes. Each time you are raped, you received more demons.

List # 2: Specific Sins

Go through your list one by one. Cross out each one as you finish confessing it so you won’t get mixed up or lose track of where you are on the list.

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus I ask you to forgive me for my sin of ______________. I acknowledge this as being sin, and repent for it. Please cleanse me from it. I thank you for it in the name of Jesus.

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I take authority over every demon spirit that came into my life through my sin of _______________. I command you to get out right now and forever in the name of Jesus!

** If you have been involved in astral projection, psychic abilities, working with familiar spirits, seeing into the spirit realm continually or whenever you want, or have been hearing voices or continually receiving physical sensations from the spirit realm, then you have a demonic link established between your soul and spirit. Once you have confessed these experiences, you need to pray and command like this:

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus I ask you to sever between my soul and spirit. I ask You to take away all of my ability to experience the spirit realm, except what You want me to experience through the Holy Spirit. I thank you for it in the name of Jesus.

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce and reject ___________________ forever. (name each familiar spirit with whom you have worked by name)

In the name of Jesus Christ I now command you ____________ (give each name individually) to get out of my life right now and forever in the name of Jesus!

** If you have entered into any contracts with Satan or other gods, you will need to work through each one of those individually.

** If you have tattoos that are occultic in nature (such as occultic symbols, demon names, demon faces etc) you should have them filled in solid, or removed if possible. All tattoos, brands, or cutting scars should be covered with oil. As you do this, command every demon placed into the tattoo, brand, or cutting scar to leave you at once in the name of Jesus Then pray and ask God to seal it so that no demons can ever enter into those things again.

List # 3: Inheritance and dedications

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus I humbly acknowledge to you that my forefathers have sinned against you in these sins:………. (name them one by one as best you can. If you wre adopted, you need to deal with inheritance from two sets of parents, your blood parents and your adoptive parents.) I now ask you to separate me and my descendants, from their iniquities with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Please close the doorways of inheritance in my life, and my descendants lives, at once and forever. Seal us so that we can never again receive any spirits through the lines of inheritance.

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I take authority over every demon spirit that came into my life through inheritance, and into the lives of my descendants, I command you demons to leave me and my descendants right now and forever!

Proclamation: I proclaim, before heaven and hell that I am a servant of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, now and forever!

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ I renounce and reject any dedication on my life, and the lives of my descendants, to any god other than Jesus. I command every demon placed into my life and the lives of my descendants, to get out of us right now and forever in the name of Jesus!

Command: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command every curse of destruction on my life and the lives of my descendants as a result of those dedications, to be broken NOW! In the name of Jesus Christ, I take authority over every demon associated with those curses of destruction. I command you demons to get out of my life and the lives of my descendants right now and forever, in the name of Jesus!

List # 4: Specific Sins

These sins do not allow demons to come into your life, but they must be dealt with. You must first repent. That means that you turn away from them and stop doing them. It does no good to confess them if you fully intend to continue doing them. For each sin, pray the following prayer:

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I confess to you my sin of _________________.

I humbly ask you to forgive me and cleanse me from it. I thank you for this in the name of Jesus.

Conclusion

When you have prayed through your list and cleansed your life, you need to pray in your own words and thank the Lord for His wonderful work of cleansing you. Ask Him to fill you completely with the Holy Spirit. Keep short accounts with God. If you sin, deal with it immediately. Flee temptation!

If you find you have forgotten something and then remember it later, no problem. Simply deal with the sin immediately in the same way. If you wonder if something is a doorway for demons or not, I have a little saying: “If in doubt, cast it out”. You won’t be hurting anything. Saturate your life with God’s Word, prayer, and praise and worship. Your life will change in a remarkable way.
