I came across an article the other day....well it was prayer really, that related to repenting from 'ungodly intercession'. Now THAT caught my attention! What on earth could 'ungodly intercession' be? ..I must admit my first reaction was ' Oh brother!'...but as I read the prayer through, my heart began to resonate with the reality that as intercessors we need to keep our hearts pure! We need to, as often as possible make sure your motives for praying the way we pray, isn't so that others come into agreement with 'us' - or to see that we're right. If we do that, we are manipulating things..and need to repent right away. We need to pray God's will, not ours, be done! Anyways...here is some of the things from that article....feel free to pray them through as I did...
Lord, please forgive me for misunderstanding the high calling and privilege of intercession.
I repent and renounce for myself and those in my generational line who left their watch and station and did not wait on You. I choose now to be stationed on the rampart, to wait upon you and to hear what you will say to me. I will wait until I am reproved ( Hab.1:17 - 2: 3 ) Lord. I chose to write down the vision so future generations can run with it. I chose Your timing so that the vision will not be delayed.
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational line, for relying on our own understanding instead of yours, Lord and for praying for our will instead of Your will. I repent and renounce Lord, for not relying on Your living Word .
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational line for not seeking and praying Your will and desires, but our will and desires. I repent Lord, for limiting you and all that is possible through you. I repent for not receiving your dreams and not praying them because they are so big! Would you release the gift of faith and expectancy in me to know that You are able to do more than I can think or imagine? I chose to recieve the dreams and desires that You have given me and believe that all things are possible with You, Lord.
I repent and renounce for stepping out of my own realm of authority and fighting battle that You didn't tell me to fight.
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational lines for praying prayers of doubt, unbelief, self-righteousness, pride, jealousy, envy, fear, hardheartedness, strife, selfish ambition, judgment and deception. Lord would you remove all bitter root judgments that we came into agreement with? I ask You to remove all ungodly intercession that was based on these sins. I ask for the angel, Breakthrough, to break, shatter, dissolve and destroy all ungodly intercession, all ungodly prayers, all self-righteous prayers, all soulish prayers and unsound mind prayers! I choose to walk in power, love and a sound mind.
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational line for praying controlling manipulative prayers out of selfish motivation for the purpose of controlling others for selfish advantage ( Is. 54:17). Father would you remove and cancel the effects of all soulish prayers, ungodly intercession, prophecies, and declarations that have released curses against me and my family. I forgive those who have knowingly or unknowingly brought curse upon my family by praying their will instead of Yours.
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational line for praying striving compulsive prayers from a state of anxiousness and unrest instead of praying from a state of rest by being seated with You in Heavenly place. Lord I choose to ahve my eyes focused on the victory that You intend for me to have. ( Phil. 4: 6)
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational line for taking the yoke of religious, organizational, man made intercession, instead of taking on Your burden of intercession. I ask You to break off all ungodly yokes and false burdens of intercession from me and my family line. I break all agreement made to ungodly religious and governmental authorities.
Lord , I ask You to break off me and my family line the consequences of being fatherless, and break off abandonment, rejection and allow a false spirit of prophecy to have power over our intercession and prayers.
I repent and renounce for myself and my generational line for withholding prayers and intercession that would release the sons and daughters of God.
Father would you remove all deception, wrongful motivations and intents from my heart, mind and will that would cause me to pray misguided prayers!
I declare that I will not lean to my own understanding, but in all my ways I will acknowledge You in intercession. I declare Lord, that I will allow You to teach me how to pray!
