5 INTERCESSORY PRAYER TEAM ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Role It is the role of the Freedom Intercessory Prayer Team to engage in targeted prayer throughout the entire semester so that: God covers all of us and so that God s presence is tangible and the Holy Spirit is experienced in all Freedom gatherings (Conference, small group meetings, leadership training, etc.) Participants receive divine revelation from God as they go through Freedom Participants form godly relationships with each other that help foster their spiritual growth Freedom leaders and volunteers walk in unity and submission to our Lord Jesus authority, power and favor Participants experience healing & breakthrough that brings them into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God Responsibilities Each member of the Intercessory Prayer team will be responsible to do the following: Commit to pray each week for Freedom throughout the course of the semester, preferably at a Freedom Prayer Small Group meeting Participate as a member of the Intercessory team throughout the entire Freedom Conference Attend two mandatory training sessions in the weeks leading up to the Conference. Prerequisites for Being an Intercessor There are just two prerequisites to be an Intercessor: Successful completion of Freedom (Small Group & Conference) Willingness to pray regularly for Freedom Page 5

6 Intercessory Prayer Team Meetings The Intercessory Prayer Team will gather in the following meetings over the course of the semester: Weekly Prayer Small Groups each week during the semester, there will be Prayer Small Groups that gather together to pray for Freedom. Each week, the group will use the Prayer Guides found in this manual to target their prayers towards specific areas. o If you are not able to make a Prayer Small Group, we ask that you still commit to take time each week to pray through the weekly Prayer Guide. It is very important that all Intercessors come to the Freedom Conference having already invested time and energy into praying for Freedom. o Note that Freedom Prayer Small Groups are for members of the Freedom Intercessory team only. Intercessory Prayer Training Session All new members of the Intercessory Team must attend the 3 training sessions & the mock Conference. Previous intercessors may miss the first training session. Freedom Conference the Intercessory Prayer team will pray together during every session of the Freedom Conference, using the guidelines outlined in this manual. Intercessory Prayer Team Leadership Oversight The leader in charge of the Intercessory Prayer Team is Claudia Laborde. Claudia will work with the other Freedom leaders to strategically target our prayer efforts based on the overall strategy of Freedom for that semester. Prayer Captains Each semester, there will be several Prayer Captains appointed to lead the Intercessory Prayer Teams. Prayer Captains will help disseminate communications to the team, coordinate the efforts of the Intercessors, lead weekly Prayer Small Groups, and guide efforts at the Freedom Conference. Page 6

7 Why We Pray God s Presence God is always with us wherever we go, but we can experience Him in a deeper way when His manifest presence appears in our midst. God s presence brings affirmation, revelation, and supernatural transformation. It is our hope as Freedom Intercessors that the tangible presence of God be at every single Freedom gathering, from training sessions to small groups to the Conference. We spend time worshipping God so that He can be exalted and His presence can be welcomed. Divine Revelation because Freedom deals with issues in our soul that can often be complicated, we all need special insights directly from the Holy Spirit to see where we have need of healing and deliverance. No amount of personal study or instruction from our small group leaders can compare with a direct insight from God on the issues holding us back. Freedom Intercessors lift up each participant by name to ask God to give each individual the revelations for areas of healing needed and also conviction on areas where humble repentance before God is required. Godly Relationships Freedom does not come in isolation. We need relationships with other believers to encourage us and urge us on as we go through Freedom. Freedom Intercessors pray regularly for deep, healthy, lifelong relationships to form between all of those who are participating in Freedom. Leadership Freedom would not be possible without the faithful service and tireless effort of the many leaders who give their time and energy to make this ministry happen (including the Freedom Intercessors)! We pray for the entire team that we all walk in God s power and favor and divine protection. Aside from the many volunteer leaders who faithfully serve and make Freedom a success, please pray especially for the Leaders of Freedom and their families (Claudia LaBorde & Pastor Randy), as they can be subject of special attacks from the enemy. We intercede and lead and carry burdens on behalf of others through intercession. But at the end of the day we leave them all at the feet of Jesus, resting on the promise for those who are weary: Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:29 30). Miraculous Breakthrough We believe for every person to experience miraculous transformation and breakthrough as they go through Freedom. The goal of Freedom is that we be sanctified and Christ like, emerging from the semester with a deeper identity as sons and daughters of God. We ask God to give people incredible breakthroughs that give them a deeper relationship with God, and empower them to be more effective witnesses of the Gospel to those around them. Page 7

8 Freedom Intercessors Keys to Success Whether you are a seasoned intercessor, or are stepping into this sort of ministry role for the first time, it is important that you be aware of some necessary steps you must take as an intercessor to help ensure the success of your small group. Here are some important Keys to Success for you to keep in mind as you begin to serve on the team. Pray Faithfully As you are probably learning at this point, there is a massive prayer effort that accompanies each semester of Freedom. The Intercessory Prayer team begins praying before the first week of small groups, and continues right through the Conference weekend. This prayer covering helps create an atmosphere where participants can hear from God and can feel safe to let Him bring healing and deliverance to their lives. The single most important thing you can do as an Intercessor is to commit to pray faithfully over the entire course of the semester. The key word here is faithfully. Don t feel that Freedom s success depends on the magnitude of your faith, the depth of your personal anointing, or the volume at which you pray! All kidding aside, what Freedom needs is for you to commit to pray regularly. Whether you are comfortable spending a long time in prayer each day, or can only manage 15 minutes, the importance is your faithfulness. Imagine each time you spend in prayer as adding a small rock to a pile. While you may feel as if your efforts won t amount to much, when combined with the prayers of the rest of the team, we can build a mountain upon which God can take His throne. In the weekly prayer small group guides found on the following pages, you will find specific prayer points that you can use each week to help target your regular prayers. Pray with Scripture The Bible tells us that God s Word, when spoken, will not return void but will accomplish its purposes on the Earth (Isaiah 55:11). As Intercessors, one of the most effective techniques we can use is to incorporate Scripture directly into our prayers. This ensures that we are praying according to God s will and saves us from trying to pray out of our own (very limited) strength. You will see many Scriptures listed in the prayer guides found in this manual. We encourage you to always have your Bible with you when you pray for Freedom so that you can easily access the many verses referenced on these pages. Page 8

9 Remain Connected The effectiveness of your prayers will greatly increase if you can pray regularly with other members of the Freedom Intercessory Prayer team. Strive to attend your assigned Prayer Small Group as much as possible. The enemy loves to isolate intercessors so that they feel cut off and become vulnerable to temptation and deception. One of the Leaders top priorities each semester will be to work with the Intercessor Captains to ensure that this does not happen. Keep in close contact with your fellow Intercessors not only to remain strong, but to strengthen your relationships as you head towards the Conference. You will work closely together as a team throughout the weekend of the Conference. Use your Captain The intercessory team is led by the Intercessory Captains. Our Captains are individuals who have been trained in the ministry of intercession, and who have a special passion and calling to serve in this ministry. They are an extremely valuable resource for you in the coming semester. Your Captain will oversee your Prayer Small Group, and will direct your efforts during the weekend of the Conference. Make it a point to stay in touch regularly with your Captain. Your Captain can also help you process any insights you may be receiving from the Holy Spirit as you pray. Your insights may make a valuable contribution to our overall efforts as a team, and we encourage you to share what you have been hearing from God to your Captain so that they can provide confirmation and guidance. Just as you will be passing on your insights to the Prayer Captains, the Freedom Leaders & Pastors will also be relaying their insights to the Captains for dissemination to the team. The next section of this Manual contains weekly prayer guides for use in your Prayer Small Group. Note that these guides are to provide some basic structure, but over the course of the semester additional requests will be relayed to the Captains. Walk in the Spirit One of the most common attacks of the enemy during Freedom is discouragement. Satan will find every way for us to not be a part of any ministry that aims to bring Freedom in Christ. The enemy wants to keep our brothers and sisters in Christ in slavery, and knows that the Intercessory Team s prayers play a big role in helping people get set free. Remember, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. One of the enemy s tactics will be to keep the volunteers side tracked and discouraged. God s Word promises us that those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed not weary and beat down! (Isa 58:10 12) Page 9

10 Preparation for the Conference The weekend Conference is an exhilarating experience for the Freedom Intercessors. You will literally be able to see your prayers answered right in front of you as the participant s experience healing in each session. At the same time, the Conference requires a significant investment of your time and energy and it requires proper preparation. Follows are some steps you can take to prepare: Attend all training sessions so you know your role and can function effectively as a member of the team Join the rest of the Freedom leaders and participants in fasting the week of the Conference Remain vigilant for attacks from the enemy, particularly leading up to the Conference Get as much rest as possible prior to the Conference; live a healthy lifestyle and clear your calendar from any unnecessary commitments at that time.

27 Foundational Scriptures Romans 1:16 17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God (the Good News of the CROSS is the POWER) to salvation (not only eternal salvation, but wholeness, health, peace of mind, prosperity, DELIVERANCE) for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from FAITH TO FAITH; as it is written, The just shall live by FAITH. Romans 5:17 If, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD in Him. OUR NEW COVENANT IN CHRIST Jeremiah 31:31 34 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD, for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD for I will forgive their iniquity, and THEIR SIN I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE. Hebrews 8:12 13 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. In that He says, A NEW COVENANT, He has made the first obsolete. John 3:16 For God SO LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son. 1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God who TAKES AWAY THE SIN of the world. Page 27

28 Hebrews 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once (once and for all) purified, would have had NO MORE CONSCIOUSNESS OF SINS. Hebrews 10:3 In those sacrifices (the Law) there is a reminder of sins every year. Hebrews 10:12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, SAT DOWN at the right hand of God. Hebrews 10:18 19 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY. Hebrews 10: and having a High Priest over the house of God (there to remind God that it is all paid), let us DRAW NEAR with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. John 16:8 9 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. Hebrews 9:14 How much more will the blood of Christ PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE who through the eternal Spirit offer Himself without spot or blemish to God purge your conscience from dead works. Ephesians 1:7 In Him we HAVE redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, ACCORDING to the riches of His grace. Colossians 2:13 15 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having CANCELED out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had DISARMED THE RULERS AND AUTHORITIES, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Colossians 3:1 3 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. SET YOUR MIND ON THE THINGS ABOVE, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Page 28

29 1 Peter 2:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, FIX YOUR HOPE COMPLETELY ON THE GRACE to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53:12 For He bore the sin of many, and MADE INTERCESSION for the transgressors. Ephesians 1:20 22 God seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, FAR ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER AND MIGHT AND DOMINION, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church. Ephesians 2:4 6 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and RAISED US UP WITH HIM, AND SEATED US WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS... Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, because he trusts in You. John 14:26 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, neither let it be afraid. Colossians 3:1 3 If you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. SET YOUR MIND ON THE THINGS ABOVE, not on the things that are on earth. 1 John 4:16 19 We have KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. God is love and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. There is no fear in love; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love, because He first loved us. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. Not as the world gives. Jesus said MY SHALOME I leave with you ) MY HEALTH, MY WHOLENESS, MY PEACE OF MIND, MY WELL BEING Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Page 29

30 3 John 2 BELOVED, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Mark 1:15 The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent (CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT JESUS!), and believe in the gospel. GRACE Romans 5:8 But God DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Galatians 3:29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham s seed, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE. Romans 4:13 Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be HEIR OF THE WORLD through the righteousness that comes by faith. Titus 2: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, INSTRUCTING US TO DENY UNGODLINESS and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age. Matthew 6:33 But SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things shall be added to you. 2 Corinthians 3:18 We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THE SAME IMAGE FROM GLORY TO GLORY, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Ephesians 3:17 20 I pray that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, ACCORDING TO THE POWER that works in us. Romans 4:19 22 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah s womb.

And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness. Page 30

31 GOD S LOVE Galatians 4:6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ABBA, FATHER! Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the SPIRIT OF SONSHIP by which we cry out Abba Father. Matthew 6:31 32 Jesus said, Therefore, do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? For your HEAVENLY FATHER (Abba) knows that you need all these things. John 17:26 Jesus said, And I have declared to them YOUR NAME (ABBA), and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You.

Galatians 3:13 14 (The Message) Christ redeemed us from that self defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the cross: HE BECAME A CURSE, AND AT THE SAME TIME DISSOLVED THE CURSE. And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that Abraham s blessing is present and available for non Jews, too. We are all able to receive God s life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing just the way Abraham received it. Page 32

Let my eyes show forth love, kindness, and tenderness. God has a plan for me, a hope and a future to prosper me and bless me. He will restore to me all of the years the devil has stolen.

57 PRIDE Characteristics/Behaviors Critical Overbearing Egotistical Scornful Negative Impatient Contentious Obstinate Always Right Interruptive Boastful Smug Dictatorial Self Righteous Arrogant Declaration I declare and proclaim this is my day to lay down my life. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. I have done nothing absolutely nothing to earn my salvation. Jesus, you paid the price for me to live and be free. God, burn away my pride and consume my sin. You are my Master. Not my will, but yours be done! God resists the proud, so I resist pride. I embrace humility and put it on like a garment. I choose to go low. God s power is made perfect in my weakness. I boast in my weakness, and God s power rests on me! I humble myself under God s mighty hand. He will exalt me whenever and however He chooses. I empty myself now. I am a slave to God and a servant to people. Father, in the name of Jesus, take my life! Amen. Scripture on Pride Hebrews 10:19 Romans 10:9 And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Page 57

58 Matthew 10:39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. James 4:6 God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. Galatians 2:20 Ephesians 2:8 9 Colossians 2:13 John 14:6 Luke 22:42 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. Jesus told Him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Acts 16:31 James 4:10 Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. Page 58

59 GREED Characteristics/Behaviors Fearful Stingy Temporal Mindset Hording Egoistical Lack of Contentment Worry Boasting Selfish Ambition Selfish Competition Dishonest Gain Strife Comparisons Preoccupation with News Stealing Envy Worldly Wrong Motives Declaration I am of God and the devil has nothing in me. I will not serve two masters. I will not serve both God and mammon. I will worship the Lord and serve Him only. If my Heavenly Father takes care of the birds, He ll take care of me. If I seek His kingdom and His righteousness, all these things will be added to me. Everything in the heavens and the earth is the Lord s. He is the Lord of all and supplies all my needs. I produce wealth because God gives me ability. He richly provides everything for my enjoyment. By God s command and my obedience to Him, I am blessed. I am blessed in the city. I am blessed in the country. My children are blessed. My business is blessed. I am blessed when I come in. I am blessed when I go out. I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath. Everything I put my hand to is blessed. I renounce all greed, selfishness and selfish ambition, all boasting and envy. Lord, purify my motives and my heart. I commit today to keep myself free from the love of money. I am content with what I have and in all circumstances. My stuff will perish, but my God remains. He is my all in all. Amen. Page 59

60 Scripture on Greed Matthew 6:34 Matthew 16:26 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grieves. Matthew 6:21 Proverbs 3:9 10 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. 1 Chronicles 29:11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. Philippians 4:19 Matthew 6:33 Philippians 3:20 Luke 12:15 Philippians 2:3 My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. But seek first the kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Our citizenship is in Heaven and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Then he said to them, Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Page 60

61 REJECTION Characteristics/Behaviors Anger Loneliness Insecurity Sorrow Hopelessness Suicidal Thoughts Resentment Eating Disorders Self Mutilation/Cutting Broken Heart False Responsibility Discouragement Low Self Esteem Depression Self Pity Insomnia Declaration I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. If God is for me, who can be against me? I am chosen by God. He has not rejected me! God loves me so much that He gave His only Son for me. He chose me and appointed me to bear good fruit. God contends with those who contend with me. Spirits of rejection come at me in one direction, but flee in seven! I am holy and blameless. I am redeemed through the blood of Jesus. I have the spirit of wisdom and revelation. I am an heir of heaven. I am seated in heavenly places. I am God s workmanship. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am a new creation. I am a citizen of heaven. I am rooted and grounded in love. I am more than a conqueror. I am an overcomer. I am healed. I am free! Lord, everything You say about me is true! Amen. Scripture on Rejection Romans 1:7 Isaiah 41:9 God loves you dearly, and He has called you to be his very own people. I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, You are my servant ; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. Page 61

62 Isaiah 59:21 Hebrews 13:5b John 15:16 And this is my covenant with them, says the Lord. My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children s children forever. Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you. You didn t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. Jeremiah 29:11 12 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. Ephesians 1:4 Ephesians 1:11 Psalm 139:14 Ephesians 2:6 Psalm 27:10 Isaiah 54:17 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close. No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me, declares the LORD. 1 Peter 2:21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his steps.

I no longer gratify the cravings of my old sinful nature. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My body may be weak, but my spirit is willing. I am never tempted beyond what I can bear. God always provides the way out. I flee youthful lusts. I resist the devil, and he must flee from me. I have the mind of Christ. I will set before my eyes no vile thing. I take captive every thought. My thoughts are true, noble, right, and pure. I am sober and alert, ready for any attack. My God arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world. When evil comes, I will stand my ground. Page 63

64 I am a new creation no more condemnation. Christ has set me free! And by His blood, my hands are clean, my conscience is clear, and my heart is pure. And the pure in heart will see His face. Lord, I want to see your face! I have only one desire: Your presence in my life. Show me Your glory! Amen. Scripture on Purity Isaiah 1:18 Hebrews 10:22 Romans 6:6 Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be white as snow. Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. Corinthians 6:17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. 1 1 Peter 2:11 I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Galatians 5:1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don t get tied up again in slavery to the law. 1 Corinthians 6:20 For God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. Matthew 5:8 Psalm 51:10 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! Hebrews 9:14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Page 64

65 GUILT & SHAME Characteristics/Behaviors Guilt Condemnation Religious Overworked Covering up Dishonesty about Past Aloof with People Unworthiness Distant from God Overachievement Self Hatred Declaration God chose me before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, has redeemed me. The blood of Jesus washes away my sin. The blood of Jesus purifies my heart. The blood of Jesus cleanses my conscience. The blood of Jesus gives me a fresh start. God lifted me out of a slimy pit, out of the mud and mire, and placed me on a rock. I am forgiven He remembers my sin no more. I am forgiven He blots out my transgression. As far as the east is from the west are my sins from me. As high as the heavens are above the earth: so great is His love for me. I no longer condemn myself, and neither does God condemn me. I silence the accuser now! Satan is the father of lies. By the power of the blood, I tear down the veil of shame. Lord, take these worthless fig leaves, and clothe me in Your righteousness. I run from darkness to light. My face is radiant and unashamed. Instead of shame, I will receive double honor. I will never be put to shame again. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed! Amen. Page 65

66 Scripture on Guilt & Shame 1 John 1:7 If we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 2 Corinthians 3:17 18 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory. John 8:7 Ephesians 5:25 26 Hebrews 10:22 If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word. Let us draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Hebrews 8:12 Isaiah 49:23b For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. Those who trust in me will never be put to shame. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. Psalm 34:5 Psalms 37:24 Isaiah 61:7 Proverbs 24:16 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

He is near to those who have a broken heart and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Page 68

Thank you that Your Son Jesus defeated the enemy on the cross. Jesus Christ has been given all authority overall powers of darkness. I claim back my life from the spirits of mysticism. I break all demonic influence and break all generational influences in the name of Jesus. Scripture on Mysticism Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. 2 Corinthians 11:14 15 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. Galatians 3:1 Colossians 2:15 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Page 71

74 Scripture on Fear 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. Psalm 118:6 Psalm 91:10 11 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? No harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. Deuteronomy 31:8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD is the one who goes before you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor forsake you. Exodus 14:13 Joshua 1:9 Psalm 16:8 Psalm 27:3 Psalm 91:14 Do not be afraid.

Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. Because he loves me, says the LORD, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name. Page 74

75 BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Scripture on Baptism of the Holy Spirit Acts 10:38 Acts 2:1 2 Acts 2:3 5 Matthew 3:11 Acts 11:15 17 Acts 1:8 You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. He [Jesus] will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God? And you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. I Thessalonians 1:4 5 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. John 14:12 Romans 8:11 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you. Page 75
