4 CHRIS HAYWARD PASTOR WELCOME TO THE EVENT You have come so far, pressed through so much, you are on the verge of something amazing. We are thankful to the Lord we can partner with you at this event. We are convinced that you will experience many blessings from the Lord. Throughout the years our events have been and will continue to be a safe place of healing and freedom. With that said, at any point if we become concerned with your safety, we may need to take appropriate action on your behalf. Our prayer is that you will receive all that God has for you during this time. We hope that you find this event notebook to be a blessing and we believe that you will find discipleship tools contained within that will walk you to freedom now and in the future! We pray the Lord will grant you the desires of your heart and bring the freedom and healing that has been purchased for you at the cross. For the Harvest, Pastor Chris Hayward President, Cleansing Stream International 4

5 ENTERING IN As you enter in, we believe that God will walk you through these steps: Revelation, Repentance, Renouncing/Breaking, and Restoration in a number of areas. He is ready to restore the broken places of your relationship with Him and the places where His rulership has been relinquished in the battle with flesh and our enemy. It is our choice whether we let the enemy have an influence in our lives and bring death, or we choose to come to right relationship with God allowing His rulership in our lives to bring life to us. Ephesians 4:27 tells us not to give place to the devil. Through unrepented and ongoing sin, these areas can be places of the enemy s influence in our soul. We will address these places first by restoring our relationship with God because sin has separated us, and then by restoring the rightful rulership of God because our bondage has given the enemy a place. The next several pages illustrate how death and life can spring up. The following trees illustrate the roots, what will grow and how different areas relate to each other. Our prayer is that you will partner with God during the event to identify and remove the influences that produce death and join with Him to choose life (Deuteronomy 30:19-20). PRAYER OF COMMITMENT Heavenly Father, I believe and trust in Your Word. I am Your child. I choose now to listen to Your voice. I ask You to show me clearly any lies I believe - anything that doesn t line up with Your Word or Your character. I thank You also for speaking truth into my heart by Your Spirit and through Your Word. Thank You for loving and caring about me. Thank You for Your power to free me from all strongholds. Change my heart, Lord. I will give You all the praise and honor. In Jesus name. Amen. 5

6 DEATH PRODUCING The thief s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy... John 10:10 (NLT) When you follow the desires of your sinful nature... Galatians 5:19-21 (NLT) 6

7 LIFE PRODUCING...My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. John 10:10 (NLT) But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives... Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT) 7

8 DESTINY RELEASE This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Jeremiah 31:33 DEFINITION: This is a day that God Almighty has set aside to re-calibrate your soul, to speak to your spirit, to heal your heart, to free you from bondage and to alter your destiny. 8

9 1PRAYER DESTINY RELEASE PRAYER #1: Heavenly Father, thank you for arranging my circumstances so that I could be here today because I recognize You have a plan for me. I choose to set aside any distractions or pride or resistance to You. I m ready for my life to change and I m willing to open my heart to allow You to make that happen. I surrender my life to You, Father God, to Your Holy Spirit and to Your Son Jesus Christ. And when this day has ended, I will remember to give You all of the Glory and Praise for the miracles You have performed. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. PRAYER #2: Holy Spirit, I know that You are knocking on the door of my life. I recognize that You have more for me and I open the door for that to take place. Please allow my body to be Your temple and my heart to be Your home. As I would welcome a guest into my home, I welcome You into my life. I want You, I need You and I desire for You to enter. I repent of any actions or words on my part that have hindered you in any way from fulfilling whatever You want to do in my life. Please forgive any pride or self-interest that has hindered my destiny in You. I renounce any lies the enemy has used to hinder what you want to do in my life. I also renounce any influence of man that has blocked me or prevented me from receiving all that You have for me. In the name of Jesus, I break and I sever all pride and rebellion and I break their hold on my life. I choose to follow You, God, and receive all that the Holy Spirit wants to give me in this moment. I give You permission to fulfill my destiny and I welcome You in my life. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. SCRIPTURES The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearte to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. Isaiah 61:1 God can see what is in people s hearts. And he knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit speaks to God for his people in the way God wants. Romans 8:27 (NCV) He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 (NKJV) And this is the reason: God lives forever and is holy. He is high and lifted up. He says, I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are sad and humble. I give new life to those who are humble. Isaiah 57:15 (NCV) When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:15 (NIV) And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:52 (NIV) And this hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. He gave us his love through the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV) May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NIV) Romans 5:5 (NCV) 9

10 THE END OF REJECTION You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest regions, and said to you, you are my servent, I have chosen you and have not cast you away. Isaiah 41:9 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. John 14:18 10

11 DEFINITION: Rejection is the most painful wound we can experience. The definition of rejection is: The absence of love. BELIEFS Ungodly beliefs What the Lord would speak to you NOTES SCRIPTURES The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. Genesis 3:7 And they heard the sound of the lord god walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the lord god among the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8 Then the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate. And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? The woman said, the serpent deceived me, and I ate. Genesis 3: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. Galatians 5:6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Genesis 3:6 11

12 WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE??? WITH AN ORPHAN HEART WHAT IS... WITH A CHILD-LIKE HEART I see god as my Master. I feel like an outsider. I strive to be accepted by others. I must earn God s favor. It is my duty. I must be pure and holy to have his approval, but I m never good enough! I compare myself to others, and then reject myself. MY IMAGE OF GOD MY POSITION IN LIFE MY NEED FOR APPROVAL MY MOTIVE BEHIND CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINES MY MOTIVE FOR PURITY MY SELF IMAGE I see god as my loving Father. I belong to a family. I am resting in my Father s acceptance of me. I delight in pleasing my Father. I want to honor my Father by living a life of purity. I know I am loved just as I am. I look to counterfeit sources; addictions, busyness, compulsions, escapism, religious activity. I am jealous of others success. It makes feel cheated and unimportant. I m glad when they fail. I am critical of others and will expose them to make myself look good. I feel I am hopelessly bound where I am. MY SOURCE OF COMFORT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS MY HANDLING OTHER S FAULTS MY CONDITION I find comfort in the love and presence of my Father. I value others in my life, and I m happy when they succeed. I also grieve with them in their failures. I reach out in love and gentleness to help, heal, and restore others. I feel free in my Father s love. 12

13 2PRAYER THE END OF REJECTION (1ST WALL REJECTION OF GOD) Father God, I m sorry for all the times and all the ways I have rejected You. Please forgive me. I repent for not believing You for not listening to You, and for refusing Your love. I repent for not trusting You, and for doubting Your love for me. I repent for all the stubbornness, pride, self-will, and rebellion that I have walked in. In the name of Jesus, I renounce all rejection of God. I renounce all involvement with any spirit that would lead me to reject God. I renounce and break all vows and covenants, all soul ties and generational ties that would bind me to the rejection of God. I choose to love God with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my mind. I renounce every spirit that has to do with the rejection of God. And now, as a choice of my will, I break down this wall now in the mighty name of Jesus. (CLAP AND SHOUT!) (2ND WALL SELF REJECTION) Heavenly Father, I repent for rejecting myself. I repent for all the negative things I have thought and said about myself. I repent of not accepting myself, and for trying to be someone I was never meant to be. I repent for not believing I have worth and value, just as I am. I turn away from rejecting myself, and I renounce all the lies I have believed about myself. I renounce and break every curse I have thought or spoken about myself. I choose to accept myself. I break all ties with self-rejection, and every spirit that would lead me to reject myself. I rise up now against this wall of self-rejection, and I break it down in Jesus name. (CLAP AND SHOUT!) (3RD WALL FEAR OF REJECTION) Holy God, I repent for giving in to the fear of rejection. I repent of all lying and deception, suspicion and mistrust, and control or manipulation that either I, or my family, have given place to. I repent of trying to please people instead of You, Lord, and I repent of my self-protective behavior and all self-pity. And now, I renounce the fear of rejection and all the destructive behavior it has lead me into. I renounce and break all soul ties and generational ties to the fear of rejection, and I break its hold in my life. I refuse to be bound to this fear any longer, and I break down this wall of the fear of rejection I break it down now, in Jesus mighty name. (CLAP AND SHOUT!) (4TH WALL REJECTION OF OTHERS) Heavenly Father, I repent of rejecting others. I ask You to forgive me for all the hurt and pain I have caused them. I repent of my unforgiveness and resentment toward those who have hurt me. I repent of judging, blaming and criticizing them and for wanting to hurt them or tear them down. Spirit of rejection of others, I renounce you. I renounce all the ways I have allowed you to influence me to reject others. I renounce all anger, unforgiveness, resentment, and bitterness toward others. I renounce all soul ties and generational ties to the rejection of others. I choose to be a forgiving person, and I release forgiveness toward everyone who has hurt me. Spirit of rejection, I rise up against you, and I break down this wall of the rejection of others I break it down now in Jesus name. (CLAP AND SHOUT!) Spirit of rejection, the blood of Jesus surrounds and engulfs you. You have no right; you have no authority to stay with me. I turn your sword against you. Rejection, I reject you! You are on a slippery mountain and have nothing to hang on to. I break all agreements with you. I reject your lies. The ground you have taken, I now take back. I reaffirm my trust in God, and His Word, and I renounce every work of darkness associated with you. I reaffirm that I am His child and He is my Father. I sever all ties with you. I shut the door on you. You are exposed. In the name of Jesus I cast you out of my life. Be gone! Let go! Now leave me in the name of Jesus! 13

14 THE BLESSING BLOCKER We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, I love God, yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother. 1 John 4:18-21 (NIV) OFFENSE: Offense disrupts our commitment to walk in love. If we become offended with God we run the risk of blocking our destiny. Offense blocks the hand of God in our lives. QUESTIONS TO ASK IF WE ARE OFFENDED: 1. Is my offense based on direct involvement or am I picking up the offense from someone else? 2. Am I absolutely certain of the facts? Is my information taken out of context or pre-judged motives? 3. Have I spoken directly with the offender to hear their heart? 4. Am I willing to release all judgements & pain to God? 5. Have I given time for the Holy Spirit to first bring conviction? 6. Have I asked the Lord to reveal any hidden motives on my part? 7. Have I repented of any personal wrongdoing? 8. Before confronting, have I asked the Lord for His timing and His manner? What, when & how? 9. Have I shared my offense with anyone else, causing further division? 10. Will my actions be a demonstration of love? QUESTIONS TO ASK IF WE HAVE OFFENDED: 1. Have I prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to reveal my true offense? 2. Have I asked the Lord to reveal the manner by which I am to ask forgiveness? 3. Am I willing to allow the offended party to share the full extent of the pain I caused with me? 4. Am I willing to ask for their forgiveness rather than just telling them I m sorry? 5. Am I willing to ask their forgiveness without telling them how they have also offended me? 6. Am I willing to agree and empathize with their pain? 7. Am I willing to ask the Lord to help change my character as a result? 14

15 3PRAYER THE BLESSING BLOCKER Heavenly Father, my desire is to see my brothers and sisters through Your eyes. I don t want to miss the blessings You have designed for me because I ve harbored offense of any kind. Therefore, I repent of partnering with any disruption that has caused me to walk away from Your loving example, whether that be from direct or indirect involvement with offense, willfully holding on to judgment, having hidden motives, or not giving the Holy Spirit the opportunity to bring conviction. I confess my personal wrongdoings that have involved loveless actions or caused division. I renounce any place of unforgiveness to You, others, or myself and break the hold and blockages in my life. Please help me to forgive those who have offended me and give me the humility and courage to ask forgiveness of those whom I have offended. I ask for Your help and guidance in changing my character to become more like the person You designed me to be. I ask all these things in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen. SCRIPTURES God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 (NLT) These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ. Philippians 1:9-11 Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother s eye. Proverbs 6:16-19 (NKJV) A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle. Luke 6:42 (NKJV) Proverbs 18:19 (NKJV) 15

16 NO LONGER ASHAMED They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. Psalm 34:5 DEFINITION: Guilt is how we feel about what we have done/been involved in. Shame is how we feel about ourselves because of what we have done or what has been done to us. Condemnation is the accusing voice of the enemy saying we are unworthy versus conviction which is God s invitation to forgiveness and reconciliation. BELIEFS Ungodly beliefs What the Lord would speak to you 16

17 4PRAYER NO LONGER ASHAMED Father God I repent of doubting Your love for me. I also repent of not believing that You have really forgiven me and that the blood of Jesus has cleansed me from all of the sin, all of the guilt, and all of the shame of my past. Holy God I repent of listening and agreeing with the voice of the accuser telling me that I am an evil person, that I am dirty, and that I am unworthy to come and receive Your love. Here today I renounce guilt, false guilt, and shame. I renounce condemnation, selfcondemnation, and all sense of unworthiness. I renounce every spirit assigned to work against me with guilt, shame, and condemnation. I renounce what they have done to keep me from becoming the person God created me to be. I break all agreements I have made...with the lying voices of guilt, shame, condemnation, and self-condemnation. I break all word curses I have spoken about myself. I break all soul ties and all generational ties that would bind me in any way to past guilt, shame, or condemnation. I break every vow, covenant, or agreement, and all word curses that would give these spirits any power or influence in my life. All spirits of guilt, shame, and condemnation...i break your power over me in the mighty Name of Jesus. Father God I choose to open my heart to receive Your unconditional love, Your grace and forgiveness, and a full release from all guilt and shame in my life. And, by Your grace I also choose to forgive myself, in Jesus Name. NOTES SCRIPTURES O Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us shame of face...o Lord, to us belongs shame of face because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against you. Daniel 9:7 Oh my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to you my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens. Ezra 9:6 17

18 UNBROKEN Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous. 1 Peter 3:8 DEFINITION: Abuse... where healing is needed from verbal, physical, self, emotional, sexual and spiritual abuse that has touched our lives. Abuse... where cleansing is needed from our participation in verbal, physical, self, emotional, sexual and spiritual abuse that have touched our own and other s lives. BELIEFS Ungodly beliefs What the Lord would speak to you 18

19 5PRAYER UNBROKEN Holy God, I confess the sins of my former generations where they gave place to the spirit of abuse. I repent of all involvement with abuse or the spirit of abuse in my own life. I choose this day to separate myself from any and all connection with the spirit of abuse. Spirit of abuse, I renounce you and all you stand for. I renounce all the hurt and pain you ve caused, and the damage you ve done in the lives of others. Spirit of abuse, I break all agreements I have made with you. I break all claims you have had on me or on my family. I break all curses, vows, covenants or agreements that have given you any power in my life or in my family. You have no further claim on me. Your rule in my life and in my family ends today. Never again will you torment me mentally, emotionally, or physically. In the mighty Name of Jesus! Amen! NOTES SCRIPTURES He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 (NASB) Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. But now you yourselves areto put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Colossians 3:8 Ephesians 4:

20 TIES THAT BIND Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord, Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18 DEFINITION: Soul Tie is an attachment of our soul to a person or object involving both thoughts and feelings (mind and emotions) and the choices of our will. BELIEFS Ungodly beliefs What the Lord would speak to you NOTES 20

21 6PRAYER TIES THAT BIND Father God, I specifically repent and renounce all immoral sexual activity in which I have participated. I renounce all spirits of sexual impurity behind these acts. Lord, I ask You to forgive me and cleanse me of all bondage in my life because of these sins. I renounce every lie of the enemy telling me that I am dirty, or that I am unacceptable because of my past sexual activities. I also choose to bring all memories of past sexual involvement under the covering of the blood of Jesus. Lord, I also repent of making someone else s approval and acceptance of me more important than Yours. I repent of any way I have desired someone s love more than Yours. I repent of any way I have made them an idol in my life. I confess the sins of idolatry in my former generations and I repent of all idolatry in my own life. I repent of abdicating my will to another person. I renounce all unholy emotional soul ties. I renounce all the lies that have made me look to others for my comfort, my sense of worth or value. I renounce and separate myself from everything of idolatry in my family lines. In Jesus name, I take authority over all spirits of sexual sin, and I break their hold over my life. In Jesus name, I take authority over the spirit of idolatry and I break it s hold over my life. You will not keep me emotionally bound any longer and I command you to leave me now. I break all unholy soul ties in the Name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus, that You fully accept me and love me unconditionally. I choose to put you first in my life, to place You above all others. I now present my body to You as a living sacrifice and I ask that You fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit. SCRIPTURES So God created man in His own image... male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it... Good Soul Ties... Spouse (Genesis 2:24) Family (Genesis 44:30) Friends (1 Samuel 18:1) Leaders (2 Samuel 20:2) God (Deuteronomy 10:20) Destructive Soul Ties...
