Fed by the Fruit

“Everyday that you’re not putting yourself out there and being visible for the people that YOU CAN HELP is another day that they are going to go buy from someone else or listen to someone else or learn from someone else that isn’t as good as you and doesn’t care as much as you, simply because you’re too insecure about being seen.” God has given you a gift and if you’re not doing everything in your power to be visible to those YOU CAN HELP, you’re doing them, yourself and God the ultimate disservice. It’s you’re responsibility to show up authentically YOU!

Repentance Prayer

Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ. I confess that I am guilty of the sin of bitterness, the sin of anger and the sin of unforgiveness in my heart against anyone or myself.

I renounce in the name of Jesus the root of bitterness that has related spirits, including unforgiveness, rage, anger, violence, revenge, retaliation, and even murder.

In the name of Jesus I repent for opening any door to spirits of infirmity, including cancer as a result of the bitterness, anger and unforgiveness.

I now close those doors in the name of Jesus and ask you Holy Spirit to burn anything out of me that is not of You.

I acknowledge that I am guilty of bitter-root judgments and mindsets that are against Your will for my life. I repent of these evil mindsets and I renounce them in the Name of Jesus Christ.

I repent for the judgments that I have held against other people or myself, in the name of Jesus

In Jesus name, I repent for any hatred toward people or myself in the name of Jesus

Father, Your Word says that I’m to see to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it, many are defiled. I make the decision today Lord, to obey this Word and forgive all who have offended me, hurt me, angered me and rejected me.

I refuse to hold on to this root of bitterness, anger and unforgiveness any longer and I uproot it now from my soul and cast it away from my life in the Name of Jesus!

I release everyone from the mental prison of unforgiveness and I release all offenses to You Father and ask that You cast them behind Your back and lay them not to their charge.

I pray now for the release of the Kingdom of God into their lives to bring them to You in salvation.

I plead the Blood of Jesus over the sin of bitterness, anger and unforgiveness and let it be dissolved as if it never happened in Jesus’ Name.

I now come out of agreement with the spirit of bitterness, the spirit of anger, the spirit of unforgiveness and I refuse to walk with you any longer. Get out now in Jesus’ Name.

Father, I thank You for forgiving me and setting me free from the pit and cage of bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness! I choose life in You all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen and Amen!.

Gracious God, You are sovereign and holy, compassionate, and faithful. You created me to be in a loving relationship with You.

You seek to shape and guide me by Your perfect will into righteousness for my protection

Yet, I rebel against Your will and seek my own way. I choose to follow my own desires, even when they are destructive. My heart is rebellious as I do what I think is right.

You have called me to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow You. Please forgive me for missing the mark. Forgive me for slipping away. Forgive me for my sinful nature and action.

I invite you to transform my life by the power of Your Holy Spirit living inside of me. Redeem and restore me to glorify You Lord as I seek who you are and fill my life with your living Word. In Jesus name, Amen.

• Colossians 2:8
• 1 Corinthians 6:9
• 1 Corinthians 15:33

• Prayer or Repentance

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life—the only Truth and the only Way. I thank You that You desire that I have truth in my inward parts and that I walk in the freedom that comes only from walking in the light of Your truth.

Father, today I take a stand against any deception trying to take root in my life. I bind deception and lies right now in the Name of Jesus. I curse every attempt of the devil to get me to buy a lie.

I refuse to be tempted to believe lies wrapped in truth and things that sound good or sound right, but do not line up with Your Word.

I declare that I walk in love toward all people, which is a defense against deception. I ask, Lord, that when people—even proclaiming Christians—exalt new ideas over the Word of God, that I will be quick to recognize it—that I will look to Your Word for guidance and confirmation, not to man.

I ask that every veil be removed from my eyes, that I will not be blinded by the opinions of others, by the thoughts and ideas of the world, but I will know the true voice of my Shepherd.

Lord, I ask that You bring conviction upon me for any areas where I have fallen into believing a lie. Show me these areas, and bring them to my mind. I ask that You cause me to humble myself, repent and get back on the road of truth.

Your Word says You set the captives free, and I declare today that I am free of deception. I praise You and thank You that You keep me safe in Your truth and that I will always have strength and desire to abide in You, no matter what persecution I may face.

In Your Name, I pray. Amen.

Amid her struggles, KB shares with Steph how God has showed up in her circumstances. Each step we take by faith toward God creates fear in the enemy. He comes only to steal, kill and destroy but God has sovereignty over everything and therefore, the final say. Just as with Job, we know that the Lord allows hardships in order to perfect our faith and to bring Him the glory he deserves.
