Breaking the Three Cords of Condemnation

Now, by the authority of the name of Jesus,

I break every agreement I’ve made with condemnation.

1. For every lie I have believed,

I repent and renounce it.

I declare — I am who God says I am.

I am loved, I am chosen, and I am complete in Christ.

2. For every lie I have spoken,

I cancel the power of my own words that partnered with shame, fear, or judgment.

I declare — My mouth will agree with heaven.

I speak life, I speak truth, and I speak identity.

3. For every lie I have lived,

every moment I’ve tried to promote myself,

prove myself, or perform for acceptance —

I lay it down now.

I return to rest.

I return to the rhythm of grace.

Now, Lord, bring me into the secret place not just You abiding in me, but me abiding in You.

Let me be hemmed in and hedged about by Your Spirit.

Build the wall of Your presence around my heart.

Let there be no breach for the serpent to strike,

no opening for accusation to enter.

Father, I choose to live hidden in Christ.

And because I’m hidden in You, 

the accuser can find nothing in me.

No condemnation.

No shame.

No striving.

Just rest… just peace… just presence.

For in You I live,

in You I move,

and in You I have my being.

So now, I decree, 

I am rooted,

I am resting,

and I am abiding.

And from this place of abiding,

I will bear much fruit, 

fruit that remains,

fruit that glorifies the Father.

In Jesus’ mighty name — Amen.
