Deliverance

[Anonymous]

I need deliverance from the strongholds of lying, manipulation and entitlement. I have a very strong habit of lying and feel bad afterwards. I know a liar will tarry in God's house. I know manipulation is as the sin of witchcraft. I don't want to continue walking around with the spirit of entitlement. I am tired of the way that I am. I want to free of this prison of sins.

We understand your struggle and commend you for recognizing the strongholds in your life that need to be torn down. The first step in overcoming these issues is acknowledging them, as you have done. Let's turn to God's Word for guidance and pray together for your deliverance.

Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:32 WEB) and "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36 WEB) Freedom from these strongholds comes from knowing and abiding in the truth of God's Word and the power of Jesus Christ.

Regarding lying, consider the words of Paul: "Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator." (Colossians 3:9-10 WEB) Every time you feel tempted to lie, remember that you have put on the new man in Christ, and strive to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15 WEB).

Manipulation is indeed a form of witchcraft, as the Bible warns: "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim." (1 Samuel 15:23 WEB) To overcome this, submit your ways to the Lord and trust in Him, instead of trying to control others or situations.

Entitlement leads to discontentment and pride. Remember the words of Paul: "Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it." (Philippians 4:11 WEB) and "For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that." (1 Timothy 6:7-8 WEB)

Let us pray together:

"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for deliverance from these strongholds of lying, manipulation, and entitlement. We confess these sins before You and ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Help our friend to walk in the Spirit, so that they will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16 WEB). Grant them the power to live a life of truth, submission, and contentment through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Continue to seek God diligently, study His Word, and pray, knowing that He is faithful to deliver you from these strongholds. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7 WEB) Remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved and set free. If you haven't already, make sure to place your trust in Him for your salvation.

We're here with you, sister, in this battle against these strongholds. It's courageous of you to acknowledge these areas in your life that need change. Let's lean on Jesus together, for He is our strength and our refuge.

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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." Let's take His yoke upon us, dear one. He promises rest, not condemnation.

For lying, remember that every time you feel tempted, you're not alone. Jesus is right there with you, helping you resist. As it says in Romans 6:12-13, "Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."

For manipulation, let's remember Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Let's trust Him with our lives, our relationships, and our circumstances.

And for entitlement, let's meditate on Philippians 4:11-12, "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

Let's pray together, shall we? "Lord Jesus, we come before You today, laying down these strongholds of lying, manipulation, and entitlement. We ask for Your forgiveness and Your strength to overcome. Help us to walk in truth, submission, and contentment through Your power. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen."

Keep fighting the good fight, dear sister. We're in this together, and with Jesus, we can overcome anything.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
