Martial Arts & Yoga

Prayer of Repentance & Release from Personal or Hereditary Occultic Involvements

 

Note: If you have practised Yoga or Tai Ch’i exercises, Transcendental Meditation or Hindu, Taoist, Shinto, Buddhist or occultic meditations or chants, Pranayama breathing, any of the other Martial Arts, most Alternative Health Therapies (all of which are based on Hinduism, Taoism, or other occultism), then aspects of the following prayer will apply to you and you will experience freedom as you pray.

 

Please don’t just parrot the following prayer but think carefully about what you are saying to God. Please read it through first so you know what is involved. It is best to pray this aloud with a Christian witness or counsellor present. We suggest a brief pause following each paragraph to allow the Holy Spirit to show any additional issues which may require attention.

“Father God, creator of heaven and earth, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ your Son, and through His shed blood. I ask you for your protection as I pray the following prayer. I come as a sinner seeking forgiveness and cleansing from all sins committed against you, and others made in your image by myself or my ancestors. Please protect me and those whom I love. True Holy Creator God, in the name of the true Lord Jesus Christ, in accordance with Jude 8-10; Psalm 82:1 and 2 Chronicles 18, I request you to move aside all Celestial Beings, including Principalities, Powers and Rulers, and to forbid them to harass, intimidate or retaliate against me, and all participants in this ministry today. I also ask that You prevent these beings of whatever rank, to not be permitted to send any level of spiritual evil as retaliation against any of those here, or our families, our ministries or our possessions.

Jesus Christ is therefore my Lord, my Saviour, my Master and my Deliverer.

I choose to honour my earthly father and mother and all of my ancestors of flesh and blood, and of the spirit by adoption and godparents, but I utterly turn away from and renounce all their sins and iniquities.

In the name of Jesus Christ I now rebuke all evil curses, breaking their power, and I loose myself and my children from them; all inherited or ancestral curses, curses from others; all evil words spoken by parents, teachers, old friends, relatives, spouses, all witchcraft or voodoo assignments, and all curses stemming from my culture. I now break the power of all charms, hexes, spells, psychic powers, bewitchments, witchcraft, sorcery, incantations, impartations, or assignments that have been put upon me or my family line from any person or group, living or dead, or from any occultic or psychic sources, including any familiar spirit assigned to me by Satan at my birth. I rebuke all connected and related spirits and command these to leave me now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

I break every remaining soul tie that is ungodly with persons and groups in my past, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I renounce the ungodly soul tie with (cult group – mention name);

. . . with (mention person’s name) who led me into the occultism of Martial Arts, Tai Ch’i, Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Alternative Health Therapies, Astrology, Sorcery, Divination, (name practice);

. . . with the hypnotist (name);

. . . with (name) who led me into drugs;

. . . and with (name/s) that I had sinful sexual relations with (adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bestiality etc.) and also with any person whose blood was transfused or whose organ was transplanted into me.

I renounce all these and any other ungodly soul ties (mention other names that are appropriate) and I command the spirits of all these soul ties to leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ. I gather those ungodly soul ties together now and cut them through with the Sword of the Spirit of God. I now ask my Heavenly Father to reaffirm the Godly soul ties that I have with my spouse, children, and with members of the Body of Christ.

Now dear Father God, I ask humbly for the blood of Jesus Christ, your Son, to cleanse me from all these sins I have confessed and renounced, to cleanse my spirit, my soul, my mind, my emotions and every part of my body which has been affected by these sins, in Jesus’ name!

I renounce every evil spirit associated with all these areas and all other sins, and I command in the name of Jesus Christ for every evil spirit to be bound and to leave me now, harmlessly on my natural breathing, touching or harming no-one, and go to the place appointed for you by the Lord Jesus Christ, never to return to me or my family. I call on the name of the Lord Jesus to be delivered of these spirits, in accordance with the many promises of the Bible. I ask to be delivered of every spirit of sickness, infirmity, curse, affliction, addiction, disease or allergy associated with these sins I have confessed and renounced. I surrender to God’s Holy Spirit and to no other spirit all the places in my life where these sins have been. I ask you, Lord, to fill me with your Holy Spirit now, according to the promises in your Word. I take to myself the whole armour of God in accordance with Ephesians Chapter Six, and rejoice in its protection as Jesus surrounds me and fills me with His Holy Spirit. I enthrone you, Lord Jesus, in my heart, for you are my Lord and my Saviour, the source of eternal life. Thank you, Father God, for your mercy, your forgiveness and your love, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”

 

 


 

If you have difficulty doing this, then please contact a competent Christian leader near you to assist you. Find Bible-believing Christians and spend time with them. Explain to them you are coming out of serious deception and need their encouragement and support at least until you are firmly on your feet and maturing in your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If some disappoint you (probably through not understanding your need) don’t be put off, there are caring Christians around who can and will help. If all else fails, please contact the publishers and we’ll try and locate someone mature who can help you in your region. It is very important that you sever all of your ties with all occultic groups and practices.
