Step 1 “The Counterfeit vs the Real”

Review of Last Week…Review of Last Week…

3RD HEAVEN This is Heaven, the place where God Dwells (John 14:3-4; Acts 7:57 & 2 Corinthians 12:2).

2ND HEAVEN This is where much Spiritual Warfare takes place between the forces of God (good - Angels) and the forces of Satan (evil - Demons). This is where there seems to be military type structure and where spiritual conflicts are fought (Daniel 10, Ephesians 6).

1ST HEAVEN - THE TERRESTRIAL OR EARTHLY! This is the sphere where we have delegated authority over any spiritual powers or beings (Demonisation, strongholds, oppression, condemnation etc; Matthew 28:18, Mathew 16:18).

Step 1 The Counterfeit vs the Real Dear Heavenly Father, I ask You now to bring to my mind anything and everything that I have done knowingly or unknowingly that involves occult, cult, or non-Christian teachings or practices. I want to experience Your freedom by renouncing these things right now. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Father, I confess that I have participated in _________(mention all of them one by one now). I know they were evil and offensive in Your sight. Thank You for Your forgiveness. I renounce any and all involvement with_________ (mention all of them one by one again) and I cancel out any and all ground that the enemy gained in my life through this activity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Renouncing Idols & Wrong Priorities Who or what is most important to us becomes that which we worship. Our thoughts, love, devotion trust, adoration, and obedience are directed to this object above all others. This object of worship is truly our God or god(s).

Renouncing Idols & Wrong Priorities We were created to worship the true and living God. We are told by Christ in John 4:23 that the Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Renouncing Idols & Wrong Priorities As children of God… 1 John 5:20 (NIV) We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Renouncing Idols & Wrong Priorities The apostle John follows with a warning: 1 John 5:21 “Little children, guard yourselves from idols”

An idol is a false god, any object of worship other than the true God. Though we may not bow down to statues, it is easy for people and things of this world to subtly become more important to us than the Lord. The following prayer expresses the commitment of a heart that chooses to “worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only” (Matthew 4:10) as Jesus reminded Satan.

Dear Father, I know how easy it is to allow other things and other people to become more important to me than You. I also know that this is terribly offensive to Your holy eyes as You have commanded that I “shall have no other gods” before You. I confess to You that I have not loved You with all my heart and soul and mind. As a result, I have sinned against You, violating the first and greatest commandment. I repent of and turn away from this idolatry and now choose to return to You, Lord Jesus, as my first love. Please reveal to my mind now any and all idols in my life. I want to renounce each of them and, in so doing, cancel out any and all ground Satan may have gained in my life through my idolatry. In the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son I pray, Amen. (See Exodus 20:3; Matthew 22:37; Revelation 2:4,5.)

Checklist… Appearance/image Work Busyness/activity Friends Power/control e.g.Boy fd / Girl f’d Popularity/opinion of others Spouse Knowledge/being right Children Hobbies Parents Ambition Food or any substance Money/possessions Computers/games/software Financial security Rock stars/media celebs etc. Church activities TV/movies/music/other media Sports or physical fitness Fun/pleasure Ministry

In the name of the true and living God, Jesus Christ, I renounce my worship of the false god of (insert here the name of the idol). I choose to worship only You, Lord. I ask You, Father, to enable me to keep this area of (insert the name of the idol) in its proper place in my life. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen
