Prayer For Revealing and Setting One Free from Generational Bondage

Heavenly Father, I come before You, in the blessed name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit. I thank You for sending Jesus by whose holy blood and precious sacrifice I and my loved ones can be set free from the brokenness, woundedness, sinful attitudes and negative patterns of my (our) ancestry. I thank You, Father, that You have called me to be free from all bondage in the name of Jesus, and I praise You that, in Christ, I shall be set free.

And now, Lord Jesus, gently reveal to me in the power of the Holy Spirit those ways in which I may be living out inherited sin patterns. All of these sin patterns, known and unknown to me, in my life and in the lives of my ancestors (in my spouse's life, in his/ her ancestors, and in our offspring) — I acknowledge them all before You, Father. I confess to You the evil inclinations, compulsions and bad habits that have influenced us. I ask You to forgive me and all of my ancestors (my spouse and his/her ancestors and our offspring) for all these sins. In the name of Jesus and by His holy blood, set us free in You forever, Holy Father. Empty our souls of sin, and fill them with the holiness of Jesus.

I claim the Lord Jesus Christ as my true inheritance, and I thank You, Father, for the most wonderful gift of Your Holy Son. I bless You, Jesus, that You have come to show me my true roots, which are within the very heart of God the Father. I praise You, Holy Trinity. Those whom the Son sets free are free indeed. Alleluia! Amen.
