184 above sin. Therefore, in this day, I put off the old nature with its selfishness, and I put on the new nature with its love. I put off the old nature with its fear and I put on the new nature with its courage. I put off the old nature with its weakness and I put on the new nature with its strength. I put off today the old nature with all its deceitful lusts and I put on the new nature with all its righteousness and purity. I do in every way stand into the victory of the ascension and the glorification of the Son of God where all principalities and powers were made subject to Him, and I claim my place in Christ victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul. Blessed Holy Spirit, I pray that You would fill me. Come into my life, break down every idol and cast out every foe. I am thankful, heavenly Father, for the expression of Your will for my daily life as You have shown me in Your Word. I therefore claim all the will of God for today. I am thankful that You have begotten me unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. I am thankful that You have made a provision so that today I can live filled with the Spirit of God with love and joy and self-control in my life. And I recognize that this is Your will for me, and I therefore reject and resist all the endeavors of Satan and of his demons to rob me of the will of God. I hold up the shield of faith against all the accusations and against all the insinuations that Satan would put in my mind. I do, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, completely surrender myself to You, heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice. I choose not to be conformed to this world. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, and I pray that You would show me Your will and enable me to walk in all the fullness of the will of God today. I am thankful, heavenly Father, that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses, and for destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and to bring every thought into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore in my own life today I tear down the strongholds of Satan, and I smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against me. I tear down the strongholds of Satan against my mind, and I choose to think my thoughts after You, blessed Holy Spirit. I affirm, heavenly Father, that You have not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I break and smash the stronghold of Satan formed against my emotions today, and I give my emotions to You. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my will today, and I give m will to You, and choose to make the right decisions of faith. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my body today, and I give my body to You, recognizing that I am Your temple; and I rejoice in Your mercy and Your goodness.
185 Heavenly Father, I pray that You would renew me with Your life; show me the way that Satan is hindering and tempting and lying and counterfeiting and distorting the truth in my life. Enable me to be the kind of person that would please You. Enable me to be aggressive in prayer. Enable me to be aggressive mentally and to think Your thoughts after You, and to give Your rightful place in my life. Again, I now cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that you, blessed Holy Spirit, would bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of Pentecost into my life today. I yield my life to You. I refuse to be discouraged. Your are the God of all hope. You have proven Your power by resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead, and I claim in every way Your victory over all satanic forces active in my life, and I reject these forces; and I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving. Amen.” 67 The Three R’s: Remember, Renounce, Reclaim The Three R’s have been described as “A simple formula, applying God’s truth in your life!” “A pattern affirmed in Scripture.” “Spiritually very powerful.” The Three R’s The “Three R’s” are a spiritual discipline you as a child of God can use for personal inner healing and victory. It is a way of affirming the Lordship of Christ in your life, so it is a kind of “truth encounter,” committing yourself to the truth of who you are in Christ! 68 Actually, there are three such “encounters.” An “allegiance encounter” occurred when you committed your life to the control of Jesus. Then a “truth encounter” occurs whenever you reaffirm Jesus as Lord of the whole or any part of your life. The third is a “power encounter” which occurs when God works powerfully to defeat the forces of Darkness and set someone free-- such as a prayer session asking for deliverance from something in your life. That is why we recommend the use of the “Three R’s” as a preparation before coming to a deliverance prayer session. 69 The process involves three steps that begin with the letter R: Remember, Renounce, Reclaim. Here are some suggestions how to go about it:
