1 St. Padre Pio Center for Deliverance Counseling PRAYER SIGNATURES Pray each prayer and then date and sign at the appropriate places. The purpose of the Prayer s is to make a definitive declaration in writing, an announcement to all spiritual and human persons, sealed with your signature as a sign of your commitment, to the theme and issues presented in each prayer. Profession of Faith Eternal God, I bow before you in a sincere and honest confession that I am a sinner and that I have sinned against you. I repent of my sin and apologize to you for all I have done. I completely surrender to your authority as revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures and by your One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Because of your holy Word, Lord Jesus, I do receive you into my life as my Lord and Savior. I believe in you and accept you as my forgiveness, cleansing, righteousness, and eternal life. I also make my allegiance to be loyal and obedient to your Church and to your appointed Vicar, the Pope, and to the Magisterium in union with him. I want to thank you for making all of this possible. In Jesus name, Amen. (Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30; Jn. 1:12; 3:16-18, 36; 5:14; 8:24; Rom. 5:1; 8:1; 10:9, 10; 1 Jn. 1:9; Rev. 3:20) I now make the decision, Lord Jesus, to receive you as my sanctification as my cleansing from sin, and ask you, blessed Holy Spirit, to apply to me the work of the crucifixion. Cleanse me from my pride, hypocrisy, lust, selfishness, doubt, jealousy and all that is unpleasing to you. In cooperation with and dependence upon you, I make the decision of faith to put away the old self (Eph. 4:22; Rom. 6:1-22; 1 Cor. 1:30; Gal. 5:6-21; Col. 3:1-17). I now make the decision, Lord Jesus, to receive you as my glorification, as my enablement to live above sin each moment by moment. I ask you, blessed Holy Spirit, to apply to me the work of the Resurrection so that I may walk in newness of life. I sincerely desire to have humility, honesty, purity, love, faith, and longsuffering in my daily life. In co-operation with and dependence upon you, I make the decision to put on the new self and take on a renewed mind that is in Christ Jesus (Eph. 4:24; Rom. 6:1-4; Gal. 5:22-26). I now make the decision, Lord Jesus, to receive you as my deliverance from Satan, and by faith, I take my position with you in the heavenlies. I ask you, blessed Holy Spirit, to apply to me the work of the Ascension. I wholly surrender to You and, in the name of Jesus Christ, take my stand against all satanic influence and subtlety. In cooperation with the dependence upon you, I make the decision of faith to resist the devil (Eph. 1:17-23; 2:1-6; 4:27; 6:10-18; Col. 1:13; Heb. 2:14, 15; Jam. 4:7; 1 Pet. 5:8, 9). 1

2 I now make the decision to receive you, blessed Holy Spirit, as my anointing for every area of my life. I ask you, in all sincerity, to bring my character and life into full conformity to the person of Jesus Christ and to the will of God. Please work with me so that Jesus Christ may be glorified and the fruit of your presence will be seen in my life. In cooperation with my dependence upon you, I make the decision of faith to be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18; Jn 7:37-39; 14:16, 17, 26; 15:26, 27; 16:7-15; Acts 1:8; 2:33; Rom. 8:1-17). Having made this confession and these decisions of faith, I now take as my own Your promised rest for my life. I relax in the trust of faith knowing that in the moment of temptation, trial, or need, You will be there to be my strength and sufficiency (Heb. 4:1-13; 1 Cor. 10:13). Amen. Prayer for the Spirit s Filling Lord Jesus Christ, I want to belong to you from now on. I want to be free from the dominion of darkness and the rule of Satan, and I want to enter into your Kingdom and be part of your people. I will turn away from all sin, and I will avoid everything that leads me to sin and wrongdoing. Thank you for forgiving all the sins I have committed and for the Sacrament of Confession that allows me to reconcile with You when I fall. You came into my life through Baptism and Confirmation, you bring me back to Yourself through Confession when I sin, and you allow me the most profound intimacy with you through your Real Presence in the Eucharist. Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me, a sinner, such a great grace and love. Because I love you and want always to be with you as my beloved, I now renew my baptismal promises to reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises. I now ask you to come into my heart in a very personal way that I may commune with you deeply and intimately. I offer my life to You, and I promise to obey you as my Lord and Master. I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit. Amen. 2

3 Prayer of Renunciation Concerning the Sins of Ancestors As a child of God purchased by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, I here and now renounce and repudiate all the sins of my ancestors and other family members. As one who has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God s dear Son, I cancel out all curses, spells, hexes, or other demonic workings that have been passed on to me from my ancestors or from other family members. As one who as been crucified with Jesus Christ and raised to walk in newness of life, I cancel every curse, spell, hex or other evil matter that may have been put upon me. I announce to Satan and all his forces that Christ became a curse for me when he hung on the Cross. As one who has been crucified and raised with Christ and now sits with him in heavenly places, I renounce any and every way in which Satan may claim ownership of me. I declare myself to be eternally and completely signed over and committed to the Lord Jesus Christ. All this I do in the name and by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, with the intercessions of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Blessed St. Michael the Archangel, the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, Sts. Benedict, Basil, Padre Pio, Bruno, Dymphna, and my Guardian Angel, and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven. Amen. (Rom. 6:4; Gal. 2:20; 3:13; Eph. 1:7; 2:5-6; Col. 1:13) Claiming One s Union/Prayer For Victory Loving heavenly Father, I praise you that Satan is a defeated foe. I rejoice that his defeat was accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ through his sinless life, death, burial, Resurrection, and Ascension into glory. I look forward to that day when the Lord Jesus Christ rules and Satan will be forever consigned to the lake of fire prepared for him and his angels. I rejoice that you have given to me, in my union with the Lord Jesus Christ, complete victory over Satan today. By faith, I express my desire to abide in the protection and blessing of the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray the omnipotent power of his name over my family, and over all you have given me and called me to do. I pray the name of the Lord Jesus Christ against Satan and all that his kingdom would do to hinder God s plan for my life. I enter into my victory aggressively and claim my place as more than a conqueror (Rom. 8:37) through him that loved me. I refuse to admit continuing defeat by Satan in any area of my life. He cannot and will not rule over me. I am dead with Christ to the devil s rule. 3

4 I praise you for the Cross and death of the Lord Jesus Christ, desiring all the benefits of his death to focus upon my life, my family, and over all that you have given me and called me to do. I affirm that my death with Christ can defeat the control and rule of sin, of death, and of Satan. I desire the shed blood of Christ to be against all that Satan is doing to hinder me. Grant to me the grace to affirm your victory even when experiences of life seem to say otherwise. Grant to me the wisdom to know that the fierceness of the battle is not evidence of defeat. I thank you for each phase of all battles that I may and will experience and thank you for all that you are seeking to accomplish in your wisdom and design for my life. I accept the battles and rejoice in your purpose. I willingly accept and desire to profit from all of your purpose in letting Satan s kingdom get at me, for I know that except by the volition of my will and flesh Satan cannot come through the wall and hedge of protection you erect for your children without your express consent and will. (see Job ) I reject all of Satan s purpose. I thank you for what you are doing by allowing Satan s kingdom to war against me. Use the battle to refine, to deepen, to mature, to humble, and to build my faith. Grant to me the insight and understanding to know my victory. I desire that the roots of my assurance of victory would go down deeply into the essential doctrines of your Word. I want to see myself as being invincibly strong through my union with Christ, the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, the wholeness of your provided armor, the allness of prayer, and the communion of loyalty and obedience to your Church and Magisterium. Teach me how to appropriate my victory in a practical, daily practice. Through the victory of my Lord and Savior, I stand resolute and strong upon the certainty of my victory. In confidence, I look to You, Lord Jesus Christ. Humbly I use the authority of my union with Christ to pull down all of Satan s strongholds (2 Cor. 10:4) and all of his plans formed against me personally, against my family, and against God s appointed plan for my life. I deliberately submit my life and apostolate to your Lordship and to the guidance of your One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge that everything that is good about my life, home, and all that you have given and called me to do is because of your lordship and gracious blessing. By faith, I claim my invincible right to be strong and victorious in your complete salvation. I refuse to be discouraged. I reject all emotions that make me feel defeated. I choose to live as one who is more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ my Lord (Rom 8:37). When your purpose for each of the trials that come into my life is fulfilled, I know that it shall fade into the dimness of forgotten battles and a defeated enemy. 4

5 Through the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, with all thanksgiving, and with the intercessions of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Blessed St. Michael the Archangel, the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, Sts. Benedict, Basil, Padre Pio, Bruno, Dymphna, and my Guardian Angel, and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, it shall be so. Amen. 5
