Repenting, Renouncing, Breaking and Blessing

Continued from previous entry.

God, I repent. I repent of masturbating and thinking it was okay; for giving into the lies that had me believing it was okay. I repent of thinking that since I’d masturbated once I could keep on doing it. I repent of liking my erotic dream and wanting it to continue—of not trying to get out of it. I repent of using food to comfort myself in my discombobulation. I repent for shutting you and your Spirit out in my righteous indignation over what happened at the conference. God, I don’t want to ever masturbate again. It opens too many doors to the enemy. I don’t want to shut You out, regardless of what happens. I want to believe only the truth and recognize the lies for what they are. I don’t want to enjoy sex with anyone but my husband—not even in dreams. God, I don’t want to use food for comfort or to fill my loneliness. I don’t want to use sex that way either.

I renounce the lie that I have believed—the lie that masturbation is okay if I don’t allow my thoughts to go to lust or fantasy. I renounce the desire to have sexual pleasure apart from my husband. I renounce the desire to give myself comfort through masturbation and I renounce the lie that masturbation will give me any comfort or help me feel better when I’m unhappy, lonely, out of sorts or any other negative feeling.

I break off all residue of my sin. I break off all connection to all I’ve renounced. I break off the spirit of Jezebel. I want nothing to do with you. I break off all lying spirits and all deceiving spirits. (Lord, what else should I break off?)

Father, thank you for Your forgiveness. I want to walk in the blessings of repentance. I choose to walk in Your ways. I love You.

To be continued.

Thank you for sharing and being so honest. Believe it or not, this is really stuff I need to read and absorb and apply to my life.

You are truly a blessing Maggie.

I'm glad it's a blessing to you, Christine. It's such a taboo subject in most circles that it's hard to find the support and encouragement we need to get free. If it's true that sin flourishes in the darkness and in secret then what we need it to put it into the light. That's what I'm trying to do. God bless you. I know you love Him dearly and want His best for your life. {{{{Christine}}}}
