Be Restored Quotes

“Step-by-Step Forgiveness Prayer Ask the Holy Spirit to show you who you need to forgive (could be family, friend, abuser, God, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, or yourself). Picture the person in front of you, and pay attention to what you think and feel in their presence. Think about what they did and how it affected you. How do you feel about it? Make note of what you are feeling and allow it to surface. In your imagination tell them everything they did to hurt you and how it affected you. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what you believe about yourself based on that incident. (It may be helpful to review the various identity lies in chapter 6.) Renounce the identity lies (see appendix 3, “Renouncing Barriers to Healing”). Ask Jesus to reveal the truth about your identity (see appendix 4, “Healing Identity Wounds”). Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the condemning judgments you hold toward yourself and the person who hurt you. Renounce these judgments (see appendix 3, “Renouncing Barriers to Healing”). Renounce any unhealthy attachments between you and that person (see appendix 3, “Renouncing Barriers to Healing”). Bring that person to the foot of the Cross, and ask Jesus to forgive them (and you). As you stand with the person at the foot of the Cross, turn to them and forgive them. Pray blessing over the person and ask God to bless them in the opposite way they hurt you. Ask Jesus to heal both of you. Thank Jesus for his forgiveness and healing.”
