Lord Jesus, I repent for my unbelief, my hard-heartedness, my stubbornness, my chronic failure to obey. For having allowed myself to be deceived by sin. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. Forgive any remnant of unbelief. Help me move from belief that to belief in. Please give me the gift of faith. Give me a double portion of faith. I want an Abraham kind of faith that hopes against hope. That believes in Your ability and desire to speak that which is not as though it is. Father, You have rescued me from the kingdom of darkness and transferred me into the kingdom of the Son of Your love, and yet I don’t live that way I’m sorry for trusting more in the power of the enemy than in Your power and authority. I’m sorry I haven’t done what You said to do But I want to With all that I am, I want to I want a Hebrews 11 kind of faith. The kind that pleases You and that You write about. Holy Spirit, come fill me now with faith. Father, in my weakness I have chosen unbelief because it’s easier. Because it requires nothing Forgive me Help my unbelief Lord, my enemy is fear So, in agreement with Your Word, I rebuke, bind, cast down, reject, and repel the spirit of fear in my life now and forever. Get out! Go! I’m calling you out. You must flee now in the name of Jesus. And where there is a generational curse of fear passed to me by my ancestors, I break that curse in the name and by the blood of Jesus. I proclaim that Jesus has given me—past tense—a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. I receive the Holy Spirit now and release Him to abound and grow in my life. Father, please show me as we walk out of here any place where I am encouraging my own faithlessness. Please show me any door of unbelief. Please show me any wound of my past or experience that is limiting or hindering my deeper faith in You Father, please reveal what is hidden in me that limits me or causes me to be fearful or unbelieving Lastly, I thank You for the gift of faith, and I receive it. I open my eyes, my ears, my head, and especially my heart to faith. Father, I believe. I believe in You, in all You did, and all You said to do. And from this day forward, I have a God kind of faith that obeys—that preaches the kingdom, heals the sick, casts out demons, cleanses the lepers, and raises the dead In Jesus’ name
