Iniquity is an entire body of sin and evil rooted in our spirit. Iniquity has corrupted our souls (the whole structure of our thoughts and our behavior) and it has also infiltrated our bodies (our bones and organs).  

Uprooting iniquity takes time and dedication, but it will be the best investment in our lives. The fruit of righteousness, together with the promises and the long-awaited blessings of God will manifest in us. A new chapter waits, full of great joy and victory in Christ Jesus.  

These insights into INIQUITY were drawn from the video below and this online article. 

• The Hebrew word most commonly translated for iniquity is AVAH/AVON which means to be bent or crooked; bent out of shape, distorted. So in essence, iniquity is the inner act of willfulness against God. It causes us to walk with a "bentness" towards not doing what pleases God. This crookedness is so deeply rooted in us that it has corrupted our inner motivations and the attitudes of our heart.

• Based on the teaching of Jesus and other passages of Scripture, iniquity is doing our own will instead of God’s will, even if our own will appears to be “doing good.”

• The reason we sometimes continue to commit sins is because we fail to address the iniquity in our hearts. God wants to get to the heart of who we are. Only then will we begin to see the things we do, say, think, etc. change.

• Great illustration: If an archer wildly misses a mark, we would use the word CHATTAH (sin). He was shooting for something and he came up short. If we wanted to explore WHY the archer fell short, we would likely use a word like AVON (or iniquity). Iniquity points to the character/heart which causes the missed shot. Iniquity points to our perverse desire to twist God’s holy standard. We break God’s standard because our iniquity drives us to twist God’s Word.

• The issue is not simply the outward expression of sin, it is also the heart that created the standard-breaking behavior… We are not merely aiming for changed behavior. In other words, our goal is not simply to stop sin, but also to address the iniquity of the heart which fueled the sinful action.

• God doesn’t only atone for our sin, he also takes away our iniquity. The work of Christ addresses sin, transgression, and iniquity to the fullest. This is great news. God doesn’t just clean the outside of the cup, but he does substantial heart work. He finds us at our vilest and cleanses us. There is no sin or iniquity so deep that Christ cannot forgive, heal, and transform, for he was “pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities (AVON)…” (Isaiah 53:5) 

DIRECTION: The first thing we must do is ask the Holy Spirit to help us in this wonderful process of deliverance. We must ask him to send us a true spirit of repentance and the courage to change. Pray this prayer below with sincerity. 

DIRECTION: What you must do next is consecrate the moment of your conception. In the kingdom of God and in the invisible world there is no time or reason why we cannot amend some things according to God's will. Imagine your fathers sperm and your mother's ovule that gave you life. Now pray something like this below. 

DIRECTION: Now take a notebook in which to jot down everything that the Lord brings to your remembrance or show you. Review the iniquity list provided here for you, as drawn from the Bible. Pray over each of these sins, one at a time. Take a moment as you go over the list, waiting for the Spirit to bring conviction, and memories of revelation. Then confess your iniquity and the iniquity of your ancestors. It is likely you have committed [some of] the same sins that they have committed, since it is recorded in your spiritual inheritance. 

[Below is an extensive list created] in order to provide better tools for your liberation... At times it will be necessary to make detailed, exhaustive lists . This is not a requirement for your salvation; it is for your total liberty and blessing. Take the time over days to seek God about this and to add to your working list of your ancestors sins.

DIRECTION: Once you have asked forgiveness very specifically in each area that you have identified with, command all iniquity to be uprooted from your spirit and soul.

Then, command the physical substance produced by the iniquity to be loosened from your bones and organs, and command it to exit your body. As these are literal liquids, they will leave the body through diarrhea, vomiting, excessive urine, phlegm and runny nose as if one had a cold. All this is natural and will leave in this way. 

It is a good idea when you are commanding these substances to exit your body, that you touch all of your joints and place your hands on the different body parts. If someone full of the Spirit can help you, tell him to place her/his hands on each joint of the vertebrae in your back while you command the iniquity to leave. Pray this prayer below. 

DIRECTION: Continue doing this until it manifests and it is out. It may take hours or even days for all to leave. You may feel a little tired, but this is totally normal. You will recover quickly. Once you have done this, cancel the curse that have resulted from the iniquity in your life.
