GUILT is how we feel about what we have done or been involved in.
SHAME is how we feel about ourselves because of what we have done or what has been done to us.
CONDEMNATION is the accusing voice of the enemy saying we are unworthy. In contrast to condemnation, God's conviction is God’s invitation to forgiveness and reconciliation.
REPENT
Father God, I repent of doubting Your love for me. I also repent of not believing that You have really forgiven me and that the blood of Jesus has cleansed me from all of the sin, all of the guilt, and all of the shame of my past. Holy God, I repent of listening and agreeing with the voice of the “accuser” telling me that I am an evil person, that I am dirty, and that I am unworthy to come and receive Your love.
RENOUNCE
Here today, I renounce guilt, false guilt, and shame. I renounce condemnation, self- condemnation, and all sense of unworthiness. I renounce every spirit assigned to work against me with guilt, shame, and condemnation. I renounce what they have done to keep me from becoming the person God created me to be.
BREAK
I break all agreements I have made with the lying voices of guilt, shame, condemnation, and self- condemnation. I break all word curses I have spoken about myself. I break all soul ties and all generational ties that would bind me in any way to past guilt, shame, or condemnation. I break every vow, covenant, or agreement, and all word curses that would give these spirits any power or influence in my life. All spirits of guilt, shame, and condemnation, I break your power over me in the mighty Name of Jesus.
Father God, I choose to open my heart to receive Your unconditional love, Your grace and forgiveness, and a full release from all guilt and shame in my life. And, by Your grace, I also choose to forgive myself, in Jesus’ Name.
They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. - Psalm 34:5
Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us shame of face... O Lord, to us belongs shame of face because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against you. - Daniel 9:7
Oh my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to you my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens. - Ezra 9:6
