Overcoming Jezebel, Athaliah, And Belial In The ... - Kanaan Ministries

Lord, forgive our fathers who left You, walked off and never looked back, for followingother gods, worshipping them and for not keeping Your law. Forgive us for doing worsethan our fathers and for stubbornly doing whatever we want to, whenever you want toand refusing to pay attention to You.Deliver us from the fishermen and hunters who hunt us down. Lord, You watch usclosely and our iniquities are not hidden from You. You are our strength and stronghold,our safe retreat when trouble comes.Our fathers lived on lies, useless illusions and left us a foolish heritage.Lord, our sin is inscribed with an iron chisel with the point of a diamond –engraved onour granite hearts and upon the horns of our altars. Lord, even the children in ourgenerational line worship at the pagan altars, the idolatrous Asherah sex-and-religiongroves by the green trees upon the high hills.Therefore the treasures of the mountains in the field – the high places have becomeplunder. We have lost our heritage and served our enemies in strange lands and haveyou’re your anger blaze with an everlasting fire. Lord, forgive us and restore us.Lord, we repent for trusting in man, and for relying on human strength and ingenuity, forhumanism, for turning our hearts away from You. Lord, by doing so, we have becomelike the heath in the desert with no hope for the future but living in the barrenwilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.Lord, we will trust in you and put our hope in You. By doing this, we shall be as treesplanted by the waters, spreading our roots by the river, not bothered by the heat or longmonths of drought but bearing fruit every season.Lord, we know that the heart is naturally hopelessly wicked and deceitful – a puzzle thatno one can figure out. But You Lord, search the heart, examine the mind and motives,giving us rewards according to our actions.We repent for ill-gotten riches which soon leave us. It is because we have forsaken You,the fountain of living waters that we now dwell in shame. Lord, heal us and we shall trulybe healed. Save us and we shall truly be saved, for our praises are for You alone.Lord, we repent for forgetting You, for burning incense to worthless ideas and gods,stumbled off the ancient highways and walk in muddy path instead. Our land hasbecome desolate – a monument to our stupidity.We repent for filling the land with the blood of the innocent, for building the high placesof Baal, Moloch and Ashtaroth, for sacrificing our children as burnt offerings to theseunholy gods as was done in the valley of Hinnom.158
