Healing the Broken Hearted: The Occult Checklist & Prayer of Release
The Occult
Engagement in occultic practices (i.e, supernatural activity outside of God’s righteous, biblical boundaries) is one of the ways the enemy gains access into our lives to oppress us — whether through our own involvement or through occult activity in our family line.

Lord Jesus, I recognize and confess ______________ as a sin in my life.
I am deeply sorry for this sin and I repent of it. Please forgive me.
I renounce Satan in this area in all his ways.
I take back any spiritual territory I have given him and I now give it to God.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

  1. After confessing and repenting of these sins, pray the following prayer aloud just once:

In the name of the Lord Jesus, I repeat my baptismal vows and commit my life to Jesus.
Lord, I claim and thank You for all of the blessings made available to me because of Your death on the cross.
Lord, You gave us power over the adversary—I therefore release myself
And my family from any hold which any of these occult activities have, or have had, on our lives.
I cancel any curse against me or against any member of my family.
I claim the protection of the blood of Jesus over my mind, body, and spirit.
I close the door on you, Satan, never to be opened again. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
