Healing the Broken Hearted: PERSONAL SIN & THE SPIRITUAL SIN CHECKLIST
Personal Sin
One of the ways the enemy gains access into our lives to oppress us is through personal sin — willful or ignorant disobedience to God, or engagement in occultic practices.
Repentance: Closing the Doors Opened by Sin
Repentance closes the doors that sin has opened in our lives and cuts off the enemy’s access to that ground. As we identify, confess, and repent of personal sin, we give that ground back to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, NKJV).

Sins of Attitude (Who We Are)
☐ prideful ☐ rebellious ☐ self-sufficient
☐ independent ☐ seek to excel ☐ slothful
☐ vain ☐ controlling ☐ complacent
☐ striving ☐ disbelieving ☐ self-righteous
Ask God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to reveal to you if there are other sins not on this list that you may have forgotten yet need to address. These sins remain in your subconscious for your entire life until you deal with them. As long as they are there, your spiritual gates are still open and Satan can continue to use them against you.
Be open to the ways in which God chooses to reveal things to you. He may reveal a picture of something that happened in the past that draws up feelings and/or thoughts that need to be addressed, or the name of someone may come to you to spark another memory. If anything is unclear, just ask the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to enlighten your mind’s understanding.

Lord God, I confess and acknowledge ______________ as a sin in my life.
I am sorry for my sin and I repent of it.
I renounce this sin and give back the spiritual ground to my Lord Jesus.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
