Renouncing
Sins
Two Reasons to Renounce Reason #1 - To provide personal evidence of
miraculous change that encourages others to believe in the Gospel
Message of Jesus Christ. As we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2nd Corinthians 4:1-2 Reason #2 - To maintain a godly life
free from demonic bondage. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:11-14 I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Galatians 5:16-18. If we are not obedient to the word of God and choose to feed our flesh and not look at the consequences, then we cannot enter the kingdom of God. Things That Should Be Renounced
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:14-15 Personal sins are the offenses that you committed against God. It may be you have prayed and asked the Lord to forgive you of 'all' of your sins, and He has, but you are still tasked with the responsibility of renouncing these sins for the two reasons I listed above. I encourage you to pray and ask the Lord to reveal to you all sins you need to renounce. The renouncing of your sin to another person can be a simple and informal statement such as, "I used to do that, but the Lord showed me it is wrong. I don't want anything to do with that ever again." This lets the person know that whatever it was you did was wrong and sinful. It also let's the other person know that the Holy Spirit has trained you to renounce ungodly living. You may be required to make a more formal renunciation for the purpose of obtaining deliverance from the demons associated with your own personal sins. When renouncing these sins you should say a statement similar to this, "I humble myself before the Lord to confess and renounce the sins of (put in the names of your sins here). In the name of Jesus, I expel from myself all evil spirits who gained entrance by these sins." Ancestral sins are those that your ancestors or family members committed. It may be that you have already renounced some of these sins earlier when dealing with your own. If you have not renounced your own personal sins go back up and do that first. Even if you haven't committed the same sins your ancestors or other family members have, you should still renounce their sins, too. The reason this needs done is to separate yourself from the generational curses their sins bring to the family. Your renunciation might inspire your other family members to renounce their sins, too. A formal renunciation of ancestral and family sins might look something like this, "I renounce the ancestral and family sins of (all ancestral and family sins). I subject all curses that come with those sins to Christ's authority. In the name of Jesus, I expel from myself all evil spirits who gained entrance via my family's bloodline." Below you will find a list of general sins. None of the lists are exhaustive, so you might consider customizing your own lists that contain your specific sins.
These sins are those that other people perpetrated against you. If you were abused then you need to renounce the sins of your abuser so that you may not become the same kind of perpetrator. It is not uncommon for an abused person to fall into the same sin his or her abuser committed; therefore these sins must be renounced so that may never happen. A formal renunciation of the sins against you might look something like this, "I renounce the sins of (whatever was done against you). I subject all curses that come with those sins to Christ's authority. In the name of Jesus, I expel from myself all evil spirits who gained entrance by these sins." perversion (immorality, belittling, incest, rape, sodomy, incest,
and molestation) False Religions A formal renunciation of involvement with any false religion would look like this, "I renounce ever participating in (all false religions you were a part of). I subject all curses that come with such participation to Christ's authority. In the name of Jesus, I expel from myself all evil spirits who gained entrance due to my involvement."
