“Could it be that many of the problems we face are self-fulfilling prophecies of negative words we have spoken over ourselves and our situations? How much more powerful is the Word of God when we declare it over our lives, our families, and over the situations we face.”
– Bill Johnson

Prayer of Liberation: Breaking Curses and Declaring Blessings in Jesus' Name
In the name of Jesus
I break every curse of words against me
I take every word captive that has been spoken over me
…that I spoke over myself
And I break the power of those curses from hell
I cancel every assignment of darkness
I cast them to the ground
I call blessing to fall on me in their place
I take back every curse I have spoken against another
I cast those words down to the ground
I return a blessing on those with whom I have cursed
Jesus took my cursing so I can live in blessing
