Prayer of Renunciation for the Misogynistic Spirit

Paul Cox

Heavenly Father I repent and renounce on behalf of myself and my generational line, for all hatred and dishonoring of women.

I repent for all who engaged in forced marriages, prostitution, and the treatment of women as objects to be bought and sold without regard to their safety or calling for the purpose of sexual exploitation or financial gain. I repent for all who used women, particularly older or unattractive women, as slave labor. Lord would you break the consequences on my family line for those who were treated as burdens and neglected as worthless because of their feminine gender.

I repent for all who considered women little better than animals, without a spirit or genuine intelligence. I repent for all who enforced female genital mutilation in order to control and subdue women. I repent for all who believed the lie found in many religions that women were created first and faulty.

I repent for all who practiced Droit d’Seigneur, a practice that enabled the owners of feudal estates to deflower virgins on their wedding night to other men. I repent for all who valued women based on proof, real or imagined, of their virginity. I repent for all who dehumanized women by romanticizing them as pure and untouchable, or demonized them by reducing them to only sexual roles. More specifically, I repent for all who were deceived by the manifestation of the misogynistic spirit known as the Madonna/whore complex.

I repent for the generational hatred of the female gender that led to infanticide of girls in many cultures and many centuries. I repent for all who murdered those woman.

I repent for all who practiced hysterectomies without medical cause in order to solve emotional distresses in women.

I repent for all who participated in dishonorable legal practices in regards to women, withholding from them the right to own property, have custody of their children, or having a voice in their own lives. I repent for all who participated in legal violence against women. I repent for all who committed financial abuse against women, refusing to provide for them as is right. I repent for all who denied women access to education in order to subjugate them. I repent for all who have denied women access into various trades because of fear and greed, denying them a way for providing for themselves. I repent for all who valued the equal labor of a woman as less than equal.

I repent for all who committed violence against women during the days when women peaceably demonstrated in order to have a right to vote.

I repent for all who engaged in abortion, forced or voluntary. I repent for all who participated in corrupt obstetrical practices such as the outlawing of forceps because of a belief that women were to suffer during childbirth. I repent for all who participated in modern gynecological practices that administered scopolamine, not in order to relieve pain, but to disorder the woman’s mind so that she would not remember giving birth and then removed the baby forcibly while the mother was trapped in restraints.

I repent for all who have participated in obstetrical practices that ignored the needs of the mother in preference to the doctor, such as unnecessary cesareans, episiotomies and all other procedures that treat pregnancy as an illness.

I repent for all who valued women solely on the basis of their ability to bear children, particularly male children, and particularly for all those who blamed their wives for the failure to produce children.

I repent for all who have objectified women by valuing them solely on the basis of their beauty. I repent for all who have debased women by participating in pornography and prostitution.

I repent for all who have rejected women based on flaws in comparison with the beauty standard of the time. I repent for all who in their fixation on female beauty missed the genuine beauty that God placed within woman.

I repent for all who have twisted the original intent of the submission of women in marriage, dishonoring the knowledge that women are co-heirs with Christ. I repent for all who have used their authority to humiliate abuse and control women.

I repent for all who have been deceived by the feminist mindset which views God, marriage, and motherhood as the primary avenues of violence against women, rather than the enemy. I repent for all who have rejected their roles as women in preference to those of men. I repent for all who have dishonored women by this rejection.

I ask you, Father God, to cleanse all misogyny from my generational line and restore to the women in my family line the place you originally intended for them. I ask you to bless them with the knowledge of your love, a desire to claim their inheritance and an acceptance of their destiny in You. I release all in my family line and through the ages who have operated under the misogynistic spirit in forgiveness.

(For Woman)I repent for my own participation in the woman-hating spirit. I now break every curse I have spoken over myself, including my body and its functions, in the name of Jesus. I repent of any spiritual rebellion or anger over the choice of my Heavenly Father to create me a woman. I accept my female gender and bless it, in the name of Jesus.
