Prayer for Releasing the Gift of Discernment


Father, on behalf of myself and my generational line I renounce and repent back to before the beginning of time for:

  • All sins, iniquities, and transgressions that have blocked the gift of discerning of spirits from being activated and used in a way that is godly and anointed for the Glory of God.
  • All wrong uses of the gift of discernment for selfish manipulative personal gain.
  • Using the gift of discernment with help from the power of darkness.

Father God, even as I ask for Your forgiveness, I receive Your forgiveness and choose to forgive myself for all misuse and abuse of the gift of discernment. Please release the gift of discernment so that I can grow up, be on the cutting edge and listen sharply and clearly to the voice of Your Spirit.

Lord, right now I repent and renounce all spirits assigned against the gift of discernment, including deaf and dumb spirits, passivity, unbelief, accusation, intimidation, religious spirits, torment, greed, doubts, blockages, condemnation, destruction, fears, unforgiveness, pride, shame, control, deception, uncertainty, dullness, distractions, procrastination, laziness, victimization, legalism, timidity/intimidation, mockery, oppression, repression, suppression, rebellion, inferiority, inadequacy, limitation, failure, double binding, double mindedness, confusion, rejection, abuse, loss, stupidity, occult lust, insecurity, seduction, jealousy, envy, malice, anger, murder, pain, resistance, rebellion, disobedience, poverty, unworthiness, sabotage, criticalness, wanting, helplessness, spirit of death, violence, mistrust, gossip, lying, slander, infirmity, manipulation, dissention, and spiritual autism.

Give me ears to hear You and the ability to speak Your words. Help me to be proactive, believing, trusting, encouraging, courageous, bold, spirit-filled, peace-filled,  quiet, generous, content, open and flowing in Your Spirit, praiseworthy, edifying, forgiving, humble, pure, innocent, not controlling, honest, without guile, true, sure of the truth, alert, clear, bright, resonant, quickened, focused, quick to obey, hard-working, diligent, overcoming, grace-giving, merciful, real, authentic, free, obedient, adequate, unlimited in Your resources, successful, single-hearted and single-minded for You, filled with understanding, rightly ordered and aligned, coherent, connected, accepted, loved, cared for, provided for, wise, accurate, self-controlled, secure, loving, joyful, vulnerable, rich, worthy, trustworthy, helpful, life-filled, strong, stable, sound, direct, awake and alert.

Lord Jesus, I renounce and repent for all activities that have opened the third eye in me to receive deceptive vision and have opened all the different chakras. Please blind all powers of darkness that have utilized the third eye in all its various dimensions and in all my different parts that are trapped, lost, and enslaved in the dimensions. Please cut off all connections that watchers have with the third eye to gain information and monitor my movements, and remove all evil powers associated with the third eye.

Please assign angels to remove the third eye from all parts of my being, in all its various dimensions, whether in the past, present or future. Fill me with Your presence and replace evil with good, and remove all occult influences and pressures over my life to try to attempt to plant and to activate the third eye from now and forever.

Lord Jesus, I receive the eyes of Your Spirit, and ask that I will only see what You want me to see. Cause all the strategies of the enemy to be exposed by divine revelations of Your will, and  open my eyes to see Your power and glory and all Your glories in heaven.

Thank You for showing me how to receive Your resources in all situations, with all kinds of people, and for letting me know Your divine timing, opportunities, and open doors to supply all that is necessary in my life; in all spiritual, physical, and emotional abundance so everything I do and say will be a sweet-smelling aroma and sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to You.

Father God, thank You for helping me to begin to understand the incredible greatness of Your power to all who believe in You;  the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

Thank You Lord:

  • For giving us a way to access Your incredible wealth of grace and kindness even as we walk in unity.
  • For showing by discernment to walk in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
  • That there are no limitations to all You have called me to do.
  • For showing me the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, so that I will be able to flee from temptation and live in spiritual truth and freedom.

Father God, I want to know what You want me to do and am asking now for Your wisdom. Thank You:

  • That You will gladly give me what I ask for and will never resent my asking.
  • For teaching me how to submit to my leaders and to fellow believers, biblically and spiritually. Give me the attitude and faith that produces breakthrough, healing miracles, growth, and fruitfulness so that I will reach the full potential of my birthright. Teach me how to live in the harmony of the unity of faith that will glorify You.
  • For giving me the ability to discern all the spiritual gifts and callings that You have given to me.
  • For teaching me how to develop, use, and maximize all you have given me to the fullest potential—to bring Your glory into all aspects of my life and to the people around about me.

Lord, please give me the discernment to receive the right spiritual impartation from the specific people that You have sent into my life, and the wisdom to flee, escape, avoid, and refuse any wrong impartation from the servants of Satan. Please teach me to recognize all false servants from afar, even at the sound of their voices. Please protect my ears, my eyes, and my five spiritual senses from the assault of the enemy camp, and surround me with the songs of deliverance, with the presence of Your Holy Spirit, so that even when darkness comes, it shall not come near me.

You have given me the ability to hear the voice of Your Spirit. I will not follow the voice of the stranger, but I will follow You all the rest of my life. Thank You that I can hear Your voice in all my decision making—for my family, for my work, my ministry, investments, business, studies, relationships, marriage, church.  May all I that I do and say pertain to life, be filled with life, release life, and be life-giving. Lord, thank You that I can hear Your voice clearly and sharply like the prophets of old.

Thank You for showing me the crisis of the land rather than letting me become a victim to it. I will become a protector and encourager of those in need. Help me flee from all works of darkness upon the land and economy. Secure my properties and all my possessions by Your Spirit.

Please teach me how to live in peace and harmony with all people to bring about Your will., and how to walk with tenderness, mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Teach me how to forgive every fault and how to walk in love and perfect harmony.

Thank You for teaching me how to:

  • Give and receive counsel perfectly, with all the wisdom of heaven, so that I can be whole in spirit, soul, and body.
  • Receive all Your provisions so that I will have everything that I will ever need.
  • Share all that I have received.
  • Increase the resources that You have provided to produce a great harvest of generosity in my life.
  • Share Your work in my life effectively with the people I love in ways that demonstrate Your mercy, kindness, and goodness.
  • Always walk in Your peace.
