Steps to Freedom in Christ

By Neil Anderson

It is my deep conviction that the finished work of Jesus Christ and the presence of God in our lives are the only means by which we can resolve our personal and spiritual conflicts. Christ in us is our only hope (Colossians 1:27), and He alone can meet our deepest needs of life: acceptance, identity, security and significance.

The Steps to Freedom in Christ do not set you free. Who sets you free is Christ, and what sets you free is your response to Him in repentance and faith. These steps are just a tool to help you submit to God and resist the devil (James 4:7).

You May Need Help

Ideally, it would be best if everyone had a trusted friend, pastor or counselor who would help them go through this process because it is just applying the wisdom of James 5:16: “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

Another person can prayerfully support you by providing objective counsel.

You Must Choose

Your freedom will be the result of what you choose to believe, confess, forgive, renounce and forsake. No one can do that for you.

So we can submit to God inwardly but we need to resist the devil by reading aloud each prayer and by verbally renouncing, forgiving, confessing, etc.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, we acknowledge Your presence in this room and in our lives. You are the only all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present God. We are dependent upon you, for apart from You we can do nothing. We stand in the truth that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to the resurrected Christ, and because we are in Christ, we share that authority in order to make disciples and set captives free. We ask You to guide us with Your Holy Spirit, protect us from deception and lead us into all truth. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Declaration

In the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, I/ we command Satan and all evil spirits to release __________ in order that __________ can be free to know and choose to do the will of God. As children of God seated with Christ in the spirit realm, we agree that every enemy of the Lord Jesus Christ be bound to silence. We say to Satan and all your evil workers that you cannot inflict any pain or in any way prevent God’s will from being accomplished in _____________ life.

Before going through the Steps to Freedom, review the events of your life to discern specific areas that might have become pathways for demonic attachment and may need to be addressed.
