Most of the time, we forget that we are under a chain or bondage. Since it has been there for so long, we get used to it or live in compromise, I would say. Jesus came to set us free. In John 8:36, Jesus says, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” There is a freedom already promised, and it is our rightful position to take it.

We address this and can pray as modeled here:

Bondages Breaking Prayer

This battle is not against flesh and blood, and we have spiritual weapons that set captives free. By your Holy Spirit, break every yoke of bondage in our life.

Grant conviction of sin with godly sorrow to repentance and deliverance from captivity. Set us completely free. It is written; you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. We were overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the blood of Christ Jesus.

Father, we come boldly to your throne of grace and find mercy and grace to help in a time of need. Grant release from bondage to strongholds of the enemy. We plead the blood of Jesus to cancel all commands of the powers of darkness in my life. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

We have the heavenly intercession of the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Father, focus the intercession of the Spirit on. Answer these prayers according to your perfect will. Most High God, contend with those who contend with. Rebuke the enemy in all his operations. Dispatch mighty warriors to do battle on our behalf.

Send your light, your truth, and lead me. Remove all spiritual blindness, deafness, and hardness of heart. Grant eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that seeks you. I plead your mercy and grace over all our personal sin, failure, and family iniquities. Break through and heal our wounded spirit. Bind a hedge of thorns around that will repel all the works of darkness in our life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
