The Spirit of Despair
Tana (Sandy; She will torment you):
Desperate Spirit
Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel. (Proverbs 20:17)
The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed. (Deuteronomy 28:24)
He has also broken my teeth with gravel, and covered me with ashes. (Lamentations 3:16)
Dust replaces delicious food and sweet rain, making people's expectations dashed and shattered. This spirit takes away people's faith and hope, filling them with gloomy and negative thoughts, and eventually leading to suicide.
Concept:
The spirit of despair is usually caused by the surrounding environment. It is an extreme emotion that occurs when people reach the peak of disappointment. The spirit of despair will make people completely lose confidence in something, an individual, or a group. Despair is a kind of negative emotion of human beings.
Often the spirit of despair will seep into a person's emotions and feelings. When life, career or love suffers a major blow and there is no way to start over, the spirit of despair will bring the individual into a state of loss of hope, extreme desire and no response.
It manifests as:
1. Despair usually manifests itself in divorce, death of the only relative, estrangement from friends and family, unemployment, bankruptcy, academic failure, bullying, terminal illness, etc.
2. Desperate people will have a variety of reactions, such as crying, fear, suffering from mental illness, attempting suicide, or severing ties with society, losing interest in things, being less talkative or cold, etc.
3. There will also be physical manifestations, such as stress responses such as changes in heart rate, increased blood pressure, night sweats, tremors, etc. Sometimes even strong physiological reactions such as cardiac arrest, shock, and even death may occur.
Causes of despair:
- The patient has suffered severe setbacks or trauma in childhood, which has left a psychological shadow on the patient.
- Some brain lesions.
- The adverse effects of the environment and people around the patient.
- Lack of meaning in life, hope is based on unreliable support, and people become desperate when the support changes, such as politics, economy, society, law, career, body and interpersonal relationships.
No matter what circumstances we are in, we ask God to use His words to become a reliable foundation in our lives. Even though there are hardships in life, we firmly believe that God, who gives life and controls life, will surely lead and protect us and guide the path of our lives.
My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. (Psalm 62:5-6)

Confession and Repentance:
Please forgive me for often falling into jealousy, bitterness, disputes, complaints, unforgiveness, self-abasement and self-pity, feeling lonely, helpless, weak, fearful, worried, anxious and sad. Please forgive me for feeling hopeless and feeling that life has no meaning and that living is meaningless, and that I might as well just die. Lord, please forgive me and bear my weaknesses. This is not what I want.
Lord, I cannot control my thoughts and ideas, and I have not managed my emotions. When negative thoughts come in, I let them ferment and tear inside me. Forgive me for giving the sovereignty of my thoughts to the enemy, so that the enemy has a loophole to get in and do destructive work inside me; forgive me for allowing these negative thoughts and emotions to devour my life, and for allowing wrong thoughts to stay and harm me. Lord, please cleanse my mind. You are the Lord of my thoughts. Please control my thoughts and pull out everything that is not planted by You.
I ask the Lord to forgive me for often relying on myself, on my blood, on my old self, on the desires of the flesh, and on the teachings of the evil one in this world. I respond to what happens with the wrong attitude. In the process of being hurt and despair, I not only accept the devil’s lies, but also turn the devil’s lies into my own inner vows, thereby further cursing myself, hurting myself, imprisoning, suppressing, and closing myself off. I ask the Lord to forgive me.
Forgive me for not valuing myself and not loving myself. You value us so much and see us as treasures. We were created by You in Your image. If I despise myself, do not value myself, and do not respect myself, it is the same as not respecting God. Rejecting myself is the same as rejecting God. Lord, forgive me!
I ask the Lord to forgive me for often losing hope and enthusiasm when things don’t go my way and when things are difficult. I always choose to avoid problems, fear taking responsibility, and lose faith in myself and in God.
Forgive me for calling you Lord, Lord, but not receiving you into my heart. You said, these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me (see: Matthew 15:8). Lord, forgive me for not treating God as my savior when things happen, and always want to solve them by my own ability, by the people around me, by the world, and by resources. It is not by relying on power, not by relying on talent, but by relying on Jehovah to accomplish things (see: Zechariah 4:6). When I couldn't solve the problem, I seemed to have called on the Lord for help, but there was no response, so there was no need to bother; God, you see me like this, forgive my ignorance and foolishness.
Forgive me for my indifference towards people and things due to the sense of oppression, forgive me for setting up a protective mechanism for myself, closing myself off and blocking myself.
Healing and deliverance:
A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth. (Isaiah 42:3)
Please fill my heart with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, You know my inner emotions and feelings. Holy Spirit, come and touch the depths of my heart. I want to open up to You and release me from this oppressive darkness, and release layer by layer of despair inside me.
Lord, take me to the thing, person, and time that oppressed me the most, and release me from that terrible experience that I could not bear; Lord, I can't bear it, I really can't bear such pressure, such hurt, and such fear. Lord, my whole being and my spirit are about to collapse.
Lord, you are our God who knows everything. You also know the despair and pain in my heart. I was powerless, powerless to resist, powerless to bear it. I could only close my heart and emotions and wanted to lock myself in it.
Lord Holy Spirit, please take me back to that time and space, when that fragmentation took place. I will tell you about some of the things I remember now and the strong feelings and emotions that have arisen in me, because you are the God who knows me.
Lord, please do not let me hide my heart, emotions and feelings from you. I told you how I felt at that time. I met (someone), (something), what happened, and what my emotions and feelings were at that time; I was angry, anxious, afraid, and nervous. Lord, you know how I felt at that time, and you also understand my heart and emotions. (Say it in detail)
Lord, I choose to forgive them, forgive those who have hurt me, forgive those who have tortured me, just like you, Lord, you gave your life and shed your blood for us on the cross. We felt like the sky was about to fall down in the environment at that time, because no one knew how I felt at that time, I felt like I was going to collapse. At that time, heaven and earth were shaking, the sun and the moon were dim, I bowed my head and was speechless to everyone, and my heart was bleeding.
Lord, you were willing to hang on the cross for my sins, for the sins of others, for the sins of my parents, and for the sins of my ancestors, in order to free us from death and curse. Lord, at that time everyone forsook you, even God the Father forsaken you and turned away from you.
Lord, You are powerful, and You are not only sinless. If You wish, You can even send twelve legions of angels to destroy those who hurt You. You can send them to save You from this punishment of suffering and death. You can even bind them with just one word, because You are God.
In order to heal and release us, and to save us, You willingly nailed us to the cross and bore all these curses. Because people are cursed when they are hung on a tree. In order to bear our curse, You gave up Your power, Your authority, and the power to send angels to help. We are completely unable to resist such disasters and harm. We are not willing to bear them because we have no power. Not only can we not resist, we can't even escape, let alone bear it.
Lord, this is a world of difference. You are powerful, but you are willing to give up yourself for us and endure all kinds of punishment and humiliation that we cannot endure. We have not paraded through the streets with crowns of thorns on our heads, we have not paraded through the streets with crosses on our backs, we have not been whipped like that, we have not been punished like that. Our hands do not have holes in the marks of nails, and even needles have not pierced our hands. However, you sympathize with all our weaknesses, and you are willing to accept us according to our true nature.
Lord, your precious blood heals me and cleanses my wounds. Your precious blood was shed for me. You are the King of glory, but you bear all my sins, transgressions, and curses, allowing me to come before God the Father at any time and anywhere. Because of the precious blood of the Lamb, I can come before the throne of grace of God the Father with confidence and without fear.
Cut off and break:
In the name of Jesus, I rebuke the spirit of depression, oppression, despair, and death to leave me. The spirit of jealousy to leave me, the spirit of loneliness to leave me, the spirit of despair to leave me, the spirit of inferiority and self-pity to leave me, the spirit of oppression to leave me, the spirit of imprisonment to leave me, and the spirit of numbness to leave me.
Lord, I give all my hatred, anxiety, restlessness, bitterness, complaints, disputes, unforgiveness, despair, discouragement, depression, numbness, hardness, indifference, fear, worry, loneliness, depression and other negative emotions into your hands. Please bear all of these for me. In the name of the Lord, I renounce all hatred, jealousy, unforgiveness, anxiety, depression, oppression, confusion, irritability, restlessness, fear, worry, sadness, discouragement, and depression. In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce them all.
In the name of the Lord, I renounce this spirit of depression and death and ask it to leave me and go to the feet of the Lord Jesus to be his footstool.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I resist thoughts of exhaustion, weakness, and giving up. I resist the overwhelming confusion that strikes my soul. I resist feelings of self-pity and being misunderstood. I resist feelings of being overwhelmed. I resist the temptation to let my emotions control me. I resist sickness, pain, and suffering. I resist disappointment and depression. I resist attacks on my identity and the enemy's suggestions that I should give up. I resist the bait of offense, and in the name of the Lord, I stand firm against them.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that I will take back the authority that binds my thoughts, distorts my thoughts, and controls all forms of thoughts. My thoughts and will shall be in Jesus Christ. I ask the Lord to sanctify my memory and imagination.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that the connection between me and God is no longer blocked, but will be unblocked. All blocked revelations, healing, deliverance, covenants, peace, joy, and blessings will be opened up one by one in the alignment between me and God. The spiritual channels and channels in the sky will be completely realigned and connected between me and God.
I declare in the name of Jesus Christ that the Lord gives me the tongue of a learner every morning, reminds my ears so that I can hear like a learner, and opens my ears so that I can be like Isaiah, never disobeying or retreating throughout my life (see Isaiah 50:4-5).
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that You have turned mourning into dancing, stripped off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy (see Psalm 30:11). I must take off the old man and put on the new man, and I must put on the armor and stand ready to fight the good fight (see Ephesians 6:11).
I ask the Lord's precious blood to cleanse me. In the name of the Lord, I cut off all spirits of jealousy, bitterness, sorrow, sadness, fear, timidity, discouragement, indifference, despair, depression, oppression, loneliness, pain, death, and all spirits of oppression. May all these sorrows and burdens in my heart leave me and fall off completely.
In the name of Jesus, cut off the bronze doors and iron bolts of the depressed spirit, open the prison, and release our imprisoned spirits, release them by the Spirit of freedom, and release them by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In the name of Jesus, I renounce, cut off, and break the wrong reactions and attitudes towards people, things, and objects in my life, the wrong thoughts and ideas, the evil desires of the old self and the old flesh; cut off and break the self-centeredness and responses that are not in line with God's will. I declare that I have completely broken it, and I entrust it to the hands of the Lord, and completely disconnect it from my life, emotions, thoughts, and behavior patterns, and completely pull it out. I also draw on the precious blood of the Lord Jesus to break all the inner vows that I can and cannot remember, which accept the lies of the devil, and bring them before you, Lord, to be covered and washed with your precious blood. The cross stands in the middle, sanctifying me in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord for what you have actually done for me. You have truly borne my griefs and carried my pains. Because of the chastisement you suffered I have peace, and by your wounds I am healed (see Isaiah 53:5). Thank you Lord for caring for me and for bearing all the emotional hurt, pressure, pain and sorrow for me, and for bearing the punishment that we should have borne.
Declare Prayer of Blessing:
In the name of Jesus Christ I declare:
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
In the name of the Lord, I declare that I am a new person. That breathless, lifeless and dying life no longer exists. My new life has been resurrected with the Lord. All that is dry and dead within me will be ignited and completely alive in Christ. I ask the Lord to renew and change me, so that I can overcome all these weak and sinful thoughts and ideas by relying on the Lord.
Praise the Lord! You are Jehovah Rapha, You are Jehovah Shalom, thank you for giving your peace and healing into my heart; thank you for your kindness, faithfulness, and righteousness; Holy Spirit, I thank you for using your holy Spirit, righteous Spirit, comforting Spirit, healing Spirit, Spirit of truth and freedom, and the power of your Spirit to set the wounded and oppressed free; I will replace ashes with a crown of beauty, replace mourning with the oil of joy, and replace the spirit of heaviness with a garment of praise (see: Isaiah 61:3), Hallelujah!
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that I will use my grateful heart and emotions to experience all the goodness of the Lord. I will spread His virtues every day, spread Your salvation every day, speak of Your love every day, and rejoice in Your salvation every day. Because who can praise You in Hades? Who can spread Your virtues in the land of death?
Lord, thank and praise You for all the difficulties of these people, things, and objects. Without these, I would only have heard of You. Only after experiencing these painful despairs did I know that I did not rely on myself to get to where I am today, but that You, Abba, protected me in secret. You will not leave us as orphans (see: John 14:18), nor will You let our souls see corruption. You just let us know You better, know Your love and faithfulness, know Your holiness and righteousness.
I also ask the Holy Spirit to tell me what lessons I need to learn from all these circumstances and sufferings, so that I do not suffer in vain. Help me to adjust myself and become a wise person. I will no longer follow the evil desires of the flesh, but will be able to be considerate of the Holy Spirit. Help me to adjust myself, learn from the Lord's example, follow the will of the Heavenly Father, and walk humbly with the Lord. Let me have more of the Lord's life, and make me perfect, just like our Heavenly Father.
Because of Your love, and because of Your forgiveness and pardon on us, we are willing to forgive these people’s debts. We give all these people, things, circumstances, and pressures to the Lord, and ask You to personally bless these people, these things, and these circumstances. We ask You to personally take control over these people, things, and circumstances. Lord, this is our prayer and request, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that I will receive more and more of the power of love from the Lord. Only the love of the Lord can satisfy me. I will turn to you with all my heart. Lord, you are my dearest Lord. If you lead the way before me, I will never get lost again. Please accept my entire life and use me to fulfill the will of Your Heavenly Father.
Thank you for freeing us from depression, melancholy, frustration, death, sorrow, and prison, and for freeing us who have been slaves to the fear of death all our lives to become your children and the great army of the Lord.
Lord, I want to thank You and praise You. I dedicate myself to You to become a noble and holy vessel, fit for Your use.
Lord Jesus, You are the source of my joy. My heart rejoices only because of You and because You rule over me. I will not worry. I will joyfully accept everything You have arranged for us. I believe that these are all the best for me and are beneficial to me. Your will is peaceful and lovely.
