5/28/23 – Powerlessness is a Lie – Pentacost Sunday

What is the Holy Spirit's plan for you? What is Satan's plan for you? In the name of Jesus Christ I renounce the lie that if I trust I will be hurt, disappointed, or die. In the name of Jesus, I renounce all fear, anxiety, mistrust, and distrust. I renounce the lie that I am not safe and not protected, and I announce the truth that God is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, and my protector. I announce the truth that God's perfect love casts out all fear. I am safe and secure. In the name of Jesus Christ I renounce the lie that I am powerless, weak, unable to change, not capable, that I am stuck, trapped, that I don't know what to do. In Jesus name, I announce the truth that Jesus promised that his grace is perfected in my weakness, so that when I am weak, then I am strong. I announce the truth that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I announce the truth that where the Holy Spirit is, there is freedom. Therefore I accept the truth that I am empowered by Christ and liberated by the Holy Spirit. I announce the truth that through confirmation I am anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit who lives and dwells in me. Thanks for listening to the podcast. Watch Fr.
