Holy Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I ask for Your forgiveness of all my sins, iniquities and transgressions. I repent for every area where I have come into agreement with the voice of the stranger and caused harm to myself or anyone else. I break every emotional attachment with people, places and things that would prevent me from receiving the truth and walking in the truth. I forgive everyone that has used me, abused me and caused offense, rejection, bitterness or regret, and I commit them into Your hands. I loose myself from the traditions of men, false doctrines, false beliefs and doubt, all in the name of Jesus.
I received Jesus as my Savior and now desire to receive the Holy Spirit to empower me as a witness of the kingdom of God with signs and wonders. I believe and receive by faith, according to Your word, that this is a promise to me. I ask right now, in the name of Jesus, to be filled and baptized in the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit to manifest in my life starting with the new language of tongues. Please remove anything from me that would hinder the Holy Spirit baptism, because I believe and receive the fullness of the price You paid on the cross for this gift, in Jesus’ name.
I want to thank You, Father, for the gift of the Holy Spirit baptism. Please keep me filled daily and teach me to walk in the Spirit with obedience and humility. To You be all the glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
