Prayer of Release for Roman Catholics & Their Descendants

I did not write this prayer. Coming from a generationally Catholic family and having attended 10 years of parochial school; I found this Prayer of Release brought much needed freedom to my life. Often, it's difficult to clearly ascertain why we struggle with certain bondages. The practices of the Catholic Church are contrary to many doctrines of the Bible. Prior to my salvation, I participated in many of their practices which unknowlingly opened doors to the demonic which needed to be specifically addressed. For those of you who would like to read an excellent articles on The Roman Catholic Religion vs. Bible Christianity, here is an exellent article written by Richard Beaulac, in which he addressed 27 specific false doctrines with corresponding Bible verses. Here is that PDF:

This was written by Diane Hawkins: Her website is https://www.rcm-usa.org/index.html Note from Diane Hawkins: I have somewhat modified this prayer to coincide with my perspectives for doing effective spiritual warfare without evoking retaliation and the breaking of generational inheritances and soul ties (ungodly relationship bonds). I have also made minor changes in punctuation and spelling. For Selwyn Stephen’s original prayer, see the link given above.

If you were once a member of the Roman Catholic Church or are a descendant of someone who was, we recommend that you pray through this prayer from your heart. Please read it through first so you know what is involved. It is best to pray this aloud with a mature Christian present. We suggest a brief pause following each paragraph to allow the Holy Spirit to show any related issues that may require attention.

“Father God, Creator of heaven and earth, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son. I come as a sinner seeking forgiveness and cleansing from all my sins committed against You and others made in Your image. I honor my earthly father and mother and all of my ancestors of flesh and blood and of the spirit by adoption and godparents, but I utterly turn away from and renounce all of their sins. I forgive all my ancestors for the effects of their sins and iniquities on my children and me. I confess and renounce all of my own sins, known or unknown, and I accept personally the sacrifice that Jesus gave Himself for me on Calvary. I renounce Satan and every spiritual power of his affecting me and my family, in the name of Jesus Christ.

True Holy Creator God, in the name of the True Lord Jesus Christ, I request You to separate from me all evil beings from the lowest demonic level to the highest cosmic level, including all ungodly principalities, powers, rulers, forces, and lights, and to forbid them from harassing, intimidating, or retaliating in any way against me and all participants in this ministry today, including our families, our ministries, and our possessions.

I renounce and ask You, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and through the power of His shed blood, to annul every covenant made with Death by my ancestors or any part of myself, including every agreement made with Sheol and the refuge of lies and falsehoods that they have hidden behind. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I renounce and forsake all ungodly involvement in Roman Catholicism by my ancestors and myself. I renounce every covenant, every blood covenant, and every alliance with Roman Catholicism or the spiritual powers behind it made by my ancestral lines or myself. I also renounce and repent of all permission I have ever granted, or that was granted by my parents or previous generations without my awareness or consent, to be deceived.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself every form of ungodly authority and all ungodly power associated with the Roman Catholic Church and for our submitting to it. I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of all loyalty towards the Roman Catholic Church and its Popes, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and Priests when that loyalty and obedience should have been to Jesus Christ. I also renounce and repent on behalf of my generational lines and myself all impartations received through any laying on of hands, including that performed by any false priesthood, and all religious deception. I especially renounce and reject on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself the false teaching and belief in the infallibility of the pope because only God is true, and every man is a liar, according to Romans 3 verse 4.

I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for our silence and ignorance about the Roman Catholic Church’s historical use of terror, bloodshed, torture, lies, coercion, deception, sexual immorality, fraud, control and manipulation, either directly or through the various Orders of the Church. Please heal me from any of these things that have been done to me or that were done to others with my awareness or consent. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for believing in a church that has kept people from understanding the Holy Bible, when it has the true Words of Life. I humbly request to be exempted from the punishment for adding to or deducting from God’s Word, as recorded in Revelation 22 verses 18 & 19. Please help me understand Your Word, the Holy Bible, and to trust it and apply it to my life in a way that will bring glory to Your name and benefit for my spiritual growth and maturity.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself the pagan syncretism taught alongside true Biblical teaching by the Roman Catholic Church. On behalf of my ancestral lines and myself, I reject and repent of all pagan beliefs and practices and ask to be set free from all such pagan influences in my mind, my will, my emotions, my heart, my conscience, my imagination, and my habits. I choose to forgive everyone who has taught me false doctrine and ungodly religious practices, including the so-called “Sacrifice of the Mass.” I also renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of calling on the spirits of the dead to protect us that occurs at every mass. In repenting for all of these, I also choose to forgive myself for my active participation or acquiescent acceptance of all such beliefs and practices, in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask for mercy on all who taught me false doctrines and practices and the conviction of the Holy Spirit of the error of their ways and that they would discover the truth and teach that instead, in Jesus’ name.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of every form of idolatry, including the idolatry of Holy Mother Church, and any false worship and spiritual adultery we indulged in, even in our ignorance that Your Word forbids such practices in Exodus 20 verse 5 and elsewhere. I choose to worship The True Creator God, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Please teach me how to worship You in spirit and in truth.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of every devotion, veneration, worship, and idolatry of the Virgin Mary. I recognize and accept that Mary, otherwise known as Miriam by her Hebrew name, was a good woman chosen by God the Father to bear and bring up the Lord Jesus Christ with her husband, Joseph, but that she recognized that she was a sinner needing to make a sacrifice for her personal sins, as confirmed by Luke 2:22-24, and as was the Scripture based custom of her day. I also renounce and reject on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself the falsely claimed Co-Mediatrix and Intercessory roles of Mary – the mother of Jesus – the Immaculate Conception of Mary, her Perpetual Virginity (despite having at least six other named children), and her Bodily Assumption into Heaven; all of which have no Biblical basis whatever, but are the doctrines of men imposed on Bible deprived members.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of the belief in the post-death apparitions of Mary, such as the Lady of Lourdes, the Lady of Fatima, the Lady of Guadeloupe, and the Lady of Medjugorje. I reject all instructions received from these and all other similar apparitions because too many of those instructions were contrary to the revealed Word of God, thereby proving the spiritism involved in these. I also renounce and reject on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself the other titles, including the Queen of Heaven, the Lady of Mercedes, the Lady of the Snows, the Queen of Martyrs, the Queen of Peace, and Mary, Star of the Seas, the Black Madonna of Jazna-Gora, and any other titles attributed to her.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for praying to dead people and the necromancy and spiritism that involved, when the Holy Bible in Deuteronomy 18 verse 11 and elsewhere forbids that practice. I ask Your forgiveness for our ignorance of Your clear instructions forbidding this, Heavenly Father. I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for all belief that dead people can answer my prayers. Please help me learn how to pray in a way that is acceptable to You.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of all dedication of our lives to dead saints, including Mary, and also any dedication to any organization, including the Roman Catholic Church. In cancelling that now, I choose to dedicate my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Living God and to the purposes of His Kingdom.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for asking any dead saint to pray for us, since this practice is also forbidden in the Bible. I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for every honor we ever performed to any dead saint where such honor was inconsistent with the Bible and God’s revealed will. I ask to be set free from all confusion that praying to dead saints has caused, and the spiritism this involved, and I request the removal of all harmful influence they have had over my life.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself all trust placed in dedicated objects, including medals, scapulars, statues, sacred heart posters and paintings, the rosary beads, holy water, votive candles, sacred relics, and any kissing or bowing to any alleged sacred object or novenas. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of all trust in any “sacrament” that does not have a solid Biblical basis, including infant baptism, confirmation, first communion or Eucharist, confession, penance and extreme unction.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce all beliefs that are contrary to Your revealed Word and will, and I ask for You to renew my mind and my heart, and to help me recognize all false teaching and beliefs when I hear or see them. Please protect me from all spiritual deception, regardless of its source, in Jesus’ name. I also repent for trusting in rituals and objects and attributing power to them, instead of trusting Your love for me and relying on Your power, Your love, and Your faithfulness.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of the shameless use of indulgences to obtain money by fraud from members of the Roman Catholic Church by priests with false and unsubstantiated promises of quicker release from the imaginary place of the dead called Purgatory or of the falsely promised cancellation of sins. Lord Jesus, I choose and seek Your assistance by Your Holy Spirit for righteous behavior and motives whenever I deal with issues of money and property.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of every form of sexual immorality, perversion, pedophilia, seduction, rape, the killing of babies, and the hypocrisy involved in the Roman Catholic Church by priests and members of other orders over their church members and all others that has been allowed for hundreds of years. I also renounce and reject on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself the enforced celibacy of clergy, priests, and nuns, as that is not a requirement for ministry to Jesus Christ in the Holy Bible. I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of every sexual sin that we have committed by thought, word, imagination, or deed, in Jesus’ name. Holy Spirit, please help me to resist every form of sexual sin and give me a pure heart I so may bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ by my conduct.

Lord God, I thank you for freedom of conscience. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of serving a church that required people to fast through legalism, and that killed people for eating meat during Lent. I reject the coercion of the Roman Catholic priests to live under such legalism.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself for every instance where we tried to violate the free will of others.

I thank You, Heavenly Father, for the ability to discern the difference between the truth of Your revealed will through the Holy Bible and the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church where these differ from your Word. In any way I cannot see these differences, please enable me to recognize all error and false teaching. I especially renounce and repent on behalf of my ancestral lines and myself of ever believing the anti-Biblical teachings of transubstantiation, purgatory, and that my salvation may only be obtained by being baptized into membership of the Roman Catholic Church as an infant. In rejecting these false teachings, I choose to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did for me on the Cross of Calvary, in His birth, death and resurrection, and ask to have my name recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 21:27).

Heavenly Father and true Holy Creator God, I thank You for helping me live in the freedom that Christ died for me and that is provided by your Holy Spirit. Help me to grow into a strong, mature, and fruitful follower of Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your goodness, faithfulness, mercy, and love towards me. Teach me your ways that I may walk strongly on Your paths designed by You for me to walk. Be glorified through my life and show Your love and character through me that others may see Jesus in me.

I ask, Heavenly Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you will put all curses that came to me and to my descendants going forward a thousand generations under the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and that you will remove from me all evil beings from the lowest demonic level to the highest cosmic level that gained access to me and my descendants because of these generational inheritances and their curses. I ask that You will pass judgment on them, dispatch them to the destinations of your choosing, fill their evacuated places with Your true Holy Spirit, and close and seal with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ the portals and orifices they used for access to us.

I also renounce, and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I ask You, Creator God, to cut off and to dissolve in the blood of Jesus Christ every ungodly soul tie I or my ancestors have created with other Roman Catholics or participants in occultic groups and actions as well as with any dead saints to whom I have prayed or asked to pray for me or to whom I have been dedicated. I ask that You remove from me any ungodly entities that gained access to me through these ungodly soul ties as well as any parts of the souls or spirits of these other people that intermingled with mine and that You return to me, cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, any parts of my soul or spirit that intermingled with theirs, and when this exchange is complete, I ask You to sever the spiritual conduits between us, close, and seal them with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I renounce the entire hierarchy of ungodly spiritual beings associated with Roman Catholicism, spiritism, occultic mysticism, and all other sins and iniquities associated with them.

Holy Creator God, I ask You in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth to set me free from them, including every spirit of sickness, infirmity, curse, affliction, addiction, disease, or allergy, and from all other physical, emotional, and spiritual bondages into which they have put me. I ask that You pass judgment on them and dispatch them to the destinations of Your choosing, filling all evacuated places in me with Your true Holy Spirit, and sealing all portals and orifices that they used for entrance into me with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit, I ask that you show me anything else that I need to do or to pray so that my family and I may be totally free from the consequences of the sins of Roman Catholicism, Witchcraft, Spiritism, and all related Paganism and Occultism.

(Pause, while listening to God, and pray as the Holy Spirit leads you.)

Now, dear Father God, I ask humbly for the blood of Jesus Christ, your Son and my Savior, to cleanse me from all these sins I have confessed and renounced, to cleanse my spirit, my soul, my mind, my emotions, and every part of my body which has been affected by these sins, in the name of Jesus Christ. I also ask that You command every cell in my body to come into Your divine order and to be healed and made whole according to Your original design for me, including restoring all chemical imbalances and neurological functions, controlling all cancerous cells, reversing all degenerative diseases, and severing from my DNA and RNA any mental or physical diseases or afflictions that came down through my family blood lines through these iniquities that I have confessed before You.

I also ask to receive the perfect love of God that casts out all fear, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask you, Lord, to fill me with your Holy Spirit now according to the promises in your Word. I take to myself the whole armor of God in accordance with Ephesians Chapter Six, and rejoice in its protection as Jesus surrounds me and fills me with His Holy Spirit. I enthrone you, Lord Jesus, in my heart, for You are my Lord and my Savior, the source of eternal life. Thank you, Father God, for Your mercy, Your forgiveness and Your love, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
