A P ERSONAL D ECLARATION OF D ELIVERANCE
    “Father, as I approach Your throne now with my declaration, Your Word says, ‘Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need’ (Hebrews 4:16). As I come to boldly confess, I realize that Jesus is the High Priest of my confession (see Hebrews 3:1). You said, ‘Take words with you, and return to the L ORD ’ (Hosea 14:2).
    “Father, I come to Your throne in the face of all the doubt… in the face of all the assaults of the enemy… in the face of all the forces of darkness… to boldly confess Your Word!
    “Lord, I know that You listen to me when I pray and speak to You according to Your Word. The Word of God says that if we ask anything according to Your will (Your Word), You hear us. And if You hear us, we know we have the petitions we ask of You (see 1 John 5:14–15).

In the kingdom of darkness, Satan is lord, and there is misery, doubt, unforgiveness of sins, sickness, oppression, deep depression, and mental anguish. There are demonic forces that harass and vex the members of that kingdom. When I was lost, ‘[I] once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience’ (Ephesians 2:2). I walked in that darkness and was so unhappy. I did not have the joy of the Lord or eternal life.
    “But, Father, I thank You that one day the Lord Jesus became my Lord and my Savior and called me into fellowship with Him. By Your grace and mercy, You revealed Jesus to me, and I made Him my Lord. When I made Jesus my Lord, I was delivered from the powers of darkness and translated into the kingdom of Your dear Son!
    “Father, I want to remind You that I have been delivered! I want to remind the Lord Jesus Christ and the holy angels of God! Satan, I remind you and all the
