American Indian Prayer of Release

 

Father God, Creator of heaven and earth, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. I come seeking forgiveness and cleansing from all sins I 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 their sins. I forgive all my ancestors for the effects of their sins on my children and me. I confess and renounce all of my own sins. I renounce and rebuke Satan and every spiritual power of his affecting my family and me.

 

Father God, I come before you on behalf of my family line and myself in regard to all of the following issues.

 

I confess the sins of and renounce all evil acts committed by my Native American ancestors who:

 

  •  Worshiped other gods, instead of worshiping the Uncreated One, Jesus Christ

 

  •  Revered or worshiped the buffalo or any other animal

 

  •  Believed in or worshiped the great white buffalo

 

  •  Revered or worshiped the land

 

  •  Believed in, revered, and worshiped the earth as ‘Mother Earth’

 

  •  Worshiped the earth as ‘Mother’ or worshiped the ‘Earth Mother’ by any of the names by which she is known in the various Native American languages of the First Peoples of the Americas

 

  •  Worshiped any spirit being known as Mother Earth.

 

Father God, as it states in Genesis 1:26 - 28, I acknowledge that the righteous authority over birds, animals, weather, or any other part of creation that has manifested in myself, my family lines and my descendants is not satanic, demonic, or occult in nature but is a normal manifestation of the command given to Adam and Eve to take dominion and subdue the earth. I confess the sins of all my ancestors who gained this authority illegally through illegitimate occult means.

 

Father God, this land is the place that You gave the Native Americans to live. I choose from my heart to forgive all the early settlers who came to this land and claimed it as their own. I declare that the land belongs to You, and I agree with Your Word, “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it,” as it states is Psalm 24:1. As a rightful steward of this land, I forgive the early settlers, their families and their descendants for the injustices and oppression that their claims to ownership have produced among my Native American ancestors, brothers, and sisters.

 

I choose from my heart to forgive all those who rejected the offer of brotherhood, but took on the role of father to my ancestors; the result of this mindset being that my ancestors were forced to give up their rich culture, heritage, and way of life. I choose from my heart to forgive all those who called all our ways ‘evil’, and forced us to embrace and adopt their mindset, worldview, way of life, cultures and gods. I choose from my heart to forgive all those who required my ancestors and other Native Americans to give up their "sin-stained culture" and adopt the colonizer's own sin-stained cultures.

 

Heavenly Father, I confess the sins of my ancestors and my sins and I ask for Your forgiveness for the bitterroot judgments against those settlers who did not embrace us as brothers, and demanded that we give up our culture and way of life, which brought curses onto our family lines. In the name of Jesus, I break all of the resulting curses over us now.

 

Heavenly Father, I forgive those who forced us to reject those things You ordained for us from the foundation of the world. I forgive the early settlers and their descendants for misrepresenting Jesus to us. I forgive those who rejected our relationship with You and our expression of worship to You as being pagan, and therefore illegitimate at best, and ultimately satanic.

 

I confess the sins of my ancestors and my sin of invoking the name of particular ancestors, or ancestors as a whole, for any purpose in ceremonies, for worshiping or revering creation, for worshiping trees or any other plants, for believing that plants or trees had spirits or were spirits, and for worshiping the created thing, instead of worshiping You, the Creator of all things.

 

In the name of Jesus, and by the power of His blood, I break any and all unrighteous ties or connections to “the creation” that were allowed to come upon me and my descendants because of my sin or any of my ancestor's sin of worshiping the creation instead of the Creator.

 

Heavenly Father, I ask You to restore any and all righteous ties or connections between the creation and ourselves that you want us to have. In the name of Jesus, I also break any and all unrighteous and ungodly ties or connections with all of my ancestors.

 

And Father, I ask to strengthen any and all Godly ties with my ancestors that you want me to have with them.

 

I confess and renounce the sins of my ancestors and my sin of believing in, revering, or worshiping any false spirits, knowingly or unknowingly, as being a representation of the true Holy Spirit.

 

I acknowledge and declare that there are and were those in Native American tribes and nations whose reference to The Great Spirit was and is a reference to the Holy Spirit, who is Ruach Ha’Kodesh and no other.

 

I acknowledge and declare that there are and were those whose reference to the Great Spirit may be a reference to an unrighteous spiritual being who is the false Ruach Ha’Kodesh, and I confess the sins of my ancestors, and my sin of worshiping this false representation of the true Ruach Ha’Kodesh.

Lord, I embrace all that You deem to be righteous and holy in our Native American cultures and practices, and reject all that You deem to be unrighteous.

 

Thank You Lord, for creating me as You did with all the combinations of people groups that make up my ancestry. I celebrate the DNA that You wove together as You knitted me within my mother’s womb, and I cherish your statement that I am “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I love, receive and celebrate every part of me that You have created, and I embrace every part of my spirit, soul, body and birthright that was Your divine design.

 

Lord, please help me to express who I am as a manifested son of God in all the fullness of who You created me to be on this earth; spirit, soul, body and birthright.

 

I declare that I will worship You as You have created me to do with the freedom to embrace all that is righteous in my Native American heritage and cultural expression without fear or prejudice. Thank You for making me just the way I am.

 

I receive our beautiful legacy and inheritance in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
