"If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blight, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be, what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man or by all Thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart and spread forth his hands toward this house--then hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart Thou knowest..." then hear Thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

On the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria.

Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not Thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me and hear me; I mourn in my complaint and moan, because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

Psalm 102:1-3

LORD, I cry unto Thee! Make haste unto me! Give ear unto my voice when I cry unto Thee. Let my prayer be set before Thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties. Let the righteous smite me: it shall be a kindness. And let him reprove me: it shall be as an excellent oil, which shall not break my head; for yet my prayer shall be with them in their calamities. When their judges are overthrown onto stony places, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Psalm 141:1-6

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight. The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD, but He loveth him that followeth after righteousness...

"Holy Spirit, I ask that You show me anything else which I need to do or to pray so that I and my family may be totally free from the consequences of the sins of Masonry, Witchcraft, Mormonism and Paganism." (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, 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 Jesus' name!

I renounce every evil spirit associated with Masonry and witchcraft and all other sins, and I command in the name of Jesus Christ for Satan and every evil spirit to be bound and to leave me now, touching or harming no-one, and go to the place appointed for you by the Lord Jesus, never to return to me or my family. I call on the name of the Lord Jesus to be delivered of these spirits, in accordance with the many promises of the Bible. I ask to be delivered of every spirit of sickness, infirmity, curse, affliction, addiction, disease or allergy associated with these sins I have confessed and renounced.

I surrender to God's Holy Spirit and to no other spirit all the places in my life where these sins have been. I ask You, Lord, to baptise me in your Holy Spirit now according to the promises in Your Word. I take to myself the whole armour 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 Saviour, the source of eternal life. Thank You, Father God, for Your mercy, your forgiveness and Your love, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen." *

I RENOUNCE the teaching of Freemasonry that. . . I ANNOUNCE and accept the Truth from Scripture that. . .
Its Deity, the "Great Architect of the Universe," can be worshipped by all men, whether they be Buddhists, Christian, Muslims, or Hindus, without controversy. Only through Jesus Christ can God be worshipped (John 14:6; I Timothy 2:5; I John 2:22-23).
Refuses to acknowledge the unique Godhood of Jesus Christ or that He died for our sins and rose from the dead. Jesus Christ is truly God Almighty who came in the flesh, died for our sins and rose from the dead (John 1:1-14; Colossians 2:9; I Corinthians 15:4).
Denies the unique and inerrant character of the Holy Bible as the Word of God by saying that it is no different than any other holy book. The Bible is truly the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; Matthew 5:18; I Peter 1:25; Psalm 119:89; 12:6-7; 19:7-8)
Declares that man can be saved by his own labors without faith in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. A person can be saved only by grace, through faith in Christ (Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8-9).
Blasphemes the name of God by associating it with pagan fertility gods such as Baal. Affirms the absolute holiness, separateness, and majesty of God's name (Exodus 20:2-7; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Psalm 8:1, 29:2).
Requires that men swear oaths on a Bible in the name of God involving mutilation and murder of human beings. Forbids the taking of oaths, taking God's name in vain and committing murder (Matthew 5:34-37; James 5:12; Exodus 20:7, 13).
Links its members in solemn, spiritual bondage to one another, irrespective of members' religious beliefs. That forbids me from being unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14-17; Revelation 18:1-4).
Insists on keeping its supposedly valuable truths bound under the most serious of secret oaths and available only to a very few. Does not allow for such secrecy (Matthew 10:26-27; John 18:20; Acts 26:26).
Demands that its members call its leaders titles like "Worshipful Master," and kneel before them. Commands me to call no one as master except Jesus and to worship no one except God (Matthew 6:24; 23:8-10; Acts 10:25-26; Revelation 22:8-9).

Therefore, I_________________, as a humble servant of Jesus Christ take a firm stand against the cult of Freemasonry. In the name and by the authority of my Lord Jesus Christ, I break and renounce any vows, oaths, covenants and curses that I have made or others have made for me and my family. I hear and now choose the Living God to love and serve. (I Kings 18:21)
