The Priestly Blessing ...
Numbers 6:24-26
“24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The
LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be
gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”

The Priestly Blessing ...
Hebraic Translation
"YHVH will kneel before you presenting gifts, and
He will guard you with a hedge of protection,
YHVH will illuminate the wholeness of His Being
toward you, bringing order, and He will provide
you with love, sustenance, and friendship, YHVH
will lift up the wholeness of His Being and look
upon you, and He will set in place all you need to
be whole and complete."

1
This blessing is (ritually) recited (by the kohanim) during synagogue services during Nesiat Kapayim ("the Raising of the
Hands"), though it is also recited over children on Friday night before the start of the Shabbat meal or as a bedtime blessing.
2
The name YHVH (hwhy) represents God's attributes of love and mercy (~ymix]r:h; tD"m)i , in contradistiction to the name Elohim
(~yhil{a)/ , which represents God's attribute of justice and power as our Creator.
3
hk'r"B. (b'rachah). Jewish tradition considers this both material and spiritual prosperity. Pirkei Avot 3:15 says, "If there is no
flour, there is no Torah," by which is meant that material benefits are intended to help you pursue study of Torah. The first
occurrence of the word "blessing" in the Scriptures pertains to pru urvu (Wbr>W WrP.), "be fruitful and multiply" (Gen. 1:22).
4
rm;v' (shamar): To guard, protect, heed, as in the exercise of diligent care. Only God has the power to secure the conferred
blessing and keep it from turning sour or from fading away.
5
The word for "face" (~ynIP') is plural with the 3rd person singular ending. It is considered metaphorical since God is
incorporeal. The plural form is thought by some to indicate God's revealed and hidden attributes in creation.
6
The hiphil verb (raey") comes from the word "light" (rAa), and is thought to refer to God's wisdom. "May God enlighten you"
with His wisdom, i.e., the Divine Light that preceded the work of creation (Gen. 1:3).
7
May God grant you grace or favor (!xe), i.e., to understand the "breadth and length and height and depth" of God's love (Eph.
3:18). Grace refers to the bestowal of an undeserved gift. The blessing is bestowed even though unearned or unmerited.
8
Since one's face is an indication of the heart's attitude, Rashi says that this means God will suppress His anger by "looking at
you" (if God is angry at you, He "turns His face away" and refuses to admit your presence). The "lifting of face" also
pictures God lifting you up as a father might lift up his child in joy. The "showing of face" indicates spiritual intimacy.
9
All of the other blessings are useless without the establishment of inner peace, and therefore it is the seal of the blessing.
Shalom (~Alv') is not simply the absence of strife, but a balance and harmony between the finite and infinite, the temporal
and the eternal, the material and the spiritual realms. Shalom is a gift from Sar Shalom (~Alv' rf;), the Prince of Peace.

Dealing with the
bloodshed root

Dealing with the BLOODSHED root …
Follow the steps laid out in the general guideline.
Work through your checklist point by point, in conjugation with the appropriate
prayers of renunciation.
The following is a “shortlist” of the points to work through in dealing with the BLOODSHED
root:
•
Wars.
•
Murder.
•
Suicide.
•
Abortion.
•
Violence, anger, strife, fighting.
•
Hatred, rebellion, bitterness,
jealousy, envy.
•
Unreasonable treatment.
•
Cruelty (to children, wife,
Jews, Black people, and so
forth).
•
Blood sacrifices.
•
Unjust judgments
(Deuteronomy 27:25).
•
Revenge, vengeance,
plundering (destruction of
another's possessions).
•
Breaking of promises.
Following are some specific prayers
regarding involvement in bloodshed. We encourage you to
work through these, always asking the Holy Spirit to come and be the Perfect Counsellor –
to guide you in all Truth – and to bring His Truth and Light into the darkness.
Dealing with the sin of bloodshed1 …
The first incidence of bloodshed in the Bible was in Genesis 4, where Cain killed his
brother Abel. In the generations after Cain the sin of bloodshed was multiplied through a
cycle of vengeance (Genesis 4:23,24). God’s reaction on this sin was severe. He said that
Cain would be cursed from the earth so that when the ground is tilled, it shall not yield the
strength it should. The murderer would also become a wanderer and fugitive, unable to
settle (Genesis 4:11,12).
1 Extracts from http://www.global24-­‐7.org 10
When God gave His Torah to Moses, He commanded that the murderer was to die:
Deuteronomy 19:11-13 “11 But if any man hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him, and
attacks him and wounds him mortally so that he dies, and the assailant flees into one of
these cities, 12 Then the elders of his own city shall send for him and fetch him from there
and give him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die. 13 Your eyes shall not
pity him, but you shall clear Israel of the guilt of innocent blood, that it may go well
with you.”
When there was unresolved murder, God asked the priests from the nearest city to deal
with the situation (Deuteronomy 21). The Bible teaches that any bloodshed, those of
humans and animals, caused guilt on the land.
Bloodguilt is an inevitable result that is caused by the shedding of human blood or animals
sacrificed to idols. This guilt is like contamination that quickly spreads. It can affect the
killer and his extended family, the following generation, the city that he lives in, the nation
he belongs to and the land he lives in. Right after the flood God also issued a command
that forbids the eating or drinking of blood. This command was still honoured by the New
Testament church.
Acts 15:20 “20 But we should send word to them in writing to abstain from and avoid
anything that has been polluted by being offered to idols, and all sexual impurity, and
[eating meat of animals] that have been strangled, and [tasting of] blood.
In the New Testament Y’shua [Jesus] took the command concerning murder even further,
stating that unjustified anger and anger outbursts is as bad in God’s eyes as murder.
Bloodshed is a serious offence in God’s eyes. When Manasseh filled Jerusalem with
innocent blood, God was not willing to forgive, therefore He exiled His people (2 Kings
24:4). When those who sought after God, had bloodguilt on their hands, God did not want
to answer their prayers (Isaiah 1:15; 59:2).
In Proverbs, He says that He hates hands that shed blood (Proverbs 6:17). In Joel (3:21)
God promised that when He brings restoration, He will pardon bloodguilt, but until then, the
land will not conceal the bloodshed (Isaiah 26:21).
This blood will continue to cry out to God like the blood of Abel. South Africans are
burdened with bloodguilt because of the innocent blood that was shed in our land.
The effect of this bloodguilt can be seen in the increase of vengeance and revenge, the
outbursts of anger between people, the unsettled ways of many peoples and the
increasing physical need for food to some parts of the population.
The only way to deal with this guilt is to appropriate the Blood of Y’shua [Jesus] on our
behalf. How do we do that? We approach the throne of grace with the assurance that we
have an Advocate in Heaven Who intercedes on our behalf. He paid the price for our sins
with His Blood and we do not need to offer the blood of a bull or goat to ask for
forgiveness. The Blood of Y’shua [Jesus] on the altar in Heaven can speak on our behalf
(Hebrews 12:24).
11
Armed with this promise of forgiveness and the surety of the better covenant, we can
approach God, repent of the sin in our land, and receive His forgiveness. When sin is not
repented of, it is not forgiven. Even time does not erase sin.
The only way to receive forgiveness is through repentance. Unrepentant sin, even those of
previous generations, still have an effect on the generations afterwards. Just a reminder,
we confess the sin before but DO NOT pray for the forgiveness of the ancestors. They had
their chance before God.
We pray so that God can remove the guilt on our land through the Blood of Y’shua [Jesus]
and also the curse that came because of the bloodguilt. Then we can remind God of His
promise:
2 Chronicles 7:14 “14 If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves,
pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then
will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
Prayers concerning bloodguilt …
Genesis 4:10 “10 And [the Lord] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother’s
blood is crying to Me from the ground.”
Hebrews 12:24 “24 And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant,
and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more
gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. [Gen.
4:10.]”
FATHER, we acknowledge our guilt of bloodshed in our nation. We confess that the
voices of many people’s blood are crying to You from this land. We repent of the fact that
we have filled this land with blood. We ask You for the cleansing of the Blood of Y’shua
[Jesus], and that the Blood of sprinkling in heaven will speak on behalf of
___________________ (country), to bring forgiveness, healing and restoration in our land.
Leviticus 17:11 “11 For the life (the animal soul) is in the blood, and I have given it for
you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes
atonement, by reason of the life [which it represents]. [Rom. 3:24-26.]”
FATHER God, the Author of Life, we acknowledge and confess that we have treated life
with little respect. We ask for forgiveness and pray that You will restore in us the respect
for life and treat people as creatures that carry Your life-giving breath.
Numbers 35:33 “33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes
the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood shed in it, but by
the blood of him who shed it.”
Judge of the living and the dead, we acknowledge and confess our guilt before You
concerning the bloodguilt in our land caused by wars, murders and accidents. We pray
for Your mercy and that you will forgive us for this sin of polluting the land. We pray that
our prayers will be acceptable to you and that you will heal our land.
12
Leviticus 17:10 “10 Any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who dwell
temporarily among them who eats any kind of blood, against that person I will set My
face and I will cut him off from among his people [that he may not be included in the
atonement made for them]. [Ezek. 33:25.]”
Psalm 16:4 “4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who choose another god; their drink
offerings of blood will I not offer or take their names upon my lips.”
Lord God, we confess and repent of any drinking and eating of blood in our country,
whether it be in worship of false gods, spirits, ancestors or any other being, in any initiation
ceremonies or cultural traditions and food.
Luke 11:50-51 “50 So that the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the
world may be charged against and required of this age and generation, 51 From the
blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the
sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against and required of this age and
generation. [Gen. 4:8; II Chron. 24:20, 21; Zech. 1:1.]”
Hosea 4:2 “2 There is nothing but [false] swearing and breaking faith and killing and
stealing and committing adultery; they break out [into violence], one [deed of]
bloodshed following close on another.”
Righteous One, we acknowledge and confess that the bloodguilt of the past
generations had not been dealt with and that because of this, bloodshed calls for
bloodshed in our country. We pray that You, in Your mercy, will break this cycle of
bloodshed in our land through the power of the Blood of Y’shua [Jesus].
Psalm 106:38 “38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their
daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with
their blood.”
FATHER God, we acknowledge and confess that we are guilty of shedding innocent blood
at the altars of comfort and mammon through killing the unborn babies in abortion. Please
extend your forgiveness to __________________________ (country) for legalizing this
sin. We pray for your mercy upon this nation.
Genesis 9:5 “5 And surely for your lifeblood I will require an accounting; from every
beast I will require it; and from man, from every man [who spills another’s lifeblood] I will
require a reckoning.”
Lord our Righteousness, please guide our leaders to take up their responsibility in regard
to bloodshed and help us to again accept the responsibility we have towards life.
Judges 9:23-24 “23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of
Shechem, and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech, 24 That the
violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might
be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the men of
Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brothers.”
13
Our Redeemer, You who avenge blood, please remove any spirits of ill will from our nation
that may cause people to call for revenge because of bloodshed. You have avenged all
bloodshed on Y’shua [Jesus] when He carried our sins on the cross. Please bring comfort
and healing to those of us who have lost loved ones in conflict and wars, and remove from
our hearts the bitterness and hatred towards the offenders, so that we can forgive.
Ezekiel 33:25 “25 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: You eat meat with the
blood [as an idolatrous rite] and lift up your eyes to your [filthy] idols and shed
blood; shall you then possess the land? [Gen. 9:4; Lev. 3:17; 7:27; Acts 15:28, 29.]”
Sovereign Lord, we confess that as different people groups we are fighting for the
possession of land in this country. We acknowledge today that the land belongs to You
and that You are the Rightful Ruler of this land. Help us to deal with the land issues in
Godly ways. May Your Kingdom come to ___________________________ (country).
Genesis 4:10-12 “10 And the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, taking
some of all his master’s treasures with him; thus he journeyed to Mesopotamia [between
the Tigris and the Euphrates], to the city of Nahor [Abraham’s brother]. 11 And he made
his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening
when women go out to draw water. 12 And he said, O Lord, God of my master
Abraham, I pray You, cause me to meet with good success today, and show
kindness to my master Abraham.”
Restorer of all things, please remove the curse of bloodguilt from
______________________ (country), so that the ground will again yield its crops for the
people and send both the early and latter rains, according to your promise in 2 Chronicles
7:13. In the Name of Y’shua [Jesus], we ask You to remove any alienation that may cause
people to become restless and unsettled. Give us Your peace and stability for this nation.
Hebrews 9:22 “22 [In fact] under the Law almost everything is purified by means of
blood, and without the shedding of blood there is neither release from sin and its guilt
nor the remission of the due and merited punishment for sins.”
God, we confess that when we commemorate bloodshed (through monuments) in our
land, bitterness and hatred filled our hearts towards those who hurt us or killed our families
and instead of extending forgiveness we accused and asked for revenge. We now choose
to forgive those who caused us pain, just as You forgave us through the Blood of Y’shua
[Jesus].
Habakkuk 2:12 “12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood and establishes a city by
iniquity!”
Daniel 9:8 “8 O Lord, to us belong confusion and shame of face—to our kings, to our
princes, and to our fathers—because we have sinned against You.”
King of Righteousness, we confess that many of our cities and towns were founded on
injustice, bloodshed, and crime. Since the foundation of this nation hundreds of years
ago, men (and women) of influence used their power to shed blood. We are ashamed
because of our sin.
14
Please remove the bloodthirsty foundations of our nation, cities and towns, and lay a new
foundation based on the Atonement of Y’shua [Jesus] and repentance.
Isaiah 1:15-16 “15 And when you spread forth your hands [in prayer, imploring help], I will
hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands
are full of blood! 16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your
doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,”
Joel 3:21 " 21 And I will cleanse and hold as innocent their blood and avenge it,
blood which I have not cleansed, held innocent, and avenged, for the Lord dwells in
Zion.”
Ancient of Days, You promised to hear from heaven when we humble ourselves, seek
Your Face and turn from our wicked ways. Please hear now as we pray and no longer hide
Your Face from us. Acquit _______________________ (country) from all bloodguilt from
the:
• Bloodshed committed by the first inhabitants who sacrificed to other gods, to the
bloodshed at illegitimate altars of today (any sacrifice to idols whether occultic or
cultural);
• Bloodshed from ethnic conflict and tribal wars;
• Bloodshed during the colonial years;
• Bloodshed caused by the resistance movements against the ruling regimes;
bloodshed caused by murders, killings, accidents, abortions, suicides, poverty and
injustices.
Allow this land to receive Your healing, cleansing, salvation and restoration. Amen.
Psalm 51:12 “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to
sustain me.”
Our Saviour, we rejoice in the power of Your Name. You do all things well. You are the
King of Peace, the Ruler in Righteousness, the Restorer of all things, the Father of the
fatherless and the Defender of the widow. We delight ourselves in You. May Your Name be
glorified in __________ (country). May all the peoples acknowledge and praise Your
Name. We celebrate Your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of Your Righteousness.
Example of corporate prayer to be prayed at battlefields and monuments to war,
sites of conflict, sacrificial worship sites, abortion clinics, sites of accidents,
murder, suicide, etc.
Father God, we come to You in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ according to the
promise in John 16:23. Blessed be Your glorious Name; You who are exalted above all
blessing and praise! You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, the heaven of
heavens, with all their host, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them,
and You preserve them all.
15
Together with the host of heaven we worship You. We acknowledge today that You are
God above all gods, that there is none like You, o Lord. You are the God who made the
land we live in.
You have also made all the nations of one blood and have determined their pre-appointed
times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek You (Acts 17:26,27).
In humility, we, as the Church in _______________ (country), submit ourselves before You
(James 4:6,7) and bow our knees to You to give an account of ourselves, our people
groups and our country (Romans 14:11,12).
We have been convicted by the Holy Spirit of our guilt concerning the sin of bloodshed in
our nation, the righteousness that You require from us and Your judgment on our country
because of our sin. We repent of the fact that we have filled this nation with blood.
Bloodshed of the past:
Father, we acknowledge and confess that the bloodguilt of the previous generations had
not been dealt with. We repent today of the bloodshed through the wars in our country
(e.g. White ↔ Khoi, White ↔ San, White ↔ Xhosa, Xhosa ↔ San, Xhosa ↔ Khoi, San ↔
Griekwa, San ↔ Korannah, Zulu ↔ Xhosa, Zulu ↔ Basutho, Zulu ↔ White, Shangaan ↔
Zulu, Ndebele ↔ Tswana, Ndebele ↔ Pedi, Venda ↔ Pedi, Boer ↔ British, name any
other battle that was fought in your area ________________________ ).
We pray that You will pour out Your mercy on us and break the cycle of bloodshed and
vengeance in our land through the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. Please bring
reconciliation between the different people groups in our country, and let the blood of
Jesus Christ restore relationships, heal wounds of rejection, hatred and mistrust.
We also confess that some of the monuments we erected to commemorate these battles,
were used to stir up hatred, bitterness and racism in our hearts. We confess that we have
allowed those emotions to taint our message of who You are and that we have used the
Bible to justify bloodshed. We also confess that some of these monuments (many of them
to honour Egyptian and Roman deities) do not glorify Your Name. Please forgive us.
Bloodshed through conflict:
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that the shedding of war-blood in the
time of peace will call for revenge. We confess today that we are guilty of shedding warblood in peacetimes in our country. We confess and repent of the killings through
terrorism, racial conflict and oppression during the liberation struggle. We acknowledge
deeds of injustice carried out by those who were to keep the peace and confess it before
You. Please forgive us.
Bloodshed through wars in other countries:
Father, we confess that we are guilty of shedding blood in other nations too. We pray for
the bloodguilt to be removed and for reconciliation to take place.
16
Bloodshed through murder and suicide:
Father, we confess and repent for the bloodshed of murders committed in our country. We
also confess our guilt for legalizing murder through abortion and the shedding innocent
blood at the altars of mammon and comfort through the killing of unborn babies. We repent
of anger, hatred and bitterness that lead to massacres on farms, in families and because
of racism.
Bloodshed through accidents:
Lord, we confess the innocent bloodshed because of accidents on the roads through
reckless driving, drunkenness, not abiding by the law and other reasons. Please remove
the bloodguilt from our land.
Bloodshed through sacrifice:
Father of our Saviour Y’shua (Jesus Christ), we acknowledge the guilt on our land
because of the bloodshed of animals (and humans) during the worship of other gods
(Satanism, witchcraft, worship of anything or anyone other than God, the Father of Y’shua
(Jesus Christ). We confess and repent of any bloodshed in initiation ceremonies,
traditional rituals and the eating and drinking of blood in cultural ways.
We pray in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus Christ) that You will remove the curse from the land
and restore Your Favour so that the land will yield its increase once again.
We pray that You will break the curse of alienation and wandering and allow people to
settle in the land You’ve given them.
We ask for the cleansing of the Blood of Y’shua (Jesus Christ), and that the Blood of
Y’shua (Jesus) on the altar in heaven will speak on behalf of ________________ (country)
today (Hebrews 12:24), to bring forgiveness, healing and restoration in our land.
AMEN!

Prayer for bloodguilt ...
I confess that my ancestors and I have been involved in the sin of bloodshed. I accept the
guilt of this sin on behalf of myself and my family.
I confess, reject and renounce all shedding of blood at illegal altars to idols or spiritual
forces, whether blood of animals or humans.
I confess the sin of bloodshed in abortion and acknowledge that it is murder and the
shedding of innocent blood and reject this practice.
I confess, reject and renounce any bloodshed through murders or killings done by my
ancestors during times of war that my ancestors or I were involved in, whether it be
through defense or attack.
I confess the sin of committing land clearances and the removal of innocent people from
their own land. This is nothing less than the shedding of innocent blood, and the breaking
of covenants. Much of this involved immorality and rape of the land and its people. The
theft of property and the theft of the dignity and freedom of people took place. I
acknowledge on behalf of myself and my family that this involved the sin of usury,
exploitation, control, manipulation and intimidation.
I confess, reject, and renounce this sin committed before God and His people over every
generation in my family lineage originating from Adam and Eve to the present – so that I,
my family, and our descendants will never again be held responsible, and that the violation
which has effected both spiritual realm as well as the physical ream will be removed under
the Blood of Y’shua (Jesus Christ).
I confess, reject and repent of any bloodshed through manipulation or scarification on my
body or any body piercing done in opposition to the guidelines of Scripture.
I confess, reject and repent of any drinking or eating of blood done in my culture on my
part or that of my ancestors – whether wittingly or unwittingly – whether as part of a
covenant ritual – or a fraternity rite – even if it included the incorrect use of the Sacrament
of Holy Communion. I confess, reject, and repent of any rituals involving blood, any
documentation signed in blood, or any ceremonies where my ancestors or I used blood. I
confess, reject, and repent of any blood covenants made with spiritual forces, people, or
animals.
I forgive anyone who has committed bloodshed against me, my family, or my people. In
the Name of Y’shua (Jesus), I ask that the Blood of Y’shua (Jesus) silences the voices of
blood crying out against my family and me.
I ask that the cycle of violence and bloodshed will stop and that no more revenge will be
required.
I ask that the mourning of the land caused through untimely bloodshed on the past of my
family lineage will end now and the healing of land under the influence of my ancestral line
will take place.
THANK YOU Father for the Blood of Y’shua!

Prayers for loss of a Baby ...
Introduction
Heavenly FATHER,
I come before Your Throne of Grace and Mercy with this very painful issue that has
happened to me – something I never thought would happen to ME!
I thank You that I can call You FATHER! Thank You for adopting me as Your child and
loving me more than any earthly father ever could! I have believed You are ALWAYS good
and always want to bless me – I have learned all Your Characteristics from Your Word –
You are a loving, compassionate, faithful and caring FATHER – You ALWAYS want the
best for me – You are always in control – and I believe that all things that happen to me,
You are fully aware of.
I do not understand WHY I have lost my baby – BUT – I CHOOSE to trust You no matter
what! My heart is really full of pain – I am struggling with so many questions:
•
Why did You allow this?
•
If You know all things and are all powerful, then why did You not stop conception?
•
You are the Giver of life, then why give life to take it away?
•
Why allow pregnancy to form if there was something wrong with the baby?
•
Why did You not prevent this from happening?
•
What did I do wrong?
•
Did I open a door any where in my past that has allowed this to happen?
•
Did my forefathers open doors that could have allowed this to happen?
•
Did I have rebellion in my heart against anyone?
•
Is it because of my sexual sin and promiscuous premarital sexual relations?
•
Why do I have this guilt, emptiness, numbness, hopelessness and believing I have
failed this “life” that was in my womb?
•
What did I say or do to bring such destruction on myself?
I want to bring all these points before You FATHER, and deal with them once and for all. I
want to close all possible doors from the past – my own sins as well as those of my
forefathers – I choose to remove all demonic legal right from satan to ever steal, kill or
destroy any fruit of my womb again!
Heavenly FATHER, I don’t want to grieve as one without hope. Because You are The Life
Giver. You can restore me as a new being.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-­‐14 “13 Now also we would not have you ignorant, brethren, about those who fall asleep [in death], that you may not grieve [for them] as the rest do who have no hope [beyond the grave]. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him through Jesus those who have fallen asleep [in death].”
I know Your Word says You can heal me, give me a new spirit and a new heart in my inner
being. I will also see my baby one day when I get to Heaven!
Ezekiel 36:26 “26 A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”
AMEN!
Prayer for Abortion ...
FATHER, in the Name of Y’shua, I bring before You all acts of abortion – personal as well
as on my bloodline – I ask forgiveness for the sin of murder. I declare that we had no right
to decide over life and death – we stepped into Your position and this resulted in opening
demonic doors in the spirit over our family. Please forgive us for shedding innocent blood
and thereby bringing curses upon our children and ourselves.
Your Word declares:
Levi7cus 18:21 “21 You shall not give any of your children to pass through the fire and sacrifice them to Molech [the fire god], nor shall you profane the name of your God [by giving it to false gods]. I am the Lord.
Deuteronomy 19:10 “10 Lest innocent blood be shed in your land, which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and so blood guilt be upon you.”
Psalm 72:12-­‐14 “12 For He delivers the needy when he calls out, the poor also and him who has no helper. 13 He will have pity on the poor and weak and needy and will save the lives of the needy. 14 He will redeem their lives from oppression and fraud and violence, and precious and costly shall their blood be in His sight.”
Genesis 4:8-­‐12 “8 And Cain said to his brother, fLet us go out to the field. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. 9 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper? 10 And [the Lord] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed by reason of the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s [shed] blood from your hand. 12 When you Vll the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugiVve and a vagabond on the earth [in perpetual exile, a degraded outcast].”
FATHER, I realize that the blood of the child/children that I and my forefathers have
aborted now cries out to You for vengeance – it witnesses against me in the spirit and
declares I am guilty!
I also bring before You any IUD apparatus that I or any other female family member used
as a form of contraception that caused spontaneous abortions. FATHER, I also include any
other form of contraception that caused in a chemical change in the lining of the uterus
and the conceived embryo could not attach to grow full term – this then resulted in a
spontaneous abortion.
Please forgive us, FATHER, for this sin even if it was committed in ignorance.
Forgive us for giving any sacrifice to satan which gave him worship and power to rule over
our lives. We are so sorry FATHER!
Your Word also declares that if I confess my sins You are faithful and just to forgive me
and to cleanse me of all iniquity (1 John 1:9). I stand upon Your Word and receive my
forgiveness now, in the Name of Y’shua.
I ask You to please silence all blood testifying against me with the Blood of Messiah and to
remove all witnesses speaking against me in the spirit.
I ask You FATHER to break every curse of death that has come over my womb … I bind
every spirit of death, murder, and sacrifice that has entered my womb in the Name of
Y’shua! I fire the GATEKEEPERS of death assigned over my womb keeping the GATES of
my womb open to be accessed by satan and his demons.
I ask You FATHER to break the curse over my womb that declared it to be a tomb, in
Y’shua’s Name! I ask You FATHER, to wash out my womb with the Water of Your Word
and to cleanse it of all defilement coming from death, hell and the grave, in the Name of
Y’shua! Please reverse every curse and change it into a blessing!
We now dedicate my womb to the Almighty God
and Creator of ALL life – YAHWEH, God of Israel!
We ask You FATHER to assign Your angels at the
entrance to my womb with Flaming Swords to
guard that gate and to only allow Your Godly Will
to be done at that gate, in the Name of Y’shua! I
now declare that my womb is blessed and a place
of LIFE!
FATHER, please remove all claims that satan has
had on my baby/babies – personally and on my
bloodline. We take all adoption papers out of his
hands and give them to You ABBA FATHER!
Please release the spirit of my own baby/babies
(as well as all the aborted babies on my bloodline) from any place of captivity in the spirit
where satan has used it for his purposes against me and my family, in the Name of Y’shua.
We now lift every baby that died prematurely before Your Throne and dedicate him/her to
You now. (If you felt strongly in your heart that you knew what sex your baby was, give the
baby a name. One day you will meet this child in Heaven and children need names!)
FATHER, please heal my heart of all grief, loss and mourning – heal the hearts of my
loved ones mourning with me as well, in the Name of Y’shua. Help me to let go of this little
one completely – to trust You to take care of this baby now in Heaven.
AMEN!
Prayer for Miscarriage ...
FATHER, I bring before You every miscarriage that has taken place in our family – every
legal right that the enemy has had to steal, kill and destroy the fruit of the wombs in our
family.
I ask You to please silence the blood crying vengeance against our family and to silence
the witnesses speaking against us in the spirit. Please cancel the legal right of the enemy
to keep on stealing the babies from our wombs.
We bring before You every baby that has died prematurely. We now choose to forgive
anybody whom we felt was responsible in any way for the death of our baby/babies.
(Negligence by the doctor, violence of a spouse/family members, rejection by any one who
did not want the baby, I forgive myself for ___________, etc.)
We apply the Blood of Y’shua (Jesus) to the blood of each baby that has died and we
declare that the death of each baby will not be used as a sacrifice for satan in any way –
we cancel all worship he could have received by the death of any baby and the grief that
went with this great loss.
In the Name of Y’shua, we now bind the spirits of death, sacrifice and murder and send
them to become the Footstool of Messiah Y’shua!
I ask You FATHER, to break the curse over my womb that declared it to be a tomb, in
Y’shua’s Name! I ask You FATHER, to wash out my womb with the Water of Your Word
and to cleanse it of all defilement coming from death, hell and the grave, in the Name of
Y’shua! Please reverse every curse and change it into a blessing!
We fire the gatekeepers over my womb that were assigned by satan to give him and his
demons access to my womb, in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus) – we now dedicate my womb
to the Almighty God and Creator of ALL life – YAHWEH, God of Israel!
We ask You FATHER to assign Your angels at the entrance to my womb with Flaming
Swords to guard that gate and to only allow Your Godly Will to be done at that gate, in the
Name of Y’shua!
FATHER, please remove all claims that satan has had on my baby/babies – personally
and on my bloodline. We take all adoption papers out of his hands and give them to You
ABBA FATHER! Please release the spirit of my own baby/babies (as well as all the aborted
babies on my bloodline) from any place of captivity in the spirit where satan has used the
baby’s spirit for his purposes against me and my family, in the Name of Y’shua.
We lift every baby that died prematurely before Your Throne and dedicate him/her to You
now. (If you felt strongly in your heart that you knew what sex your baby was, give the
baby a name. One day you will meet this child in Heaven and children need names!)
FATHER, please heal my heart of all grief, loss and mourning – heal the hearts of my
loved ones mourning with me as well, in the Name of Y’shua.
Help me to let go of this little one completely – to trust You to take care of this baby now in
Heaven. When You choose to give me another baby in Your perfect time, I want to be able
to love that baby with “no strings attached” – with no ungodly expectations or feelings of “a
replacement child”.
I now declare that my womb is blessed and a
place of LIFE!
!
I declare that my womb is ready to receive and
conceive the SEED-LIFE You have purposed
and ordained for me to receive.
I bless my womb to be a SAFE place – to
nurture and to carry this conceived seed of life
the full nine months of pregnancy until the day
of birth …
To be able to give birth to strong healthy babies
– according to the Book of Life written by
Almighty ABBA FATHER as He has determined
the number of children that will come forth from
my womb, before the foundations of this world!
We declare agreement and alignment of my womb with Your Perfect Will ABBA FATHER!
Let Your Will be done, Let Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven!
Psalm 139:1-18
1 O Lord, You have searched me [thoroughly]
and have known me.
2 You know my downsi<ng and my uprising;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You siA and search out my path and my lying down, and You are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue [sDll unuEered], but, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have beset me and shut me in—behind and before, and You have laid Your Hand upon me.
6 Your [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me, I cannot reach it.
7 Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uEermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there shall Your Hand lead me, and Your Right Hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me,
12 Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery].
16 Your Eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were wriEen before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would sDll be with You.
Thank You, FATHER that I may come before You and I receive Your healing in the
Name of Y’shua!
AMEN!
Vanishing Twins, and Spirit/Soul Mates2
(Be/er Rela4onships with Martyn Carruthers)
The idea of vanishing twins may have began in ancient Greece. Plato wrote that we are
born perfect, and then split in half by Zeus. He described human loneliness, our desire for
lost perfection and our search for a twin soul ... sometimes called a twin flame.
“... and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, the
pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one
will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment ...” (Plato)
If a multiple conception results in one living child, that child might feel that an important
person is missing ... and search for a missing soul twin or soul mate. The search for a soul
mate is common amongst people who believe that finding an ideal counterpart will bring
happiness and fulfilment.
During this search, a sequence of potential perfect partners may be found - and, after
some time, each is rejected as inadequate. This transference of a missing or imaginary
twin onto real people, and the subsequent rejection of those same people, can cause
suffering for self and others.
Human twins are famous for a closeness that seems to begin in their mother's womb.
Although twins may forget their early intrauterine experience, twins appear to have strong
bonds throughout life. In the event of the loss of a twin in the womb, the surviving twin may
experience consequences sometimes called vanishing twin syndrome.
Although ultrasound technology can identify twins early in pregnancy, many doctors don't
tell the mothers, and may not record the twins' existence. Doctors may prefer to avoid
triggering feelings of grief and loss in mothers whose later ultrasound scans will show
mostly singletons.
When a twin disappears, the surviving twin may develop emotional problems, even if the
child is not told that a twin vanished. Dr. William Baldwin, wrote in "Spirit Releasement
Therapy" that a dead twin attaches its spirit to the surviving twin. Dr. Alice Rose wrote in
"Coping with Eating Disabilities" that some eating disorders are the result of a twin dying
in the womb due to competition for nourishment.
Dr. Michael Newton, author of "Destiny of Souls" disagrees with the concept of twin souls
(spirits). He reports that his clients have "primary soul-mates" rather than twin souls.
2 NOTE ON DID/SRA: We have thought to add this informaDon because of the many medical experiments that have been done on twins (Joseph Mengele) and the occulDc beliefs around this subject. It is also very common to find that the survivor was one of a twin where the twin was sacrificed in the womb to enforce specific curses on the surviving twin.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
The term in-vitro is from Latin, meaning "in glass." Couples who cannot conceive naturally
may have ova from the woman fertilized in vitro in an IVF laboratory, usually with the
husband's sperm. A few of the embryos are then implanted in the woman's uterus. Most of
these embryos die or are discarded - very few are allowed to develop into a foetus and
eventually into a new-born baby.
Unwanted embryo are often garbage, and although their stem cells may be extracted for
research, hundreds of thousands of embryo die in IVF clinics. (After we have coached
people created in vitro, we will publish methods for recognizing and resolving any
emotional and behavioral consequences of IVF.)
Vanishing Twins
Vanishing twin syndrome was described by Dr. Stoeckel in 1945 as multiple gestation
with subsequent disappearance of one or more foetus. Vanishing twin syndrome is more
often diagnosed if ultrasound was used during early pregnancy. Some twins die or vanish
in the womb before birth and some twins die during or shortly after birth. Perhaps 30% of
all single births were once twins.
The death of a foetal twin is a high risk factor for cerebral palsy. When a fraternal twin dies
in the womb, the prevalence of cerebral palsy in a surviving twin is increased by a factor of
40 (8%, compared to an overall prevalence of 0.2%), apparently due to variations in the
foetal blood supply.
Missing twin syndrome (aka Twin Embolization Syndrome) is a common occurrence
during the early stages of a multiple pregnancy. One foetus may be resorbed by the
mother, or assimilated by the other foetus, possibly creating a chimera. Or the dead foetus
may remain as a small cluster of dead tissues (fetus papyraceous, a paper-like foetal
remnant). Occasionally, remains of the resorbed foetus are found within the surviving
twin, as a tertoma tumor, containing bone, hair, teeth and other foetal tissues; or a baby's
skeleton is seen on an x-ray of an adult. Whichever way, the vanishing twin has ...
vanished.
Are you a Chimera?
A surviving twin may have different genetic structures in different parts of the body. If two
eggs are fertilized by two sperm cells, the result is called fraternal twins, even if one is
female. If these two embryo fuse, then only one baby develops, with body cells from two
different people.
A person with two different sets of DNA is called a chimera. Some cells have the DNA of
one twin and the other cells have the DNA of the other twin. (Chimera such as human/
rabbit or human/mouse hybrids are created by merging animal embryos with human stem
cells.)
If a chimera survives, the body cells work together as if they were all from the same
zygote. Sometimes a chimera has patchy skin or eyes of different colors, or (rarely) is
transsexual or hermaphrodite. A blood chimera might have blood group AB while being
genetically A or B.
A human chimera may experience a conflict of identity. If a person has both male and
female cells, sexual confusion or disorientation might be expected. Most chimera look
normal - only DNA testing from multiple body parts can prove whether or not a person is a
chimera.
PRAYER
Father, we bring before You every ritual and curse put in place while the twins were
in the womb; we ask You to dismantle every structure and claim of the cult and
satan that was put in place over the life of the living twin.
In the Name of Y’shua (Jesus), we come to You and ask Your forgiveness for the
deliberate murder of one of the twins in the womb.
The death of the one twin sealed the living twin to loyalty to satan and the cult. We
ask You father to break this seal in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus)! We ask You to
silence the blood of the dead twin crying vengeance in the spirit with the Blood of
the Lamb.
We ask You to reverse every curse uttered and specifically the words:
Bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh” this knitted the twins together in a very
powerful way – Father, please break this
demonic covenant made between the
twins in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus).
We ask You to cut the spirit and soul ties
still connecting the living twin with the
dead twin.
We ask You to receive the spirit of the
dead twin and to separate the two from
one another body, soul and spirit.
We ask You to remove everything that
belonged to the dead twin - this caused
so much confusion for the living twin
as the two were so intertwined together.
Please remove all confusion and restore the living twin to the person You ordained
him/her to be from the beginning of time. Untangle their DNA strands that got
intertwined in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus).
The living twin must release the spirit of the dead twin to the LORD.
Dead human spirit attaches itself to living baby and lives its life through this baby’s body as
it does not have a body to express itself through. Person feels confused and does not
really know who they are – especially if the twin was the opposite sex.
We ask You to restore any gender confusion if the dead twin was of the opposite
sex, in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus). Please restore the balance to my hormones,
Father.
Help me to find my true identity according to my DNA as You determined who I
would be before the beginning of time. I choose to embrace Your plan for my life.
Deal with spirits of sacrifice, murder and death. Why did the one twin die? Umbilical cord
around neck?
We take authority over the spirits of sacrifice, murder and death in the Name of
Y’shua (Jesus). We strip you of your assignment, decommission you and send you
to the Feet of the KING Y’shua (Jesus)!
Father, we cancel all worship that satan received through the death of the twin in the
Name of Y’shua (Jesus).
I choose to forgive our parents and forefathers who were involved in satan worship
and the cult, and for dedicating me to satan.
I now choose to release them and to bless them as they did not know what they
were doing.
Now that I can choose, I declare that all loyalty to satan and the cult is now broken
in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus)! I walk away from the altars of satan and declare a
divorce from him and the cult leaders, in the Name of Y’shua (Jesus).
I will serve and worship the God of Israel YHVH ONLY – He and He alone is my God
and my KING!

The Hebrew Language ...
What’s the context? It is so important to ask – and answer – this question, particularly
when studying the Scriptures. We need to know what the meaning, understanding,
culture, and value system of the text was in the language and time the text was written.
Our modern-day mindsets cause us to define words within today’s meanings,
understanding, culture, and value systems … however, this is often quite a way off from
what was the original – and intended – understanding.
The Scriptures were written thousands of years ago in HEBREW, and in an EasternSemitic culture. If this is truth, then can we come to a different interpretation of any given
passage?
In order to expand our study and understanding of the Word, we need to have a “crash
course” in the original language the text was written, ancient Hebrew.
Ancient Hebrew has an alphabet of TWENTY-TWO letters. Obviously, words are written
using a combination of these letters [note, there are no vowels]. However, what makes
this language even more of an “adventure” is that each individual letter of the alphabet has
a unique meaning, picture [symbolism], and number. This means, you can study and
understand the plain text as is … and you can study further by delving into the individual
symbolism of the letters. Often, doing this kind of study brings out further meaning and
richness to the passage. You will find that we have used this type of study – examining
the picture-meaning of the Hebrew words – throughout our materials. We have found this
such a blessing in our own understanding of the Scriptures, and trust you will enjoy it just
as much! Truly, God’s Word is ALIVE!
