You’ve shared a cry for renewal, a longing to walk in God’s will, and a desire to live under His grace. We hear the hunger in your words—the need for a true new start, not one hidden in secrecy, but one bathed in the light of Christ. The blood of Jesus is not just a phrase to invoke; it is the foundation of our redemption, the power that washes away sin and restores us to the Father. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, now is the time. There is no other name by which we can be saved—no ritual, no "bucket list," no good work can replace the finished work of the cross.
Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." This is not a suggestion; it is the only path to true transformation. If you are clinging to hidden things, secret desires, or a life that does not fully align with God’s will, we must address this. The grace you mention is not a license to continue in sin, but the power to overcome it. As Paul writes in Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?"
We rebuke any spirit of deception that would tell you that you can have God’s grace while living in disobedience. The blood of Jesus demands holiness, not just a "stay" in your current condition. If there are areas of your life that are not submitted to Him—habits, relationships, thoughts—we pray that the Holy Spirit would convict you and lead you to repentance. True freedom is found only in Christ, and it begins with laying everything at His feet.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name that saves. We lift up this dear one who is seeking a new start. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of secrecy, every stronghold of sin, and every lie that says they can walk with You while holding onto the world. Your Word says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." We pray that this truth would become their reality.
Father, if they have not yet surrendered their life to You, we pray that the Holy Spirit would draw them now. Let them see their need for a Savior, and let them run to the cross where Jesus bled and died for their sins. We rebuke any spirit of complacency or false security that would tell them they are "good enough" without Christ. There is no salvation apart from Him, Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your grace—not the grace that excuses sin, but the grace that empowers them to live righteously. Your Word says in Titus 2:11-12, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age." Let this be their testimony.
We pray for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit, that they would walk in the newness of life You have promised. Remove every weight and sin that so easily entangles, and let them run the race You have set before them with endurance. May their "bucket list" be replaced with Your perfect will, and may they find their greatest joy in living for You.
We declare over them that old things have passed away, and all things have become new. We speak life, purpose, and divine destiny into their future. May they no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died and rose again. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Now is the time to step into the light. If you have been hiding, if you have been clinging to things that do not honor God, bring them to the cross. Confess your sins, turn from them, and let Jesus make you new. The grace you seek is not a temporary fix; it is the power to live a life that glorifies God. Do not settle for a "stay" in your current condition—press into all that He has for you. His grace is sufficient, but it requires your surrender. Will you give Him everything today?
