LORD, I am so grateful that YOU have saved me, are healing me and teaching me how to walk in the SPIRIT, and that YOU are going to use me in the manner for which YOU created me. I bind my body, soul, and spirit to YOUR will and purposes for my life. I bind my mind to the mind of Christ, I bind my will to YOUR will and I bind my emotions to the control of the HOLY SPIRIT.
I bind my feet to the paths YOU have ordained for me to walk: to the mountains and the valleys, to the continents and to the islands, to the dark alley ways and to the bright streets. I loose all preconceived ideas and patterns of thinking that I have ever had about “my” ministry, or about other’s ministries that I have either coveted or not understand. I surrender all my dreams, visions, plans, and preparations to YOUR will. I loose any wrong attitudes, motives, or desires that my soul is holding onto. I loose all of the offenses I’ve ever held on to, all of the unforgiveness, all of the hurt feelings from when I felt I was being overlooked.
LORD, I want my one desire for ministry to be that YOUR will is always able to be accomplished in and prospered through my life. I know that I need to be a clean, empty vessel in order for that to happen. I want to be emptied out of all of the things of this world, of my old nature, of man’s ways and plans, of preconceived ideas, of religious and doctrinal mind-sets I have allowed to form in my soul. I don’t want to leak out any ungodly mixture into my ministry, only a flowing forth of the anointing of YOUR HOLY SPIRIT.
Let the fruit of YOUR HOLY SPIRIT fill me as I loose and strip away the old grave clothes of my soul. I want to show forth the unique characteristics YOU have formed in me , but I know I don’t want any attitude to frame them except love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. YOUR word says that those who belong to Christ will be able to manifest these fruits of the spirit, because they have crucified their sinful nature with its old passions and desires. LORD, I loose the control and power of my old nature-my unsurrenderd soul- and I loose all wrong desires and passions from my unsurrendered will.
Let me minister YOUR love to those I come in contact with everyday. Let me remember that love never fails, it is always patient and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, nor it is proud. Love is never rude or self-seeking, not easily angered. LORD, above all else, teach me to remember that love keeps no record of wrongs and offenses. I loose, crucify, sever, and strip away my soul’s desire to keep files and accounts on others who have rubbed me the wrong way.
Show me how to desire only to protect others in their struggles, instead of wanting to expose their faults. I know YOUR HOLY SPIRIT in me can always protect me, so I can offer non-judgmental trust to all. Let me remember to always keep giving out YOUR love to the world, showing them how YOU have changed my life.
FATHER, keep turning up the heat of YOUR refining fire to get all the dross out of me. I want to be as pure as the finest gold that is nearly transparent. Only then will others see just Jesus in every act of ministry that I manifest. I bind myself to the paths YOU have ordained for me to walk, to YOUR timing, as well as to the paths, places, doors, divine appointments, and assignments YOU have purposed for me. In JESUS’ name, amen.
