Abbreviated Generational Service
Back Up Next


Is there a disturbing pattern recurring through the generations of your family? Can the pattern be broken? YES! Absolutely! Jesus sets people free. Check out Luke 4:18-19. Also have a look at Matthew 10:8.

The following is a simplified liturgy for generational healing. It has been adapted from a generational healing Eucharist as used by The Falls Church - Anglican in Falls Church, Virginia. It doesn't require clergy. I hope this may be helpful for you.

Leader: Blessed be God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
People: And blessed be His kingdom, now and forever. Amen.
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Leader: Let us pray.
Together: Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords, mercifully grant that the families we bring before you now, who have been divided and enslaved by sin and hurt, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen.

Scripture Readings: Exodus 34: 5-7; Deuteronomy 5: 9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:16-19

Renunciation of Occult Involvement

Leader and People:
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I renounce all satanic, occult, pagan, Yoga, Masonic or new age practices that I or any other member of my family line, past or present, may have engaged in.
Mention those practices which you personally wish to renounce.

Leader and People:
I ask Jesus Christ to forgive me, my family members, and my ancestors for turning from Him to these evil imitations of his knowledge and power. I send my forgiveness to any person in my family line who has indulged in these or other sinful practices. I ask Jesus to heal me and my family members of any harm that these practices may have done.
Ask forgiveness for any specific practices you wish to mention.

Leader and People:
I renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God.
I renounce the evil powers of this world which corrupt and destroy the creatures of God.
I renounce all sinful desires that draw me from the love of God.
I turn to Jesus Christ and accept Him as my Savior.
I put my whole trust in His grace and love.
I promise to follow and obey Him as my Lord. Amen.
