🙏 Prayer of Deliverance and Cleansing

Righteous Father,

We come before You as a people, as families, and as nations — repenting for the sin and stronghold of envy that has corrupted hearts, divided households, and hindered destinies.

Lord, we recognise the spirit of envy as a destructive seed from Jezebel’s lineage — a spirit that compares, competes, and contaminates the pure motives of the heart. It is the same spirit that turned brothers against brothers, leaders against leaders, and nations against nations. Today, we renounce it in the mighty name of Jesus!

Father, let Your mercy speak for our bloodlines wherever envy opened doors to strife, betrayal, and hatred. Where one generation envied another, where families tore themselves apart through jealousy, let the Blood of Jesus speak restoration and healing.

We repent on behalf of our fathers and mothers, our leaders, and our people for every time envy became a weapon that birthed gossip, division, and silent wars. We repent for every family that could not celebrate one another, every ministry that competed instead of cooperating, and every nation that envied its neighbour instead of partnering in peace.

Lord, uproot from our hearts, our families, and our nations every root of envy and rivalry. Let Your consuming fire burn away the poison of comparison and insecurity.

Deliver us from the spirit that rejoices when others fall, that grows bitter when others rise, and that plots against the blessings of others.

Father, release upon us the spirit of contentment and gratitude. Teach us as a people to rejoice when others are lifted, to bless when others prosper, and to celebrate when others shine. Replace envy with divine admiration, replace rivalry with unity, and replace bitterness with thanksgiving.

Every demonic power feeding off envy to destroy relationships, churches, families, and nations — we command you to COME OUT by the power of the Holy Ghost!

Let the fire of God sweep through bloodlines tonight. Let deliverance visit our roots and sanctify our generations from every envious spirit inherited from the past.

Father, raise a new generation that rejoices in the light of others. Let our nations work together in love and not competition. Let our families become gardens of gratitude. Let the Church walk in unity, honour, and mutual celebration.

We decree and declare that the curse of envy is broken — in our homes, in our bloodlines, and across our land — in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
