REMEMBER HIS PROMISES
So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands. Then they will not be like their ancestors—stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God. The warriors of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned their backs and fled on the day of battle. They did not keep God’s covenant and refused to live by his instructions.
They forgot what he had done— the great wonders he had shown them (Psalms 78:7-11)
Some questions to consider to guide this stage:
What does God’s word say about your situation?
- this may be highly specific or generalized
Is there anything else God wants you to know?
- Ask and wait for God to speak
ANCHOR THESE TWO STEPS IN WORSHIP, THANKSGIVING, AND PRAISE
And realise what this really means - we have the privilege of worshiping the Lord our God. For he is our Creator and we belong to him. We are the people of his pleasure. You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him and affectionately bless his beautiful name (Psalm 100:3-4)
Worshipping creates space for His presence to manifest
Praising, we acknowledge and declare His nature
Thanksgiving involves declaring and expressing gratitude for His actions - past, present and future

Steps Reconciliation (Introduced in Episode 29)
(adapted from Nothing Hidden Ministries)
1. This is what I did wrong or this is what I did that hurt you
2. This is the pain that I believe I put you through because of what I did
- Ask the other person for feedback:
Did I identify and understand the pain you went through?
Is there something else that I missed that would be good for me to know?
3. This is how I feel about putting you through that pain
4. It is my sincere desire, as best as I can, to change this behavior and not bring this pain into your life again.
5. Look at the other person and ask them, "can you forgive me for this pain I have put you through or this wrong I have done to you?"

Generational Prayer (Introduced in Episode 30)
(from Nothing Hidden Ministries)
I place the cross of Jesus in my family bloodline
And I sever all ties with this ungodly part of my natural heritage
that has manifested (name the things the Lord has shown you)
I claim the power of the cross
All generations back and all generations forward
to break the power of all demonic spirits assigned to me
to perpetuate this in my family line
By the power of the cross
In the name of Jesus
I command these demonic spirits and lies
Out of my life
Out of my thoughts
Out of my perceptions of myself and others
Out of my feelings and emotions
Out of my relationships
Out of my ways of relating to others
Away from my marriage or potential marriage
Away from my children or potential children
Out of my/our destiny and calling
And completely out of my/our future
I seal this in my spirit in the name of Jesus!
