Breaking the Spirit of Procrastination: A Prayer of Deliverance

Today, someone is facing significant challenges in completing projects they have started. You feel
overwhelmed and frustrated, and you need help determining where to begin.

Perhaps you find yourself at work, Church, or a friend's house, mentally preparing a list of tasks to tackle once you arrive home. You feel energized and motivated to complete them. However, when you get home, you suddenly lose all motivation and become lazy, losing interest in your planned tasks.

You may have taken on commitments, obligations, and promises that now seem impossible to fulfill. In your desperation for relief, you've fallen into the unproductive habit of postponing what you should be doing for another day. Some of you are pushing through exhaustion, pulled in different directions, thinking you must please everyone. It's clear you need rest, but distractions are making it hard to relax or sleep. If this is you, know that God has a message for you today.

The Enemy's Strategy Against Your Mind

The Lord's message to you is this: the enemy has created specific evil forces to work against you and prevent you from succeeding. One of these forces works by letting you plan and build up your hopes and enthusiasm for certain things, then, through the Spirit of procrastination, causing you to put it off day after day. Eventually, you realize you still haven't accomplished what you wanted, and it seems impossible to achieve at this stage. This leads to frustration and feelings of inadequacy. The enemy is pursuing you relentlessly, but his primary strategy is a subtle attack on your mind.

He said your Spirit is spiritually malnourished because of your anxiety and frustration, and because you focus on everything except His Word. Begin to renew, rebuild, and restore your human Spirit by decreeing the Word of God.

Renew Your Spirit With the Word

"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." (2 Corinthians 2:11)

He said to remind the devil that he is a liar:

"When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (John 8:44)

"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace." (1 Corinthians 14:33)

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Isaiah 26:3)

"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." (Psalm 119:165)

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

A Prayer of Deliverance

Heavenly Father, as believers in Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, we humbly ask for Your help in permanently disabling the devices of Satan, specifically the spirits of procrastination, inadequacy, failure, lack of enthusiasm, and defeat. Your Word states that the same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead resides in us, as mentioned in Romans 8:11. Furthermore, Your Word encourages us that He who dwells in us is greater than he who is in the world, as stated in 1 John 4:4.

We will continue to have faith until we see the manifestation of Your Word, which says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). Father God, please hear our prayers and reveal to us anything in our hearts that may hinder our communication with You. We pray in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Spiritual warfare against the spirit of procrastination

  One of the fundamental principles of spiritual warfare is the law of resistance. This law indicates a few things, and they are. 1) We must resist whatever is challenging us spiritually. 2) If we do not oppose, then whatever is challenging us will eventually overcome us. 3) By not resisting what is challenging us, then by default, we are giving it the right to remain and rule in our lives. Finally, 4) By activating the law of spiritual resistance, whatever is resisting us MUST FLEE!

This spiritual law of resistance says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" James 4:7. The word submit means to give over or yield to the power or authority. So to be successful in the second part of the spiritual principle of James 4:7. We must first relinquish our way of doing things and yield to the power and authority of God to withstand the spiritual forces that are resisting us.

So, in essence, we don't resist our spiritual opponents by saying, "Go away, devil," or saying, "leave me alone, Satan." Instead, it's done by submitting to God. It indicates that we must take his word and resist the devil and his agents by speaking it against them. To suggest otherwise would suggest that we are doing it our way, and scripture clearly says that there is a way that may seem right to us, but at the end of that way, we are guaranteed failure and destruction, Proverbs 16:25 and Proverbs 12:14.

I mentioned all of that to get to what the Lord laid on my heart for someone today challenged by "PROCRASTINATION." The enemy of your soul has been having a field day with your life by endorsing that you never ever complete the things you've started or get to work on something you know you need to be doing. You either become exhausted, sleepy, frustrated or naturally lose the desire to complete assigned or essential tasks. Your life has become an utter mess due to unfinished or things you have yet to address. The spirit of procrastination has overwhelmed you with the desire and pleasure of putting it off for another time, and you know just as well as I do that task will never get done.

The Lord told you that to overcome this nagging and frustrating spirit, you must initiate the process by submitting to God. He said also remind you that we are co-laborers with him, 1 Corinthians 3:9 and that you are guaranteed failure if you continue to fight this stubborn spirit on your own.

From this moment forward, you must speak the word of God against the spirit of procrastination. For example, "Spirit of procrastination, I can and will do all things through Christ who strengthens me, Philippians 4:13" "Spirit of procrastination there is a greater force in me than any evil force attempting to influence me" 1 John 4:4. "Spirit of procrastination, the word of God, says, "We must work the works of him who sent us while it is day; night is coming when no one can work" John 9:4. "Spirit of procrastination the word of God says that whatever my hand finds to do, do it with your might" Eccl. 9:10. 

"Spirit of procrastination, I reject your subtle influence that would usually cause me to neglect what I should be doing. I decree and declare to you that according to the word of God, Jesus Christ has Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross, there for your subtle evil influence WILL NOT WORK TODAY!" Colossians 2:14. "Spirits of procrastination and confusion I agree with the word against you that says all things should be done decently and in order" 1 Corinthians 14:40. "Spirit of procrastination I will obey God's word that says, do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it"—when you have it with you" Proverbs 3:28.

Friends, this is spiritual warfare against the spirit of procrastination. God will deliver you if you co-labor with him by decreeing his word. As a reminder, the process of deliverance begins and ends with KNOWLEDGE! Proverbs 11:9
