What Lies Are You Partnering With?

As an Air Force Veteran during the Vietnam Era, it took over forty years to realize I had PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Healthcare at the Veteran’s hospitals was not the best and the rules that govern the treatments of patients were totally different. I had a girlfriend, who had broken both her arms in a bicycle accident. She was forced to go to work each day with no one to help her bathe, brush her teeth, etc.

I didn’t realize the impact that had on my thinking. I had gotten a sun burn while stationed in the Philippines. My sergeant said, “You are government property. When you get a sun burn, I can write you up for damaging government property.”  Between those words of that sergeant and my girlfriend’s treatment, I got a victim mentality. I felt trapped with no where to turn if I needed healthcare.

Around the year 2000, I got into the Veteran’s Hospital Healthcare system. I wasn’t service connected which means I got minimal treatment. I was just thrilled to have a place to go in case of emergencies. I moved to Texas in 2013 and found out I had a rare form of breast cancer. The Veteran’s hospital saved my life with cancer treatments.

Why am I telling you this? I want you to understand how things you walk through affect your mindset. Because I was at the mercy of the Veteran’s Administration for my treatment when they insisted, I have breast implants I felt forced to comply. I told them I did not want implants, but it appeared I had no right to object. This resulted in ten years of many operations to remove the ruptured implant and multiple biopsies because of the silicone leaking into my lymph nodes.

In a dream, God brought back these trauma memories when I was stationed at Clark AFB in the Philippines. Below is the prayer of deliverance to break the lie of being a victim. I added a revised prayer so everyone can use it to fit different traumas.

Ruth’s Prayer and Declaration

I am done being a victim of the Veteran’s Administration and Healthcare! You are my source for healing and wholeness. I am done with submitting to a broke system that thinks veterans are their property. I break that curse and ask you to forgive me for submitting to becoming property of the government. I no longer will partner with that lie. I am Your kid. You love me and provide every resource I need which includes healing, health, family, and power through Your word and Holy Spirit.

I declare all seeds planted with this lie are being uprooted right now because of the price Jesus paid. I ask for God’s seeds to come forth and bring a harvest. I am not a property to be owned but God’s kid who is loved. I tap into my Father’s resources that will make the world’s wisdom seem foolish. I choose to walk God’s path and ask for Your favor, grace, and open doors to finish this assignment. Close the doors that need to be closed and open the right doors.

I shake the dust from my feet and choose to move on. The Blood of Jesus covers my past and provides protection for my future. Amen!

I am prayer that as God reveals memories that caused you to believe a lie about yourself this prayer will replace those wounds with your God give identity.

Prayer and Declaration Over Past Traumas

Father God,

I am done being a victim of the _________________________ (abusive family member, boss/co-worker, spouse, ex-spouse, religious abuse, etc.)! You are my source for healing and wholeness. I am done with submitting to a _______________________ (nightmares of trauma, worry about what others think, not having a voice, or abandonment, etc.). I break that curse and ask you to forgive me for submitting to ____________________ (being a victim, keeping quiet, protecting myself, drinking, etc.). I no longer will partner with that lie. I am Your kid. You love me and provide every resource I need which includes healing, health, family, and power through Your word and Holy Spirit.

I declare all seeds planted with this lie are being uprooted right now because of the price Jesus paid. I ask for God’s seeds to come forth and bring a harvest. I am not ____________________ (property to be owned, stupid, bad spouse, or lazy, etc.) but God’s kid who is loved. I tap into my Father’s resources that will make the world’s wisdom seem foolish. I choose to walk God’s path and ask for Your favor, grace, and open doors to finish this assignment. Close the doors that need to be closed and open the right doors.

I shake the dust from my feet and choose to move on. The Blood of Jesus covers my past and provides protection for my future. Amen!

Update!

Just to let you know, I have wonderful doctors at the Veteran’s Administration Medical Centers. They have update so many things since the 1970’s. God restored my voice and influence with these wonderful healthcare professionals. Even though I had to go through many things, it has paved the way for other women veterans to receive the treatment they need. God is good and uses every trauma we walk through to become a badge of victory for His kingdom purposes.

Blessings to everyone!
