Renunciations relating to the Seventh-day Adventist Church

        On Ellen Gould Harmon White (26 November 1827 – 16 July 1915).
  • I renounce Ellen G. White (1827–1915) as a false prophetess;
  • I renounce Ellen G. White as the Spirit of Prophecy;
  • I renounce Ellen G. White as one being in possession of, or manifesting, the gift of prophecy imparted by the Holy Spirit at any time during her ministry, antedating or postdating the establishment of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1863, to the time of her death on Friday, 16 July 1915;
  • I renounce Ellen G. White as an infallible interpreter of scripture;
  • I renounce the writings of Ellen G. White as being in any way authoritative or divinely inspired, and thus deny that ‘[h]er writings speak with prophetic authority’ or that ‘her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth’;
  • I renounce Ellen G. White as ‘the Lord’s messenger’ or ‘the messenger of the Lord’.

        On the Seventh-day Adventist Church organisation.
  • I renounce the Seventh-day Adventist Church organisation as the remnant church of God, and rather affirm that the organisation was ultimately founded upon presumptuous, false prophecies concerning the timing of the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ by William Miller (1782–1849), and creative, false reinterpretation of those failed prophecies by some of his despondent followers, who refused to accept that they had been deceived;
  • I renounce the deception of the Seventh-day Adventist Church organisation;
  • I renounce the unrepentant, self-justifying spirit of the Seventh-day Adventist Church organisation.

        On 1844 and the investigative judgement / pre-Advent judgement.
  • I renounce any notion that the Lord Jesus Christ, in his resurrected, glorified body, is not presently seated at the right hand of the Father in the heavens, where he shall remain until his reappearance at the end of the age (i.e. the parousia; the second advent);
  • I renounce the Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of the investigative/pre-Advent judgement;
  • I renounce the suggestion that anything novel or significant occurred in redemptional or salvational history on Tuesday, 22 October 1844;
  • I renounce the notion that believers in Jesus Christ who rejected William Miller’s false prophecy concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ on earth in 1844 underwent any change in their salvational position or status before God.

        On the seventh-day Sabbath and the keeping of a specific day.
  • I renounce belief in present or future Sunday observance as the Mark of the Beast and seventh-day Sabbath-keeping as the seal of God;
  • I renounce seventh-day Sabbath-keeping as in any way binding, mandatory, or necessary in the new-covenant era;
  • I renounce seventh-day Sabbath-keeping as being in any way necessary for new-covenant believers in Jesus Christ to attain and/or retain salvation in this age, or inherit salvation in the age to come (eschatological salvation); or, in other words, I renounce seventh-day Sabbath-keeping as a ‘testing truth’ for new-covenant believers, and deny that honouring and refraining from work on the weekly, seventh-day Sabbath is in any way determinative of a person’s entrance into the kingdom of God in the new heavens and new earth, whether one shall inherit or be banished from God’s kingdom;
  • I renounce the necessity of keeping a specific day of the week in the new-covenant era, whether it be the seventh-day Sabbath or the first day (Sunday), for the purpose of attaining or retaining salvation, or growing in holiness/Christ-likeness (progressive sanctification);
  • I renounce seventh-day Sabbath observance as a definitive sign or mark of allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ, for the end of the law is Christ, resulting in righteousness for everyone believing in him (Romans 10.4).

Final renunciations
  • I renounce the desires of my oppressors and all the oppressors of the saints/holy ones of God, human and non-human, natural and preter-/supernatural, who seek to harm, harass, hinder, abuse, torment, enslave, and destroy those who would follow the Lord Jesus Christ;
  • I renounce my biological sibling, a male, as an evil, conscienceless, contemptuous, parasitic, shameless, self-serving abuser, malignant narcissist, fraud, deceiver, liar, slanderer, vile oppressor, child of the Devil, and reprobate (an individual whom scripture describes as one devoid of natural affection), a person who has delighted in oppression, unrighteousness, lawlessness, and harming others, and treated my entire biological family with cruelty, disdain, abuse (including emotional, mental, and verbal forms of abuse), exploitation, manipulation, mockery, vilification, and wickedness, and has returned evil for good since youth (may the Lord repay him according to his every worthless word, work, and intention, and may God bring his justice to pass against the aforementioned vile human being speedily, for he is an enemy of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, and under the wrath, condemnation, and curse of God)*;
  • I renounce all strongholds, demonic portals, and access points of the Adversary and his emissaries whereby the powers of darkness may gain, maintain, and/or regain legal entry into my life;
  • I renounce the fear of human beings;
  • I renounce the fear of the powers of darkness;
  • I renounce the fear of fallen angels and/or demons;
  • I renounce the fear of the Evil One;
  • I renounce any and all idols;

  • I renounce any and all persons, places, and things which seek to hinder and usurp wholehearted allegiance to God the Father and his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, in my heart, mind, and life;
  • I renounce the will of the Slanderer for my life.

 
        The Satan is the Adversary. He is opposed to God the Father, his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. He is a liar and a murderer, and the originator of both practices. I renounce Satan as my enemy, and the enemy of God and Christ. I renounce the kingdom of the Evil One and the dominion of darkness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, whom God the Father has raised from the dead and highly exalted above all powers, rulers, authorities, and dominions, having given him a name above every name, and all power and authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28.18; John 3.35; Ephesians 1.1823; Philippians 2.811; Colossians 1.15–20; 2.9–10; 1 Peter 3.22; Revelation 1.1718). Amen.

        Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5.20). He is King, Lord, Saviour, and Redeemer. The blood of the Son of God cleanses me from every sin (1 John 1.7). Amen.


A prayer for the freedom of the people of God
        May all the enemies and haters of God, who seek to hinder, harm, abuse, exploit, slander, and oppress those belonging to the Lord Jesus Christ be thwarted in their evil designs. Father God, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, set your people free to serve you. Grant them protection from the Adversary and his emissaries, and deliverance from the evil oppression of your enemies. Bring your justice soon to pass upon those who hate you, your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and who seek to harm and destroy your people. Repay them according to their works. Amen.

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, / And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. / This is the heritage of the servants of [Yahweh], / And their righteousness is from Me,” Says [Yahweh]. 
(Isaiah 54.17, NKJV  
 

So he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as [Yahweh] had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone. Now [Yahweh] descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of [Yahweh]. And [Yahweh] passed before him and proclaimed, “[Yahweh], [Yahweh] God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” 

(Exodus 34.47, NKJV)

 

Baptism, […], now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. 

(1 Peter 3.2122, ESV)

 

For this objective the Son of God was made visible: in order that he might annul, break up, destroy, dissolve, loose, undo the works of the Slanderous One. 
(1 John 3.8cd, ARAR§)

 

But if we may keep walking in the light just as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from every conceivable sin. 
(1 John 1.7, LNT)


Notes
        *  Proviso (24 Aug. 2023): This disownment is binding in the spiritual realm, irrespective of the laws, statutes, and expectations of society. Furthermore, this renouncement shall not be revoked unless or until the specified individual should truly turn from evil, from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God, and bear fruit worthy of metanoia.
        †  New King James Version (1982). I have here rendered the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) as ‘Yahweh’ in square brackets, thus replacing the conventional, compromised rendering still retained in the NKJV and most English Bible translations, namely ‘the LORD’ (sic).
