for each of the five
temperaments

22. 1.
Melancholy -
loners with
active minds
will battle
rejection

23. Response:
"I have forgiven and released judgments
against my father/mother. You spirit of
rejection you get out of here and leave
me alone, in Jesus name. I am a
daughter/son of the King, and You will
never leave me nor forsake me."

24. 2. Supines -
servant
hearts who
expect
people to
know their
needs often
battle guilt
and shame

25. Response:
"Yes, I did that, but my Father has forgiven
me, cleansed me of my sins and
remembers them no more. You spirit of
guilt and shame, you get out of here and
leave me alone in Jesus name. There is no
condemnation for those found in Christ,
and I am found in Him."

26. 3. Sanguines - sunshine
people who love attention
often seek love in the
wrong places

27. Response:
"Yes, Joe did abandon and reject me, but I have forgiven
him and released all judgments. I am a daughter of the
King, and He has a godly husband for me. You spirit of
self-pity (or whatever else they discern), you get out of
here and leave me alone in Jesus name. Thank you,
Father, that you will meet all of my needs out of your
glorious riches. You will be my husband, Jesus until the
chosen one comes into my life."

28. Choleric - take charge folks who have little grace
for others emotions or weaknesses

29. Response:
"Lord help me to see Hank as you do.
Thank you that I have your heart for him
Lord and I will respond to Him as you
would. You spirit of impatience, you get out
of here and leave me alone. Thank you,
Lord, that you have taken out my heart of
stone and given me a heart of flesh."

30. Phelgmatics - Low energy and passiveness make
them susceptible to stubbornness

31. Response:
"Thank you, Lord, for setting me free. I am yielded
to the Lordship of Jesus in my life, and I recognize
that I am under the authority in this office. Mary is
my supervisor, and I purpose to clean up my office
(or whatever) as she has asked me to do. You spirit
of stubbornness, you get out of here and leave me
alone in Jesus name. Lord, I obey this directive as
unto You."
