2 Corinthians 6:14-16 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial [the devil]? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
2 Corinthians 7 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) Therefore, since these [great] promises are ours, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates and defiles body and spirit, and bring [our] consecration to completeness in the [reverential] fear of God. Do open your hearts to us again [enlarge them to take us in]. We have wronged no one, we have betrayed or corrupted no one, we have cheated or taken advantage of no one. I do not say this to reproach or condemn [you], for I have said before that you are [nested] in our hearts, [and you will remain there] together [with us], whether we die or live. I have great boldness and free and fearless confidence and cheerful courage toward you; my pride in you is great. I am filled [brimful] with the comfort [of it]; with all our tribulation and in spite of it, [I am filled with comfort] I am overflowing with joy. For even when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no ease or rest, but we were oppressed in every way and afflicted at every turn—fighting and contentions without, dread and fears within [us]. But God, Who comforts and encourages and refreshes and cheers the depressed and the sinking, comforted and encouraged and refreshed and cheered us by the arrival of Titus. [Yes] and not only by his coming but also by [his account of] the comfort with which he was encouraged and refreshed and cheered as to you, while he told us of your yearning affection, of how sorry you were [for me] and how eagerly you took my part, so that I rejoiced still more. For even though I did grieve you with my letter, I do not regret [it now], though I did regret it; for I see that that letter did pain you, though only for a little while; Yet I am glad now, not because you were pained, but because you were pained into repentance [and so turned back to God]; for you felt a grief such as God meant you to feel, so that in nothing you might suffer loss through us or harm for what we did. For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death]. For [you can look back now and] observe what this same godly sorrow has done for you and has produced in you: what eagerness and earnest care to explain and clear yourselves [of all complicity in the condoning of incest], what indignation [at the sin], what alarm, what yearning, what zeal [to do justice to all concerned], what readiness to mete out punishment to the offender]! At every point you have proved yourselves cleared and guiltless in the matter. So although I did write to you [as I did], it was not for the sake and because of the one who did [the] wrong, nor on account of the one who suffered [the] wrong, but in order that you might realize before God [that your readiness to accept our authority revealed] how zealously you do care for us. Therefore we are relieved and comforted and encouraged [at the result]. And in addition to our own [personal] consolation, we were especially delighted at the joy of Titus, because you have all set his mind at rest, soothing and refreshing his spirit. For if I had boasted to him at all concerning you, I was not disappointed or put to shame, but just as everything we ever said to you was true, so our boasting [about you] to Titus has proved true also. And his heart goes out to you more abundantly than ever as he recalls the submission [to his guidance] that all of you had, and the reverence and anxiety [to meet all requirements] with which you accepted and welcomed him.  I am very happy because I now am of good courage and have perfect confidence in you in all things.
As I put myself in right standing and relationship with Christ I declare that death and hell no longer have a place to take or hold ground against my life, my children (if any) or future children born or adopted the Lord has for me.
Father, I beseech you, prepare my heart and my life for my future spouse. Prepare also the heart and life my future spouse. Indeed even the future spouse of each of my children and the generations ahead. I call for deliverance for each and that each also be educated, informed and understand about generational curses. Ensure each is cleansed from the iniquity of her/her bloodlines, and that marriages are entered into without the shadow of sin, iniquity, transgression and curses.
I pray they remain in that state.
Have each well prepared for the other, and I trust You and You alone to bring us together when we are adequately prepared for one another and at a time you choose.
According to Malachi 2:15 your desire is for godly offspring. Therefore, ensure my spouse and I together raise a family free from inherited generational curses, and train our children in the ways of the LORD. So that when they are old they will not have departed from it (Proverbs 22:6). I pray the same for each of my succeeding generations.
As one who is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I command every demonic spirit on assignment over my life to return to the place that Jesus made for you. I command you never to return. Do not come back. You are rejected.  I want nothing to do with you and I resist you!  I submit only to God. He alone has dominion over me. According to James 4:7 you must now flee from me, my home and everything that concerns to me or will concern to me.
Get out in Jesus name!
According to Job 22: 28, I decree the curses over my home, myself and my family, and all that pertains to us be broken now, in Jesus name.
I thank You, my Father, for having a way us to receive Your complete restoration and the blessings that have been held back.
I bow to You. According to Ephesians 5:18 I ask that Your Holy Spirit fill me.  Grant me wisdom according to James 1: 5 rant me godly wisdom to deal with this area of my life. I declare that you have given me a spirit of power love and a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7) to enable me to live according to Your commands.
In Jesus name, Amen.
