A Powerful Prayer For Starting Your Day

Dear Heavenly Father, 

I honor You as my sovereign Lord. I acknowledge that You are always present with me. You are the only all-powerful and wise God. You are kind and loving in all Your ways. I love You and thank You that I am united with Christ and spiritually alive in Him. 

By your grace, I choose not to love the world, and because I am crucified with Christ, I follow the teachings of the Bible, and I reckon or determine that I am indeed dead to sin and alive to God. I crucify the flesh and all its passions. I submit to God and subject my passions to the Almighty God. I thank You for the life that I now have in Christ, and I ask You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may live my life free from sin.

I declare my dependence upon You. I surrender to You,  and I take my stand against Satan and all his lying ways. I choose to believe the truth, and I refuse to be discouraged. You are the God of all hope, and I am confident that You will meet my needs as I seek to live according to Your Word. I express with confidence that I can live a responsible godly life through Christ who strengthens me.

I put on the whole Armor of God, and clothe myself in Christ Jesus: I put on the Helmet of Salvation, as I give my mind and brain to God. I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness, as I give my heart to God. I put on the belt of God's truth, the only truth that is truth, and I do this so that I can walk in Freedom in Christ.  I shod my feet with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace, as I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not to my on understanding, and I acknowledge my CREATOR so that He will make my path straight today and everyday. I take hold of God's gift of Faith -- The Shield of Faith --- so that I will drown the flaming arrows of the evil one.  I take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and I am determined to wield it today because it is living, powerful and sharper than a two edged sword that pierces to the dividing of the spirit and the soul and the joints and the marrow, and it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. I take this Word up, by faith, because it makes me wise for salvation. It is God breathed. It is profitable. It informs me what God wants me to know. It tells me what God wants me to stop. It keeps me on God's course for my life. It instructs me in the right way to live.  And it furnishes me with what I need to do the good works that God produces in me.

I now take my stand against Satan, I submit myself to The True and The Living God. IN THE NAME OF JESUS,  I RESIST the Devil,  and I command him and all his evil spirits to be bound to silence and depart from me and all my loved ones.  I present my body as a living sacrifice to God and renew my mind by the living Word of God in order that I may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect.

I pray  these things in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
