To you belong all the power and all the glory. There is no God but you. You are everything to me. Master, Saviour, Redeemer, Healer, Comforter, Teacher, Friend, Father, and Protector.

I come before you with a heavy heart. Emotions well up inside me and I am afraid they may boil over into words and actions I do not intend. I place these at your feet. I place them at your feet knowing that you care for me and that You are touched by my wounds and my tears. In Jesus, you experienced hurt from those you loved. You know how it feels to be rejected by your own. Through Jesus, you  share in my sufferings.

Through Christ, you have borne my griefs and sorrows. Through your Spirit, you guide and instruct me. Through our word you console me. You have promised to fight my battles and I turn command over to you as Commander-In-Chief. You alone see beyond the visible. You know the fate of those who war against me.

In Christ, I am a new creature. The old way of living is gone. I no longer look to others for approval, status, or meaning, but I accept that I am who you say I am:  Beloved, a son or daughter, a priest, your righteousness, your heir, a citizen of your kingdom, the apple of your eye.

I accept who I am. A child of the God who is pure, unadulterated love. I will manifest this kind of  love everywhere, anytime, to everyone, and in every situation. I will never return evil for evil for I am one who blesses rather than condemns.  I will not return curses for reviling, but I will pray for everyone. I will fight the impulse to retaliate when I am  stricken and wounded.  Instead, I will nurse the wounds of others – especially those in the family of God.

This is hard for me. I can not do it on my own. I await a quickening from your Holy Spirit. I await your power from on high to fill me and strengthen me to resist the temptations of Satan. I even have power over my tongue. That small but powerful lump of flesh which can destroy or build up,  agitate or comfort, wound or heal.

I am aware of the deceitful ways of Satan. I have only to resist him and he will flee. He is defeated. Christ crushed his head. Like Jesus, he has nothing over me. Let him slither away to wait for that opportune time which I know will never come.

I have three weapons against which Satan is powerless. I can have compassion upon those who mistreat me. I forgive those who have wounded me, and I pray for those who curse and use me.

Abba Father, if there is anything within me which is holding me back from walking in the Spirit fully, reveal it to me. Purge me. Wash me with hyssop. Not for my sins – praise you, they were dealt with on the cross – but renew in me a right mind and spirit. Let no bitter root take hold in me.

I will guard my heart. I will not let the self  the flesh rule over me. Anger will not rule. Shame will not rule. Hurt will not rule, Disappointment with mere men will not move me. But I will manifest the fruit of the spirit:
Love,  joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and  self-control.

I will be: patient, kind,  not envious. not a braggart,  not puffed up or self absorbed; not rude, not self-serving,  not easily angered nor resentful.

I will look beyond me and fight any injustice with love. I will rejoice in the truth.  I will bear, believe, hope and, endure all things.

Your Love for me is long and wide and deep and high and it never ends. I thank you. I am grateful for your mercy and kindness because you have not dealt with me as I deserve but according to your grace.

In Jesus Name, Amen

I am immersed from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet in your love. You are omnipresent: Your love for me is visible everywhere I look. I can’t escape your love. I can’t see past your love. I can’t look beneath or over it. I feel your embrace in my spirit.

In my spirit man, I will forever praise my God and Savior – yet part of me is downcast and disturbed. I will align my mind and my body and my soul with my spirit. I will trust in your word. Your word is truth. Your word is life. Your words comfort and build me up.

Your word says that I am beloved. I am your child. I am your righteousness. I am holy, a saint, a priest, and a minister in your kingdom.

Your words assure me that you care for my every need. I am not anxious over food, or clothing, or shelter – these things you provide. You desire that I live a full abundant life. That I enjoy this life in the flesh which is a blessing here and now. You desire that I prosper and be in health.

I can lay all my worries and troubles at your feet in prayer because I know you care for me. You answer all my prayers because I ask according to your will and in faith.

You O Lord, are a shield of protection for me. You are my glory. Your lift my head up out of despair. I cry out to you and you hear me. I lay down to rest and you give me sweet sleep. I wake up refreshed and expecting because you sustain me.

There are many troubles, problems, difficulties, annoyances, calamities about me. Others may think it is hopeless, but I do not. Others may want to give up. But I will not. Others will doubt your presence but I will praise your name.
I am not afraid though evil appears to strike from every corner. I am a citizen  Your kingdom. You are the only God and the only Power. And I am your precious one.

If I am troubled, I know my afflictions are only the pathway to an even greater  and eternal glory. I don’t faint nor give up because inwardly, I am being renewed.  I don’t look on circumstances and that which can be seen, but on things eternal.

My hope in you Lord is my anchor and my foundation. My eyes are opened. I know the hope of your calling. I bask and I revel and I give thanks for the glory and the riches that are mine as an inheritance of the saints.

To You belong all the glory and honor and praise.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman
A woman who was hurt and torn by parents and siblings who seemed to be so needy but beyond her ability to help. But who resolves to raise her children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a young woman
who has witness devastating turmoil in her family. Unfaithfulness, selfishness, bitterness, lack of love. But she looks within finds the God given strength to smile. To excel at school. To pray and meditate upon the word. She has learned that there is one who will never leave her nor forsake her. Who has nothing but thoughts of love and peace towards her and promises her a future and a hope.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman
who is little in her own eyes but who allows the very big God within her to guide here and direct her as she works as a resource and a consolation to people all over the community.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man
who faces a number of mountain high obstacles to enjoying a peaceful, productive, and spiritual life for himself and his children. Though at times the the way seems dim, he does not give up. He trusts in God who is working within and so he keeps fighting, he keeps struggling. As as he does, the light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter and brighter and larger and larger and nearer and nearer.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a woman
who as struggled with past relationships and been hurt. Though the hurt was in a public fashion, she did not withdraw into the shadows, but launched a church and a ministry which is poised to bless the world.

What is your parable of the Kingdom?

My Father in heaven. Precious Holy Spirit within, to you belongs all the honor and glory and praise.

• I sanctify my mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.
• I set apart my  mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.
• I reserve for your use and your good pleasure my mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.
• I trust you with my my mind soul and body– My spirit already belongs to you.

My faith is is in you. You have proved yourself faithful. You have been merciful, gracious, generous, loving, caring, nurturing and a patient Father to me. You have been my provider and my source. You have met my needs.
You Abba, know me as intimately as is possible because your Spirit is within me.

• If I had any limitations, you would know.
• If I had any weakness, you would know.
• If I was truly unworthy, you would know.
• If I was defective and unfit,you would know.

Your word Abba tells me That I am precious in your sight. I am accepted in the beloved. My spirit agrees. I am more than a conqueror through Christ. I am a king and a priest. I am a child of God, joint heir with Jesus.

I am righteous. IN Christ, sin has been dealt with. My sins no longer are a barrier to your love and Acceptance in me. Jesus made this possible. Nothing can separate my from your love.

As a citizen of your kingdom, I have nothing to fear. In my Father’s kingdom, there is only one power – any other power exists only in my mind. Demons are powerless against me. I can cast down and cast aside so-called powers and principalities. I have only to submit to God and resist the devil. That being called  Satan, Lucifer, the Serpent will flee if I but resist him.

If God is on my side, what can men, angels, demons, terrorists, liars, gossipers, schemers, racists, sexists, or any thing do to me?

I will use the spiritual weapon you have graciously blessed me with to cast down every argument or imagination or thought which says to me that:

• The Word of My Father is not true.
• That He does not love me
• That I am not His child
• That Jesus death and His life was not sufficient to deliver me out of the kingdom of darkness.
• That God does not hear my prayers.
• That even if God hears my prayers, He will not answer
• That God is not my comfort and consolation
• That God has anything but thoughts of peace towards me: to give me and expected end.
• That my Father cannot and will not supply all my needs according to his riches in glory.

Whenever a thought comes to my mind that I cannot absolutely, positively, completely, without reservation rely up you for my EVERY NEED, I will cast the thought down., trample upon it, cut it into shreds, grind it to powder, burn it and scatter the ashes to the winds.

There is only one King in My Father’s Kingdom.  And to him belongs  glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
