Prayer Focus for Today: Grace to keep Making Right Choices.

The Apostle Paul said in 

1 Corinthians 13:11 AMPC,   “When I was a child, 

I talked like a child, 

I thought like a child, 

I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man,

 I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.”

Rather unfortunately, not many people grow into adulthood, mentally or emotionally, even though they look like an adult physically.

But their lack of mental development becomes evident, when they continue to make wrong choices, and expect different outcomes.

The choices you made yesterday are the reality of where you are living today.

 And the choices you make today will determine  the outcome of your tomorrow.

A major principle in life is that ‘as long as this earth remains, seedtime and harvest will never cease’.  ‘And what you sow is what you harvest’ ( Read Genesis 8:22, Galatians 6:7).

Because God knows how life-defining our choices are, He laid out very plainly in His Word:

  “I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live” Deuteronomy 30:19 AMPC.

Your choices not only affect you, it crosses generation lines to affect your descendants. Just as the choices made by your parents piloted your suffering, sicknesses, sin, shame, etc.

Even though most spiritual, and mental health issues, have their root in parental choices, you have the power to stop it, from affecting your children, and the generations following.  

For example, if your parents were idolaters, gossips, planless- spenders, liberals,  stiff-necked etc, you have unwittingly learned their mannerisms, responses, attitude, behavior etc,. And it has become ingrained in you, 

You have become their ‘mini-me.’ not only have you inherited genes,  you are also the recipient of their failures, curses,  blessings , etc, unless you intentionally chart a different course for your life.

Your upbringing, or family orientation become evident in your career choice,  marriage, diet, problem solving skills, etc.

Even if you are born again, 

unless you take a stand against those learned evil behaviors, by appropriating the Finished Work of Christ, and intentionally make  right choices, the circle of evil won’t stop.

The power to change the narrative  and direction of your life and nation, is in the choices you make and your commitment to change. 

The same principles apply to nations who continue to execute policies that are contrary to God’s Word: the circle of evil will worsen- it never gets better. 

We are at a time in the world where evil is gaining ground: because Believers are making choices based on selfishness, party affiliations, and candidate biases. 

All these strengthen the circle of evils and unleash economic hardship, sufferings, slavery, rebellions, sexual immoralities, etc,  on the generations following.

Before you act, stop and think. 

On who or what will you be basing your choice on- selfish-self-interest, biases, affiliations, or on the Word of God.?

As Christians, we should not be under bondage to the spirit of error to continue in its oppression (Read 1 John 4:1-6).

Instead, we should prayerfully counter all lies with the Spirit of Truth and work out our salvation with awe and trembling.

Refuse to be victimized again!

 Deliverance from the spirit of error:

1). Thank God for the ability to make right choices  based on your new status as a child of God.

2).  Acknowledge your biases, selfishness, Bigotry, and projectionism, etc

2b). affirm God’s forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness. 

3. Command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, the spirit of error, and all the evil spirits influencing wrong decision making, selective amnesia, and disobedience, as well as those confusing, manipulating,  and controlling your choice making abilities.

4). Affirm that the Spirit of Truth is at work in your life and that God holds the World by the Word of His power and you are obedient to Him

5). Declare that you have chosen to serve God with your life, for life, and have been redeemed; therefore sins, curses, failures, rejection, sicknesses, mediocrity and all other evils cannot cross generational lines to torment, oppress or afflict you and yours.

 6). Declare that Abraham, your ancestor by faith, chose to believe in God, and he became known as the father of faith,  and through him you are now able to participate in the blessings of God in Him (See Genesis 15:6,Romans 4:3-5).

7). Pray for the people of your nation  and command the activities of the spirit of error to stop at once.

 9). Release upon your nation, state, county, city, and community, the anointing of God’s Spirit that enables righteousness.

10). Declare that the reproaches of sin are rolled away from your nation and righteousness now reigns 

11). Thank God that as the spiritual descendant of Abraham, you have chosen 

 life and blessings.

12). Proclaim that you have withdrawn support from those who are vehemently opposed to the Word of God, so that you and your bloodlines will not participate in the outcomes of their sins, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly,  July 28th, 2024
