If you love your Homeland and desire to see changes, you gotta pray earnestly.
#Prayer4Today:
Father God, in accordance with your Word, I ask that you give me my Homeland (mention the name) as my inheritance and that my domain stretch beyond continental and national boundaries.
I ask also that your grace that brings salvation will appear to the non-Christians in my Homeland.
I receive my inheritance and command all the plans of the rebellious to be frustrated and their foolish plots to be futile.
As the power brokers of the world rise up to hold their summit, and the rulers scheme and confer together against God’s people in these lands of my inheritance, they will fail woefully and God in His Majesty will laugh at them and mock at their madness.
Father God, I affirm that You are the righteous judge of the world and you will arise in the fierceness and fury of your anger to settle the issues and terrify them to death.
We ask also Father, that you reveal yourself to them and bring them to repentance, fir only Your goodness can lead them to repentance.
All the evil spirits working in the rebellious leaders and rulers are to leave at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
I command all their satanic structures and infrastructures to be destroyed and their captives set free, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Prioritize Godly values above politics, race, gender, economics, family, and general opinions.
Bible Base:
Psalms 1:1, 9:17
In the model prayer, Jesus Christ taught us to ask the Father. “ Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done on earth…” (Matthew 6:10).
Which means, we are part of the workforce for establishing the God-Kind of government in our world.
Furthermore, when Jesus Christ received “All authority in heaven and earth, He delegated that same power and authority to us, and gave us the power of attorney to use His name as well.( Read Matthew 28:18, Luke 10:19, John 14:12-14, Mark 16:17)
No Believer should be wimpy, fearful, confused, intimidated or manipulated
In the season that we are now, it is important to clearly define who you are and WHO you belong to.
As a Christian, your first loyalty is to God, and every other person takes 3rd place after you.
You cannot love your neighbors or your government, more than God or more than you love yourself.
You must watch out for yourself and pray (Matthew 26:41).
If you love the Lord God with all your heart, passion, energy and every thought, then, pleasing and doing His will, should take precedence over everything and everyone (Read Luke 10:27, Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30-31).
God’s will is for His Kingdom to come and His will be done here on earth, as it is in heaven.
Personal Testimony:
Years ago, while doing missions in Africa, a situation arose that put the faith and loyalty of Christians on test.
The political puppeteer knew the power of the religious leaders over their followers, their lack of morality and disloyalty to Christ Jesus.
These satanic agents strategically met with some leaders of the major religious groups (Christians and Muslims). And the compromise candidates were chosen- president (muslim) vice (Christian).
This happened at a time when the ruling president was a Christian, and still had one more term.
The then president, a God-honoring Christian, refused to accept the Islamization agendas, and manipulations of the ‘church-fathers’.
Unfortunately, the pharisaical leaders compromised their beliefs, and joined with those whose policies and values do not align with God’s values.
Majority of the “church-fathers” turned their church-buildings, and campgrounds, into political campaign venues.
Christians sold out their faith and loyalty to God, for a morsel of food.
These modern day Pharisees, “ the useful idiots” (as the non-christians call them), were given money to mobilize their members to come out enmasse to vote for the non-christian.
The ‘sheep’ were deceived and manipulated to focus on non-essentials while ignoring God’s will and values.
They did not understand that there was an Islamization agenda that was being pushed by the puppeteer, hence the choice of the presidential candidate.
Look at your nation.
1). Who are being pushed as presidential candidates?
2). Do their values conflict with God’s world views, values and His will?
3). Are you being victimized with false evidence, so that you will compromise your faith and loyalty to God?
4. Do you not know that persecution is an aspect of loyalty to God and that God will never fail you?
Before my people compromised, I was not silent. I met with some Christian leaders and discussed God’s perfect will with them.
They said to me, it was too late, the decision was already made. I wept.
God said to me, “quit crying, read how Samuel thought they rejected him, whereas in actual fact, they rejected ME”.
God told me that they will suffer and cry out but won’t repent.
And their sufferings will continue until they repent, then HE will hear and rescue them.
* I have these in my WordPress blog.
The first 4 years were horrible, but God protected those who did not compromise.
Once again, the people cried out to God, and like before, they fell for the god of money and politics, and the manipulations of the media and religious leaders.
After 8 years, they cried again, under the yokes of oppression- churches were bombed, pastors were burnt alive, christian girl-schools were ravaged and the girls abducted to become sexslaves or suicide bombers. Kidnappings and highway banditry increased.
As for the useful idiots who allowed their personal ambition to conflict with God’s world views and values, some died prematurely, some are sick and have lost respect and integrity.
However, the people who blindly followed their unrighteous leaders are groaning and sighing (See Proverbs 29:2)
Your Part:
Do not be a useful idiot.
Refuse to compromise your faith in God with loyalty to sects, family, party, ideologies, race, gender, or popular opinions.
Instead, look for policies and values that relate to your Biblical Beliefs and Godly standards.
Remember, “we are ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
Let us Pray:
Father God, we love you with every atom of our beings and are committed to upholding your values in our world.
We stand against all unrighteousness in agreement with your Word that all unrighteousness is sin. (1 John 5:17)
And in repentance, we humbly acknowledge that we were blinded by the gods of color and politics, gender bias, fear of the unknown and ignorance.
We ask and receive mercy, forgiveness of sins, and cleansings from all unrighteousness, in accordance with your Word (2 Chronicles 4:17, Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1: 9)
I commit to be associated with your worldviews for the enthronement of righteousness in our world.
Let Your kingdom come O God and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We command to stay cast down at once, all philosophies, policies, ideologies, values, etc., that will alienate or dissociate people emotionally from You.
We stand against the forces of evils that are interfering with the decision making abilities of the people, and confusing them with lies, skin color, gender, and deceptive policies that will eventually dehumanize.
Help us O God, to not compromise our Godly values in our bid to please others.
Keep working ‘in your’ people, Father God, both to do your will and not to fall for the deceptive lies of satan and his human agents.
We proclaim our liberty in Christ, and refuse to go under any yoke of oppression in any disguise.
Thank you Father, for exposing and destroying the hold of satan over our emotions, reasoning, and will power.
Thank You also for creating confusion among your enemies, and dismantling the structures and infrastructures of propaganda.
We bow before Your thrones in surrender to Your will and refuse to comprise our faith, values and loyalty to You, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ❤️

Finally, we have new roofing after the tornado damage that hit Rogers Ark., over Memorial Day weekend.
We are absolutely thankful to God that one of the great reminders of that traumatic event is finally gone.
I can understand how unsafe and insecure people feel with those tarps over their rooftops!
Some homes were completely wrecked and had to be rebuilt.
With God’s help, I pray these painful memories will be deleted and replaced with happier ones for everyone of us.
I am all emotional as I remember that night- the tornado siren, the sound of the storm and the wind on the trees, the blackout,and the storm watcher calling out the name of our street, telling us the tornado was upon us, as we strained to hear him from our cell phone.
And the sudden eerie silence!
That was my first tornado experience. And God comforted me: none of my outdoor hanging plants fell. All the trees and limbs fell around my plants, but not a leaf dropped from my plants.
But God…
I pray for all those whose homes are still undergoing repairs, that it will be done swiftly, and that their lives will get better too.
And for those whose homes and businesses were damaged, I pray that they receive all the aid they need, and for God to show up strong for them.
God bless everyone who rose up to help the people of Rogers, and those of Benton county.
We are grateful.
May we not return this favor to you.
I pray that you will always have support and never be perplexed in life and that God, in His infinite Goodness, will remember you all for good, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D #TheSpiritualWarrior , August 23rd 2024
Review and Restoration of Godly standards so that my life will line up with His perfect will and purposes.
Bible Base:
Genesis 18:25
Jeremiah 31
Romans 8:29
According to James many prayers are unanswered ‘because you ask amiss’ James 4:3.
And we know also that the Holy Spirit helps us to pray according to God’s will (Romans 8:26-27).
This prayer will help you pray strategically and effectively, because All my prayers are done by promptings of the Holy Spirit.
Who this prayer is for:
If you really have no idea how to proceed any further with your life, finances, marriage, children, relationships, etc, because of ill-luck, illnesses, disappointments, impending financial crises, etc, continue reading.
Personal Testimony:
Several years ago, I was having the worst years of my life. The more I prayed, the worse things were for me.
My Life was spiraling into a dark abyss and I did not want to go there.
I believed in my heart that God has a purpose for my life. I know that God has invested so much in me, and it seemed out of character for Him to just stand back and let His investments go to waste.
As I made one more attempt to tug at His mercy, I cried out, “God, please help me, am so tired ”
Then I heard God’s voice in my spirit say, “Ask Me to judge your situation”.
Wow!!!! That changed my perspective! I went ballistic with prayers that touched all aspects and facets of my life.
And my life changed as I worked with God and made the necessary lifestyle changes.
Your Part:
You must be ready to work on your issues with God, as He guides you into how to live a life that will align with His will and purposes for you.
Part 2 : Be ready to work out your Deliverance.
#PrayerPoints4Today:
1). Thank God for the salvation of your Soul, and for His grace that enables you to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 8:29)
2). Reaffirm your faith in Him, admit that you have not done righteously, and affirm that you receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness – 1 John 1:9
3) Present your issues to Him, e. g:
3a). Ask Him to review/judge your Health, for HE is the Great Physician.
3b). Mention the Sicknesses, symptoms, diagnoses, prognosis, etc.
3c). Reference to His Word in Exodus 15:26, Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24
3d). If as you are reading the Bible references, you are convicted in spirit of what you did wrong to attract the presenting issues, repent immediately, and write it down for follow-up! (Be ready to work on you!)
3e). Then appropriate (claim/personalize) the Finished Work of Christ (Read Romans 5:21).
3f). Ask that His mercy should prevail over judgment, and thank Him for bringing correction into your life.
affirm that He is working in you both to will, and to do His good pleasure.
3g). Declare that in Him you live, move, and have your being, therefore, HE has full reins(control) of your life, to make it align with His will and purposes for you.
And simply say, Father, do right by me, you are righteous, and I am your righteousness in Christ Jesus
3h) Thank Him for the supernatural healings of your body, bones, mind, sight, teeth, heart, and whatever health challenges you were having.
Believe in your heart that God has done right by you:
Change your language from “I have…., to, ‘I WAS diagnosed with…but NOW, my healing is done in Christ, and I’m Overcoming the symptoms.”
Read 1 John 5:4 – we are overcomers!
3i) Spend some time singing songs of worship and praises to him.
3j) Don’t go back to the old lifestyle, change eating habits and lifestyle, so that your condition will not worsen (Read Matthew 12:43-45)
Instead, incorporate changes that will undergird your health!
4: Follow the above guidelines to address your marriage, finances, children’s life, prayer life, Bible life, Grandkids etc.
God is not subject to the laws of nature because He is Transcendent (preeminent or supreme).
We see his Transcendency or surpassing greatness, when He intervenes in our natural world to heal those whose diseases have no cure, or when opponents suddenly fade out, and when imminent job loss is converted to promotion, etc.
There are many ways that God supernaturally intervenes to help His children. He is such a Loving Father.
The story of the woman with the “issue of blood” is an example of how God’s Presence causes transformation (Mark 5:25-34)
In yesterday’s “Prayer Focus”, I mentioned that although God is unchanging, when His presence enters your issues: your conditions, circumstances or situations, must change to reflect His glory.
Faith in God is the link to His power of transformation.
The woman believed in her heart all she heard about Jesus Christ, and made up her mind to be a beneficiary. And her lifetime was changed.
If you have exhausted all options, and yet solutions are elusive, and the problems are multiplying, STOP, PRAY and ACT in faith.
This is the time to arise and go forward. Stop crying and reach out in faith to receive God’s help!
Let Us KNOCK:
(Matthew 7:7-8. Luke 11-9-13)
*Our Father and our God,we acknowledge that you are God transcendent whose greatness surpasses our imagination.
*We affirm that everything in creation came into existence by your Word, and everything in creation is subject, and obedient to the Word that created them.
*And we are grateful that we are born again by Your indestructible, and incorruptible Word that abides forever, and everything in, and about us is subject to your surpassing greatness.
*Therefore Father, be God in this challenging situation ( mention your problems) we absolutely look up to you for the solutions.
*Answer us speedily with supernatural favors, unlimited goodness, expander mercies, and superabundance grace.
*Only your surpassing Greatness can come into this situation and all protocols will be bypassed for our sake.
Do what only you can do, my faith looks up to you, my Father.
*I affirm that You are my God and king, the God of all flesh, and nothing is too difficult for you to do.
* Father, I believe that, just as You supernaturally sent ravens with supplies to Elijah in the wilderness, you can use anyone or anything to meet my needs, and they will act with speed and. obedience.
I affirm that in Christ Jesus, I am accurately and appropriately positioned to receive Your extraordinary help, and supernatural interventions in my affairs.
Thank You for speedy and real time answers to prayers O God, as your power and presence comes into this situation (mention your issues).
Thank you for demonstrating Your magnificence and awesomeness through this situation so that the people will know that indeed, You arr more than enough for me.
We believe that You are for us, and are causing all things to Work together for our good. We love You Father.
Our faith in you negates all the influences and satanic machinations against us.
We thank You for arising to our rescue, and for your manifested presence that has frustrated the tokens of liars, and negated all ideologies and plans, that were programmed to cause delays and denials for us.
Thank you Father, for although there is a casting down and frustration in our world, You have lifted and encouraged us, and seated us in heavenly places, so we can enjoy the benefits of salvation.
Thank You God, for making a clear distinction between us and those who are serving other gods, so that we become the epistles they read.
Our life continually praises you, For you are our God and King, the Strong and Breasted One, Our hope and helper. The Most High God of all flesh.
We are grateful that you have supernaturally intervened and our situations, circumstances and conditions are reflecting your beauty and magnificence, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥ ️.

“And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” Romans 5:5 NLT
Hope is that happy anticipation for good; a favorable and confident expectation.
If you place your hope in the promises of Humans, you are most likely to be disappointed. Because circumstances or deaths can interfere with their plans.
However, when your hope is in God, you have a done-deal already because God is Eternal, Immutable, Holy, Righteous, Faithful, Truth, and Just. (Hebrew 6:13-18)
He is the unchanging God. But when His presence comes into your situations and circumstances, they Will change to reflect His presence: for HE is the Monarch of the universe.
Records/History shows that He kept all the promises He made through Moses, not even one failed (1 Kings 8:56).
If God has promised it, He will do it.
His Word is dynamic in workings. His Word never fails to accomplish His purposes. He created the World, and everything in it. Everything in the world is subject to God’s Word that created them!
God’s authority and integrity are in His Word!
(ReadGenesis 1, Isaiah 55:11, Matthew 5:28 John 10:35. 17:17
Your Part while waiting:
1). Be joyful in hope( Romans 12:12)
2) Be productive, do things that show that you are not hopeless (Hebrews 6:10)
For example, in 1 Samuel chapter one, is the story Hannah. She was distraught when she went to pray, but after her encounter with Eli the man of God, her countenance changed, because she was hopeful!
Be hope-full! For Christ in you is the hope of Glory (Acts 26:29, Colossians 1:27).
Christ is the fulfillment of God’s promises. Whatever you ask in the name of Jesus Christ, believe you have received it already. Even if it tarries, wait for it.
Let Us Pray:
Father God, our hope is in you. We believe in you and know that You do watch over your Word in order to perform it.
Forgive our hopelessness and be God in our lives. Be magnified Father. Be big in us and everything that you have given to us.
Father, we ask you to remember those who desire housing: give them adequate shelter.
Increase hope also in those who are sick and hoping for you to perfect their healings. Show up strong for them ABBA Father.
We ask Father, that you help those who seek to be married to meet their mates and be married without hinderances.
Do supernaturally intervene to release the victims of kidnappings, and those who are being used are sex-slaves.
These and many more are hoping for Your Intervention to rescue them.
We believe in you as the promise -Keeper, and know that our hope will never be deferred, and that you will accomplish your purposes in our lives, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D. #TheSpiritualWarrior, August 20th, 2024.
2. Physically Maintaining your Deliverance: as a Christian, you are to “work out your salvation” Philippians 2:12.
Although the Christian (Christfollower) has been delivered from the kingdom of darkness, and translated into Christ kingdom, only your spirit is recreated or born again.
It is your responsibility, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, to:
a). Crucify the flesh -which means, you do not give in to anything negative-
see Galatians 5:16, 24, James 1:14, Romans 8:13;
b). Mortify the deeds of the body – those things you realize are wrong after you’ve done them! Learn to live for the will of God and no longer do what you know is wrong. See Romans 6:11-12, 8:15, 1 Peter 4:1-2, 1 John 1:6-8
c). Renew your mind ( Romans 12:2) In 1 Corinthians 2:16, we are told that we have the mind of Christ. Which means that the Believer has been given great insight into God’s plans, His purposes and His perspectives, which are all there in your Bible
i).Mind renewal is possible when you read your Bible for yourself, and not be that person who knows God and His will from hearsay!
After you cast out the evil spirits that were taking advantage of your past/present painful experiences,
ii) fill up on God’s Word in order to develop Christlikeness in worship, character and service.
iii) So that your condition will not deteriorate further. (See Matthew 12: 43-45)
Work at maintaining your Deliverance;
Develop the Victor Mentality:
According to the Amplified Bible, “…Everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world…the victory that had conquered and overcome the world-our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]” 1 John 6:4 AMP.
The Victor Mentality is the direct opposite of the victim mentality.
Based on your knowledge of God, you have the assurance that you are saved and that God is for you, and will perfect all that concerns you (Ephesians 1:13-14,Psalm 138:8)
Thus, you will no longer feel helpless, hopeless, manipulative, vindictive or lacking in self worth, for God loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3, 1 John 4:7-12)
Know Whose you are and who you are in Christ:
As Believers we have the right to be called children of God. He raised us up, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus…Read John 1:12 & Ephesians 2:6
You know that Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world(I John 4:4)
You confront all issues from the perspective of an overcomer- for as the Bible states, “in all things we are more than conquerors” Read Romans 8:31-39
As a child of God, you are brave, bold and focused. Accepting responsibility without blaming others.
You cast your cares on God because He cares and there is absolutely nothing HE can not do, although he cannot lie.
You are not afraid of tomorrow because you know who rules over tomorrows.
It is important to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and Christ for,
“By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. [4] And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires 3 Peter 1:3-4 NLT
#PrayerPoints4Today:
1). Thank God that you have been delivered from ‘victim mentality and are now victorious in Christ Jesus.
2). Affirm that God is love, and as He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17), therefore, you are patient, kind, not envious, boastful, or proud.
3) Affirm that you honor others, are not self-seeking or easily angered; but forgive easily, alienated from evil, are protective, trusting, hopeful and persevering (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
4) Proclaim that you have been made righteous and are justified by faith in Christ Jesus, therefore, all the voices of accusations speaking against you from all the realms of existence are silenced.
5) Declare that in Christ Jesus, you are seated in high places far above all evil spirits no matter their ranks, positions or authorities.
5a). Therefore, you cannot be subjugated to Narcissistic Personality Disorder, anxieties, depression or other mental illnesses.
5b). For God is for you, and nothing can be against you, and God is causing All things to work together fir your good because you love Him and are in His purposes.
6). Thank God for confirming your words and performing your counsel, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
Go and sin no more. Be light and salt in your world.

[16] But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). Galatians 5:16, AMPC
According to Romans 8:14, “all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.(Romans 8:14, NLT)
Which begs the question:
A). How do you know that you are being led by the Holy Spirit?
B). Answer: The evidence that you are following the leadings of the Holy Spirit is the “fruit of the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-23
B1). The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control…” Galatians 5:22-23 NLT.
B2). Again, The Bible says, “You will Know them by their fruit” Matthew 7:16.
C). “No matter how many blind eyes pop open at the sound of your voice, and you can pray more than a ‘praying mantis’: if you do not have the fruit of the Holy Spirit from God, then you are being led by the flesh;
D). Every Believer has the Holy Spirit. Your human spirit was recreated by the Holy Spirit, when you heard God’s Word and placed your faith in the Finished Work of Christ (Read John 3:3-6; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:23, Titus 3:5; Romans 8:9)
D1). The “fruit of the Spirit” are the Characteristics of God in you that the Holy Spirit produces.
D2). We cultivate and increase the “fruit that the Holy Spirit produces”, when we “resist the devil and not yield to temptations’ – Read James 1:13-16; 4:7, 1 Corinthians 10:13)
D3). If you do not work at maintaining your salvation, you will revert into the “flesh mode”
E). The doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like.
I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God” Galatians 5:19-21 AMPC
(Read that scripture again before claiming they will lose your salvation, it did not say “will not enter”, it says, “will not inherit” the kingdom of God)
E1). And because the “gifts and callings of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29),
you might erroneously think that you are being led by God’s Spirit because you are “charismatic”, whereas, you are being led by evil spirits who control the sinful nature.
Hence you are producing all the works of the flesh outlined in Galatians 5:19-21
E2) This is how the Bible describe your state:
“For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do” Galatians 5:17 AMPC
F) Do not despair my brother/sister. If you really desire to be led by the Holy Spirit, you can cultivate the fruit of the Spirit that is already in you. Glory be to God.
G) What you can do:
G1). Refuse to obey the promptings of the sinful nature- “Walk in the Spirit so that you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16)
It is called spiritual Warfare. You must learn to say NO to temptations!
G2). Be obedient to the promptings of the Spirit of God – “My sheep hear my voice…and they follow me” John 10: 27-28. Which means, you make the conscious choice to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
G3) Read the Bible. Become Bible-literate and Word Perfect, in order to discern His leading and guidance.
*Subscribe to a 1 year daily Bible reading plan if you want to mature in your knowledge of God.
*Because God talks to His children through His Word- the Bible.
*We know God’s voice through the Bible, which is His mind revealed to us (1 Corinthians 2:16)!
*Stay focused on the Bible intentionally, and don’t be carried away by every wind of doctrines!
*Know God for yourself! And Be Open and Receptive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance as you read the Bible.
G4) Pray always- Luke 18:1: Prayer is talking back to God. Communicate regularly with God in prayers.
This list is by no means exhaustive!
But as you honestly work on yourself to cultivate the fruit, it will increase in you, and it will be clear to everyone that you are led by the Holy Spirit.
You won’t need to tell people ‘I’m a Christian- your lifestyle will announce whose child you are, and who us leading you.
Hold fast to the liberty you have in Christ Jesus, refuse to be that slave to sin, ever again!
Let us Pray:
1).Father God, thank you for your Holy Spirit that made our rebirth possible.
2) Thank you for your enabling grace that is working in you both to will and to do of your good pleasure.
3) We acknowledge that we “have not yet resisted to blood” (Hebrews 12:4) the pull of human nature, and have fallen like a pack of cards.
4) We receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness, and the enabling grace to resist both the devil and temptations.
5)Thank you for filling us afresh with the Holy Spirit and with power, so that we will consciously cultivate love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
6) We hereby renounce all the works of the flesh and declare that we are free from
immorality, impurity, indecency, Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and related evils.
7) I….(your name) affirm that sin no longer has dominion over me, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death.
8) As your sheep, we hear your voice and follow You. We declare we shall never follow the voice of the stranger again.
9) All the evil spirits assigned to confuse, frustrate, and deceive me are hereby to leave my world at once and go to the feet of Jesus Christ.
10) Thank you Father for reigniting your fire 🔥 in me! I am a born again child of God and I am Spirit-Filled and Spirit-led, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
