Weekly Word

Jesus Christ, You are Lord over my spirit, my mind, and my body. (Philippians 2:9-11) Jesus, You are my wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. You bring the full restoration of the Kingdom-System of our God in my life, both in relationship and in practical benefit. I can and I do all things through You, Lord Jesus, for You are my strength. (1 Corinthians 1:30; Philippians 4:13) Thank you today for your loving kindness and gentle mercies.

You are called by our Savior and Creator to rule on the earth as a royal priest in His courts. You are the apple of His eye and His very own treasured possession. Rise to the calling today and live to declare His glory and to display His power. Celebrate and give God praises on earth just as the host of heaven gives praise to God in heaven. Make this your prayer today:

Father, may your Kingdom come, and may your will be done in all of creation on the earth as it is in Your Kingdom in heaven. Lead me to walk in your divine riches today.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I declare my allegiance to You. You are the true and living God. You are the only wise God, my Father. There is no other God. You are my complete source and my complete supply. I will never look to anyone or to anything else for my provision. You give me power and you give me strength to gain wealth and to be successful, so that You may establish Your covenant with me. Today, I am a victor through Jesus Christ!

The darkness around me becomes as bright as the noon day sun. You, Holy Spirit God, guide me continually. You saturate me with water when I am dry. You abundantly restore my strength. I am like a well-watered garden and ever-flowing spring. I maintain my relationship with You, Father, through continual fellowship. I will spend time with You, my Father, because You are my delight and my heart’s desire. Today, I will display your goodness to all those around me!

Father God, I declare my allegiance and my passion for Your written Word. I will shout with a loud voice, I will loudly proclaim Your goodness, and I will tell everyone of Your worthiness to be praised continually. Because I keep Your commands and because I walk in Your ways, my salvation is as dependable as the dawn. My salvation is sure and my salvation is trustworthy. Father God, you have given me your godliness to lead me forward, and your glory protects me from behind. I will go forth today in full assurance and awareness of your presence in my life. Amen.

Lord, I believe Your Word, I accept Your Word, and I confirm Your Word over me today. Greater are You who are living in me and working through me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). I tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all of the power of the enemy – the Defeated Satan (Luke 10:19). I take my shield of faith and I quench every fiery dart of the Defeated Satan. (Ephesians 6:16). My God keeps me in perfect peace, because my mind stays on Him, and I trust Him completely (Isaiah 26:3). Amen!

Lord Jesus, You declared that as I am obedient to Your teachings, I will grow in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with You, and with all people. (Luke 2:52) Thank you that Your face shines upon me. Lord, your people did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and your strong arm, and the blinding light from your face that helped them, because you loved them. (Psalm 44:3) They were set apart, as we, your people today, are set apart for You. Thank you, Lord – arise and have mercy on all Your people; the time to of Your favor has come! (Psalm 102:13) I receive Your favor today. I am strong and empowered to do mighty exploits through Your Name!

Lord, You generously provide all that I need, with plenty left over to share with others (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT). Through Your favor, Lord, You caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. They plundered the Egyptians of their wealth (Exodus 12:36)! God, You are the same today, You do not change. Lord, You were with Joseph in the prison, and You showed Him your faithful love. You made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden (Genesis 39:21). In every situation, I am made to triumph through Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14). Today I declare that You go before me and prepare my way. You follow behind me and protect my rearguard. You never leave me. I can never escape your presence. Praise your Name Lord Jesus!

Today, Lord, I will seek your presence and guidance. I declare that as a child of God, I receive and I live in your favor each day. I am your righteousness God, not because of anything I’ve done but because of what you did on the cross. I am a recipient of your covenant kindness and your covenant favor. I thank you because your favor surrounds me like a shield everywhere I go, in everything I do, and with everyone I meet. I expect good things to manifest in my life today and every day because your divine favor is upon me. Your favor in my life is immeasurable, unlimited, and Your favor lavishly abounds towards me. Thank you, my God, for this day and the good things you have in store for me. Blessed be Your Name!

Our Heavenly Father tells us that if we observe His way of doing and being right (in our conduct and behavior), He will answer us quickly when we call, guide us continually, restore our strength, and bless us wherever we go and in whatever we do. We have been awarded thousands of promises as the heirs of salvation. Lord, may we learn and walk in these promises and not live a life less than you have designed for us. Amen.

Today you can make the correct choices that set in motion the successful outcomes you desire. You choose your conduct and your behavior. God has given you everything you need to experience His Kingdom here on earth. His plan for your success in this world is found in His written Word. Choose today to become a student of His Word, and experience the life change that comes with knowing and living His plan.

Today hear your heavenly Father say, “I have called you to walk in victory over all the forces of the kingdom of darkness. I have made you with a unique purpose that is good and full of hope. I have chosen you and accepted you as my friend. I have given you rule over darkness in the earth. You will live to declare my glory on the earth. Let it be heard and seen.”

Lord, I prioritize Your Word in my life. You tell me that Your Word is my counsel. Your Word gives me insight and direction. Your Word is my shield. Your Word forms a hedge of protection around me. It is my buckler. It keeps me upright and connected to you. It is a lamp directing my path. I trust that as Your Word becomes dominant in me, it will produce Your Life and Your nature in me. Today my eyes and ears are open to You through Your Word.

Before you were born, your Heavenly Father made you to be a masterpiece. He prepared good works for you to do. Now He offers you power, strength, and faith to overcome the world. You are protected by Him. He specifically chose you. He has fully empowered you to accomplish everything He appointed you to do.  (Read Psalm 68:35,1 John 5:4-5, Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 121:3, Philippians 4:13, John 15:16).

I am not a stranger or outsider to God’s Kingdom, but a member of God’s family and one of His holy people. I am a member of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, of God’s own special people. Today I proclaim the praises of Him who called me out of darkness and into His marvelous light. (Ephesians 2:19; 1 Peter 2:9)

Heavenly Father, today I make a declaration to seek above all else the Kingdom of God – Your plan, Your system, Your righteousness, Your way of doing things and being right. I trust that as I am single-minded and wholehearted about seeking Your Kingdom, all else will be added to me in abundance, according to Your written Word. Righteousness, peace and joy are mine. (Read Matthew 6:33)

Lord God, Your people did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strength that gave them victory. It was Your right hand, Your strong arm, and the blinding light from Your face that helped them, because You loved them. (Psalms 44:3) Lord, they were set apart as Your people, and we believe that all those who call on Your name are also Your people. We ask you to move greatly in our city and in our nation to pour out Your blessings and righteousness. We will not strive to do this in our own strength, but will trust in You alone.

As a child of God, you are to bring the government (Kingdom) of heaven to bear on earth. This means you bring God’s perspective and presence into everything you do. You bring it right into your workplace, into your home, into the grocery store and the ballfield. You can manifest the glory of God for all to see and experience. You can create this heavenly culture around you through your relationship to the Father, allowing the life and goodness of His Kingdom to flow through you. Today is your opportunity. Rejoice!

-Adapted from The Kingdom System by Charlie Lewis, page 154

Right now, roll all your works, worries, and concerns upon the Lord Jesus. Commit and trust them completely to Him. He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable with His will, and your plans will be established and succeed. He desires that you be full of hope and prosper in all that you do. God is for you every single day!  (Read Proverbs 16:3, Jeremiah 29:11).

The Lord is speaking to you today:

“My child, I desire that you be in a living relationship with me, your creator and designer. I created you to walk by faith and practice faith. Faith comes by hearing my Word. I am the author and developer of your faith. Receive the benefits of a close walk with me. You have my mind, and access to the thoughts, the feelings, and the purposes of my Spirit. Receive the great love I have for you today.”  (Read Hebrews 4:14, 11:6, 12:2; 1 Corinthians 2:16).

To live in the Kingdom of our God is to have a life of character. It is the ability to know right from wrong, and then the ability to choose what is right. Character is also one’s moral, ethical, and mental qualities. How do we develop Kingdom character? We seek first His Kingdom, His Plan, His System, and His way of doing and being right at every step. We lay down our own desires, our wants, even our own lives. We take up (put on) the life of Christ, and His character will develop in us. Choose today to be a Kingdom First person.

We are more than conquerors when we live in Christ. We can’t deny the adversity and challenges we face, but we MUST deny their ability to control and impact our situation. Do not utter any words of doubt or falsehood, only speak words full of faith, truth, hope, and love. Let your speech overflow with expectation of God’s goodness and watch your environment conform to God’s will.

Our Creator God wants to live in you and work through you today, and be greater than any force the world has against you. Take up your shield of faith, keep your mind on Him and trust His ways. You will live in perfect peace and have peaceful sleep. He crowns you with faithful love and compassion. Show His love today. (Read 1 John 4:4, Ephesians 6:16, Isaiah 26:3)

While we often think of getting to heaven after this life is over, Jesus taught us that we are to bring heaven to earth now. How do we do this? By getting to know our Creator intimately, and allowing Him to work through us in bringing His Kingdom here. He wants you to spend time with Him, to know the voice of Holy Spirit God and understand His purpose, plans, and principles for your life. When we align our words and actions with His Words, we become “creators of our environment.” Change the lives of those around you by carrying a Kingdom perspective and Kingdom presence. Love never fails!

Holy Spirit God is speaking and drawing you today: “Let my Word dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Keep my Word on your lips and let it be what you speak. My Word is the incorruptible seed. Let it abide in you and live in your spirit and in your mind. Let it become dominant and produce my nature in your life. I will give you insight and direction. My Word will be your council. Live the abundant life I have provided for you today.”

-Adapted from The Kingdom System by Charlie Lewis, page 97

Father God, I am more than a conqueror. In every situation I am made to triumph in You. Live in me and work through me today. I will live my life in victory, and not in defeat. My enemy, the defeated Satan, is beneath my feet. When the enemy comes at me one way, I declare Your Word, Lord, and You send him scattering in seven ways. I will live to bring you glory. Amen.

Lord, you have declared that I am to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before You, God. Right is not determined by what man says, nor by what man’s law says is legal. The standard which I am to operate by, is what You declare to be right and just. May my life display Your Goodness and bring great glory and honor to You.

The Lord has sent forth His Word. The written Word of God is your counsel – it gives you insight and direction; it is your shield. God's Word forms a hedge of protection around you that the defeated Satan cannot penetrate. God's Word, when spoken out of your mouth, will be your powerful weapon in battle that will always give you victory. It is the lamp to your feet and the light to your path. His Word keeps you upright and connected to Him. May you be established on the solid foundation of the living Word of God.

You have God's favor today. God generously provides all that you need. You will always have everything that you need, with plenty left over to share with others (see 2 Corinthians 9:8). Receive the righteousness of God today, and become a recipient of God's covenant kindness and His covenant favor. His favor surrounds you like a shield everywhere you go, in everything you do, and with everyone you meet. Expect good things to manifest today in your life because your Heavenly Father's divine favor is upon you!

You can walk in victory over all the forces of the kingdom of darkness through your faith in Jesus. Our Creator and Designer made each of us unique and special and like no one else. He has given us a unique purpose that is good and that is full of hope. He has created us in His image and in His likeness. When we walk with Him, He assigns His angel armies to guard us and keep us from stumbling. Pray today His Kingdom will come, and His will be done on earth as in heaven through you.

The Lord has given you this day the keys to living in His Kingdom realm: righteousness, peace, and joy. Take a minute and envision and receive God's power at work in you, through you, and around you. Fully experience the reality of God's Kingdom in your life. Peace that passes understanding is yours! Overflowing joy in the Holy Spirit is yours -- even right now! 

See: Romans 14:17, Mark 10:15 and 1 Corinthians 4:20.

Today, as you seek to live In God's Kingdom – His plan, His system, His righteousness, His way of doing things and of being right – be single-minded and wholehearted toward Him. Then all the other things that you need will be added to you in abundance! This abundant life is available to you as you enter into personal relationship with Jesus. Seek Him first today, and be amazed at the outcome.

See: Matthew 6:33, Mark 1:15, John 10:10.

God is drawing you close to Him today, and He loves you with an everlasting love. He has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light so that you may show forth His glorious wonders. You can do all things through Christ as He shines through you. He has removed your sins as far as the east is from the west, and you are clean and forgiven. Be his shining star.       

See: Jeremiah 31:3,  1 Peter 2:29, Psalm 103:12, Philippians 4:13.

God gives you power and strength today. He bought you with a high price through Jesus Christ. He made every part of you. In all your intricate detail He knit you together in your mother’s womb. God has made you a masterpiece and prepared you for good works today. May you prosper In the Lord!    

See: Psalm 68:35,  1 Corinthians 6:20, Psalm 139:13, Ephesians 2:10.

Jesus, You have declared that the hour has come and the time is now that we as true worshippers must worship You from our spirits, the eternal component of who we are now and forever. Lord, I commit myself today and every day to obey Your instructions. I surrender my spirit to Your Holy Spirit, and ask You to guide me into true and pure worship.

Lord Jesus, I believe and I accept a living relationship with You through faith. This makes me a legally registered citizen of heaven, and gives me access to all of heaven's realm. I am a son/daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I am a joint heir with You, Jesus, of all the riches of glory. Today I will walk securely in faith, knowing that You have given me the eternal gift of abundant life.

Heavenly Father, the Kingdom of God is Your total order, and it functions as the operating system to fulfill all of my needs. Nothing is left out. Your Kingdom is complete and lacks nothing. Today I choose to pursue and engage Your Kingdom, and to live fully in the Kingdom realm. I will be led forth in my relationship with You. Amen.

Lord Jesus, there is such beauty in Your design and creation. Everything You have created operates in a system that functions in Your perfect order. My cells, my body, the animal kingdom, the planets, and the entire universe all operate in a precise order. Their authority and their power is placed in them by You. You are their complete source and complete supply. Creation has Your fingerprints all over it. Thank You for giving me, and all people everywhere, the ability to see and recognize You in creation, and to know and understand Your systems.

Heavenly Father, You are good and Your mercy endures forever. You have provided everything I need to live a successful and prosperous life on earth. I have the overcoming victory through my relationship with You. You have prepared a perfect plan for my life that was written in Your book before I was born and before my time journey began.  Before I entered time, You had already provided everything I will ever need. I lack nothing to complete my assignment. Thank You for giving me access to the overflowing abundance of Your Kingdom.

God came to the earth in the person of Jesus Christ for you. He established and He delivered the System whereby you and I can live on the earth in complete victory, joy, and peace; and we can have a living, breathing, flowing relationship with Him. That system is the Kingdom System of our God. The Kingdom of God is God’s complete and total order for everything that exists.

We pray today that God would fully direct your heart, that you can joyfully pray: Father, in the name of Jesus, I declare my allegiance to You. You are the true and living God. You are the only wise God, my Father. There is no other God. You are my complete source and my complete supply. I will never look to anyone or to anything else for my provision. You give me power and you give me strength to gain wealth and to be successful. You have established Your covenant with me, so today I am a victor through Jesus Christ!

Lord, today I desire my time to be productive. While I am on this earth, in-time, I will pursue my eternity and my eternalness through a living relationship with You. All of my thoughts, my actions, and my desires are measured and evaluated by Your Kingdom, Your system, Your plan, and by Your way of doing and being right. I know and I understand that the Kingdom of God is the method that You have provided for me by which to conduct my life -- for now and forever. Thank you, my God and my Father for Your kindness and for Your generosity. I recognize and acknowledge that You are good, and Your mercy endures forever and ever.

God's Word is such a gift. Make this declaration today about the Word of God in your life:

Father, You have sent forth Your Word into my spirit and into my mind. I will let Your Word dwell in me richly with all wisdom. Your Word will not depart from my mouth. Your Word will be all that I speak. I meditate on Your Word day and night, so that I may diligently act upon Your Word. Your Word is the incorruptible seed that is abiding and that is living in my spirit and in my mind. Your Word is grwoing mightily in me now. Your Word is becoming dominant and is producing Your nature and Your life in me. Amen.

-Adapted from the declaration Prayer of Commitment to the Word by Charlie Lewis

Today let God fill you to overflowing, and become aware of God’s light -- the Holy Spirit God -- shining brightly out of your spirit into the darkness that is around you. Declare this out loud:

The darkness around me becomes as bright as the noon day sun. You, Holy Spirit God, guide me continually. You saturate me with water when I am dry. You abundantly restore my strength. I am like a well-watered garden and ever-flowing spring. I maintain my relationship with You, Father, through continual fellowship. I will spend time with You, my Father, because You are my delight and my heart’s desire. Today, I will display your goodness to all those around me!

Lord, today I give honor to you with thanksgiving in my heart. Your fingerprints have always been on me. You have embedded the knowledge of who You are and who we are inside every human heart. You have revealed Yourself through Your invisible qualities and through the visible wonders of Your creation and by Your amazing majesty. Your eternal power and Your transcendent glory allow humanity to easily perceive Your invisible qualities. Your overwhelming goodness shows humanity who You are. Lord, You are good, too good to be overlooked and to be ignored. Your mercy endures forever. Your blessings and Your Favor overtake me and I am thankful. I bless Your name today.

Heavenly Father, You supply all of my needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Your glory is all around me, and I reach out into your Kingdom and pull into Myself all that I have need of in every area of my life. (Psalm 23; Philippians 4:19) I do not fret or have anxiety about anything. I do not have a care. (Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:6, 7) I am a part of the Body of Christ. I am redeemed from the curse, because you, Lord Jesus, bore my sickness and You carried my diseases in Your own body. By your stripes I am healed. I forbid any sickness or any disease to operate in my body. Every organ, every tissue, every fiber and cell of my being functions in the perfection in which You, Father God, created it to function. I honor You, God, and I bring glory to You in my body. (Galatians 3:13, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Corinthians 2:16). 

Father, I am amazed by Your goodness to me, and who You created me to be. I am Your personal workmanship, Your masterpiece creation. I have been recreated and born anew through You, Christ Jesus. Through Your blood and through my Faith in You and in Your provision for me, I am able to do the good works which You planned for me before I was born. You have prepared paths for me to walk that allow me to experience and to enjoy the good life that You have prepared for me, before I was born. Glory to Your name. Jesus, I will demonstrate Your love today.

Make this your prayer today:

I am not a stranger or outsider to God’s Kingdom, but a member of God’s family and one of His holy people. I am a member of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, of God’s own special people. Today I proclaim the praises of Him who called me out of darkness and into His marvelous light. (Ephesians 2:19; 1 Peter 2:9)

Your words are powerful. They create the environment in which you live every day. They change the atmosphere and cause it to create the culture of the Kingdom of God and a Kingdom experience when your words align with the words of our King. You are neither helpless nor hopeless. You are in charge of your environment. Let your confession be in agreement with the Words of Jesus. Begin today to determine whose words you will speak. Only use words full of faith that are based on truth, grounded in hope, and controlled by His love.

To live in the Kingdom of our God is to have a life of character. It is the ability to know right from wrong, and then the ability to choose what is right. Character is also one’s moral, ethical, and mental qualities. How do we develop Kingdom character? We seek first His Kingdom, His Plan, His System, and His way of doing and being right at every step. We lay down our own desires, our wants, even our own lives. We take up (put on) the life of Christ, and His character will develop in us. Choose today to be a Kingdom First person.

God has divinely and wondrously created you with three unique parts. Your spirit (this is who you really are), your soul or mind (who you think you are), and your body (who you appear to be). Your spirit is the part of you that will live forever and ever. The question for each of us today is, how much attention and time do we put into building and strengthening our spirit? This is a question with an answer of eternal value. May your day be blessed as you build up your spirit man.

When you walk and fellowship with Holy Spirit God, trusting in His goodness, He assigns and charges the angel armies of God to keep you safe. You will be safe on the land, in the air, and on the sea. In every situation, in each circumstance, and in all your relationships, the angel armies of God prevent you from being harmed, from being injured, and from stumbling. Declare this today: You, Lord, have chosen me and made me Your friend and Your family. You love me with an everlasting, unfailing love. You have made me important in Your Kingdom as Your chosen vessel.

Today, as we look for the contentment and the fulfillment that we are designed to desire and to enjoy, we will find them in relationships that are based on our created design for our eternal purpose. When we understand how important relationships are and how they work, everything within us - spirit, mind and body - will draw us to our designed purpose and our designed outcomes. Spend time with Holy Spirit God and develop a continual, flowing relationship of fellowship and communion, spirit to Spirit and breath to breath. This relationship is God’s desire, and our purpose for existing.

The Kingdom of our God is powerful. It is steadfast, it is sure, and it is eternal. It is trustworthy. It is worth living for and worth dying for. It is something with meaning, something with purpose, something worthwhile. We can and we must be aware of the provision of the Kingdom of God and all that it makes available to us. We know that we can trust our lives to its provisions. We must share this good news. Touch someone’s life today with this life-changing news.

The primary message of Jesus when He was on the earth was about a dimension of life that He Himself brought to the earth for humanity to understand, to engage, and to experience. He called this dimension, or realm, the Kingdom of God. To engage the realm Christ spoke so much about, we must be born again. Once we experience new birth, we may engage the Kingdom realm, where we will find all the power, dominion, and authority we need for the successful living of our lives. Everything you need today is available in the Kingdom!

Our Creator does not want to burden us with laws and rules of regulation and compliance. He just wants us to do what is right, be merciful, and to walk humbly with Him. Jesus reiterated these same simple ideas about life when He said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His way of doing and being right;" "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength;" and "Love your neighbor as yourself."If we walk with God and we seek to understand His way of doing and being right, and act accordingly, then all that is required is for us to govern ourselves within the Kingdom of God. Today may you experience the freedom of living His Way in His Kingdom.

Our God is Spirit, and those that worship Him must worship Him out of or from their spirit, the eternal component of who they are (John 4:23-24). This is the worship that our God requires and the kind that He will accept. We pray today for God’s people to be more Kingdom-minded and be centered around things that are eternal and that impact our eternalness – things that change how we think, what we believe, and how we act. Being Kingdom-minded engages us in eternal purposes. Today, open your eyes to see the activities of your day from an eternal perspective.

Seek first the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33). Understanding and learning about the Kingdom – how it is designed to operate and how we engage the Kingdom in our lives – is of utmost importance for our lives on this planet. To not know, to not understand, and to not engage the Kingdom of God is to miss the joy, the peace, and the living relationship that has been planned for us from the foundations of the earth. His Kingdom is His correct way of doing and being right. Engage the Kingdom of God today.

God - our Creator and our Designer - never changes. His principles and His character are constant. However, His relationship with each of us is constantly changing. Not because He is changing, but because He is changing us. Today, ask yourself: is my relationship with God changing and becoming more intimate and increasingly closer to Him? Is my spiritual understanding growing deeper and wider in how it is that I see my Friend? Am I understanding better how it is that He sees me? My prayer is that you be open to the beautiful changes that come from a relationship with your heavenly Father.

Today I do not fear because you, Father God, have given me the Spirit of power, and love, and I operate from a sound mind. God, You are on my side. I roll my works upon You, Lord Jesus. I commit and I trust them completely to You, so that my thoughts will be established.

Read 2 Timothy 1:7; Romans 8; Proverbs 16:3

Jesus bore your sickness, and He wants you to be healed today. He carried your diseases in His own body, and by His stripes you are healed. Right now you can forbid any sickness or any disease to operate in your body. Declare that every organ, every tissue, every fiber, and every cell of your body functions in the perfection in which your heavenly Father created them to function. Pour out your thanks to God and bring glory to Him in your body.
Read Isaiah 53:5, Galatians 3:13, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24, and 1 Corinthians 2:16.

What do you need today?
The Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not lack anything. He supplies all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Today – right now – His glory is all around you, so reach out with your faith and pull into you all that you have need of, in every area of your life! He will supply.
Read Psalm 23; Philippians 4:19

The Lord has sent forth His Word. The written Word of God Is your counsel -- it gives you insight and direction; it is your shield.  God's Word forms a hedge of protection around you that the defeated Satan cannot penetrate. God's Word, when spoken out of your mouth, will be your powerful weapon in battle that will always give you victory. It is the lamp to your feet and the light to your path. His Word keeps you upright and connected to Him. May you be established on the solid foundation of the living Word of God.

Lord, you have declared that I am to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before You, God. Right is not determined by what man says, nor by what man’s law says is legal. The standard which I am to operate by, is what You declare to be right and just. May my life display Your goodness and bring great glory and honor to You. Amen.

You have God's favor today. God generously provides all that you need. You will always have everything that you need, with plenty left over to share with others (see 2 Corinthians 9:8). Receive the righteousness of God today, and become a recipient of God's covenant kindness and His covenant favor. His favor surrounds you like a shield everywhere you go, in everything you do, and with everyone you meet. Expect good things to manifest today in your life because your Heavenly Father's divine favor is upon you!

You can walk in victory over all the forces of the kingdom of darkness through your faith in Jesus. Our Creator and Designer made each of us unique and special and like no one else. He has given us a unique purpose that is good and that is full of hope. He has created us in His image and in His likeness. When we walk with Him, He assigns His angel armies to keep us safe in every situation, in each circumstance, and in all of our relationships. When we submit to Him, He prevents us from being harmed, injured, and from stumbling. Pray today that His Kingdom will come, and His will be done on earth as in heaven through you.

Today, as you seek to live In God's Kingdom -- His plan, His system, His righteousness, His way of doing things and of being right -- be single-minded and wholehearted toward Him. Then all the other things that you need will be added to you in abundance! This abundant life is available to you as you enter into personal relationship with Jesus. Seek Him first today, and be amazed at the outcome. 

See: Matthew 6:33, Mark 1:15, John 10:10.

God is drawing you close to Him today, and He loves you with an everlasting love. He has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light so that you may show forth His glorious wonders. You can do all things through Christ as He shines through you. He has removed your sins as far as the east is from the west, and you are clean and forgiven. Be His Shining Star. 

See: Jeremiah 31:3, 1 Peter 2:29, Psalm 103:12, Philippians 4:13.

God gives you power and strength today. He bought you with a high price through Jesus Christ. He made every part of you. In all your intricate detail He knit you together in your mother’s womb. God has made you a masterpiece and prepared you for good works today. May you prosper In the Lord! 

See: Psalm 68:35, 1 Corinthians 6:20, Psalm 139:13, Ephesians 2:10.

Our God is an awesome God. He created you with His specific purpose in mind. Before you entered time, God knew you and approved of you as His chosen instrument for His Kingdom. When God prepared you to enter time, He placed in you the skills, the talents, the gifts, and all the abilities that you will ever need. He gave you grace and the favor to live and to function successfully on this planet. You lack nothing for your success. You are a contributing asset to your family, to humanity, and to God's Kingdom. Your life makes a difference in the outcomes of the lives of others. You provide the gifts that God has given to you for all of humanity, for their engagement for their success. You are a key player In God's Kingdom.

Today let God's light shine through you as He advances you into prominent places. Let people see the moral excellence and praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds that God produces through you. Then humanity will recognize, honor, praise, and glorify God and His Son Jesus Christ. May the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit be your delight and your heart’s desire. May you say today, "Lord, I am who you say that I am. I have what you say that I have. I can, and I will, do what you declare that I can do."

You are God’s masterpiece. You are his work of art. You are his poem written for all of humanity to read and to know who you are through Him. Before you were born into time, God creatively designed you for a unique and special purpose. That purpose is based in who you are eternally, forever. You came into time with gifts, talents, and abilities. God graced you to achieve great things in His Kingdom for Him, for yourself, for your family, and for all of humanity. You are special. There is no one like you. Show forth God's glory today as you live out your purpose.

A declaration for you today to experience victory in every battle: Lord, You are great! You are living in and working through me. You are greater than he that is in the world. I tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all of the power of the enemy - the Defeated Satan. I take the shield of faith and quench every fiery dart of the Defeated Satan. My God keeps me in perfect peace, because my mind remains on Him and because I trust Him completely. I can and I do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. I will walk through this day in total victory. (Reference: 1 John 4:4, Luke 10:19, Ephesians 6:16, Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:13).

Use this declaration in times of trial and testing: I recognize the strategies and the deceits of the defeated Satan, and I put a stop to them by speaking Your Word, Lord, out of my mouth in faith. I choose to be confident and believe, Father, my God and Creator, that You and Your perfect plan for my life are at work in me, to lead me to both want to do and then to do your good pleasure. I exalt Your Word. I hold Your Word in the highest esteem. I give Your Word first place in my life. I boldly and I confidently declare that my spirit and my mind are fixed upon You, and I am established on the solid foundation of the living Word of God. Amen.

May Holy Spirit God guide you and bring you into your purpose and fulfill what God has created and designed for you here on Earth. We thank You, Father God, that Your Word is our counsel – Your Word gives us insight and your Word gives us direction. Your Word is our shield – Your Word forms a hedge of protection around us that the Defeated Satan cannot penetrate. Your Word is our buckler – Your Word keeps us upright and connected to You, our complete source and our complete supply. Your Word is our powerful weapon in battle that always gives us victory. Your Word is the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path. Your Word makes our way straight before us, and we never ever stumble or fall because our steps are ordered by Your Word. By following Your Word, our purpose in life will be fulfilled.
