  • God Is A Loving Father

    Father God, how great is the love You have bestowed on me that I should be called a child of Yours. And that is what I am (1 John 3:1). He who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17). So Father, I am Your child and I confess Jesus as Lord over my spirit, soul and body this day and every day. I give myself to You freely — wholly and completely — as an instrument for Your kingdom use. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I may go about Your work this day in Your love and power. For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes: my faith (1 John 5:4). I agree with the Word of God; I believe the Word of God; I confess the Word of God and thus change my circumstances and gain my victory through Christ Jesus my Champion.

    God is a loving Father!

    I am Your dear child, Lord God, and I am from You, and so I overcome all that is in the world — all the influences of the evil one. Because the One who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The Great God has redeemed me from the hand of my adversary, therefore I will have no more fear of the devil (Psalm 107:2). I let the peace of Christ Jesus rule in my heart since as a member of His body I was called to peace. And I am thankful/grateful/praiseful (Colossians 3:15). I refuse to worry about anything, because God is on my side. God is in me now. Who can be against me and win? (Romans 8:31)

    Lord God, heavenly Father, according to Your Word, my ‘light and momentary’ troubles are achieving for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So I fix my eyes NOT on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary; what is unseen is eternal (1 Corinthians 4:17-18). I don’t have to fight Satan; he is an already defeated foe. The only battle I have to fight is the good fight of faith. With the Lord at my right hand, I walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). O Lord my gracious God, please strengthen my spiritual vision that I may see You everywhere.

    Father God, I worship You in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). The spirit counts for everything; the flesh counts for nothing. The Spirit realm is the reality; the materiel realm is the supplemental. And I thank You for opening my eyes to it. Lord God, You said the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6). With Your gracious hand, dearest Lord, guide my spirit to govern my mind.

    I am a wise child and I will heed my Father’s instructions (Proverbs 13:1). I no longer conform to the pattern of this world. I am transformed by the renewing of my mind through God’s Word (Romans 12:2). God my Father revives me according to His Word (Psalm 119:25). I do not want to let the Word depart from before my eyes, Father. So I pray to You to help me keep it within my heart. For it is life to me; I have found it and it is health and healing to all my flesh and bones (Proverbs 4:21-22).

    Almighty God, I know You are capable, and so I pray for You to not let Your Word depart from my mouth. I put forth effort to meditate on it day and night so I am careful to do everything written in it. Because then I will be prosperous and successful (Joshua 1:8). I ask You, God, Father of all glory, please give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, so I may know You better. Father God, I pray the eyes of my understanding be enlightened so I may know the hope of Your calling, the riches of my glorious inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe! This power is like the working of Your mighty strength which You exerted in Christ Jesus when You raise Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 1:17-19). If You can raise Jesus from the dead and set Him beside You at Your throne, I know You can deliver me from every stronghold I am stuck in, as long as I trust You for it.

    I do not stop praying and asking You, Father God, to fill me with all knowledge of You and Your will, through all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9). Please, gracious God, feed me discernment to know Your will in every situation. Lord, teach me knowledge and good judgment for I believe in Your commands (Psalm 119:66). I look into the perfect law that gives freedom, and I continue to do this, not forgetting what I have heard, but doing it, and so I am blessed in what I do (James 1:25). I remember it is a message to obey, not just to listen to and so deceive myself (James 1:22).

    God Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You will strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ Jesus may dwell in my heart richly through faith. And I pray that, being rooted and established in Your love, I may have power together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ Jesus, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. I know You are able to do immeasurably more than all I could ask or can even imagine, according to Your power that is at work within me. To You be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:16-21)

  • God Loves To Hear From You

    I thank the people that have already visited this site. It is in its infancy! And I’m not very good at blogging yet, or handling this editor very well (it appears). But I thank you for coming, and pray this site blesses whomever may show up here. Please excuse my attempts at blogging until I get the hang of things.

    In the meantime, I will continue what I have started. That is to encourage God’s children to trust Him more. Believer, victory is your inheritance! Claim it!

    We can all be heirs according to God’s promise to Abraham

    Lord God, You are a merciful God. You will not abandon or destroy me, or forget the covenant with my spiritual forefathers, which You confirmed to them by an oath (Deuteronomy 4:31). Your Word says that if I belong to Jesus Christ, I too can be an heir of His promises (Galatians 3:29). Like Isaac, I am a child of Promise (Galatians 4:28). Therefore I plead these promises.

    According to Your Word, O loving God, I belong to Christ Jesus; therefore I too am Abraham’s seed and heir according to the promise You gave him (Galatians 3:29). Father God, You promised to give me a heart to know You, that You are the Lord God. You promised I could be Your people and You would be my God, for I have indeed returned to You with all my heart (Jeremiah 24:7). My faithful God, who is the same yesterday and today and forever, please be to me what You were for Abram: my shield and my very great reward (Genesis 15:1).

    Lord God, Abraham didn’t waiver in unbelief at Your promise, but was strengthened in his faith. I too am fully persuaded that what You promise You are able to perform. Because of this, like Abraham, You credit me with righteousness! (Romans 4:20-22) You made Jesus, who had no sin, to be sin for me, so that in Him I can claim the righteousness of God. I have placed myself in Jesus and have put my trust in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). I listen to Jesus and His message, and I believe God sent Him. So I have His eternal life in me (John 5:25). No man can take me out of His hand, for I have eternal life in Him (John 10:28).

    Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). I do not care how I feel, how it looks, or what the situation says. I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I agree with the Word of God. I thank my God and praise Him because I am a new creation — His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) — and the old me has passed away. I am fearfully and wonderfully re-made in Christ Jesus (Psalm 139:14).

    It is because of God that I am in Christ Jesus, who has become for me wisdom from God — Jesus is my righteousness, holiness, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30). Jesus is my Kinsman Redeemer and I owe Him my life.
