I have enjoyed that victory and I have felt that amazement of being called and chosen to be one with God. Thank you, Lord, for your grace to me. I bow before you. You are great and glorious and I get to dwell in that glory.

Beyond and surrounding the glory is your love. I am buoyed up by your love for me;  the free gift of your love even for me a sinner who tried to walk away but found you patient, persistent, and almighty in your claim to my life. Thank you for your faithfulness.  I belong to you. I have been bought with a price and I am no longer my own. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. By god’s grace and Jesus’s sacrifice I am set free from condemnation.  There is therefore now no condemnation for me because I am in Jesus, the Christ.

The work of God is to believe in him whom he sent; to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.  I am diligent at this; following my shepherd and seeking to know him so that I am found in him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

My Lord has drawn me to him and has given me faith that by his divine power I have all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called me to glory and virtue.  He has given me a divine promises, exceeding great and precious promises whereby I am a partaker of the divine nature and have escaped the corruption that is in this world through lust.  So I give diligence to his word, and to his spirit who dwells in me, and my calling and election become sure and obvious.

Declarations when Jesus is my Messiah :

I am complete in him   Col 2:10

Christ is all and in all. Col 3:11

In Him is all the fullness of the Godhead. Col 1:19

In His presence is fullness of joy.  Ps 16:11

With Him I fear no evil, His rod and His staff comfort me. Ps 23

I return and stick with the shepherd and bishop of my soul I Peter 2:25

He is able to save to the uttermost.  Heb 7:25

He will not cast me out.  John 6:37

He prays for me.  I John 2:1, 5&6

Stop working for things that perish and find him who is complete and perfect and totally sufficient. Don’t settle for less than God’s best.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you are the messiah and you are the captain of my salvation. I am yours and you are not ashamed to call me brethern.

You, Lord Jesus, put your trust in God the father, and as your brother, I put my trust in you Jesus as Messiah, and in God, the father, as sovereign.  Since I am alive in this flesh and blood, you, my Lord, took on the same flesh, that through death you would destroy him that had the power of death that is the devil.  In that divine way you delivered me from bondage to the fear of death.

You, Lord Jesus, were made like me that you would be a merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God; perfectly able to make reconciliation for my sins.  You, Lord Jesus, are the son over your own house, whose house I am. I hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope firm to the end.

God’s word declares and clearly sets forth Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, the anointed one of God, sent to save his people from their sins and to reconcile his children to their heavenly father.  To Jesus our father says, “Thy throne, oh God, is forever.”

I give earnest heed to the word of my God, lest at any time I should let the things of God slip. I pay constant attention to God’s great salvation for me and for his people. These things are spoken of by the Lord Jesus and confirmed by his disciples, with God, the father, bearing witness to them with signs and miracles and the gift of the Holy  Spirit according to his will.

I see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels regarding suffering death, crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God, he should taste death for every man. In that, he would bring many sons into glory and is the captain of our salvation, made perfect through the things that he suffered.

Lord, please fill me today with the knowledge of your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that today I will walk in a manner worthy of my Lord, fully pleasing to you, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, my father, and Jesus, the Messiah.  Strengthen me with all power, according to your glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy.

I thank you, my father, that you have qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. Thank you, father, that you have delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of your beloved son in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sin.  Fill me with your Holy Spirit that I would be led by your spirit; that the Christ would dwell in me today.

John 6

I do not work for the food that perishes; I do the work of God. I work to believe that the Lord Jesus is the Messiah; the one sent from God the father to deliver his people. He does not give me a sign because he has given me the real bread from heaven, that is, himself in the flesh accomplishing everything that had to be done to begin and finish my salvation, my deliverance, my reconciliation to God.

By god’s grace, in Christ, I am justified, sanctified, and glorify God. God, my father, has made Christ to be wisdom, righteousness, redemption and sanctification for me.  He has given me the true bread from heaven. This bread came down and gave life to me. Jesus is the bread. I come to him and consume his word, and see that he is the Messiah, and I do not hunger. I believe in him and I do not thirst.

I believe in you, Lord Jesus. I follow you as Lord and Shepherd. I rejoice in you as redeemer and kinsman redeemer, my elder brother.

I give thanks to the father for placing me in Christ who qualifies me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.  In Christ I am delivered from the domain of darkness and transferred to the kingdom of my Lord Jesus. In Jesus I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

My Lord Jesus is the Messiah, the one sent by God to save his people, to save me. Jesus, the Christ, is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn, preeminent, of all creation.  By him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible or invisible, all things were created through him and for him. He was before all things and in him all things hold together.

As a disciple of my Lord Jesus, I am diligent to see Him in the word; to spend time in the word and in prayerful communion with my Lord.

I chew on the word until it takes charge of my thoughts and I begin to reckon myself dead to my flesh and alive in Christ. The words of my Lord are spirit and life. They are truth and quickening. The words of God resonate within my spirit which is made alive by my heavenly father’s choice, calling and presence.

Now I seek to continue in his word. I want to experience Jesus as my Messiah and King. He has come in obedience to the father and walked through life in the flesh.  He has become the propitiation for my miserable actions and behaviors, and provided for my reconciliation to God my father.

Hallelujah, thank you that you guide me, oh Lord. You use the bread of adversity and the water of affliction to teach me, but you do not leave me.  Then my eyes see my teacher and my ears hear a word behind me saying, “this is the way, walk in it. ” I defile my idols; I scatter them as unclean things; I say to them, be gone.

You, my heavenly father, give rain to my seed and bread comes rich and plenteous. On every hill and mountain there are brooks running with water. You bind up my brokenness and heal all the wounds you have inflicted. In repentance and rest I am saved. In quietness and trust is my strength.

Isaiah 30
