Righteousness and Holiness

Ephesians 4

Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith, and for the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Thank you, that I know of him, but also, much better, I know him personally by his spirit who lives in me and communes with me day by day and thought by thought.

You have changed me by renewing my mind and by perfecting me in accord with the character of my Lord Jesus. I am no longer a child cared about by every wind of doctrine, nor am I tossed about by the foolishness and trickery of men.

Instead, I live with you, Lord, in truth. I grow up in you, and I am knit together in your body, the church.

I ceaselessly put off my old man, and I am renewed moment by moment in the spirit of my mind. I put on the new man who is created in accord with your will. I live in true righteousness and holiness. 

True and Righteous

Psalm 19

Heavenly Father, the heavens declare your glory. The earth shows your handiwork. Each day and night utter your words.

Your law, oh Lord, is perfect. It has converted my soul. Your testimony is sure and has made me wise. Your statutes are right and give me joy. Your commandments are pure and enlighten me.

The fear I have for you, Father, is clean and eternal. Your judgments are true and righteous all together. Your grace has warned me and taught me. Obeying you, Father, is great reward

You cleanse me of my faults. Your indwelling Holy Spirit keeps me from presumptuous sins. Foolishness does not have dominion over me. In Christ, I am blameless and innocent of transgressions.

The words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart are acceptable in your sight, Father. You are my strength and my redeemer.

Glory For Ever & Ever

Hebrews 13; 1 Corinthians 6; Romans 10

Heavenly Father, you are the God of Peace. You brought up my Lord Jesus from the dead, and now he is my great Shepherd, and I am kept and guarded by him.

Jesus is my Lord. He has bought me with a precious price, and I belong to him. I am no longer my own, but now, hallelujah, I belong to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You have made an everlasting promise to save me and to hold me forever, and you sealed that promise with your blood.

Now, Lord, work in me to make me complete in every good work to do your will. Work in me what is well pleasing in your sight. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, who is glory forever and ever. 

Back To You

Psalm 119

My heart stands in awe of your word, Father. I rejoice at your word. I love your law, and I am filled with great peace, and nothing causes me to stumble.

I live in hope because of your salvation, Father. My soul keeps your testimonies. I love them exceedingly. I keep your precepts, and all my ways are open before you.

Your word gives me understanding, and I am delivered according to your word. You, Holy Spirit, teach me the word, and my soul lives because of your life dwelling in me.

I live, and I praise you. I delight in your law. Long ago, I had wandered off, but now, Father, your word and your spirit have brought me back to you. 

The Kingdom of the Son

Matthew 6; Colossians 1

Thank you, Father, that I am on your mind and heart. You have me covered. You know the things I have need of even before I ask you. Therefore, I do not worry about my life. I am in your kingdom, Lord. You are the power and the glory.

I have been born from above, and you, Father, are my God, and Jesus is my master. Now my life belongs to you, and my life is more than food and clothing.

My treasure is in heaven with you, Father. I am filled with the knowledge of your will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Thereby, I am enabled to walk worthy of you, Lord Jesus, fully pleasing to you and fruitful in every good work and increasing in my knowledge of you, Father.

I am strengthened with your might, Father, in accord with your glorious power, for all patience and long suffering with joy. I give thanks to you, Father, that you have qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the Saints in light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness and conveyed me into the kingdom of the son of your love. 

Bear Me Up

Psalm 91

Lord God, in your mercy, you called me, and I answered. Now you are always with me. You deliver me, and you honor me. You satisfy me, Father, and you show me your salvation.

I dwell now with you, Lord Jesus. I abide in your shadow. You are my refuge and my fortress. You are my God, and I trust you.

You deliver me from tricks and lies and pestilence. You cover me with your Holy Spirit and refresh me with your word of life. I live in truth, because you have hold of me, Lord.

I am not afraid of the terror, lies, foolishness, and pestilence that goes on around me in this sinful world.

The lost are busy in sin and rebellion. They live the way of death, but their ways do not come to me, because now, I dwell in you, Lord Jesus.

You, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are my dwelling place and my refuge. No evil can steal my salvation. No plague can come near my heavenly presence and promise. Your angels have charge over me, Father, they keep me and carry me through this life and bear me up to you at your appointed time.

Fierceness and Wrath 

Revelation 19

Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to you, Lord, my God. Your judgments are true and righteous. You will judge the evil who corrupt your earth. You will revenge on evil the blood of your servants who were slain. I praise you, Lord, and I fear you.

You, Lord God Omnipotent, reign. I am glad, and I rejoice. I give you glory that salvation has come, and at your time appointed, I will be united face-to-face with Christ Jesus, your lamb and my savior.

Someday heaven will open, and Jesus, faithful and true, will come seated on a white horse. He will judge, and he will make war. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and he is the word of God. Out of his mouth, goes a sharp sword that will judge and strike the nations. He himself will tread the winepress of your fierceness and wrath, Heavenly Father.

I worship you, Father. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Just Due

Revelation 15 & 16

Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty!

Just and true are your ways, oh King of the Saints

Who shall not fear you, oh, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments have been manifested.

You are righteous, oh, Lord, the one who is, and who was, and who is to be.

You have judged those who have the mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. They have shared the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.

Eternal Glory

1 John 5; Romans 8; Ephesians 1; 1 John 5; 1 Corinthians 1; 1 Peter 4

The truth is that you, Father, have given me, eternal life, and this life is in your son. I have the son as my Lord and Savior, and thus I have eternal life

I know this is true, because your word tells me, and because your indwelling spirit witnesses to me and remains with me, as a deposit, guaranteeing all these promises until the day that you, Father, redeem your possession. So I know!

I know that you hear me as I ask to walk and live and serve in your will, and I know that I have those petitions that I have made to you.

I am a useful instrument in your hands and capable and godly, because you have made Christ Jesus to be righteousness, wisdom, redemption, and sanctification for me.

You, Father, the God of all grace, have called me to your eternal glory, through Christ Jesus, and you, Almighty Sovereign God, see that I am perfected, established, strengthened, and settled.

Multiplied to Me

2 Peter 1

Thank you, Father, that I have a like precious faith with your apostles, by the righteousness of my God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Grace and knowledge are multiplied to me through the knowledge of you, Father, and my Lord Jesus Christ.

In your divine power, you have given me all things that pertain to life and godliness by giving me personal knowledge of you and communion with you.

You have called me to glory and virtue and given me exceedingly great and precious promises. Through your promises, from your living word and your indwelling Holy Spirit, I am a partaker of your divine nature, and I have escaped the corruption that is in this world through lust.

I am fruitful in my knowledge and intimacy with my Lord Jesus. Your call and election on my life are sure. By your grace, I have abundant entrance into your everlasting kingdom.
