1 John 1

Thank you, Father, that your Apostle John tells me you are real and true, and that you want fellowship with me; that you want my joy to be full. John tells me that he heard you, and he saw you with his own eyes; that he touched you; he heard your word, and he saw divine life manifested through your word.

He bears witness and declares to me that the eternal life of God, our father, came to us through the person of Jesus, our Lord and Messiah. John saw it, him, and heard it, and declares it to me so that I will have fellowship with you, Heavenly Father, and you, Lord Jesus, and with you, Holy Spirit.

He testifies to the salvation and eternal life, through Jesus, God’s son, so that divine, sovereign joy will fill every part of my being.

Romans 1; Colossians 1; Romans 12

Lord, here I am, by your grace, a bond servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Separated and set apart to your gospel. Your gospel is foretold by your prophets and written in your scripture by your apostles and declared finished by the life and death and resurrection of Jesus, your son, raised from the dead and glorified by your spirit of holiness.

Through him, I have received your salvation, finished and paid for. Day by day, you commune to me the understanding of the fullness of your saving grace, so my heart and my mind stay tuned to you, and I am healed, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

In Christ, I am filled with the knowledge of your will, Father, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, and I walk worthy of you, fully pleasing to you.

By your grace and presence in me, I am fruitful in every good work, and I increase in my personal communion and fellowship with you.

In that way, I am able to walk today in your good and pleasing and perfect will. I rejoice in hope. I am patient in tribulation, and I am instant in prayer!

Acts 28; Romans 1&3; 2 Corinthians 5

Thank you, Father, that the message of your salvation has come to me, and I have heard it. You have given me ears to hear and a heart to understand; eyes to see and a new nature to perceive; a soft heart and understanding of your sweet gift.

I am saved and lifted up by your gospel. It is your power for my salvation and for everyone who believes. You have shown me your righteousness accredited to me through faith in Jesus as your Christ and my Lord and Savior. Now I live by faith, faith to faith.

By the deeds of the law no flesh is justified. Your righteousness, Father, comes through faith in Jesus, for all have sinned and fallen short of your glory, but through faith in Jesus, as our propitiation, by your grace, we are justified and redeemed. You pass over our sins. You, Father, are just and the justifier of all who have faith in Jesus

I am in Christ, and I am a new creation. Old stuff of me has passed away, and behold, all of me is now new. I am reconciled to you, Father, through Jesus Christ, and I have become your righteousness. 

Daniel 5&6

Lord God, there was a time, a dark time in my life, when I was not humble in heart. I was hateful and self-serving. I held myself up against you, Lord, even though I knew better.

One night, with your finger, you wrote on the wall of my mind, and I saw how lost and enslaved I was, and in your mercy, you granted me repentance. I confessed my sin and turned back to you, my God and my Lord.

Now your excellent Spirit fills me. I have become faithful and sanctified by your truth. I know you are my God and Father, and that you hold my every breath in your hand, and that you own all my ways. I glorify you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Now I belong to you, Father. You send your angels to guard over me, to stop any who would devour me. I am guarded and gifted and guided by you, because my faith is in you and in your living word.

You are the living God, and you are steadfast forever. Your kingdom will prevail and overcome. It cannot be destroyed. Your dominion endures to the end.

You deliver, and you rescue. You work signs and wonders in heaven and on earth. You deliver me and all those who are yours from the power of the lions. 

Daniel 4,3,4

Oh Lord, how great are your signs and how mighty your wonders! Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion is from generation to generation.

Blessed are you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for you deliver me, and all who are yours. You give us faith to stand against unrighteous rulers, and to worship you as the true and only God. You deliver us from fiery furnaces and from foolish delusions. You make us your servants, for your Holy Spirit dwells in each of us, who are yours.

You are the most high, and you rule the earth, and you give it to whoever you choose. You are the king of heaven and earth. Your works are truth, and your ways are justice. I have been taught your sovereignty by your spirit, and shown that all who walk in pride will be put down.

By your grace and truth, my understanding has become clear, and my reasoning has been sanctified, and I am able now to live forever in the peace and glory and splendor of your kingdom.

Hebrews 2; John 17; Hebrews 2

Lord Jesus, you are sanctified, and now you sanctify me with your truth. Your word is truth. Now I am one with you, and you call me brother. You took on flesh like me that, through your death, you destroyed the power of the devil and released me from any bondage to the fear of death.

You are my merciful and faithful high priest, in all matters, relating me and reconciling me to God, our father. You made perfect and complete propitiation for my sins.

Therefore, I give earnest heed to your word, Lord Jesus, and to your Holy Spirit, who dwells in me. I stay close, united to you. I pay attention to this great and beautiful salvation you have bought for me and brought to me.

God, our father, has witnessed you to me, Lord, by renewing my mind and transforming my character with his living word, and through the gift of his personal, eternal presence, in the person of God, the Spirit, living in me and leading me in every thought and action.

I was called and chosen to become yours, Lord Jesus. By your perfect life and atoning sacrifice, all things were accomplished for me, and I was brought into the kingdom of God as a son, with you, Lord Jesus, as the Captain of my salvation.

Acts 9&10; Hebrews 2

Thank you, Father, for choosing me to be yours. You have given me sight to see you and filled me with your Holy Spirit to be led by you and to be in constant communion with you. Today I walk in the fear of you, Father God, and in your comfort, Holy Spirit.

Truly, Lord, you are not partial with race or nationality, but from every nation, you accept any and all who will fear you and receive your work of righteousness by faith in Jesus, your Christ.

I have peace through Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all. You, Father, anointed Jesus of Nazareth with your Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for you, Father, were with him.

You, Father, ordained that Christ, my Lord, would die hanging on a tree as the perfect propitiation for sin. You proved your satisfaction by raising Jesus up from the dead on the third day and showing him openly to many witnesses, who ate and drank with him.

He commanded us to preach and to testify that he is the Messiah, and that he is ordained to be the judge of the living and the dead. Through his name, all who believe in him will receive remission of sin. He is the captain of our salvation. 

John 21,17, & 16

Lord Jesus, I love you, and I will feed your young ones. I love you, Lord, and I will shepherd the flock that you have given me. My Lord Jesus, you are the Christ, and you are my Lord and Savior, and I love you. I will witness your salvation to all who will listen.

I live in your divine plans and in your details for my life. I do not worry. I just follow you. I have not seen you with my eyes, but I believe. I have seen the effect of your indwelling Holy Spirit and your word on my life, my thoughts, my hope, and my character, so I know your person, your presence, and your power.

You are the way, the truth, and the life, and you are sanctified by your perfect life, and I am sanctified by faith in the truth of your life and your word.

You have declared the Father to me, and you have told me of the perfect love of the Father, who dwells in me.

Someday, I will see you face-to-face, Lord Jesus, and my heart will rejoice, and I will be filled with joy everlasting.

You and the Father are with me, and I have peace. In this world, there will be tribulation, but I am of good cheer, because I am in you, Lord Jesus, and you have overcome the world! 

John 14

Lord Jesus, my heart is not troubled, for I believe in God, our father, and I believe in you, my savior. In God’s house, there is plenty of room, and you have gone there to prepare a place for me.

Someday you will receive me to yourself, that where you are, I will be with you. I know where I am headed, and I know you are the way, the truth, and the life. I come to our father through you, Lord Jesus. I know you, and by that, I know our father, Almighty God.

You and the Father are one, Lord Jesus. You are in the Father, and the Father is in you. The words you speak are his words.

I believe in you, Lord Jesus, and you do great works in me and through me. I ask that you save me from sin and perfect my heart toward God, and transform my character and renew my mind, and you do all that and more, for my good and for your glory.

I keep my eyes on your living word, and you and the Father love me, and you make your abode in me, now and forever! 

Psalm 146 & 147

Hallelujah! You are my God; therefore, I am happy. You are my ever present help. My hope is in you, for you are my master. I bow before you. You raise me up. You sharpen me and clean me. You open my eyes so I can see, and you birth your kingdom in me.

I sing praise to you, my great, loving Father. You gather me up with your people from all over your creation. You heal my broken heart, and you bind up my wounds.

You, oh Lord, are great and mighty in power. Your understanding is tender, accurate, and eternal. I am humble before you, helpless without you, and you lift me up and guide me to be a useful vessel to you.

I fear you, Lord, with honor and respect, with a desire to live in obedience to you, with Jesus, your Christ, as my Lord and Master. You take pleasure in me, and you are merciful to me.

Praise you, my Lord!
