Poured Out in Abundance

Titus 3,2&3

Thank you, father, that in accord with your mercy you saved me. You washed me with regeneration and the renewing of your Holy Spirit whom you poured out on me in abundance through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

Now I have been justified by your grace, Lord Jesus, and I am an heir according to the hope of eternal life.

Your grace, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, has appeared to me. You have brought me salvation and taught me to deny ungodliness and worldly lust. Now I live soberly, righteously, and Godly in this present age.

I keep my eyes on you, Lord Jesus, and your word. I see your blessed hope and look forward to your glorious appearing.

Your work, Lord Jesus, has redeemed me from every lawless deed and purified me, so that I am your special friend, zealous to believe you, to love you, and to be of use to you, my Lord and Savior.

I avoid arguments for they are unprofitable and useless. I reject devisive people, and I press on to maintain good works and to meet urgent needs, so that I may be fruitful to your honor and glory, father.

Establish Me

2 Thessalonians 2&3

You are God, father, and I thank you that you have loved me and given me everlasting consolation and good hope by your grace.

Now, Lord Jesus, by your presence dwelling in me, take charge of me. Comfort my heart, and establish me in your good work and in the work you have declared beforehand that I would walk in.

Deliver me from unreasonable and wicked people, Lord. I know you are faithful to establish me and to guard me from the evil one. I have confidence in your presence in me.

I know that you will lead me in divine strategy, and that I will thereby be obedient to do all that you command. You direct my heart, father, and I love you with all my heart, and soul, and strength.

I am patient in Christ. I withdraw from disorderly people and from doctrine that does not agree with your word, father. I like to work in quietness and peace, and eat my own bread. I enjoy good. And you, the Lord of Peace, are my peace always in every way.

Whatever I Do

Colossians 3; 1 Corinthians 1; Colossians 3

Fill me, Holy Spirit and take charge of my every thought. Speak to my heart so that I will know the thoughts, intents, and purposes of your heart.

By your presence, Holy Spirit, the word of Christ dwells in me richly in all wisdom, righteousness, redemption, and sanctification. Your word, through fellowship with me, teaches and admonishes me as well as those who hear me.

I muse and meditate on your word in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs. I sing to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with grace in my heart for your love and salvation.

Whatever I do in word or deed, I do all in your name, Lord Jesus, and I give thanks to you, father, through Jesus. Whatever I do, I do it heartily as to you, father, and not to men, knowing that from you I received the reward of the inheritance, for I serve my Lord Jesus Christ.

Those Who Remain

Colossians 3

Your wrath, father, is coming on those who remain sons of disobedience. Once I walked as one of them, but by your grace and call I have been born again. I have been raised with Christ, and now I seek those things which are above.

I put off anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, foolish talk, and filthy language. I tell the truth. I put off the old man and put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge every day, all day, according to your Holy Spirit who lives in me.

I begin to be conformed to the image of Jesus, your son, father. Now I am no longer concerned with Jew or gentile, old or young, race or gender, instead it is all about Christ. He is all and in all, and his presence in me makes all my life divine.

I am elect of God. I put on mercy, kindness, humility, and patience. I am quick to forgive. Your peace, father, rules in my heart, and I am thankful.

The Substance

Colossians 2&3

Father, by your grace to me, I continue in the faith. I am grounded and steadfast, and I am not moved away from the omnipotent hope of your gospel.

I have received Christ Jesus as my Lord. I walk with him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith as your word teaches. I abound in thanksgiving.

Your word and your Spirit, father, dwell in me, so that I am not confused by worldly philosophy or outright deceit. I am not judged in food or drink or in regard to festivals or sabbaths. These are merely shadows, but the substance is ceaseless communion with Christ.

Jesus is the head of your body, and from him each of us is nourished and knit together as members of your body. Therefore, I have died with Christ to the basic principles of the world and from the passions of the flesh, and I have been born again in Christ, and I seek those things that are yours, father.

My Hope

1 Corinthians 2; Colossians 1; 1 Corinthians 1; Colossians 2; John 14

Thank you, father, for an understanding of your hidden wisdom; your mystery which many in the past have not known or understood. But now, through your word and your illumination, you have revealed the things you have prepared for us who love you.

You have made known to me the riches of the glory of your means which is Christ in me. Him dwelling in me is my hope of glory. His person in me is glorious, and he is wisdom, righteousness, redemption, and sanctification for me.

Now as I commune with you, father, I attain to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding to the knowledge of your mysterious means of sovereign victory.

You revealed your love to me. I began to love you and to keep my eyes on your word. You gave me your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, who abides in me forever. You did not leave me orphaned, but you came to me.

You, Lord Jesus, are in the father, and you are in me, and I am in you. I know your word, and I feast on your word. I keep my eyes on your word, and I love you, and I realize you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, love me, and you make your abode in me.

Delivered

Colossians 1; Ephesians 2; Colossians 1; Ephesians 2; Colossians 1

Thank you, father, that by your grace you chose to qualify me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness, and you have conveyed me into the kingdom of your beloved son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Jesus I have redemption by his atoning sacrifice, and my sins are forgiven. By your grace, through faith in Jesus’s work, I am saved.

I once was alienated from you, father, sold out to wicked works and perverted lusts, but now you have opened my eyes and granted me repentance and true forgiveness.

Now I am filled with knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I am led by your Holy Spirit, father, and able to walk worthy of you, fully pleasing to you and fruitful in every good work.

For I am your workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which you, father, ordained beforehand that I would walk in. I am grounded and steadfast in Christ, and I am rooted in the hope of your gospel, father. I know the riches of your glory.

I Abound

Philippians 4&3; Romans 8; Philippians 1; Ephesians 1; Romans 15

Father, today I meditate on things that are good and true and pure. I looked for things with virtue and for actions that are praiseworthy. I study to learn from your word and from the lives of your people who I am in Christ and how I should be.

My goal is to be who you called me to be in Christ. I know that you, the God of Peace, foreknew me, and that you have predestined me to be conformed to the image of your son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Moreover, those whom you predestine you also call, who you call, you also justify, and whom you justify, you also glorified. You are for me, Lord, so it is certain that nothing and no one can prevail against your will with my life.

Therefore, I am certain you will complete all that you have begun in me. I know that in your timing I will arrive before you holy, blameless, and complete in Christ.

I have peace and joy through faith in you, father. And by the power and presence in me of you, Holy Spirit, I abound in hope.

Eagerly Await

Philippians 3 &4

Father, I stand fast in Christ Jesus. I forget those things which are behind, and I reach forward to those things which are ahead. I press on toward the goal of your upward call to be wholly in Christ.

You have given me the gift of faith and the living bread of your word. So, I walk with Christ in maturity with peace and humility. If any disagree with me, Lord, you reveal your truth to them.

For my citizenship is in heaven, and from there, I eagerly await my savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform my lowly body, so that, it will be conformed to his glorious body according to the divine power that makes him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

So, I rejoice in your salvation, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and again and again, in good times and in trouble, I rejoice. You are in me, Lord, and my moderation is obvious to all.

I am anxious of nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I make my request known to you, father, and your peace, which surpasses understanding, mounts guard over my heart and my mind.

I Belong

Philippians 3; 1 Corinthians 6; Philippians 3

Father, thank you for your salvation. I belong to you now. I have been bought with a price, and I am no longer my own.

Now, father, you work in me through the presence of your Holy Spirit and your word of life. You work your will in my actions, so that I am a pleasure to you.

I am led by your Spirit, and I do the things you have for me to do without disputing or complaining. In Christ I am your child without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

Your light in me shines for me and shines out to those around me as a beacon of hope; as a light in the world.

I have divine joy in Christ Jesus, and I put no confidence in the flesh. I count all the fleshy stuff and selfish lust as past loss, and instead, I pursue a living daily relationship with Christ Jesus, my Lord.

I am bound no longer to the things that this world calls important. I count them as rubbish, and instead, I choose Christ. I press on that I may lay hold of Jesus as he has laid hold of me. I know him in his power and in his fellowship.
