Beyond Understanding

The peace of God which passes all understanding mounts guard over my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I fix my thoughts on those things that are true and honorable and just and pure and lovely and commendable and excellent. Only those things which are praiseworthy last; those are the only thoughts worth letting my mind dwell on.  What I have learned from God’s word and heard from his fellowship, these are the things I will dwell on and act on. By gods grace and power I am dailyly conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus. I am a reflector of his glory. The peace of God is with me, on me and flows through me!

Poured into My Heart

I am filled with hope because God’s love has been poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit who has been given to me.  Jesus, the Christ, died for me while I was still lost in sin. By that God showed his love for me. I have been justified by Jesus’ sacrificial death and I am saved from the wrath of God.

For, if while I was gods enemy, I was reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall I be saved by his life.  And even more than that, I also rejoice in God through my Lord Jesus, the Christ, through whom I have now received reconciliation.

The grace of God and a free gift, by that grace, from Jesus have abounded to me. I reign in life, God life, through the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness. Thank you, father.

No Fear in Love

I love God because he first loved me. God abides in me and his love is perfected in me. By this I know that I abide in him, and him in me, because he has given me of his spirit.  I see and testify that the father has sent his son to be the savior of the world.

I confess that Jesus is the son of God; God abides in me and I abide in God. I have come to know and believe the love that God has for me.  God is love and I abide in that love and God abides in me. By this, love is perfected in me so that I may have confidence in the day of judgment. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.

I have the power in me to love others because I have dwelt on the fact that God loves me.

With Gladness

I make a joyful noise to you today, oh Lord! I serve you with gladness; I come into your presence with singing!

I know that you are God, oh Lord! That it is you who made me and I am yours; I am your man and a sheep of your pasture. I belong to you and I thank you for claiming me.  I enter your gates with thanksgiving and your courts with praise. I give thanks to you. I say, bless your holy name!

For you, my Lord, are good. Your steadfast love endures forever and your faithfulness to all generations. You are my shepherd, oh Lord, and I want for nothing. You make me lie down in green pastures; you lead me beside still waters; you restore my soul; you lead me in paths of righteousness for your name’s  sake. I dwell with you forever.

Filled with Hope

I am filled with hope because God’s love has been poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit who is been given to me. Jesus, the Christ, died for me, while I was still lost in sin, by that God showed his love for me.  I have been justified by Jesus’ sacrificial death and I am saved from the wrath of God.

For If while I was God’s enemy I was reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall I be saved by his life.  And even more than that, I also rejoice in God through my Lord Jesus, the Christ, through whom I have now received reconciliation.  The grace of God and the free gift, by that grace, from Jesus, have abounded to me. I reign in life, God life, through the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness. Thank you, father.

Shepherd the Flock

By gods grace I shepherd the flock of god that is around me. I look them over, willingly and eagerly being an example for them. When the chief Shepherd appears I will receive the unfading crown of glory. I put on every day, humility, for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.  Therefore, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt me. I cast all my anxieties on him, because he cares for me.

I am sober minded and watchful. My adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. I resist him form not my faith, knowing that other brethern before me have experienced the trials and prevailed through faith; knowing that after a while the God of all grace who has called me to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish me.

Called By The Father

Christ suffered in the flesh. By god’s grace I also am crucified with Christ; I no longer live but Christ lives in me, so I have ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of my time in the flesh, no longer for human passions but for the will of God. I am tempered and sober minded  by the word of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit. By gods grace I love others. I show hospitality. I use the gifts of God to serve others. I pray that when I speak, the words will be the very words of God. I pray that I serve by the strength of God in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus, the Christ, alive in me.

Today I humble myself under the mighty hand of God. I cast all my cares on him for he cares for me. I resist the devil, firm in my faith, knowing that the God of all grace who has called me to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself  restore, confirm, strengthen and establish me.

Worthy

Lord, thank you that today you make me worthy of your calling for my life and that you fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith that you have placed in me, by your power.  By your grace and according to your word I resolve that I belong to you. I have been bought with a price; I am no longer my own. This life I live today I live by and in the faith of the Lord Jesus who loves me and gave himself for me

I am encouraged today that you have made an everlasting covenant with me that you will not turn away of doing good to me; that you rejoice in doing me good.  I set my eyes today on my Lord Jesus, the Christ. I press on to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. God is for me so no one can prevail against me in his will. My Lord gives life to my mortal body through his Spirit who dwells in me.  Today I am led by the Spirit of God and I will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Free indeed!

Fully Persuaded

I am fully persuaded that what God has promised he is able to perform. I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.  For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, my Lord.

For by the grace of God and according to the prayers of Jesus, I am one with God, the father, and the Lord Jesus, the Christ. The presence (glory) of the father with Jesus, now also dwells in me, so that I may become perfectly one with the Godhead, so that I may be with my Lord Jesus where he is.  Jesus has made known God, the father, to me and continues to make him known to me each day, so that I know that God, the father, loves me with the love of a perfect father. Thank you, Lord, for your presence.

Cleansed

Thank you, Lord, that by your grace and sacrifice I am cleansed. I am a honorable vessel in your hands, set apart as holy, useful to you, ready for every good work.  I am your workmanship set apart for good works which you, father, ordained before hand that I would walk in in Christ Jesus. I am led by your spirit. I flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

I am not quarrelsome or easily provoked, but I am kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting with gentleness; confident that God will grant repentance to many folk leading them to a knowledge of the truth and then they will come to their senses  and escape from the snare of the devil, after having been captured to do his will.
