In Every Situation

Ephesians 6

I know I am in a battle beyond my human strength. I battle against spiritual hosts of wickedness. You, Father, in your mercy and grace, give me spiritual armor, and I am able to withstand in the evil day and do all that you want me to do. I am strong in you, Lord Jesus, strong in the person of your might.

You, Holy Spirit, lead me now, and I know the truth in every situation. My heart is protected from my unrighteous past because now Christ is my righteousness. I move through life now step-by-step because I have your gospel, Father, to feed on and to share with others who hunger.

My thoughts have become your thoughts, Father, because I know you have saved me from sin and filled me with healing, deliverance, and freedom from my flesh.

Now, when attacks of accusation and regret come against me, I can, through faith, extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Now I am able to hack against the deception of the wicked one with your living word, Father. Praying with perseverance and supplication, I am able to stand and, by your power, keep standing in Christ.

For All Things

Ephesians 5; 1 Corinthians 6; Ephesians 5

I study your ways, Father, to be a person conformed to the image of Christ Jesus. I walk in love, first of all, recognizing and remembering that Christ loves me and gave himself for me, as a sweet and perfectly satisfying offering.

He purchased me at an infinite price. Now, gladly, I am no longer my own, rather I belong to you, Father.

I am forgiven of my past sins, and sinfulness no longer owns me. Filthiness, coarseness, covetousness, and lusts are no longer part of me. Now, in Christ, I live in thankfulness acting through love.

In the past, I lived in darkness, but now I live in the light of the Lord Jesus. I walk as a child of light. I love to live a life acceptable to you, Father. What joy it is to live in your will.

Holy Spirit, you fill me, and I speak with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I sing and make melody in my heart to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, giving thanks always for all things.

A Fellow Citizen

Ephesians 2

You, Lord Jesus, are my peace. You have broken down the wall of separation between me and God the Father’s salvation. You have abolished with your sacrifice, the enmity that existed between me and the Father because of my lawlessness.

Now, by grace through faith, I am born from above. You, Lord Jesus, have created me a new man in you. In you, Lord, I have peace with God. I am reconciled to God and made a member of your body through your cross, Lord Jesus.

There was enmity between me and our father, but you came and preached peace to me. You did all that had to be done to become my way of access, by your Holy Spirit, to the Father.

Now, hallelujah, I am no longer a stranger to God dead in my sins and trespasses. Instead, Father, through Christ, I am a fellow citizen with all the other saints and a member of your household.

Crucified to the World

Galatians 6

I am not deceived, Father. I know that you are not mocked. All the foolishness, lies, and perversions that are going on in our country, and that are being spouted out by our “leaders” will come back around and yield a crop of corruption and horror.

Please, Lord, keep your people safe from this corruption. Fill us with your spirit. Direct our eyes to you and your mercy and power. Guard us and encourage us that we would not grow weary of doing your word, that we would not lose heart.

You have finished the work, Lord Jesus. I rest in that. I boast in you, Lord, and in your love and faithfulness, and in your courage to go to the cross for me. By your life and death and resurrection, the world has been crucified to me, and I have been crucified to the world. 

All That Matters

Galatians 3&4; 2 Corinthians 5

I am your son, Father, through faith in Christ Jesus. I was baptized into Christ, and I have put on Christ. It’s not about my background or my social status or my gender. All that matters is that I am one with you, Father, in Christ Jesus.

At your ordained time, you sent forth your son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem all who are yours, that we could receive adoption as your children.

Now, because I am your child, you have put the spirit of the Lord Jesus into my heart. By your spirit, I know I am your child, and I cry out to you, Abba, Father.

Now, Father, I am an heir of yours through Christ. Everything now in my life is from you, Father. I am reconciled to you through Jesus Christ. You are in Christ, reconciling me to you and not charging my trespasses against me and committing to me a ministry of reconciliation.

Now and Forever

2 Corinthians 12&13

Hallelujah! The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, my father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit is with me.

I am weak, but the power of Christ rests on me. For though he was crucified in weakness, yet now he lives by the power of God. I am also weak, but now I live with you, Lord Jesus, by the power of God, our father.

I examine myself. I am living in faith. I know that you, Lord, dwell in me. I am complete in you, Lord Jesus.

I have your mind in every situation. I live in your peace, a peace that passes understanding. Our father, the God of Love and Peace, is with us, and we are with him now and forever.

Every Word

2 Corinthians 10

I do still live in this flesh, but I am no longer led by my flesh. Now I am born from above. I have a new man dwelling in me through your Holy Spirit, Father. I belong to you now, Lord Jesus, and you equip me with spiritual weapons.

I am transformed as you renew my mind, day by day, with your living word and your personal communion. Now I have illumination by your mighty truth.

I pull down the strongholds of past hurts and ungodly labels that have attached to me.

I carefully examine what I believe about issues in life, and I cast down old high beliefs that hold themselves up against the knowledge from you, Father.

Now day by day, I examine each thought, and those that disagree with your word, Lord Jesus, I grab them and force them to change and to agree with every word that proceeds from your mouth.

Now and Now

2 Corinthians 6&7

Father, with Isaiah you foretold me that an acceptable time would come; that a day would come for salvation. For me, now is the accepted time, and now is the day of salvation.

By your grace and the gift of your Holy Spirit, I am your temple. You dwell in me, and you walk with me. You are my God, and I am your person.

Therefore, I have come out from among those who will not believe, those who live to defy you, Father. I am now separate from them.

I do not touch what is unclean. I am your child, filled with your nature. You are my father.

I live in your promises, and I cleanse myself of all filthiness of flesh and spirit. I am perfected in holiness in a reverent fear and love of you, Father.

Revive

2 Corinthians 4; Romans 12; Ephesians 2; 1 Peter 5

I do not look at the things that are seen in this life, but at the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary, but the unseen things are eternal.

Therefore, I do not lose heart, even though outwardly, I am perishing, because I know, inwardly, you are renewing me day by day. You, Father, through your Holy Spirit, are renewing my mind and transforming me every moment of every day.

The prince of the power of the air has deceived many in our country, and they walk in sin and foolishness according to the course of this world. They are truly sons of disobedience.

I was once among them, but you, Father, in your mercy and love, even while I was dead in trespasses, made me alive together with Christ.

So I do not lose hope. I humble myself under your mighty hand, Father, and I pray for my country. I cast these cares on you for I know you care for me and for all who are yours.

Revive us and revive this country. Perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle our country into one nation under you as Almighty God.

Manifested

2 Corinthians 3&4

Father, your gospel is veiled to those who are perishing. Their minds are blinded by the god of this age. They do not believe.

The veil is taken away in Christ. By your grace and call, I have turned to the Lord Jesus, and the veil is taken away. Now the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of you, Father, shines in me.

I behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, and I am transformed into the same image from glory to glory, by your Holy Spirit.

You give me the light of the knowledge of your very presence in me by the gift of your Holy Spirit. I have your spirit filling me like a treasure in a clay jar. It is obvious to me that this living, transforming power comes from you, Father, and not from me. The very life of Jesus is manifested in my mortal flesh.
