Introduction

365 Days of Power is a powerful collection of prayers and

confessions that are designed to help you grow strong in

your walk with God. Each devotional prayer and correlated

confession is based on a powerful Scripture and an in-depth

Greek word study taken from Rick Renner’s 1,100-page

devotional, Sparkling Gems From the Greek. This smaller

version, containing all the original prayers and confessions,

is designed to make it easy for you to read and apply these

“gems” of God’s truth on a daily basis.

When you pray and confess the Word over your life

every day, you will strengthen your inner man and grow in

faith and confidence. Never underestimate the power of

God’s Word. It is full of life and will minister healing and

strength to you in every area!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God’s supernatural peace dominates me. When I am

tempted to get upset and my emotions try to take control of me, I

put these emotions aside and allow the Spirit of God to release a

supernatural, dominating, moderating peace to rule my heart,

mind, and emotions. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am refilled and recharged with the Spirit of

God. There is no lack of strength in me because Jesus continuously

provides a huge supply of the Spirit in my life that empowers me to

achieve everything I need to do. There is no excuse for me to fail

or to stop short of the goals God has given me for my life, because

in the Spirit of God there is enough supernatural strength and

power to energize me to finish my divine assignment. I declare this

by faith in Jesus’ name!

always delivered me from difficult times, and He will rescue and

deliver me now as well. Today I will dwell on those past moments

when God did for me what everyone thought was impossible. Just

as He intervened on my behalf in the past, He will intervene on my

behalf again! I will not succumb to fear, doubt, or failure. With

God’s help, I will conquer what the enemy meant for my downfall

life; therefore, I am consistent and habitual in my prayer time.

Nothing is a higher priority than the time I spend every day with

do anything about myself or my circumstance, today I start the

process of acknowledging my sin and removing these attitudes,

actions, and sins that are unworthy of who I am today in Christ. I

Jude 1:23

My Prayer for To d ay

Lord, help me know exactly what to say and

what to do when I see fellow brothers or sisters

who are headed in a wrong spiritual direction.

Give me Your heart, Your wisdom, and Your

boldness to speak the words I need to speak.

Help me love them enough to speak the truth to

them. I realize the consequences of sin are

great, so please help me do everything within

my ability to see them rescued as soon as pos-

sible. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am moved to action when I see fellow believers

caught in sin. I pray and believe for their deliverance. I go to them

in love to express my concerns to them. I love them enough to

speak the truth. I act fast on their behalf and do what I can to save

them. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

much I love and appreciate them. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I am thankful for the relationships God has placed in my life. They

are a blessing to me, and I am a blessing to them. God brought us

together, and Satan will not tear us apart. I will learn to love them

more dearly, forgive them more quickly, and show them the same

patience I want them to show me. I am richly blessed with some of

the best friends I could ever ask for! I declare this by faith in Jesus’

Lord, I want to learn how to follow the leading

heart, I request that You help me become sen-

sitive to Him so that He can lead me in all the

paths You have designed for my life. I pray this

in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am spiritually sensitive and that the Holy Spirit is

actively leading my life. I am His constant tag-along-—watching

what He’s doing, where He’s going, and how He’s leading. I am so

sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading that I pick up every “nudge”

He puts in my heart. He is my Leader, and I faithfully follow wher-

ever He leads me to go. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am filled with the Spirit of God. I am spe-

cially made by God to be the container of the Holy Spirit. He lives

in me, He fills me, and He empowers me to conquer every attack

that the devil tries to bring against me. God knew I needed this

power and therefore gave it to me. I boldly confess that I am filled

with the supernatural, wonderworking, and dynamic power of the

Holy Spirit! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare that Satan does not have the power to keep me down and

depressed! When life comes against me and the devil tries to tell

me that I have no hope of ever getting out of my problems, I run to

people of faith so I can get encouraged. I don’t fall out of fellow-

ship, and I don’t stay away from church. I am faithful in my church

am to remain spiritually fresh and empowered

to serve others. When life gets so busy that I

think there is no time to spend with You, help

me refocus and reschedule my life so that my

relationship with You remains my greatest pri-

ority. And after I’ve been refreshed by Your

Word and Your Presence, help me then to min-

ister the fullness of Your Spirit and Your love to

those around me. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly proclaim by faith that my spiritual life is my number-one

priority. I pay attention to my walk with God, and I do everything I

can do to make sure my spiritual life is alive, growing, and con-

stantly reaching out for more of the Lord. I am sensitive to God’s

Spirit. I am attuned to His Word. As a result of putting my own spir-

itual life first, I am filled with enough power and love to adequately

serve the needs of those who are around me. I declare this by faith

others. I am so filled with the riches of God’s Word that I automat-

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am important to the plan of God. I am an ambas-

employment, and to my neighborhood. I have been invested with

royal powers, including the name of Jesus and the authority of the

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that the Word of God dwells richly in me. It has such a

grand reception in my life that it literally feels at home in me.

Because I give it this place of prominence in my life, it produces

phenomenal amounts of spiritual wealth in my life. I have so many

what no one else was willing to do. He went into the slave market,

found me, and bought me for Himself. For the rest of my life, I will

Keep Envy and Strife Out of Your Life

Lord, I ask You to forgive me for the times I

have allowed strife to get into my heart. Also,

James 3:16

please forgive me for those occasions when I

have been the origin of strife and fighting. Help

me grow in discernment so I can quickly rec-

ognize when the devil is trying to create divi-

sion. Show me how to be a peacekeeper and a

source of harmony rather than a player in the

midst of others’ wrong attitudes. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I do not yield to envy and strife. When the opportu-

nity for strife arises, I beat Satan at his own game by choosing to

respectfully make room for the ideas, thoughts, and opinions of

others. Even if I don’t agree with what they say, I let them know

that I value their right to have a differing opinion. I maintain an

attitude of staying on the same side with my fellow believers;

therefore, I put the devil on the run and keep him out of my rela-

tionships. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have spiritual weapons to defeat the enemy. I walk

in those weapons and use them every time the devil tries to attack

my life or the lives of those I love. Because I have the whole armor

of God, I am fit and equipped to shove back every assault the devil

may try to bring against me. God has more than adequately outfit-

works in my mind; safeguards my emotions; defends my mind from

demonic assault; and shields me from the arrows the enemy tries to

shoot in my direction in order to arouse a spirit of fear inside me.

When the devil tries to convince me that I’m losing my mind or to

confuse me with stressful situations, I get alone with the Lord and give

my concerns to Him. As I focus on Jesus and release all those burdens,

I find that my mind is working fine. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

he flees from me. No matter what demonic strategy may come

together for my destruction, I NEVER have to go down in defeat.

I proclaim that regardless of what I look like in the natural realm,

I am a menace to the devil in the spiritual realm. In that sphere, I

am anointed and powerful, with the ability to pull down strong-

that the devil and his forces flee when I resist them. I declare this

1 Thessalonians

My Prayer for To d ay

5:19

Lord, help me to quickly obey when the Spirit

of God prompts me to do something. The last

thing I want to do is throw water on the flames

of the Spirit in my heart. Forgive me for suffo-

cating the life of the Holy Spirit in me by refus-

ing to do what He tells me to do. From this

point onward, I make the choice to quickly

obey, but I need Your strength to do this. So

today I am asking You to fill me anew with

brand-new courage to step out in faith, to

quickly obey, and to leave the results with You.

I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am quick to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. When

He tugs at my heart, pointing me in a specific direction or leading

me to minister to a certain person, I do not hold back, hesitate, or

resist. Instead, I say, “Lord, I’ll do whatever You want me to do!” I

then step out in faith and watch as His power is demonstrated to

me and through me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

He will do for all. Every believer possesses the same promises, the

same faith, the same power, the same Spirit, and the same Jesus

who sits at the right hand of God to make intercession for us. These

promises belong to me today! Because I choose to put my whole

heart into my assigned task and to do more than average work, I

know I will reap more than average results. I am deeply commit-

the goals and aspirations God has given to me. I declare this by

I do not tolerate things in my life that make it difficult for me to

I declare that I am not ignorant of Satan’s devices. Because the

Holy Spirit is my Teacher, I know how to recognize the onset of

Satan’s attack as he starts maneuvering to frustrate my plans. I am

not in the dark about the devil; therefore, the enemy finds it very

difficult to take advantage of me. Because my mind has been illu-

are aborted by the power of God. I will not be taken down by any

strategy the enemy tries to use against me. I declare this by faith in

want my desires and affection to be set on You,

so if I begin to walk and talk like an unbeliever

and give my life to the things of this world,

please nudge me and bring conviction to my

heart to change. And if I refuse to listen, I ask

You to please move with divine malice toward

those things that have usurped Your role in my

life. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I respect the Holy Spirit’s Presence in my life; there-

f o re, I am careful in the way I think, the way I speak, and the way I

connect with the world around me. I do not grieve the Spirit of God

by allowing worldliness to become a part of my life. He fierc e l y

wants more of me, and I want more of Him. The Holy Spirit is the top

priority in my life, and I never do anything that would make Him feel

wounded, grieved, or envious. I live a life that pleases Him! I declare

this by faith in Jesus’ name!

L o rd, I admit that I’ve been carrying the

worries, stresses, and pressures of life for too

long. Before I do anything else, I want to cast

these burdens over onto You today. I am

tempted to worry that the problems I’m facing

won’t work out, but taking them into my own

hands and worrying about them isn’t going to

make the situation any better. So I repent for

letting myself become consumed with worry

about things I cannot change, and I turn them

all over to You today. Please help me stay free of

anxiety as I learn to relax and enjoy life a little

more than I’ve been enjoying it lately. I pray

this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I need to set aside time for relaxation and recreation.

Starting today, I’m going to take a break from my problems. I am

casting my burdens on the Lord; as a result, I know I will be refreshed,

recharged, and given a renewed vision. After a little rest, I will see my

challenge with new eyes, and I’ll face it with new strength. I know my

survival depends on this, so today I choose to take a break from the

constant stress I’ve been dealing with before I get worn down and

become easy prey for the devil. God will give me the strength and

energy I need to get up and get going so I can complete the work He

has entrusted into my hands. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

2 Timothy 3:1

I am alive in this generation. Since these days

are filled with greater risk than any other gen-

eration has ever known, I need faith to face

these times victoriously. I need wisdom to min-

ister to others who are wounded and hurt. So

today I ask You to help me embrace this time as

a part of my destiny and to become strong in

faith so I can reach out to those who are near

me and who need spiritual assistance. Help me

to recognize their need and to know exactly

how I should respond to help them. I pray this

in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am chosen and equipped to live in this last

generation. The Word of God protects my mind, my family, and

everything that is a part of my life. I will renew my mind with the

Word of God and get God’s perspective about what His role is for

me in these last days. Therefore, I will be a blessing and a help to

people who have been victimized by these difficult and trying

times. Rather than hide in fear, I will move out with the power of

God and stay ever-ready to minister to those who have suffered

harm because of the times in which we live. I declare this by faith

enough pressure in the whole world to make me move and give it

limitations and seek out those who have the gifts and talents I

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God’s Word overcomes the weaknesses in my per-

sonality and character. God calls me to be “steadfast”—and I AM

steadfast. God and people see me like a pillar that stands in its

place and helps to hold things together. I am so dependable that

people can lean on me, counting on the fact that I will always be

there to help keep things together. When events occur that shake

up the world around me, I am not easily excited, shaken, or

affected. Praise God, I am becoming more and more dependable

whom they can rely. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

godly examples, I can imitate these people’s lives and produce the

same fruit they produce in their lives. So right now I choose to

follow the examples of those who have preceded me—acting like

them and replicating both their acts and their godly fruit in my life.

God’s Word says this is what I am to do, so I will do it as I am com-

manded. The Holy Spirit will help me know exactly who should be

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I don’t hold grudges or bitterness against anyone who

has wronged me in the past. Just as I’ve been forgiven, I freely

forgive. As others gave me a second chance, I give people the benefit

of the doubt and allow them to prove themselves even if they’ve done

something to hurt me. The devil can’t paralyze me with fears of being

hurt again, because I refuse to allow that kind of fear to operate

inside me. I have too much to do to let the devil immobilize me with

me to stay open-minded and correctable. Help

me to always maintain a humble spirit and to

strive to get along with the key people You have

placed in my life. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have a teachable, correctable spirit. People love to

work with me because I strive to be cooperative and to show

appreciation for those who are working with me toward a common

goal. When an idea is presented that is new or different to me, I

think carefully before I open my mouth to respond. Even if I dis-

agree, I don’t show disrespect for anyone in the group. I realize

that I am not always right and that others may be correct, so I make

and I honor their right to hold a position that is different from

mine. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, the devil was utterly

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am a serious contender for doing the will of God.

In spite of what the devil and life may try to throw at me, I will

walk away as the winner. I will survive hard times and thus pro v e

the sincerity of my faith. Mine isn’t a flawed faith that tucks its tail

and runs. I am the kind of Christian who sticks it out to the end!

I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am being changed so God can use me to the

degree He desires. Yes, I have areas in my life that need to be trans-

formed, but because I renew my mind with the Word of God and

spend time in prayer, God is free to work on me and get me ready

for the big job He has designed for my life. I know that as I stay

open and willing to change, my character will be transformed into

the image of Jesus so I can complete my task successfully and to

the glory of God. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Spirit. I don’t want to waste time grieving over

John 14:16

what I missed by not living two thousands years

ago, so I ask You to teach me how to let the

Spirit lead and guide me. Your Word teaches

that because the Holy Spirit is with me, the

ministry of Jesus can continue uninterrupted in

my life today. Holy Spirit, I ask You to bring me

into a greater knowledge of how to work with

You so that the ministry of Jesus can continue

through me. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that the Holy Spirit works mightily in my life. I

know His voice, I discern His leading, and I boldly do what He tells

me to do. Because I am obedient to His voice, the life of Jesus

Christ is manifested in me. Having the Holy Spirit work with me is

just like having Jesus right by my side all the time. Just as Jesus

worked miracles in the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit works miracles

through me today—healing the sick, casting out demons, and

bringing salvation to the lost through Jesus Christ. I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

I confess that my mind is free of offense, unforgiveness, and strife.

or open door to find his way into my mind and emotions. The Spirit

of God dominates my thinking and helps me see things very

clearly. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that Jesus Christ understands and emphasizes with

me and the situations I am facing right now. Because He under-

stands, I go to Him and talk to Him, knowing that He hears me

when I pray. And not only does He listen to me, but He also answers

the prayers and the cries of my heart. I do not have to face my chal-

lenges today alone because Jesus is with me, empowering me to

stand tall, to stand firm, and to hold my head high! With Him as my

Helper, I will not only survive but will thrive and prosper in spite

of what the devil has tried to do to me. I declare this by faith in

step to take, what to say, or where to turn. I’ve

tried to give the problem to You, but in some

way I’ve continued to carry part of the load by

myself, and it is starting to break me. Right

now—at this very moment—I am throwing the

full weight of my burden and cares on Your

huge shoulders! I thank You for taking this

burden from me and for filling me with the

strength I need to press through this time in my

life. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God is committed to seeing me through the situation

I am facing right now. He is providing all the supernatural assis-

tance I need to get recharged and to keep me moving full steam

ahead. Even though I am tempted to feel isolated and alone, I am

not alone. God is filling me with power; He is surrounding me with

angels; and He is ready to provide me with anything else I need to

keep moving forward to fulfill His will for my life. I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that the Greater One lives inside me. I am a world

overcomer! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead now

lives inside me and is at my disposal 24 hours a day. When I’m

faced with a situation that requires power, I open my heart and

release the immense power of Jesus Christ that is stored up deep

inside me. This power is continuously resident in my heart and is

more than enough to face and overcome any obstacle the devil

ever tries to throw in my way. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Show Mercy in Your Relationships

Be ye therefore

also is merciful.

Lord, help me learn how to avoid misjudging

Luke 6:36

and misperceiving other people. I know that

when I misjudge someone, it affects my

opinion of that person in a way that can open a

door to the devil in our relationship with each

other. I don’t want to give the devil an inch in

any of my relationships, so I need You to help

me think cautiously, to take time to get to know

people, and to give them the benefit of the

doubt when I don’t understand something they

say or do. Help me give people the same mercy

I would expect them to give me. And help me

get started on this path today! I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that it doesn’t ruffle my feathers or upset me when I hear

that someone has a wrong perception about me. I know I’ve made

this same mistake about others in the past, so I am filled with

mercy for those who misjudge or have misconceptions about who

I am. I choose to be thankful for this situation and to see it as my

opportunity to show people who I really am. I also take this oppor-

tunity to see what needs to be changed in my life and then to make

the necessary adjustments so people never misperceive me in this

way again. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Mark 14:44,45

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I use wisdom in the way I choose my closest friends.

Because the Holy Spirit is constantly illuminating my mind with

insight, I discern who is a real friend and who isn’t. Even more, I

confess that I am a real friend and not a betrayer of the people who

are dear to me. When the devil tempts me to open my mouth and

repeat things that were told to me in confidence, I do not do it! I am

a friend who can be trusted. I will never be known as a betrayer to

the friends God has brought into my life! I declare this by faith in

Jesus’ name!

I confess that God is helping me submit to the spiritual authorities He

has placed in my life. I am having a change of heart and a true turn-

a round, and I’m learning to be faithful in my relationships with those

who are over me. God has tapped me on the shoulder and instru c t e d

me to stop rebelling against my authorities and to start acting in a godly

fashion toward them. I choose to be thankful that God has entrusted to

my spiritual authorities the responsibility of watching over my soul, for

that is profitable for me. God is working in every area of my life that

needs change, and I am able to honor, respect, and submit to those He

places in authority over me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

John 18:4-6

My Confession for To d ay

I declare that there is no force strong enough to resist God’s power

in my life. No sickness, financial turmoil, relational problems,

political force—absolutely NOTHING has enough power to resist the

supernatural power of Jesus Christ that is resident in me! When I

open my mouth and speak the Word of God, every power that

attempts to defy His Word is pushed backward and shaken till it

staggers, stumbles, and falls to the ground. When my mouth gets

into agreement with God’s Word, I see His power unleashed

against the forces that try to come against me! I declare this by

I confess that I do not hold grudges, nor do I allow deep-seated

is what I do. What Jesus says is what I say. How Jesus behaves is

how I behave. Because the Holy Spirit is working to produce the

life of Jesus Christ in me, I can be the extended hand of Jesus to

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am merciful and compassionate to people who have

messed up their lives. Their problems are my opportunities to allow

God to use me in their lives by helping them recover from their mis-

takes. God loves these people so much that He wants to send me

alongside them to assist, teach, and do whatever I can to help them get

back on their feet again. I have been so touched by God’s mercy myself

that judgment and condemnation cannot operate inside me. Rather

than lecture people about their mistakes so they feel even worse about

what they have done, I am God’s mercy extended to support them in

their time of trouble. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

wisdom, insight, power, and the answers I need to get from where

I am to where I need to be. His power works mightily through me,

and that divine power is being released right now to tackle the

challenges I face in life and bring me to a peaceful place of reso-

My Confession for To d ay

find myself in situations that seem unjust, undeserving, and unfair,

God is secretly working to turn things around for my good. He

loves me, He cares for me, and He wants to see the very best for my

life. Therefore, I entrust my job, my income, my marriage, my chil-

Your help, I can love them steadfastly no matter

what they do! I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that what other people have done to me doesn’t affect my

desire or my commitment to love them. My love for people is con-

sistent, unwavering, unshaken, and unaffected. The same Holy

Spirit who lived in Jesus now lives in me—and just as the Spirit of

God empowered Jesus to love everyone consistently, now the Holy

Spirit empowers me to do the same! I declare this by faith in Jesus’

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am self-controlled when people get angry or upset

with me. Even when others vent their anger by yelling and

s c reaming, I don’t yell and scream back at them. In these

moments, the Spirit of God rules my heart, mind, and emotions,

and I am able to remain quiet and controlled. When I find myself

in this situation, I hide myself away in prayer for a few minutes

and call out to the Lord. He helps me understand the right way

and the right time to respond. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

I confess that I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ! God

loved me so much that He sent His only begotten Son to take away

my sin, my sickness, my pain, my lack of peace, and my suff e r i n g

on the Cross. Because of Jesus, today I am forgiven; I am healed;

I am free of pain; I am filled with peace; and I am a joint heir with

Him! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that living for Jesus Christ is the most important thing in

my life. I will stand for Him, live for Him, speak up for Him, and

never back down. Regardless of the pressure that comes to push

me away from this rock-solid position, I will not move from my

wholehearted commitment to Jesus. His power strengthens me

and helps me remain strong even in the face of opposition and con-

flict. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

healing. Forgive me for the times I’ve tolerated

sickness and didn’t even pray to be healed.

Now I understand that Your desire to see me

healed is so great that You paid a price far

beyond anything I will ever be able to compre-

hend. Since my physical well-being is that

important to You, starting today I determine to

walk in divine health and healing. I am taking

a stand of faith to walk in healing and to fully

possess the health You bought for me that day

when You were so severely beaten. I pray this

in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that I am healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ. The

agony He endured was for me and my health. I don’t have to be

sick; I don’t have to be weak; and I don’t have to live at the mercy

of affliction anymore. The stripes on Jesus’ body were for me, so

today I release my faith and commit that I will not be satisfied with

anything less than God’s best—divine healing and health every day

of my life! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am a strong witness for Jesus Christ. My

eyes are opened and my spirit is attentive to recognize opportuni-

ties to speak the Gospel to people who are unsaved. When I speak

to them, they listen with an open heart and want to hear what I

have to say. Because of my bold witness, my family, friends,

acquaintances, and fellow workers are getting saved. I declare this

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. His blood

covered my sin, washed me whiter than snow, and gave me right

because I am a new creature in Christ Jesus—marvelously made

have become new because I am in Jesus Christ. That’s who I am! I

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly and thankfully confess that the blood of Jesus Christ was

shed for me! That precious blood covered my sin and washed me

clean, and today it gives me a right standing before God. Because

of the Cross, I am redeemed from sin, sickness, pain, and torment.

Satan no longer has a right to lay any claim on me! From a grate-

this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have a God-given right to come directly into the

Presence of God. Jesus removed the wall of separation—and

because of what He did, I have no reason to feel unworthy or beg-

garly when I come before the Lord. Indeed, I am washed by the

blood of Jesus, and God beckons me to come to Him with confident

expectation. Therefore, I boldly come and make my requests

known to God, and He answers me when I pray. I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly declare that Jesus Christ and His Kingdom are the highest

priorities in my life. I faithfully tithe and give special offerings to

help advance the message of Jesus Christ around the world. There

is no higher priority in my life than getting the Gospel to the ends

of the earth, so I use my finances wisely and carefully, making

certain that I am able to give my maximum gift to Jesus. Because I

give so faithfully, I am blessed! I declare this by faith in Jesus’

when I pray. I go to Him and tell Him about my needs and chal-

lenges, and He answers me! He gives me strength, power, wisdom,

and all the guidance I need to make right decisions and choices. As

a result of Jesus helping me, I am strong; I am wise; and I make

right decisions and choices in my life today. I declare this by faith

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am a witness for Jesus Christ! I open my mouth and

speak the truth in love, and people want to hear what I have to tell

them. This is the best news in the whole world—and when I tell it,

people get excited and want to give their lives to Jesus. I am not

afraid to speak up, to speak out, and to speak on behalf of my pre-

cious Savior. What He has done for me, He will do for others, for

He is not a respecter of persons. Therefore, I will boldly tell of the

grace of God and what He has done for me! I declare this by faith

I confess that the Presence of Jesus Christ is felt in every area of

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have determined to read and meditate on the Word

of God on a regular basis. The power of the Word works mightily

inside me because I take it deeply into my heart. It transforms my

thinking, renews my vision, forces darkness out of my mind, and

blows like a mighty force into every part of my life. There is

nothing stronger at my disposal than God’s Word, so I make it a pri-

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly declare that I am a winner and not a loser. I don’t throw in

the towel and quit when it gets hard; instead, I dig in my heels and

refuse to surrender the territory that God has called me to conquer

and possess. I live my life seriously and with balance and commit-

ment. Because of God’s Spirit inside me, I am tougher than any

challenge and stronger than any foe. I fight a good fight and run a

good race—and I successfully guard and hold tight to the assign-

ment God has given to my life. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am sensitive to the needs of others. God

uses me to encourage people who are around me. As I become

more Christ-like, I am less aware of me and more aware of those

who are around me. Because God’s Spirit lives inside me, all the

wonderful fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness,

goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance—reside in me and

flow through me to others. I am aware of others. I think of them; I

ask about them; I pray for them; and I treat them with the greatest

love, care, and attention. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that God’s Word is deeply rooted inside my heart

and soul. My mind is being renewed to the truth, and I am being

changed. What I used to think, I no longer think; what I used to

believe, I no longer believe. Now I base my life on the eternal

truths contained in God’s Word. I take the Word deep into my heart

and soul where it inwardly transforms me. When I open my mouth

to speak, I don’t speak empty, mindless words; instead, my words

come from a deeply held conviction and therefore release power to

set the answers I need in motion. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have the mind of Christ for every situation I face in life.

When it is necessary for me to speak correction to a member of my

team, I speak with compassion and love from my heart. I desire the

best for every person whom God has placed under my authority and

c a re. There f o re, when I deal with these individuals, I approach them

f rom a standpoint of how I can best help them gro w, help them

develop, and help them become all God has called them to be. I don’t

get angry, frustrated, or exasperated if they get upset; instead, I

remain calm, kind, and gentle as I deal with the people whom God

has entrusted to my care. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

devil’s ability to attack my emotions and will

not permit his lies and accusations to slip into

my mind. Thank You for loving me enough to

put this powerful peace in my life! I pray this in

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am guarded and protected by the powerful peace of

God that works in my life. It rises up to dominate my mind; it con-

trols my thinking; and it determines the condition of my life and

the environment where I live and work. I am unaffected by the cir-

cumstances that surround me, for this supernatural peace stands

at the gate of my mind and emotions to monitor everything that

tries to access me. Because no fretting, anxiety, panic, or worry is

allowed to enter me, I remain free, calm, and peaceful—even in

difficult situations that in the past would have upset me! I declare

and I immediately move to bring healing and restoration whenever

misunderstanding and offense has occurred between myself and

someone else. I do everything I can to bury that offense and to

I boldly declare that I am a new creature in Jesus Christ. Old things

have passed away, and all things have become new! I am not who

I used to be anymore. I don’t think like that old man; I don’t see like

that old man; I don’t talk like that old man; and I don’t behave like

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God’s indomitable, overpowering, conquering, and

irresistible power flows through me! The very power that raised

Jesus from the dead resides and operates in my life. It is an erup-

tive power; it is a demonstrated power; and it is an outwardly

visible power—the strongest kind of power known to God or man.

With this empowering Presence of the Holy Spirit working in me, I

expect the power that raised Jesus from the dead to operate in my

life. I deliberately turn up my level of expectation and anticipate

this mighty power of God to begin to flow through me. I declare

life! Just as Your mighty arm created the uni-

verse, divided the Red Sea, destroyed the

Egyptians, ripped Jesus from the throes of hell,

and raised Him from the dead, I know that now

this mighty power also works in me. Help me

learn how to flow with this power and allow it

to be released through my life so I can be a

bigger blessing to people who are around me. I

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that all that God is, all the power He possesses, and all

the energy of His muscular, mighty ability now energizes me! With this

power at my disposal, I confront every spirit that comes to wage war

against me. I lay hands on the sick and see them recover; I pray with

power and authority; I speak the word of faith to every situation I face.

Therefore, mountains move on my behalf! Greater is He who is in me

than he that is in the world. I have no need to be afraid, and I don’t

shrink back in timidity, because there’s enough power at work in me to

resist any force that comes against me and to supernaturally remedy

anything that is out of God’s order in my life. I declare this by faith in

I boldly declare that my mind is free from the devil’s lies! I think

like to plant inside me. Because of God’s Word working in me, I am

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that even if I occasionally get knocked down, I

never get knocked out! I possess the supernatural ability to keep

getting up again because I am born of God and I overcome the

world. Regardless of what weapon Satan uses or how he attempts

to combat me, my faith overrides and supersedes any event, any

employ against me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God’s Word is my guide to help me ask correctly

when I pray. I declare that I am motivated by faith and not by fear,

dread, or anxiety when I pray. Because I ask according to God’s

will, He hears me when I pray. Because He hears me, I know that

I have the petitions I ask of Him. God acts promptly to answer my

prayers because I ask with a heart filled with faith in accordance

with His will. Because I make sure that what I pray is correct and

how I pray is appropriate, I am receiving more and more results

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am firmly and deeply rooted in God’s Word. As a

result, I am fixed, steady, stable, and strong like a tree whose roots

go down deep. I am tapped into the life of Jesus Christ, and He has

become my Source of nourishment. I am held so securely in place

that I am unaffected by the storms of life and the pestilence that the

devil tries to use to attack me. I will outlast every season, every foul

climate, and every storm. I am about to enter into the finest fruit-

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am “sealed” with the Holy Spirit. My contents are

intact and in ord e r. I am approved, endorsed, recognized, aff i rm e d ,

sanctified, and notarized by the Spirit of God. Because God has

“sealed” me, it is guaranteed that I am going to make it to my final

destination. When demons see the seal of God on me, they know

they are not to mess around with me! I am a special package, to be

t reated with special care. Angels watch over me and guard my safe

passage from one place to the next. Evil forces may attempt to mess

with me, but the seal of God guarantees that I’ll arrive safely and

redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. That blood qualifies me!

With the Word as my guide and the Holy Spirit as my Teacher, I

have everything I need to do anything Jesus ever requires of me. I

planet earth. God has a plan for me! I am purposeful; I am respect-

Lord, I am sorry for any laziness that I’ve

more than I’ve done. I haven’t applied myself

with all my heart and strength; instead, I’ve

permitted myself to slip by at a mediocre level.

I have done enough to keep my job, but I

haven’t done enough to deserve a promotion or

a salary increase. Forgive me for complaining

that I don’t make enough money when the

truth is that I haven’t done my best work. I sin-

cerely ask You to help me change my attitude

and to increase my level of work performance.

I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am a good worker and that I have a great attitude! I

am exactly the kind of person God can use and bless—and I am

exactly the kind of employee my employer is thrilled to have in his

d e p a rtment, organization, or business. I work so hard and do such

good work that I bring many blessings and benefits to those who are

over me in authority. Because I am around, I make them look

better! God re w a rds me for being faithful. My striving toward excel-

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I’m not lazy or afraid to step out in faith. I am filled

with God’s wonderful ideas, and I will do what He has put in my

heart. I am not hesitant or fearful but rather bold, courageous, and

ready to go! God is my Helper; therefore, I will not be afraid. I will

not fear what man can do to me, for the Lord is with me! He directs

my mind, He guides my steps, and His Word lights my path before

Lord, please forgive me for being hardhearted,

Instead of wasting all my time judging them, I

could have been praying for them. Now I see

my mistake, and I truly repent for it. Starting

today, I pledge to change my attitude—to open

my heart and let the compassion of Jesus Christ

flow through me to help set their deliverance in

motion. Let Your compassion begin flowing

through me today! I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that compassion flows through me like a river!

Condemnation and judgment have no place in my life, in my think-

ing, or in the way I relate to other people. I am filled with the love

of God, and I allow that love to touch others who are near me. The

bowels of my heart release the compassion of Jesus Christ, touch-

ing the lives of people caught in the deception of sin and darkness

and setting them free! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that my mind is dominated by the Word of God and that I

am under the control of the Holy Spirit! I gird up the loins of my

mind by reading my Bible and filling my mind with God’s thoughts.

God’s Word strengthens me and keeps my mind free from unbelief

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I live a holy and consecrated life. There is no room

for slackness in my life. I am serious about serving God as a real

Christian soldier. I do everything that is required for me to walk

with God and to hear the voice of His Spirit when He speaks to me.

I am very serious about winning every conflict with evil forces.

Because of my strong commitment to this fight of faith, I am more

coming to recognize areas of my life that

produce bad fruit, please help me purge those

bad places from my character so I can start pro-

ducing good fruit in every part of my life.

Without You, I can never be everything I need

to be—but with Your help, I can become just

like Jesus! So today I am asking You to help me

get started purging and cleansing every part of

my life that produces less-than-pleasing fruit. I

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am a producer of good fruit! People see the charac-

ter of Jesus Christ in me, and I demonstrate His love to everyone

around me. Every day I am drawing closer to the Lord and becom-

ing more like Jesus. The fruit produced by my life is so sweet that

it causes others to draw near that they might experience the good-

ness of God as demonstrated through me. I declare this by faith in

I confess that I am fixed and focused on God’s plan for my life. I

have set my face like flint; I am unflinching and unstoppable in my

pursuit toward the goals God has set for me. I have strength of will,

determination, a strong backbone, high morale, courage, devoted-

ness, persistence, tenacity, and an unrelenting mindset. I have put

realize that this kind of smugness and pride has

my heart and help me identify those areas of

my life that need to be fixed or corrected. Once

You reveal to me what needs to be changed,

please give me the power to apply the needed

correction. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare by faith that I am sensitive to the Spirit of God. The Holy

Spirit shows me every area of my life that is weak and that needs

attention. When the Holy Spirit speaks to me, I am quick to listen

and quick to obey. I urgently act to bring correction to every weak-

ness in my character and my spiritual life where the enemy might

try to penetrate. Therefore, the devil has no access to me! I declare

their hearts, and then apply those truths to

their lives. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God has done wonderful things in my life that are a

great blessing to others. I have something to share because Jesus

has taught me so much. I am careful about what I say, and I allow

the Holy Spirit to lead me to those I can open my heart to and pour

out these treasures. God is helping me to be wiser about what I

I confess that the pearls in my life are precious and have the power

to help other people. I open my heart to share them with people

who are serious about listening and growing. Because I’m putting

so much time and energy into these people, they are going to grow

in the Lord and become something truly great! They possess lots of

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that the devil doesn’t have the right to work in my mind

and imagination. I refuse to permit him to divide me from the

people I know, love, and need. My heart is free of strife and offense,

and the door is closed to the devil so he cannot disrupt my rela-

tionships. When the devil does try to distract me with the tempta-

tion of strife, the Holy Spirit removes the blur of the disagreement

and reminds me of how much I love and need that other person. I

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I will see the fulfillment of the dream God has put in

my heart. I am a hard worker, willing to do whatever it takes, and

I have made a long-term commitment to achieve all that God

wants to do through me. It will almost certainly take unbelievable

strength and energy to move that vision from the realm of dreams

to the realm of reality, but I can do all things through Christ who

strengthens me. With God’s Spirit working in me, I will see the ful-

fillment of my dreams! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have the mind of Jesus Christ! When it is needful

for me to speak correction to someone else, I do it with love, kind-

me. I am careful about the words that come out of my mouth, and

I refuse to participate in vain arguing. I remain in control of myself

all who hear and receive them. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that revival happens everywhere I go! Every disaster the

devil sends is my opportunity to advance the Gospel. I refuse to

give in to my flesh and throw a pity party. Because I keep going and

never give in or give up, God’s power is always available to help

me in every situation. There’s too much at stake for me to let some

little thing pull me down into defeat. With God’s Spirit at work in

me, I overcome each and every obstacle that tries to block my way.

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I take the time to carefully consider other people’s

needs. I observe their ups and downs and their highs and lows. I

study to find out what helps them feel encouraged. I am constantly

o b s e rving and contemplating others to know how to encourage and

p rovoke them to love and to good works. God uses me to come

alongside those around me to help impel them to stay on track with

God and with their God-given assignments. Because I am careful to

notice other people’s needs and I reach out to assist them with

w o rds of strength, they are becoming better, stro n g e r, and bolder in

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that my mind and emotions are submitted to and renewed

by God’s Word. The devil has no access to my mind because my

thought life is dominated by God’s Word and by the power of the

Spirit. I think God’s thoughts, and I have the mind of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, no entrance is available through which the devil can

access me through my mind or emotions. I believe the truth, I

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I spend time meditating in the Word of God, and it

renews my mind to God’s way of thinking. God’s Word brings a

supernatural cleansing that washes my mind and emotions from

the contamination of the world, the memories of past experiences,

and the lies that the enemy has tried to sow into my brain. I make

it a priority to fill my mind with truth from God’s Word; therefore,

I make it very difficult for the devil to penetrate my mind with his

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I will no longer participate in the sin of gossip. If it

not repeat it. I refrain from gossip, and I stay away from those who

practice it. Gossip is a sin, and I refuse to be a part of it. My mouth

a faithful friend, and I conceal a matter when it has been made

known to me. I don’t allow myself to fall into the trap of discussing

and debating things that don’t concern me. Because the Holy Spirit

helps me, I know how to walk away from any conversation that

doesn’t glorify God. I do not listen to or participate in conversations

that cause hurts and wounds in other people’s lives. I declare this

I boldly declare that my tongue is subdued, tamed, and brought

encouraging and helpful things to other people. My words are sea-

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am led by the Spirit of God! The Holy Spirit “tugs”

and “pulls” on my heart, and I cooperate by following Him as He

gently leads me where He wants me to go. He prompts me, tugs at

my heart, and pulls on my spirit to get my attention. Because I am

sensitive to Him, the Holy Spirit leads me one step at a time to

exactly where He wants me to go with my life. He sees and knows

what I cannot see. He is leading me exactly where I need to be in

order to reach my maximum potential in life. I declare this by faith

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am God’s missionary to my city and to the people I

interact with in every area of life. Jesus expects me to take the Gospel

to the diff e rent ethnic groups, cultures, and civilizations that are in

my city and neighborhood. He expects me to invade every sphere

w h e re I have influence and to use that influence to share the Gospel

with the people who live, work, and function in those places. My

mission field is right down my street, and my assignment is to re a c h

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am the spokesman of the Lord. As His representa-

tive, I live respectfully, honorably, and in a way that brings glory to

His name. I behave professionally; I speak courteously and kindly

to others; I dress appropriately as His representative; and I preach

the Gospel with excellence by the way I live both my public and

onward, I release my faith for the miraculous to

follow me when I preach or share the Gospel

God flow and confirm the message! Let God’s

signature be all over the Gospel that I preach.

Because I am constantly releasing my faith for

the miraculous to follow me wherever I go, I

expect to see people healed, blind eyes opened,

and captives set free by the power of God! I

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that signs and wonders follow me! I am intensely hungry

to see the miraculous, and I am constantly believing for it to be in

manifestation. Since everything in the Kingdom of God is activated

by faith, I release my faith right now for supernatural signs to be

manifested in my life. I am among those who are constantly believ-

ing for the miraculous to happen. When I preach the Gospel, I

expect signs and wonders to follow that authenticate the message

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am filled with the Spirit of God and that I regularly

the day I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. From that time until now,

I have had the ability to speak in a supernatural spiritual language.

I refuse to neglect or ignore this ability God has given me; there-

Regardless of the conditions I am forced to face in order to take the

I boldly declare that I am protected from bad foods or fatal sub-

stances. When I sit down to eat, I take a few minutes to bless my

food. I call it sanctified; I speak nutrition and health into it; and

then I eat it, believing that it will only bless and strengthen my

body. Jesus has provided supernatural protection from disasters,

calamities, snakes, scorpions, and all the works of the enemy. He

promised me traveling mercies and protection from acts of injus-

tice. God isn’t going to send me somewhere so I can die! I rebuke

Lord, I ask You for confidence to lay my hands

on the sick. I want Your healing power to flow

t h rough me and to be deposited into sick

bodies, attacking the enemy’s work until finally

those sick people are restored to health again.

In Your Word, it is stated that when believers

lay hands on the sick, the sick would be made

well again. Today I am making the decision to

pull my hands out of my pockets and to place

them on the sick so Your healing power can be

delivered to others through me. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God’s power is released into the bodies of the

afflicted when I lay my hands on them. Just as medicine slowly

works to reverse a medical condition, the power of God that is

deposited when I lay my hands on sick people begins to attack their

affliction, causing them to be progressively restored to health and

well-being. Healing the sick is part of my responsibility, so I boldly

confess that I am going to lay my hands on sick people just as Jesus

did when He was ministering on the earth—and I expect to see

them get well! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

goal of walking in the Spirit. I am developing my own human spirit,

and I am becoming more sensitive to the Spirit of God. Every day

the voice of my flesh is getting weaker and weaker. I have accepted

the call of God to leave the low life behind, and I am following the

Spirit of God to a higher realm, where I will live in continual peace,

joy, and victory! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I think clean thoughts and that I don’t allow the devil

to mess with my mind. My mind belongs to Jesus. It is filled with

the Word of God. That Word renews my mind to think God’s

thoughts; therefore, Satan has no entrance into my mind or emo-

tions to deceive me with thoughts of sin. I crucify my flesh, and I

bring my body under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I am no longer

I boldly declare that I am no longer dominated by the flesh;

instead, I walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. There is therefore

no condemnation for me! I am careful to read my Bible and to hear

the truths that the Holy Spirit wants to show me. When I become

The First Fruit Is Love

But the fruit of

the Spirit

is love….

My Prayer for To d ay

Galatians 5:22

Lord, help me turn my attention to Your kind of

high-level love and make it a part of my daily

life. Forgive me for those times when I’ve fallen

into low-level, “you scratch-my-back-and-I’ll-

scratch-yours” love that gets easily offended.

Help me climb up to the higher realms of love

that You desire to be manifested in my life. Holy

Spirit, it is impossible to continually walk in

this kind of love in the power of my flesh, so I

turn to You to awaken this divine love inside

me and to help me manifest it in my life. I pray

this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am hotly pursuing agape love in my life. I want to

attain this high level of love and regularly walk in it, so I treat this

fruit of the Spirit like it is one of the most important aims of my life.

Because the seed of God’s Spirit and Word is sown in my own

human spirit, I have the potential for this divine love within me all

the time. So right now I determine to shove the flesh aside and

release the power of God from down deep inside. Because agape is

the driving motivation of my life and the force behind all my rela-

tionships, I am the best, most devoted, faithful, and reliable friend

anyone has ever known! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

I deliberately choose to let the Holy Spirit flood

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am dominated by the fruits of joy and peace. Fear

and anxiety have no place in my life; neither am I ruled by the tem-

porary, fleeting emotions of happiness. Joy strengthens me and sta-

bilizes me in every situation. Peace rules my emotions, helping me

to maintain stability and eradicate emotional chaos from my life

and surroundings. I am inhabited by the Spirit of God Himself—

So today I give You praise, and I thank You for

continuing to strengthen me until I bring this

assignment to a victorious end. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God is filling me with supernatural endurance to stay

put until I have successfully done everything He has asked me to

do. He gave me this assignment because He believed I could do it.

He filled me with endurance to help me stay put and to be strong

enough to finish it as I ought. I therefore declare that I am strong;

I am filled with fortitude; and I will do precisely what God has

asked me to do! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

The Helmet of Salvation

And take the

helmet of

b

salvation….

My Prayer for To d ay

Ephesians 6:17

Lord, I am so grateful for my salvation! It is the

most wonderful gift You have ever given me. It

changed my life and set me free; it brought

healing to my body and deliverance to my

mind. I want to wrap the knowledge of all that

my salvation includes around my mind so

tightly that the devil can never steal these ben-

efits from my life. Holy Spirit, I ask You to help

me study and to understand everything Jesus

purchased for me at the Cross. Reveal it to me;

convince me of its truth; and help me to wear

that revelation knowledge on my head like a

mighty, fortified, spiritual helmet! I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I wear my salvation tightly around my mind like a

helmet. When the enemy tries to attack my mind and to chop away

at the benefits of my salvation, his attacks are completely ineffec-

tive! My mind is convinced of all that salvation means for me, and

my mind is trained and taught to think correctly according to that

knowledge. Therefore, the knowledge of my salvation becomes a

helmet in my life. It doesn’t matter how hard the devil tries to hack

away at my mind, I still stand strong because I know what Jesus’

death and resurrection purchased for me. I declare this by faith in

Jesus’ name!

gives me the right words to say when I pray. Because I have the

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I love missionaries and support them with my prayers

and finances. I appreciate them for leaving their homes, their fam-

ilies, and their natural surroundings, and for uprooting their wives

and children and moving to the other side of the world to take the

Good News to those who do not have it. I will be faithful to re m e m-

my substance. The role I play to support them in prayer and with

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am following the voice of my Commander-in-Chief.

I will go where Jesus says to go, and I will do exactly what He tells

me to do. I am committed to get in the fight and stay in it until the

victory is won! I have an attitude that never gives in, never gives

up, and never surrenders to defeat. God has given me spiritual

power, spiritual weapons, and the promises of His Word on which

I can stand. He has equipped me with everything I need to win—

and now the victory depends on me! I declare this by faith in Jesus’

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that regardless of how heavy the load or how long it takes,

I am going to refuse to move from my faith position until I achieve

the victory Jesus promises to me. I will remain steadfast in my

commitment, and nothing can sway or move me to change my

mind. I refuse to relinquish any of my God-promised territory! My

faith is tough, resistant, persistent, obstinate, and stubborn. My

spirit is so tenacious that it refuses to let go! It isn’t a question of IF

to get my heart ready for the next upward step

that Jesus has waiting for me. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that my character, attitude, and actions are being refined by

the fire of God in my life. The Holy Spirit is helping me discover any

serious character flaws that would negatively affect my future. God

is changing me, teaching me, and preparing me for greater re s p o n-

s i b i l i t y. I am serious about my walk with God and about being gre a t l y

used by Him in this life. There f o re, I want Him to identify every part

of my life that is out of order or that needs to be fixed. So today I yield

to the Holy Spirit so He can delve deep into my soul and extract those

traits that would keep me from the blessings and positions God

would love to give me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Lord, thank You for giving me the sword of the

the devil attempts to attack me, please help me

be sensitive to hear the exact rhema that the

Holy Spirit desires to drop into my heart with

which I can then deal the enemy a fatal blow.

Starting right now, I open my heart and soul to

listen so I can hear any scripture or word the

Holy Spirit wishes to give me to use against the

works of the devil in my life. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of

God, and that this spiritual weapon is working in my life. I have the

exact word I need for every situation—a specific, quickened word

from the Scriptures, placed in my heart by the Holy Spirit. Because

this rhema from God is in my heart, I have real sword power to use

against the enemy. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

for that divine signal to act, to heal, to deliver, or to cleanse

someone who was sick, I am also sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s voice

and wait for Him to speak to my heart. When He speaks, I hear;

then I do exactly what He instructs me to do. Because I follow His

voice, I make few mistakes and I see great results! I declare this by

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have taken my place in God’s plan. I have grabbed

hold of an oar, and I am rowing and rowing with all my strength

and energy. The assignment God has given me probably won’t be

achieved quickly, so I have mentally prepared myself for a long-

term stint at doing what God is calling me to do. It will take unbe-

lievable strength and energy to move that vision from the realm of

dreams to the realm of reality. But because of the power of the Holy

Spirit in me, I have all the strength I need for this wonderful and

awesome task. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am free from Satan’s grip on my life because Jesus

stripped him bare and left nothing in his hands that he could use

against me. Jesus defeated and disarmed Satan; then He gave me

authority over the devil and all his works. Greater is He who is in

me than he who is in the world. That means in Jesus Christ I am

fully empowered to enforce Satan’s defeat! I declare this by faith in

nature and made me a brand-new creature! Nothing from the old

me continues to exist, for I am completely brand new. When God

made me, He put forth His finest creative powers, and I now live

on this earth as a masterpiece of His grace. God has made me into

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that I will not stop or give up until I have appre-

the devil’s attacks and successfully achieve all God has called me

to do, for I have determined that I will never stop until I have fin-

ished the task. I have the stamina, spunk, and doggedness it takes

to get the job done. I have made the decision to stay in faith and

My Prayer for To d ay

Ephesians 4:27

Lord, I ask You to help me keep the doors to my

heart and soul closed to the devil! I know he

would like to slip into my relationships and

ruin them, so I am asking You to help me stay

free of offense, free of unforgiveness, and free

of bitterness. I realize these wrong attitudes

create “entry points” through which the devil

tries to gain territory in my relationships. I

don’t want to give the devil a foothold in my

affairs through a wrong attitude. So I’m asking

You, Lord, to help me identify every wrong

feeling or attitude in my life that the devil could

use to ruin relationships with people I need and

love. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I walk in forgiveness! Offense, bitterness, strife, and

unforgiveness have no place in my life. The Spirit of God dwells in

me, and He always convicts me of wrong attitudes that the devil

could potentially use to bind me. I love Jesus, and I want to please

Him; therefore, I refuse to allow these destructive attitudes to

remain in me. I am full of mercy, longsuffering, and slow to anger.

All of these qualities keep me safe and secure from the devil’s

attempts to invade me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Romans 12:3

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I think soberly about myself and about my gifts and

abilities. I thank God for the gifts and talents God has placed in my

life, but I also recognize and respect my limitations. Just as I appre-

ciate my own gifts and abilities, I am also grateful for those who

are more gifted than I am in other areas. I need them, I embrace

them, and I appreciate what they have to contribute. I can’t achieve

alone what can be accomplished in partnership with others.

Therefore, I choose to partner my gifts and talents with the God-

given gifts and talents in other people. I declare this by faith in

I confess that I am growing more and more faithful in the giving of

Gospel are the greatest priorities in my life. Therefore, when I get

paid, the first thing I do is set aside my tithe for the church and my

offering for world missions and other worthy ministries. As I learn

to love Jesus even more, my financial gifts are increasing as well.

God at work and at church, I demonstrate the excellence of Jesus’

name. When people see me, they see the Kingdom of God. In fact,

God is happy that I am His representative because my life shows

forth an excellent image of who Jesus is and what He stands for in

this world. I am His representative, and therefore I do everything

with the highest level of excellence. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

escape as quickly as I can when I know the devil is attempting to

You to help me make the needed changes. I

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that with God’s help, I am putting my house in order. The

way I handle my family life, my children, my physical home, and

my finances brings glory to Jesus Christ. I am serious about my

walk with God, and I therefore invite Him to invade every sphere

of my life and to bring it under His Lordship. Jesus is Lord of my

marriage, my children, my home, and my money. It all belongs to

Him; therefore, I want to be a wise steward for His sake—and I will!

I confess that God’s Wo rd dominates my mind, my will, and my

emotions! Because I have put God’s Wo rd into my heart, I am not

shaken or easily moved by the things that occur in the world

a round me. I know who I am; I am secure in my Father’s love; and

I recognize that He destined me to live in these last days because

He has a special plan for me. Regardless of what I see or hear, I

take my stand on the promises of God’s Wo rd, and it provides me

with safety and security. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that I am focused, concentrated, and determined to

run my race! God has called me and anointed me; therefore, I can

do exactly what He has asked me to do. I have no excuse for failure

or any reason to slow down or quit, for God’s Spirit in me is ready

to empower me to run this race all the way to the finish. Doing it

halfway will never do, so I am committed to seeing this all the way

faith I put it on to protect my mind against the

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I bring every thought into the captivity of Christ.

When the devil tries to invade my mind with lies, I capture those

lies and drive them clear out of my brain! Rather than fall victim to

the devil’s attacks, I seize every thought that he tries to use to pen-

etrate my mind and emotions. I grab each lie and force it into sub-

mission! Because I stand firm on the Word, the enemy’s lies are not

able to exert any power against me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

name!

I confess that I am free from the world. I do not walk in compro-

Lord. As a result of my firm determination to walk with God, I have

power over sin, power over Satan, and power when I pray. God’s

Word promises that if I draw near to Him, He will draw near to me.

I am drawing nearer and nearer to God every day, so I am confi-

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have a job to do and that I’m going to do it! I will

not jeopardize my destiny by succumbing to the discouraging

voice of the enemy. If the boat is going to move, I must do my part

to move it. Whether or not I ever hear the words “thank you” fro m

anyone, I am the servant of God and I will do my service as unto

Him. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I deal diligently with my heart to keep my heart in

good shape. I don’t make excuses for rotten attitudes that try to fill

my thoughts about people who have wronged me. Even if they

really did commit a wrong, I refuse to let the devil use it to eat me

up and ruin me. I am the bishop of my own heart, so I refuse to let

wrong attitudes fester, take root, and begin to produce bad fruit in

me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I bear good fruit in the lives of people whom God has

called me to help. They are growing! They are prospering! They

are learning to overcome the evil one! They are strong, stable,

resilient, reliable, faithful, and committed to do whatever it takes

for them to fulfill the assignment Jesus Christ has given them. My

fruit is good fruit—fruit that remains! In this I know that my Father

is glorified, because I am producing the kind of fruit that brings

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that by God’s grace, I am making my present situation

more and more glorious! I have asked the Holy Spirit to open my

eyes and to help me see those parts of my life that need to be trans-

formed. As He shows me these areas, I will diligently pray about

them and do everything I can to allow God to change me so this

present season of my life can become glorious. Because the Holy

Spirit sees my willingness to go through the necessary transforma-

tion process, He is preparing to move me upward into a more glo-

own when You have already sent me the Holy

Spirit to be my Guide. Holy Spirit, please step

into my life and take Your place as my Teacher,

my Leader, and my Guide. I extend my heart

and my hand to You today so You can begin to

guide me through life. I thank You, Father, for

providing the most wonderful Guide in the

whole universe to help me make it successfully

through life! I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am led by the Spirit of God. Because I cooperate

with Him, I don’t waste valuable time, energy, or money, and I

don’t shed a lot of unnecessary tears. I gladly let the Holy Spirit

lead me, since He sees what I can’t see; knows what I don’t know;

and understands the best routes, the most efficient shortcuts, and

the safest paths to take. As a result, He leads me past every attack;

He helps me avoid each strategy of the devil; and He safely guides

me to the place where God wants me to be. I declare this by faith

in Jesus’ name!

personality, but now I understand that You view

this as dishonesty. I ask You to help me stop

making excuses for this behavior and to accept

responsibility for the words and messages I

project to others. When I stand before You, I

want a clear conscience that I have been

honest, forthright, and balanced in the things

I’ve said about myself or about others. Holy

Spirit, I need Your help to bring correction to

this part of my life, so today I yield myself to

You. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I speak the truth and that I don’t exaggerate the facts

or speak lies. When people talk to me, they can count on the fact

that I don’t embellish the truth or twist the facts to my advantage.

They can rest assured that I’m honest about myself and the situa-

tions in which I find myself. I keep my nose out of other people’s

business and concern myself instead with those issues that have to

do with me and my areas of responsibility. Because God is my

Helper and His grace is working mightily in me, I am becoming

more and more honest every day. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

name!

My Confession for To d ay

I declare that I have confessed all my past sins and mistakes.

Therefore, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am free in the sight of

the Lord. He does not hold my past against me. He is my Redeemer,

my Restorer, my Deliverer, and my Salvation. His Spirit is operat-

ing in me right now to get me out of every mess I have created,

both intentionally or unintentionally. My heart is repentant, and

my desire is to do what is right. Therefore, God is helping me walk

out of the problems that have tried to grip my mind and my life. I

Spirit, help me uproot those wrong feelings

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that my heart is free of bitterness, resentment, strife, and

unforgiveness. God’s Spirit lives in me, and He doesn’t allow me to

keep living with wrong attitudes in my life. He speaks to me when I

begin to think poorly of others; He convicts me of every wrong atti-

tude; and He helps me bring my thoughts under His control. Because

my mind and emotions are controlled by the Spirit of God, I think

only positive thoughts about those who are near or around me. If any

negative thoughts about someone else try to enter my mind, the Holy

Spirit quickly helps me recognize them and bring correction to the

way I am thinking. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God’s Word has a central place in my life. I regularly

read God’s Word and meditate on its truths; therefore, my mind is

being renewed with the Word day by day. As a result, that Word

decks me out—equipping, outfitting, and furnishing me with all

the spiritual gear I need to take the adventurous trip God has

planned for my life. With God’s Word fitted tightly in place, I am

ready to set sail and follow wherever the Holy Spirit leads. I declare

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that my faith is saturated with the Word of God. The devil

may try to attack me, but my faith is held out high in front of me,

covering my life completely and extinguishing every flaming

arrow the devil attempts to shoot in my direction. My faith is super-

naturally energized, and I am empowered to stand against every

assault the devil tries to make on my life. I declare this by faith in

I confess that I have the mind of Jesus Christ. His mind makes me

sensible, intelligent, prudent, discerning, and accurate in the way

I think and behave. Because the Holy Spirit is producing the mind

of Christ in my life, I make very few mistakes. In fact, I am getting

better and better all the time at seeing things accurately and

knowing what to do in diff e rent situations. I am careful to lay low

when the Spirit says to wait, and I am bold to obey when the Spirit

says to act. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am loving, patient, and kind, and I do not quickly

enables me, I will speak the truth to them in the spirit of Jesus

Christ. I believe that in their hearts, they want to change.

Therefore, I overlook their weaknesses and am patient with them

as God works on transforming them day by day. I declare this by

need to be more focused on the needs of others

than I am on myself. I realize that the only way

I can become this selfless is to yield to the Holy

Spirit so He can do a deep work in my life. Holy

Spirit, I am asking You today to do whatever is

necessary to teach me how to regularly walk in

this high-level, agape love of God. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I walk in the agape love of God. I am patient with

other people. I am also very slow to anger or to get upset. I am so

concerned about the welfare of others that one of my chief priori-

ties in life is to become everything I need to be to meet their needs.

Other people see me as a friend who wants to help them succeed.

Although God has given me my own dreams and desires, I never

neglect to help others achieve their dreams and aspirations as

well. Because high-level love works in me, I am becoming more

and more like Jesus Christ. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

I confess that I am never going to stop until I have attained the high

talking about myself all the time, constantly exaggerating and

embellishing the facts. I don’t behave in a prideful, arrogant,

haughty, superior, snooty, snobbish, or clannish manner. I’m not

rude and discourteous. I’m not careless or thoughtless. As I spend

time with Jesus, I am being changed into His image—and I demon-

words that cause an ugly or violent response. I have been forgiven

much; therefore, I quickly forgive others, never keeping a record

of others’ wrongs, sins, or mistakes. God is doing a mighty work in

me, and every day I am becoming more and more free! I declare

walk in agape love, I protect, shield, guard, cover, conceal, and

safeguard people from exposure. The love of God in my heart

compels me to strain forward with all my might to believe the very

best in every situation and the best about every person. This love

of God that has been shed abroad in my heart never quits, never

surrenders, and never gives up on other people. I bear all things,

believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things! I declare

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I have a lot of living left to do before I die and go to

only getting started in fulfilling what He has asked me to do. Death

is not an option right now. Life is my only choice. I am needed and

wanted, and God is not calling me home yet. Therefore, I will live

a long and prosperous life—and I will run my race with all my

might so I can finish my race with joy and victory. I declare this by

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am not two-faced or double-tongued. When I speak,

people know that my word is as good as gold. I do not change my

opinion based on the person I am with or what others think of me.

What I say I mean, and I am faithful to keep my word. Every day I

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am grateful for and constantly aware of God’s good-

ness in my life. I have every reason to trust Him, for He has proven

Himself to me again and again and I know He will never let me

down. He has shown His goodness and mercy to me, and I am a

recipient of His grace. I choose to lift up my hands, open my mouth,

and declare the goodness of the Lord. The Bible says, “Let the

redeemed of the Lord say so,” so I am saying so right now! Jesus,

You are good, and Your mercy endures forever! Thank You for

showering me with Your mercy and Your might. I declare this by

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I live “in” faith. Although Satan tries to use situations

to distract me and dissuade me from staying in faith, I have

resolved that I am never moving from the place where God has

called me to be. I will never relinquish the dream He has put in

my heart. I will stay in this place; I will use my faith; I will be

steadfast, unwavering, and committed to seeing His pro m i s e s

come to pass in my life. Because I have made this decision, I am a

person who pleases God! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Truth, so please enable me to both see and to

hear the truth about myself, because I want to

stay free. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am free from the deception of the devil. My mind is

renewed to the truth of God’s Word. My mind thinks straight and

clearly, and I am sound and balanced in my perspective of the sit-

uations I face in life. I am teachable when my friends tell me the

truth, helping me see when I am getting too upset about things that

aren’t so important. Therefore, I’m able to walk free of the devil’s

snare and stay balanced in my emotions because of the Word that

works mightily in me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am free from worry, fretfulness, and anxiety. These

forces have no place in me. I have surrendered every care and

concern to Jesus, and He has taken them from me. As a result, I am

free of every burden, every weight, and every problem. Jesus is my

great High Priest, and He is interceding for me right now. With God

on my side, I can enjoy life as He intended for me to enjoy it. I

has no place in me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am not ruled by worry, fear, or concerns. I go to God

with those things that are on my heart, and I clearly articulate what

I feel, what I need, and what I expect heaven to do on my behalf.

Because of the promises in God’s Word, I know exactly how to

boldly make my requests. I always match my requests with thanks-

giving, letting God know how grateful I am for everything He does

in my life. heaven is on my side; therefore, I know I will survive

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I speak well of myself. I don’t batter myself with

w rong or negative words. I agree with all that God’s Wo rd

d e c l a res me to be, and I speak these truths about myself. Every

day I am getting more positive and more faith-filled, and my

mouth is speaking what God says about me. As a result, I am

stranglehold that has been on my financial situa-

my finances! I am a giver and there f o re a re c e i v e r

of God’s promised blessings. You have no right to

thank You for honoring Your Wo rd and causing

my situation to turn around. I thank You in

advance for the abundance that is going to start

flowing into my life. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am an overcomer! Difficult circumstances do not

control my life or my obedience. Instead of surrendering to the

attacks that are assailing my finances, I am going to throw a knock-

out punch at the face of the devil! At this critical moment, I am

going to sow an extra financial seed that will break the devil’s

stranglehold on my life. Once I obey what the Holy Spirit is telling

me to do, I will boldly command the devil to take his foul hands off

my finances! It won’t be long before the seed I sow is multiplied

back into my life. Then I’ll stand in the manifestation of God’s

blessings. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

times I’ve been loved, forgiven, and accepted in

spite of my behavior. Holy Spirit, help me now

to be an extension of this same mercy and

grace to others who need it from me. I pray this

in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I walk in mercy and grace. I don’t rush to judgment

when others do things that are less than what I expected of them.

I realize that everyone makes mistakes and that no one who truly

loves Jesus would intentionally do the offensive and hurtful things

I’ve seen some people do. These people don’t realize how they are

being perceived. I know they’re making these mistakes because

they need to grow and mature. So rather than judge others for what

they have said, done, or failed to do, I will walk in mercy, grace,

and forgiveness toward them just as I would want others to do for

me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

I confess that I am very respectful of other people and that I re c-

ognize the gifts, talents, and ideas God has given them. I need the

insights and gifts that God has put in other people. Because they

a re just as important as I am, I always give them time to expre s s

do not fear that friends will laugh at me or repeat what I tell them.

They will stand with me, speak the truth to me, and help me step

before me, ready to help. God is on my side. He wants to help me.

He is waiting for me to come into His Presence so He can give me

the wisdom I need to confront and overcome every situation I am

facing right now. God wants me to succeed, and His wisdom is

what I need to achieve what is in my heart. So rather than try to

Please forgive me for rushing in and out of your

not taking enough time to fellowship with Yo u

lected spending time with You. Starting today, I

want to change my daily schedule so I can spend

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that spending time with God is the highest priority in my

life. This time with Him is not an option in my life. He wants to give

me all the wisdom and answers I need, but first I must meet His

requirement to come close to Him. When I get right next to God,

He is obliged to open His hand and show me everything I need to

see. I live continually in His Presence; therefore, no form of dark-

complaining wife but as a friend to confide in and to look to for

ence. I trust God to speak to him, and I trust God to deal with my

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I live a powerful, godly, and chaste life before my

husband and am therefore a constant encouragement to him. He

seeks my advice; he wants my help; and he desires to know what I

believe is right regarding decisions that affect our family and rela-

tionship. God’s Spirit is changing me and making me to be the kind

of wife He wants me to be. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My husband and my children can depend on me to be a tower of

Because I am so stable, I help bring stability to my husband, to my

Please help me, Lord, to become all I need to be

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that I am a loving, caring, attentive husband. As

God’s Spirit works in me and transforms me more and more into

the image of Jesus Christ, I am becoming a better husband to my

wife. Because I love her deeply and regularly show my love to her,

she feels secure and confident in our relationship. As a result, she

is willing to follow me wherever God leads and is supportive of my

decisions. Investing in my life partner is the best investment I can

make in my own life. Therefore, I choose this day to invest love and

attentive care into my wife—the most important person in my life!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God is good! He has been faithful to me. He has never

failed me. He will never fail me in the future. Even when bad

things tried to come against me, God saved me, delivered me, and

brought me out with no permanent harm. It is a miracle I survived

everything that happened to me in the past. But from this moment

on, I choose to turn my memories around and to reflect only on

how good God has been to me through all of life’s events. I will

trust in Him to show me how to get around every impasse so I can

finish the job He’s given me to do. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

name!

every area of danger and move forward safely toward my goal. The

Holy Spirit sees everything; He knows everything; and He has my

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I will take the Gospel anywhere God tells me to take

it. That means I am willing to go to every country, every city, and

every village in the world. Nothing—no force, no group, no reli-

gion, and no godless, pagan influence—can stop me from going

where God has called me. No danger is so terrifying that I can’t

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am strong in the Lord. I am strong enough to do

anything God will ever tell me to do. The Word of God abides in

me, and the power of the Spirit works through me. Therefore, I am

well able to overcome the strategies of the enemy. The future is

mine because I have the promises of God’s Word and the power of

My Prayer for To d ay

Acts 1:11

L o rd, help me to have the attitude of a team

p l a y e r. I want to be of benefit to my org a n i z a-

tion or place of employment and my church. I

ask You to help me recognize opport u n i t i e s

w h e re I can serve; then help me serve in these

positions with all my heart. Help me to have the

initiative to pitch in and become a helper to the

rest of the team rather than to sit on the side-

lines and watch everyone else work. I never

want to think I’m so high and mighty that I can’t

do a menial, mundane task. Holy Spirit, help me

to have the attitude of Jesus and to be willing to

stoop low and do whatever is necessary in ord e r

to get the job done. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly confess that I am willing to do whatever is re q u i red to finish the

task that has been assigned to me. If there is no one else to do a job, no

matter how menial, I am willing to do it—and I’ll do it with a happy

h e a rt. I don’t think of myself as so high and mighty that I can’t do a

mundane, boring, time-consuming, or undesirable job along the way. I

am valuable to my organization and church because I demonstrate a

willingness to do whatever is needed. Since what I sow is what I will

reap, I am going to give of myself and become a team player—and as a

result, a day will come when I reap other team players to help me fulfill

my own dream or vision. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

thoughts captive and command them to leave. I am the temple of

the Holy Spirit, and these thoughts and ideas have no place inside

me. I have invested too much of myself into the work of God to

allow such low-level thoughts to pull me down and take me out.

walk with God. Those who could negatively influence me are not

the people I choose to be my closest friends. Nothing in the world

is more important than my walk with God. Since those who are

close to me have a tremendous influence on my life, I choose

friends who, like me, make their walk with God their greatest pri-

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God is setting a great and effectual door before me. I

have prayed and waited for this day to come, and now is the time

when God is opening that door to me. I don’t take this unique time

lightly. Rather, I am grateful to God for counting me faithful to

receive such a rare and special opportunity. Because God’s Spirit

works in me, I am able to recognize those whom God has sent to

help and those whom Satan has sent to hinder. I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

to serve You for the rest of my life. Starting

speak, I will do exactly what You tell me to do.

I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am surrendered to the purposes of God. I daily con-

secrate myself to God—to what He wants—and to live a life that is

pleasing to Him. My flesh may try to wage war against this conse-

cration, but I take authority over my flesh and I tell it what to do.

My body does not control me. Instead, I control it, using it as my

instrument to do whatever God asks me to do. Every day when I

awake, I renew my consecration and personal commitment to

serve God with all my heart. I am His completely, and I will obey

whatever His Spirit prompts me to do. I declare this by faith in

nothing that can happen in this world or in my life to disconnect

me from His awesome, powerful, wonder-working, life-transform-

ing love. I walk through each day in peace because I know that the

Lord loves me. I have been persuaded, and I remained absolutely

convinced, that nothing can separate me from the love of God,

which is in Jesus Christ, my Lord! I declare this by faith in Jesus’

My Prayer for To d ay

1 Timothy 4:7

Lord, I ask You to help me change the way I’ve

been looking at the hardships and challenges

in my life. Yes, it’s true that I don’t enjoy them,

but since I’m in this time of my life, help me

use my time to the maximum by strengthening

my faith and exercising myself spiritually.

Rather than be broken by this difficult season, I

want to come out of it stronger than ever. Holy

Spirit, please help me today to change the way

I am looking at life. I want to make a firm com-

mitment to exercise myself unto godliness until

I am so strong spiritually that nothing in life

can stop me from fulfilling the dreams God has

put in my heart. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am getting stronger and stronger in the Lord. I have

made the choice to use everything that comes into my life as an

opportunity to exercise my faith and develop myself spiritually.

This is not a one-shot reaction, for I am making this my lifetime

passion and devotion. I will exercise, train, and do everything I can

to become stronger and stronger in the Lord. I declare this by faith

in Jesus’ name!

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that the seed I sow into people’s hearts has the power to

bring great change to entire groups of people. Every time I share

the Word of God with people who don’t know the Lord, a seed is

planted in their hearts and minds that has the power to revolu-

tionize their lives, their families, their friends, and even their

entire cities. Every person I touch has the potential of taking the

Gospel message further, thus creating a larger harvest for the

Kingdom of God. Therefore, I am bold to speak to anyone when-

ever I see an open door of opportunity to tell the Good News of

Jesus Christ. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Word promises financial blessings to His children. Since I am God’s

child, I have a right to be financially blessed. From the financial

resources that God entrusts to me, I purpose to be a major giver

and a source of great blessing to the work of the ministry. Souls are

waiting to hear the Gospel message, and I am going to use the

resources God gives me to make sure the life-changing message of

Jesus Christ reaches as many people as possible! I declare this by

promise of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. I refuse to

let fear rule me, and I choose to believe that I can do all things

through Christ who strengthens me. With God’s power working in

own, and my relationships are much more important than the

material things I possess! I will not let my prosperity go to my head

and make me think that I am better than others. God has blessed

me so I can be a blessing. Therefore, I see myself as the servant of

God, called to manage and distribute the funds at my disposal as

He desires. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

so I will do everything I can to speak to them, to reach them, and

to make sure they have an opportunity to hear the Good News of

Jesus Christ. If they refuse to listen or to receive, I will be freed

from my responsibility. My part is just to make sure they had a

chance to hear and to believe. The Holy Spirit is empowering me

to testify, so starting today, I will follow His leading and speak to

so. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

they need to hear what I have to tell them. When I speak, God’s

has given me, I am a wise investor in my eternal destiny. I spend

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I will no longer permit the devil to have a foothold in my

mind and emotions. I am employing the use of the power of God, the

weapons of the Holy Spirit, and the name of Jesus Christ, and I

command the devil to withdraw his lies from my mind and emotions

and to flee from me! The enemy has no right to operate inside my mind,

and I refuse to allow his operation in my soul to continue. I will believe

right, think right, and renew my mind daily with the Wo rd of God. I am

now permanently set free from lies that have controlled me for such a

long time. From this moment forw a rd, I am dominated by the truth of

G o d ’s Wo rd. Lies that have held me captive for so long have no more

Please teach me to use it powerf u l l y, forc e f u l l y,

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that prayer is a vital piece of my spiritual weaponry. Because I

use this strategic piece of weaponry, I am able to stop the enemy fro m

attacking me from up close. I pray with authority, and that authority

gives me the ability to strike the enemy from a distance while maintain-

ing a victorious position in my life. With the lance of prayer at my di s-

posal, I am sure of absolute and total victory. Although the devil tries to

attack me, I overcome each of his attacks by striking him from a di s-

tance as I thrust the lance of prayer and supplication into the realm of

the spirit. I commit myself to using the lance of prayer and supplication

in all its various forms. As I do, I continually re i n f o rce Jesus Christ’s tri-

umphant victory over Satan and demonstrate Satan’s miserable defeat

in every area of my life! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

to bring correction into my life in the past.

Although that correction was difficult to

receive, I needed it and it ultimately benefited

my life. For this, I am so thankful. Second, I ask

You to help me now to be a blessing to those Yo u

have placed under my sphere of authority.

When I see attitudes in them that need to be

c o rrected, help me know how to approach them

in a way that is positive and uplifting. I ask Yo u

to give me the wisdom I need to challenge those

under my authority to a higher level in every

a rea of their lives. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that those under my authority listen to me and submit to

my spiritual authority; therefore, I am able to help them grow and

mature in the Lord. I accept the fact that bringing correction to

people under my sphere of authority is part of my responsibility. As

I pray and seek the mind of the Lord, the Holy Spirit shows me how

to correct people in love. He teaches me how to help them see what

they need to change in their lives and attitudes so they can move

up higher in God. I willingly make it my goal to bring the people

under my care to a higher level in every area of their lives. I

declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

I confess that Jesus loves me and understands me. Even though

friends may desert me or fail to understand the dilemma I am

facing in my life, Jesus completely comprehends the entire situa-

tion. Not only does He understand, but He is also my biggest Helper

in my time of need. When I cry out to Jesus in faith, He responds

by manifesting His strong Presence at my side. His Presence is with

me to assist me, support me, and give me the strength I need to

reaching out right now to pick it up, to hold it out

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God has given me a shield of faith that protects me

today I commit myself to doing just that—God’s Wo rd guarantees

that this mighty shield will thwart the fiery darts that the enemy

wants so desperately to throw at me. My shield will cause those dart s

with my shield of faith out in front so that it covers me as God

intended for it to do. As long as I do that, I can be confident that I will

move forw a rd in life without the enemy winning any full-scale

Seeking Real Help From God

My Prayer for To d ay

James 5:13

L o rd, today I am asking You to forgive me for the

times I’ve talked to people about my pro b l e m s

m o re than I’ve talked to You. I confess that I have

leaned on people more heavily than I have leaned

on You when facing difficult situations that

re q u i red solutions. Now that I realize what I have

done, I am making the decision to change the way

I respond to challenges. I thank You, Lord, for the

friends You have given me whom I can trust and

confide in, but I know I will only find my real help

and most permanent solutions as a result of being

in Your Presence. There f o re, today I purpose to

run to You first whenever the problems of life try

to assault me. Only after I have received comfort

and direction from You, my primary Source of help,

will I consider turning to others whom You have

given me for support. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I run to the Lord whenever problems try to over-

whelm me. He is my High Tower, my Strength, my Hiding Place,

and the One in whom I trust. He has never failed me or forsaken

me, and I know I can trust in Him. I thank God for the friends He

has given me, but they can never take the place that only He has in

my life. From this moment forward, I make the decision that before

I pour out my heart to people, I will first pour out my heart to Him.

I am willing to do whatever He asks and to give up anything He

requires so that I may obtain the victory I need in my life. I declare

this by faith in Jesus’ name!

James 5:13

Lord, I needed this encouragement today, and I

thank You for speaking to me through Your

Word. I do have something to shout about, so I

make the decision today to go ahead and let out

the joy that is in my heart! I thank You for being

a part of my rejoicing and for the great and

awesome things You are doing in my life. I pray

this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I don’t need other people with me in order to tru l y

rejoice in the Lord. When I feel the strings of my heart being

plucked with joy, I am going to open my mouth and sing it out.

When I feel so full of joy that I can’t sit still, I am going to throw off

my shoes and start dancing before the Lord. When I think I’m going

to explode if I can’t scream and yell with joy, I’m going to go some-

w h e re where I can yell my head off without worrying about people

who might be listening. God gave me emotions so I could re j o i c e —

so I intend to rejoice with all my being whenever I am overf l o w i n g

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am quick to help the gravely ill remember that they

have a right to call on the elders of their local church to come

anoint them with oil and pray the prayer of faith for their recovery.

The moment that the prayer of faith is prayed, God’s power will be

released—and that power will literally raise up the sick from the

bed of affliction and out of the sickness that has disabled them.

Jesus purchased healing for all believers. All they have to do is

exercise their right to receive their healing by faith, and they will

The Devil Must Flee

My Prayer for To d ay

from you.

L o rd, because You have given me the pro m i s e s

James 4:7

of Your Wo rd and the right to use Your name, I

refuse to let the devil bombard my mind any

l o n g e r. Right now I stand up to resist him,

oppose him, and put him on the run. Devil, you

will no longer have free access to my mind and

emotions, for I am standing up to resist you. Yo u

better put on your running shoes, because if you

stick around me, I intend to prosecute you with

the full authority of God’s Wo rd! I tell you to G O

in Jesus’ name! And, heavenly Father, I thank

You so much for giving me the great privilege of

using Your Wo rd and the authority of Jesus’

name. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am not a weakling! I have the power of God, the

Word of God, and the name of Jesus Christ at my disposal. When I

step into the full authority God has given me, the devil knows that

he must flee. I will not submit to the devil’s lies. If he tries to stick

around and harass me, I will enforce God’s authority upon him!

That’s why I know he will start to flee when I stand up to resist him

in Jesus’ name. So right now, I am taking charge over my mind and

commanding the devil to take flight! I declare this by faith in Jesus’

name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I live like a stranger who is simply passing through

this world. God has blessed me and made my journey comfortable,

but I never forget that this is only a brief journey in my eternal

destiny. When sin cries out for me to participate in its activities, I

remind sin and the flesh that I am not a resident of this world and

that I therefore do not have the right to enter into its activities.

Because the Spirit of God lives in me, I am fully empowered to say

no to sin and to remain free from its detrimental effects. I declare

this by faith in Jesus’ name!

The Genuine Love of a True Friend

Let love be

without

b

dissimulation….

My Prayer for To d ay

Romans 12:9

Lord, I ask You to please forgive me for the

times I’ve been an unfaithful friend. I know

there have been times in my life when I gos-

siped and talked about people who were sup-

posed to be my close friends. And I didn’t stop

there. Rather than confess what I did and ask

for forgiveness, I tried to cover it up by acting

like I hadn’t done anything wrong. I am so

sorry for what I have done. Please forgive me

for lying. Please forgive me for being a phony

in my relationships. I don’t ever want to do this

again, so I ask You to help me walk in truthful-

ness, integrity, and genuine agape love. I pray

this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I walk in the agape love of God. I am a sincere, truth-

ful, and dedicated friend. When I say that I love, I genuinely love. I

don’t talk behind people’s backs. I don’t gossip. I don’t betray the

friends God has brought into my life. If I do accidentally say some-

thing that is out of order, I quickly go to my friend to confess it and

to ask for forgiveness. This truthfulness causes my friends to trust

me and to know that I am truly a friend indeed. I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

Guard Against Evil Influences

My Prayer for To d ay

which is good.

Lord, I ask You to help me be sensitive to the

Romans 12:9

influences I allow in my home and life. I realize

that You have given me the responsibility to

watch over my life and that I need to be careful

about the information and images I allow to

pass into my spirit and mind. Please help me

recognize the influences that are acceptable

and those that are not. When I am quickened in

my spirit that what I am watching, reading, or

hearing is unprofitable, give me the strength of

will to turn it off, lay it down, or walk away

from it. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I carefully guard what goes into my spirit and my

mind because God has given me the responsibility to do so. There-

fore, I will not permit any evil garbage into the domain of my life.

By keeping my mind free of evil influences, I will protect my life

and stop the devil from many of the attacks he would like to launch

against me. I refuse to open the door and invite the enemy in by

watching or listening to the wrong things. Instead, I will turn my

attention to those influences that are good and profitable for me. I

am going to put my whole heart and soul into meditating on that

which will enrich my life and take me to a higher level. I declare

this by faith in Jesus’ name!

I also ask You to please help me see those who

need to be loved so I can include them as a

p a rt of my life. I want to give to others the love

and support that I have received. Holy Spirit,

help me to start doing this today. I pray this in

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God has given me a host of godly relationships. I am

blessed with genuine friends who love me like family; who treat me

like a brother (or sister); and who will walk in covenant with me for

many years to come. This is God’s will for my life. I will not be iso-

lated or live in a way that is disconnected from God’s family; rather,

I will continually look for ways to grow closer and closer to His

f a m i l y. Also, just as God is blessing me with precious friends, I

believe He is teaching me how to be a better friend to those who are

near me. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I will no longer be satisfied with living a low-level

existence. God has something great planned for me, and I have

made the decision to abandon the negligent attitudes that have

dominated my life. Jesus has called me to be a servant who brings

Him pleasure, so that is what I am going to do. I will not allow lazi-

ness or apathy to be a part of me any longer. I intend to start pro-

jecting continual enthusiasm and excitement about what Jesus has

Meeting the Needs of Other Believers

My Prayer for To d ay

Romans 12:13

L o rd, especially at this time of the year, I want

to look beyond my own challenges and pro b-

lems to see what I can do to meet the needs of

b rothers and sisters whose situations are more

serious than mine. I don’t want to be so self-

focused on my own needs that I forget that there

a re others who are struggling more seriously

than I am. In fact, even though I have been facing

d i fficult times, I know that my life is much more

blessed than some of my brothers and sisters

who live in other parts of the world. Lord ,

please help me to always be grateful for what I

have. Guide me as I seek to distribute a port i o n

of my finances and make a diff e rence in some-

one else’s life. And please, Lord, multiply this

seed that I am sowing by faith so that it comes

back to meet the needs I am facing in my own life.

I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I boldly declare that I am a giver! I refuse to allow the devil to make

me focus so intensely on my own problems that I forget about the

needs others are facing. Instead of taking care of only my own

needs, I declare that I am going to give a portion of my finances to

meet the needs of other believers who are in a more serious con-

dition than I am right now. To the best of my ability, I will give from

my resources to make a difference in someone else’s life, espe-

cially during this holiday season. I also claim the promise of God

that what I sow will be multiplied back to me again. I declare this

by faith in Jesus’ name!

Learning To Be Hospitable

…Given to

hospitality.

b

Romans 12:13

My Prayer for To d ay

Lord, I ask You to please forgive me for only

seeing the needs of my own social circle. The

fact is, there are so many people who are in

serious need, and I could be doing something

to help at least one of them. I am asking You to

help me take my eyes off myself and my little

circle of friends and to start seeing the needs

that are all around me. I don’t want to be guilty

of helping only those who bring a blessing to

my life. I want to be a blessing even to those I

don’t know and who will never be able to

return the favor to me themselves. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am a blessing to fellow believers who are in need.

My heart is open; my home is open; my pocketbook is open; and I

am willing and ready for the Lord to use me to help others. I thank

God that He can use me to make an impact in other people’s lives.

I believe that He will bless me for stepping out of my limited little

social circle to do a good deed for a fellow believer who really

needs a helping hand. And I declare that I won’t casually carry out

an occasional act of mercy. Instead, I will aggressively pursue the

attitude of hospitality until I catch it and become a genuinely hos-

pitable person. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Prayer for To d ay

Lord, I want to forgive those who have done so

Romans 12:14

much wrong by speaking lies and nonsense

about me. I don’t understand why they have

spoken those lies, but now people are listening

to the garbage they have told about me. Rather

than respond in anger and speak a bunch of

negative words that won’t help anyone, I

choose today to speak words of kindness and

blessing over those who have tried to hurt me.

Lord, I ask You to bless them, change them,

help them, and lead them into a higher way of

life. In the meantime, I am asking You to use

this hurtful situation to bring about needed

changes in me. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I don’t speak evil words about anyone—not even

against those who seek to hurt me and to do harm to my life. My

words are powerful, so I select the words I speak very carefully. I

choose to bless and to curse not, and I declare that because I have

taken this course of action, the strategies that the enemy is trying

to use against me will be frustrated and stopped. I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

Romans 12:15

When they rejoice, help me put aside my own

with them. When people weep and I’m not

feeling the pain they feel, help me set aside my

own lighthearted mood so I can be the kind of

friend they need in that vulnerable moment.

Holy Spirit, I know You can teach me how to

I face in life. So I ask You to start teaching me

how to be what I need to be in every type of cir-

cumstance. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am sensitive to the emotional climate around me.

When people are rejoicing, I join in and rejoice with them. When

people are weeping and feeling brokenhearted, I am careful to

show love and compassion to them. Because the Holy Spirit is

teaching me how to appropriately respond to the various situations

that arise in life, I am becoming more fit to minister to people in

any given circumstance. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I do not have a superior attitude about myself. I have

the mind of Christ, and I demonstrate an attitude of love and

acceptance to everyone I meet. When people walk away from me,

they feel like they have been accepted, embraced, and treated with

respect. Every day the Holy Spirit is teaching me more about how

to give others a sense of value about themselves. I thank God that

an attitude of superiority has no place in me and that each day I am

getting better at reaching out to others to benefit and bless their

lives. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Prayer for To d ay

Romans 12:17

Lord, I thank You for encouraging me to keep

my heart free of strife during this extremely

busy time of the year. There is so much to do,

so many places I have to be, and so many

people I need to see. I admit that the demands

of this time of year put a lot of stress and strain

on me. In the middle of all these activities, I

don’t want the devil to get the best of me, so I

am asking You to fill me with Your peace. Let

that divine peace rule me and my emotions so

I don’t let Satan get the upper hand in any of my

relationships during this special time of year. I

pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am free of strain and stress. My heart is filled with

the peace of God, and that wonderful peace is ruling my heart, my

mind, and my emotions. I am not quickly angered or offended. I

walk in patience and kindness, and I am quick to forgive and to

overlook the inappropriate actions of other people. Because God’s

peace is ruling in my heart, I will remain calm, peaceful, and

undisturbed by anything that happens around me during this very

busy holiday season. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

going to be very bold and tell You what is on my

my High Priest and that He understands me

and everything that affects my life. I pray this in

Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that no one wants me to succeed more than Jesus Him-

self. He knows the challenges I face as I pursue what He has put in

my heart. He knows I will face moments when I am physically tired

and mentally exhausted. Jesus understands every single emotion

and temptation I will ever face, and He is always right there to

provide grace to help me in my time of need. God wants me to be

very direct about telling Him when I need help, so today I come

boldly before His throne to tell Him about the needs I am facing in

my life. I never have to be timid or fearful about telling the Lord

exactly what I need because He encourages me to speak up and be

bold. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh! Before He was

ever born as a baby in Bethlehem, Jesus always existed, for He is

God Almighty. His birth in Bethlehem proves how vast His love is

for me. He so desired to have me as His child that He was willing

to make the ultimate sacrifice. And because He dressed Himself in

flesh and lived as a man for thirty-three years, He understands

everything I face and every temptation that comes my way. Oh,

how wonderful it is to know that Jesus loves me! I declare this by

faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that Jesus Christ loves me! He demonstrated His love to

me by leaving behind heaven’s glory and taking upon Himself

human flesh. And He did it for one purpose: so that one day He

could go to the Cross and die for me and thus reconcile me unto

God. There is no need for me to ever feel unloved or unwanted,

because Jesus went the ultimate distance to prove that He loves

me! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am filled with the Holy Spirit. Right now He is giving

me the boldness I need to tell my family and friends about Jesus

Christ and His death on the Cross for them. There is no better gift

I could give to anyone today than the message of the Gospel, so I

am choosing to give an eternal gift in addition to all the other gifts

that will be exchanged. The Holy Spirit is helping me recognize

opportunities to witness and to pray with people who need to

confess Jesus Christ as the Lord of their lives. I declare this by faith

in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that God has made me a part of an awesome team. Every

day we are becoming better and better, and as a result of the unity

that exists between us, we are achieving more than we ever

dreamed. So much power is released as we strive together to reach

the common purpose God has given us. In fact, the impossible is

possible, and the supernatural seems natural! With the help of the

Holy Spirit, strife is removed and harmony is at work as we all

reach toward our common, God-given goal. I declare this by faith

in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I genuinely wish to be set free from bitterness, unfor-

have produced their deadly fruit in my life for so long. I am ready

to do whatever is required to rip those roots clear out of my heart

so they won’t be able to resurface in my life again. By the power of

the Holy Spirit and the authority God has given me, I repent of

these detrimental attitudes that have been killing my joy, stealing

my peace, and nullifying my spiritual life. By faith I am walking

free from these enemies of my soul. I declare this by faith in Jesus’

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I will not tolerate attitudes of bitterness and unfor-

bad these attitudes are and how I need to change. I’m going to lift

my voice and speak to them like enemies of my soul that have

come to destroy my life and ruin my relationships. I simply will not

allow myself to be subjected to these hounding thoughts any

longer. I proclaim that I am free of the memories of those who did

wrong to me. I forgive them. I choose to let it all go. I am walking

completely free from these attitudes and will not be controlled by

them from this day forward! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

wrong thinking for the rest of my life. With the

authority You have given me, I can speak to

those attitudes and command them to go! I can

speak to my flesh, and it will obey me. Rather

than be conquered by my flesh, my negative

emotions, and my wrong attitudes, I am asking

You to help me rise up to take authority over

my soul and clean up the mess that has been

made inside my head. I know that with Your

help, my whole perspective can change! I pray

this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that it is time for me to rise up and take charge of the situa-

tion in my soul. It is my soul, so I am responsible for what happens

t h e re. Even if others did wrong to me, I choose to forgive, forget, and

p e rmanently walk free. Right now it doesn’t matter who is right or

w rong. What matters is that I uproot the tree of bitterness before it

p roduces any more deadly fruit in my life. So by faith, I am re a c h i n g

out to grab hold of the base of that ugly growth. I am gripping it tightly

and pulling with all my might to rip those roots right out of my heart !

I’ve been so busy that I haven’t made time in

Matthew 11:28

my schedule to come to You. Today I am

making the choice to put everything else aside

and to make my time with You the top priority

in my day. I need Your strength; I need Your fel-

lowship; I need Your tender touch; and I need

to hear Your voice. Spirit of God, my schedule is

very full, and I need special strength to make it

through this busy time. So I am coming to You

today to be refreshed so I can carry on! I pray

this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that the only way I can remain continually effective is to

spend time with the Lord. I will therefore quiet myself from the

commotion of life and get into the Presence of Jesus. I will settle

down and plan to stay there long enough to get everything I need

from Him. Staying in His Presence is not an option! It is my key to

remaining steadfast and strong enough to keep on schedule and to

stay on track with everything I need to do. The Holy Spirit will

release His resurrection power in me, and I will be strengthened,

refreshed, recharged, and empowered by God. Then I can get back

out there with a fresh perspective and new energy to finish what

I’ve started. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Spirit, and to exercise my faith more than ever

in my life from this day forward! Instead, I

release my faith and confidently expect to be a

partaker in the last and greatest harvest of

souls ever to be reaped for the Kingdom of God.

Holy Spirit, help me rise to the occasion as I

become an instrument God can use in these

last days. I pray this in Jesus’ name!

My Confession for To d ay

I confess that I am filled with faith and not fear, and that I am

excited to live in these last days. God has chosen for me to live in

some of the most challenging days the world has ever seen, but I

will face these times victoriously. He has given me a sound mind,

the promises of His Word, and the leadership of His Spirit.

Therefore, I will NOT retreat in fear or panic; instead, I am believ-

ing to be a part of the mightiest harvest of souls that history has

ever seen! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!

Prayer of Salvation

God loves you—no matter who you are, no matter what your

past. God loves you so much that He gave His one and only

begotten Son for you. The Bible tells us that “…whoever

believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John

3:16 NIV). Jesus laid down His life and rose again so that we

could spend eternity with Him in heaven and experience His

absolute best on earth. If you would like to receive Jesus into

your life, say the following prayer out loud and mean it from

your heart.

Heavenly Father, I come to You now, admitting that I

am a sinner. Right now I choose to turn away from

sin, and I ask You to cleanse me of all unrighteous -

ness. I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died on the cross

to take away my sins. I also believe that He rose

again from the dead so that I might be forgiven of my

sins and made righteous through faith in Him. I call

upon the name of Jesus Christ to be the Savior and

Lord of my life. Jesus, I choose to follow You and ask

that You fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit. I

declare that right now, I am a child of God. I am free

from sin and full of the righteousness of God. I am

saved in Jesus’ name. Amen.
