Now, because I know that
I am a son of my Heavenly Father
and also a brother of Jesus
My King of Kings and Lords of Lords
and because I am a clean and pure temple of the Holy Spirit
Wearing all the armor my Heavenly Father has given me
with the sword of the Spirit in one hand
and
with my shield of Faith in the other
I choose to take my stand alongside my brothers and sisters
around the world
and
speak forth these eternal truths
* * * * *
I recognize that there is only one true and living God
Who exists as the Father Son and Holy Spirit
* * * * *
and that He is worthy of all honor
praise and glory
as the Creator
Sustainer and Beginning and End
of all things
* * * * *
I recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah
the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us
* * * * *
I believe
that He came to destroy the works of satan
* * * * *
That He disarmed the rulers and authorities
and made a public display of them
having triumphed over them
* * * * *
I believe that God has proven His love for me
because when I was still a sinner
Christ died for me
* * * * *
I believe that He delivered me from the domain of darkness
and
transferred me to His kingdom
and
in Him I have redemption
the forgiveness of sins
* * * * *
I believe that I am now a son/daughter of God
and that I am seated with Christ in the heavenlies
* * * * *
I believe that I was saved by the grace of God
through faith that it was a gift
and
not the result of any works on my part
* * * * *
I choose to be strong in the Lord
and
in the strength of His might
* * * * *
I put no confidence in the flesh
For the weapons of warfare are not of the flesh
* * * * *
I choose to daily put on the whole armor of God
and
resolve to stand firm in my faith
and
resist the evil one
* * * * *
I believe that apart from Christ
I can do nothing
So I declare myself dependent on Him
* * * * *
I choose to abide in Christ
in order to bear much fruit
and
glorify my Father God
* * * * *
I announce to satan
that Jesus is my Lord
* * * * *
And
I reject any counterfeit gifts
or
works of satan in my life
* * * * *
I believe that the truth will set me free
and
that walking in the light
is the only path of fellowship
* * * * *
Therefore
I stand against satan’s deceptions
by taking every thought captive
in obedience to Christ
* * * * *
I declare that the Bible
is the only authoritative standard
* * * * *
I choose to speak the truth in love
* * * * *
I choose to present my body as an instrument of righteousness
a living and holy sacrifice
and
I renew my mind by the living Word of God
in order that I may prove that the will of God is
good
acceptable
and
perfect
* * * * *
I put off the old self with its evil practices
and
put on the new self
* * * * *
And
I declare myself to be a new creature in Christ
* * * * *
I ask my heavenly Father to fill me with His Holy Spirit
lead me into all truth
and
empower my life
that I may live above sin
and
not carry out the desires of the flesh
* * * * *
I crucify the flesh
and
choose to walk by the Spirit
* * * * *
I renounce all selfish goals
and
choose the ultimate goal of love
* * * * *
I choose to obey the two greatest commandments
to love the Lord my God
with all my heart
soul and mind
and
to love my neighbor as myself
* * * * *
I believe that Jesus has all authority
in heaven
and
on earth
and
that He is the head
over all rule and authority
* * * * *
I believe that satan
and
his demons are subject to me in Christ
since I am a member of Christ’s body
* * * * *
Therefore
I obey the command to resist the devil
and command him in the name of Christ to leave my presence
NOW!
