Day 31- The Day of Victory

There is no battle that I may encounter where I will not be victorious.

“Jehovah Izuz Wegibbor”

(The Lord Strong and Mighty – Psalm 24:8)

“Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah”

(The Lord mighty in battle—Psalm 24:8)

“Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle!” Psalm 24:8

Read: Psalm 24, Luke 10:19 & I John 5

Lord, as this period of Consecration concludes, may I never forget your revealed perceptions and character qualities that I’ve read about for the past 30 days.  Daily you were reminding me of who you are.  Daily you were revealing to me that you alone have the authority, the power, and the wisdom, to enable me to become victorious, in every situation.

So this “IS” a day of victory - because I have come to an awareness that you have equipped me with the proper devices to successfully stand against the wiles of the enemy.

As I encounter various attacks throughout this year, may I remain focused on who you are.  May I obtain an increase awareness of your omniscient presence.  Since you through your Son Jesus, have already successfully defeated every adverse force – may I never forget that I have a blood brought right to the same victorious state.

Therefore, I can only emerge from this consecration with a transformed mindset.  May  I  daily remember that whatever I encounter at this stage; in this dimension, on this plateau and from this platform where I now stand,  -  will propose no  threat to me—I will be victorious.  You have been re-establishing in me for these past 30 days, every facet of who you are.  I am now equipped with the wisdom tools that are necessary for my advancement, my encouragement and to maintain my stamina in you.

Because you are the LORD strong and mighty, because you are the LORD who is mighty in battle; because you cannot be defeated; and because you through your Holy Spirit live and abide in me, I have that same power within me.  Now I can truly proclaim without a doubt that….

“NO WEAPON, NO WEAPON, NO WEAPON…..

THAT IS, OR WILL BE FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER!”

Hallelujah—I AM VICTORIOUS!!!! 

(and I know it!!!)

 I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 30—The Day of Evangelism

 “Ha'ed Ha-Ne'eman”
Jesus -The Faithful Witness (Rev. 1:5).

“……………Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,                             Revelation 1:4 & 5

             Read:Revelation 3:14; John 8:14; Proverbs 14:5 

In these remaining days of this consecration, let us enhance and embrace the mandate that God though Jesus has given to each and every one of us.  The concept which is contained in what we refer to as, “The Great commission”.

The Scriptures reveal that Jesus illustrated to us the importance of being that faithful witness in every aspect of life.  Therefore no matter what we are experiencing, we should remember that we are undergoing: the good, the bad and the ugly; for no other reason than to be a faithful witness to the awesomeness of God the Father.  We are called to endure as good soldiers, and to remind everyone that our God is still the Lord over circumstance.

So Lord, I ask for your assistance in altering my outlook on evangelism.  May my concepts on evangelism not remain condensed to the notion of distributing tracts and specific “outreach programs”.   May my attitude emanate from the viewpoint that I am God’s evangelist “24 - 7 - 365”. May I remember that I am to be a faithful witness for the Lord on a daily basis through my: lifestyle, appetites, desires, conversations and even my appearance.   May I always remember that Jesus, as that faithful witness, never lost His focus; nor permitted the daily occurrences of life to persuade Him or cause Him not to be faithful in His commitment to you, His Father.  May I no longer relinquish or diminish the power and presence of the indwelling power of the Holy Ghost by stating, “Well I’m not Jesus”.  May I now advance towards the walk of maturity and willingly submit, surrender and transform myself to mirror: “I CAN do all things through Christ who gives me the strength” – even become a faithful witness.

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 29 - The Day of Affirming Your Promises

Today O Lord….. surround us with the manifestation of  your promises.

“Ruach HaKodesh ka'sher dibber”

(Holy Spirit Of Promise (Eph. 1:13)

Read:  Acts 2:33;  Galatians 3;14; Ephesians 4:21; 4:30

Lord, when your Son walked this earth, there came a time when he had to return back to you.  However, prior to his departure, he promised those whom he loved that he wouldn’t leave them alone – but would send another comforter to them. 

The Holy Spirit is your fulfillment and the revelation of that promise.  Jesus’ disciples now had to trust and rely on the Holy Spirit – one who they couldn’t see, to replace the physical presence of the one that they loved so much. 

As I go THROUGH difficult times and the normal occurrences of this life; may I always cling to and depend upon the eternal, all sufficient power of the Holy Spirit.  May I stand anchored and yet affirm that His manifested presence makes accessible every promise that you have stated in your Word. 

Thank you Lord for being ever present.  Thank you Lord for the indwelling presence and power of the Holy Spirit.  Thank you Lord that I can affirm and confirm the authenticity of your promises through the Holy Spirit.

I decree and declare that it is so…..  In the name of Jesus – Amen.

Day 28—The Day of Realization

……Am I a Good Shepherd or a Hireling?

 “HaRo'eh HaTov”

(Jesus - The Good Shepherd - John 10:11, 14)

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. St. John 10:11

Read: St. John 10

Lord God, you have chosen to permit your Son to reveal to us a unique relationship – that between the Shepherd and his sheep.

Many of us in reality; cannot fully comprehend the amount of dedication, and unconditional love that is felt by the Shepherd for his sheep.  However, you have told us that the GOOD Shepherd is willing to risk their own life to protect and defend his sheep. That’s love.

So may I mirror the example of Jesus – the good shepherd.  May I establish motives, desires   and guidelines which are in accord with those of a good shepherd. 

May I yield and submit entirely to all that enables me to safeguard my possessions; in the realm of spiritual and in the physical realm.    I will never possess the character qualities of a hireling….thus causing me to abandon what you have entrusted to me.  I will effectively stand against the forces that emanate from the kingdom of darkness; which attempt to cause me to desert dreams and visions that you have given to me.

May I come to an awareness that as your Son gave His life for us –your sheep; I must express the same amount of love for you by being a good shepherd and not a hireling - at any cost.

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 27—The Day of Reality 

The truth will always prevail!

“ADON KOL-HA’ARETS”
(Lord of all the earth.)

“The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth”.  Psalm 97:5                                                                                                                                  

Read:  Jos. 3:11, 13; Ps. 97:5; Zech. 4:14; 6:5.

Lord, you have established and revealed yourself throughout history as the “Lord of all the earth.”   Without regards given to the: political, economic, religious customs and any other trend of this world – the truth yet remains ….. YOU are still the Lord of all the earth.  

So today may I do a reality check.  I ask that you produce within me awareness that will illuminate every thought pattern that contradicts the reality of who you are.  Areas that have not yet been survived.  Areas where I may have permitted the cares of this world to become residents.  May I carefully “weed out” and forcefully evict these thoughts which have caused me to conform to the ideologies and methodologies of this world.  (Realizing that they have opened the doorways for fear, doubt, unbelief, and the like to enter.)

Since your character qualities don’t possess the ability for you to change; may find security in knowing that it doesn’t matter what occurs within this earth – you are still the Lord of this earth and all that transpires in it.  You have given to us the dominion over the functioning and governing this earth – but you are still Lord.

Therefore, I will exercise my power and authority to exemplify the reality of the fact that your Lordship is ever present.

  I decree and declare that it is so…..  In the name of Jesus – Amen.

Day 26—The Day of Servanthood

 “Eved HaKadosh ”

Jesus, The Holy Servant – (Acts 4:27)

“Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.”  Acts 4:27 NIV

 Read: Matthew 20:26-28 (NIV); I Corinthians 7:22 (NASV); Philippians 2:7 (NIV); I Corinthians 9:19 (NIV)

Prayer of Servanthood

(Extracted from my book, “Because I Know Your Word, I STAND” @2003)

Father God I thank you for the opportunity to be used of the Holy Spirit to minister to your people.......

Therefore, I have come to the realization that if I am to lead effectively, I must first become a servant.  I will therefore refine my servanthood mentality to the upmost.                                               

As I seek to obtain a more in-depth perception of those whom you have given me to serve, may I continue to curtail or “redirect” my own opinions.  May I submit to the spirit of humility that is required of me, to serve you effectively through serving them.

Lord, I realize the mandate on my life to constantly cultivate every area of my being.  I will never permit pride to mask itself in my life, thus enabling me to become nonchalant, self-satisfied, or complacent in my relationship with you.

You require an excellent commitment.  I therefore decree to align every aspect of my life to display the same.  I will continue to press into your sovereignty.  I will lead with integrity, with expectation and with dedication.  I am a faithful and obedient steward over all that you have positioned in my charge.  This places me in the position to be totally used of you as your proficient servant.

Daily may I continue to realize that I if I am going to be your profitable servant, I must strive, with my entire being to: love the unlovable, teach the unteachable, and reach the unreachable. Then will I be able to demonstrate the servanthood qualities displayed by Christ, and have at my disposal the mentality to serve you to the highest, by serving all men.

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 25—The Day of Establishing Priorities  

Today O God, may I not provoke your anger.

“El KANNA”

(The Jealous God – Exodus 20:5)

“You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,” Exodus 20:5                                                                                                                                   

“El ZELOO”

(The jealous God – James 4:4&5)

⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?                      James 4:4-5 NKJV

Read James 4

When we refer to the words jealous or jealously, normally, we relate to them from a negative prospective.  However, there are always at least two sides to every coin. 

Every attribute of God is still an expression of His love for us.  It is because of that love, that He only desires for us to acquire only the best in every arena.  Many times, because we don’t fully understand the total concept of God’s love for us; we think that He has established unrealistic demands or limits on us.  God’s guidelines for our lives, is always motivated from a perspective of genuine love, true love – the which we have no true concept.  If we could ever understand His love – then we would have no problem adhering to His word – Regardless. 

When in our lives, we have not received the proper application of unselfish love, then, we in return are more prone to lack the ability to properly love God.  In life, this is the reason why we can willingly and willfully disobey Him and reject His love.  Whenever we decide to walk according to our own desires or to delight ourselves in what the world has to offer; we are rejecting the love of God. In reality I am saying – “God I Still Don’t Understand Your Love For Me!”

The Message Bible states James 4:4-5 this way. “You’re cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn’t care? The proverb has it that “he’s a fiercely jealous lover.” And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you’ll find. It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.”

So Father God I will continue to keep you as the focal point of my life.  In my list of priorities, I will esteem you.  I will bring an amended consciousness to your love for me.  Because I understand your unselfish, “no holds barred” for love for me, I will return the same.  May I always remember that everything I do must be for no other reason - than to express to you and show others my love for you. Anything that has moved you from your place of supremacy in my life; be it prestigious positions, business or personal relationships, money, assets – WHATEVER – will now be moved a position of subordination.  I will no longer “cheat on you” Lord.   You are number one and my actions and motives will reflect the same.  

  I decree and declare that it is so…..  In the name of Jesus – Amen.

Day 24—The Day of Comfort

 “Jehovah El Ha-Melitz ”

…….My Lord, My God, My Comforter

(The Lord God my Comforter - Isaiah 51:12A)

                                     "I, even I, am the one who comforts you. Isaiah 51:12A

Read Psalm 91

Storms don’t come to stay…they come and pass.

Therefore, Oh Lord, may I always retain of focus – regardless.  May I never permit the tragedies, the abrupt and sudden onset of situations; to overtake my mind or emotions.  May I always find the comfort and peace that I need, in my assurance of who you are.

Every storm has a purpose.   You have fore warned us that in this world we will have trouble, trials, and tribulations - storms.  However, you have also said to be of good cheer because you have overcome the world.  Therefore, since you have successfully overcome all that this world has presented to you - I also am an overcomer.

When I reflect, I can hear my Grandmother saying that the darkest hour is just before dawn.  So Lord, may I always take comfort in knowing that the sun WILL always appear again.  May I perpetually find comfort in you, Jehovah El Ha-Melitz .  May I stand in the midst of every storm and still yet declare that you are Lord.   

May I remember that you have orchestrated the timing and the nature of every storm in my life.  May I trust and cling to your immutable anchor.  May I never cease to find solace in the guidance of your omniscient and omnipotent eye. 

You ARE my Jehovah El Ha-Melitz – my COMFORTER, my LORD, my GOD!  Hallelujah!

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 23 - "The Day of Acknowledging My Helper"

 “Elohim Ozer Li”

(God my Helper - Psalm 54:4)

 “Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.” Psalm 54:4

Read Psalm 54

The word helper in this verse can be referenced to, and obtains its meaning from the root Hebrew word “azar”; which means to surround, help or succor.  

So today, Father God, I can find comfort and a sense total tranquility in the fact that you are my helper.  It is your assistance and support that is forever surrounding me and permitting me to remain stable in an unstable and ever changing world.  It is because you are surrounding me that I will never ever need to be overly concerned with the apparent attacks from the enemy.  May I always remember that you have established an impenetrable, imperforateable, force field around me.

Therefore, whatever I may encounter; whether it seems to be good, bad or indifferent; has received your stamp of approval, -  you have permitted it to gain an entrance into my “safety zone” that you have provided.

 May I never authorize the spirit of pride to ever convince me to walk in the erroneous concept, that I have made, or have the ability to make any accomplishments without you.  May I remain humbled and appreciative that you have chosen to support, comfort and assist me; thus enabling me to stand stable on high terrain - with hinds’ feet.

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 21 - The Day of  Resurrection

 “El Hay”

(The Living God – Joshua 3:10, Jeremiah 23:36, Daniel 3:26)

“And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.   Joshua 3:10

Read: Joshua 3

To bring resurrection to something it must first be: dead, lying dormant, non-productive, insensitive, or unresponsive.  Therefore, every position, every platform, every angle from which I operate, must be brought into the alignment of what corresponds with “life”.   

Today is the day that I will look in retrospect at my life from my earliest remembrance.  I will search for those character qualities that were once common ground and associated with who I was.  Although there may have been instances when those character traits where “out of control”, I must now resurrect them by the power of you, El Hay. I must realize that since you instilled them in me – they are to be used for your glory.  Everything and anything that at one time may have been used for the edification of the kingdom of darkness – and that I have discarded; must be resurrected and used for the exaltation of your glory.

Since you, El Hay are the living God; and you dwell in me, I have the power of life within me.  I have the ability to effectively administer C.P.R. to the heart of the many ideas, dreams, and aspirations that I have “placed on the shelf”.  I also have your God given authority, to take an affirmative position against the enemy and to place his attacks of death under “H.G.A.” (Holy Ghost Arrest).   I will never again permit him to intimidate me through disappointments, discouragement and the like.  

Because you live – I SHALL live.  Because you restore life – I SHALL restore life.  Because you produce rebirth – I SHALL produce rebirth. Because you generate revival – I SHALL generate revival.  It is because of whom you are, my El Hay, that I SHALL LIVE and not DIE, but efficiently and successfully declare the works that you have assigned to me.

 I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 20 - The Day of Affirming Lordship

“ ...Because you are my LORD, you are my glory.”

“Jehovah Kabodhi”

(The Lord My Glory – Psalm 3:3)

“But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.”        Psalm 3:3

Read: Psalm 3 & Psalm 27

Today, I will affirm that through your power, Jehovah Kabodhi, I will always bring your glory, magnificence, and splendor into every situation.  I affirm that you are the lifter of my head.   I also affirm that failure is never an option.  I have given to you the place of authority, and supreme “ruler ship” in my life.  Therefore, as I permit my will, emotions, and thoughts to be further conformed into your image – I am becoming that vessel of honor; yielded to your shield of protection.

May I never, ever become so overwhelmed by the nonsense of the adversary, that I forget that no weapon he devises can prosper.  It is because of your place of lordship in my life, that you will delay but never deny anything necessary for my success.    As my shield your power is both offensive and defensive.  May I always remember that as my Lord, it is through the sustaining power of your Holy Spirit, that you have sealed within me gifts and anointings that are being manifested in this season.   Lord, reveal to me every area where your lordship does not have the preeminent rule.  May I continually realize that in every area of my life where you are not Lord; I am committing self-sabotage.  I am opening the door; permitting an entrance for my enemies and placing a break in your protective shield.

May I never cease to honor, and uphold you as my true Lord over and in every situation.  May my mind never wander nor become double - minded….because you are my Lord.  May I daily cast down every vain imagination and every high thing that attempts to exalt itself against your divine Lordship in my life.

Lastly, because you are my Lord, may I daily captivate and bring every thought captive to your obedience. Since every action is preceded by a thought, if I correct my thinking, and establish your “Lordship” mindset….then my daily walk will be one that is worthy of your approval.

Thank you Lord that will never walk in fear because I am perpetually protected, triumphant and successful in my every endeavor!

  I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 19—The Day of Remembering Israel

“Lord may your peace and blessings be on Jerusalem”

“Jehovah Elohe Yisrael”

(The Lord God of Israel – Psalm 41:13)

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen and Amen.”                           Psalm 41:13

Read: Psalm 41 & Psalm 122

I must not continue this consecration O Lord, without my focus including your original chosen nation. 

So on today I lift to you and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  May I always remember to include them in my times of intercession and thanksgiving.  I pray that your peace will invade both their natural and spiritual realms.  I pray that Jerusalem as a whole will begin to know and love your Son Jesus - thus receiving the true peace that only he can afford them. May they enjoy the benefits which result from a “peaceful mindset”…- which has developed a spiritual appetite and acceptance of your Holy Spirit.  

Let me always remember that I have at my disposal that most powerful weapon available to assist my brothers and sister in Jerusalem.  That weapon is prayer. 

May I come into agreement with these words of Matthew Henry in regards to the peace of Jerusalem:

“Let us consider all who seek the glory of the Redeemer, as our brethren and fellow-travelers, without regarding differences which do not affect our eternal welfare. Blessed Spirit of peace and love, who didst dwell in the soul of the holy Jesus, descend into his church, and fill those who compose it with his heavenly tempers; cause bitter contentions to cease, and make us to be of one mind. Love of the brethren and love to God, ought to stir us up to seek to be like the Lord Jesus in fervent prayer and unwearied labour, for the salvation of men, and the Divine glory.”

 I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 18—The Day of Positioning

Lord, you are supreme in power & position.

“Elhoy Marom”

(The God of heights – Micah 6:6)

"With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the exalted God? “      Micah 6:6

Read Micah 6

As this text is researched, we can observe that the word “height” here signifies supremacy of power and position.

So Lord, may I now aline and place everything under the authority of who you are.  May I never exalt the power of my thoughts or actions above what your word demonstrates and declares.

I will no longer surrender to; and I forbid, any other power to rule or to reign in my life.  My acceptance of your sovereignty and my knowledge of your omnipotence validate who you are.  I ask that those character qualities fully infiltrate my every thought.  May I renew my mind to the extent that I have reworded my vocabulary, to release from my mouth, only the words that will reflect what your Word declares.

There is no other, nor has there ever been, nor ever will be, any force, - visible or invisible, that is able to be in comparison with who you are.  Your attributes reveal that you are matchless. Therefore you are the monarch, the exalted one.  We could climb up to the highest mountain; even search the lowest valley….  And the supremacy of your power and authority would yet reveal that… There’s NOBODY GREATER THAN YOU!

May I continuous position my spirit to operate in submission only to your sovereign reign, your absolute authority and your ultimate guidance.

 I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 17—The Day of Compassion

Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them.

“El Rachum”

(The God of compassion. – Deut. 4:31)

"For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.”       Deuteronomy 4:31

                                                        New American Standard Bible (©1995)

Read: Deuteronomy 4 & Ephesians 4 (emphasis on verse 32)

Lord, may one of my objectives for today be to extend to others the acts of compassion that you have shown to me. 

May my heart not be hardened to those who are not even seeking to know you and love you.  May I not retaliate and avenge others – but be motivated to extend and show them true concern and consideration regardless of their acceptance or rejection of my actions of kindness towards them.

Lord, I do realize that I must receive and understand your compassionate love towards me, if I am going to have the ability to reflect the same. 

May I not just sing about your love and compassion, read about it, talk about it, and  confess it; but may I, as another benefit of this consecration,  daily increase my demonstrations of genuine compassion towards others.   

When I begin  to realize  and focus on how you, El Rachum, have been so compassionate and expressed  your unconditional love towards me; may I then remember that I have no other choice than to show to others the same.

“I CAN do all things through You, El Rachum, who has given me the strength!”

 I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 15 - The Day of Breakthrough 

“Breakthrough Oh Lord, so that I may break forth”

“Yahweh Perazim ”

(The Lord of Breakthrough –II Samuel 5:20)

So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, "As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me……………… (II Samuel 5:20)

Read: II Samuel 5

As I enter this time of fasting, and consecration, Lord I am requesting that you would permit the power of the Holy Ghost to “breakthrough” and to break up any residue that is still attempting to linger in my spirit.  Any lingering mindset that will prevent your power from having its full range in my spirit, Yahweh Perazim, I summit my will to you now, and request that you break through it.  Burst forth as the waters through an overly stretched dam.  Break forth with your explosive, uncontainable power. 

As you broke through and rescued David from his enemies, breakthrough the plans and devices that my enemy, the master deceiver, has concocted for my demise and destruction.   Break through every shackle that is still attached to my feet, thus attempting to prevent me from being in my “appointed places” at the correct times. Break through the thorns and thistles in the realm of spirit, which produce the “snags” that permit me to misuse or waste valuable time.  Break through unhealthy, nonproductive relationships.  Break through every barrier and “smoke screen” that is hindering and blocking my vision - still preventing me from aggressively and confidently advancing.  Break through every negative spirit that the traditions of man have instilled in me, which are hindering the effectiveness of our twenty-first century church.  Yahweh Perazim, search my entire being, layer by layer.  Whatever concepts, precepts, ideologies, methodologies and the like, that are contrary to yours – break them up, move them out, replace them with your wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

And now Yahweh Perazim, as you break through, may I daily begin to perceive the results which are being produced from my enhanced position of power and authority.  May I begin to break forth into one who is: feared, detested, hated, envied and begrudged by the kingdom of darkness.  As you use me mightily, may I always remain cognizant and grateful to you, Yahweh Perazim - for your prodigious “break -through” anointing.  May I never become arrogant, conceited or heady – only more confident as I walk and rest in the freedom that only you have the ability to provide. 

 I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 14—The Day of Loving God

“Thou shall have no other gods”

“El Chaiyai”

(The God of My Life –Psalm 42: 8&9)

But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.

                                                                    New Living Translation (©2007)

Read Psalm 42

King David was known as a man after the heart of God.  Although he had his faults, his heart was full of the love of God and for God.  In Psalm 42, He is praying to “the God who gives him life”. 

Today, May I O Lord, have a heart that is full of love for you.  May everything that I encounter only bring me to an increased awareness of your love for me - and birth within me an added dimension of who you really are.

In this era when the foundational principles that had been established for our betterment, have now been abolished from the “white house to the poor house”; when diabolical occurrences are influencing the minds of many; - and even various kingdom principles have been altered by man; ….  I can without a doubt; but with a full assurance, confidence, and a definite aplomb, rely on your undying, unconditional, absolute, “no holds barred”, love for me.  Therefore, because you love me, as of today, I will begin to amend my entire being to reflect more of my love for you.   May you not just be first in my life – but may you become my life.  May you, El Chaiyai, truly be the God of my life.  May my every decision indicate the I love you.  May my every motive mirror that I love you. May I never be ashamed to permit my every action to be an open display of the fact that I LOVE YOU!

May my love for you so engulf my heart, that I will know you as King David did and wholeheartedly

say, ‘Lord never take your Holy Spirit from me”.   I will never erect any idol in my life thus “override the guiding and protective power of the Holy Spirit”. 

I love you Lord, I love you Lord, LORD I LOVE YOU!…. therefore, my worship to you is generated from a heart of true love.

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 13—The Day of Kindness

“Kindness can only be sown from a heart that is tender.”

“Elohay Chasdi”

(The God of my Kindness - Psalm 59:11)

Love is patient, love is kind…... I Corinthians 13:4

Read Psalm 59 & I Corinthians 13

It has been said that our actions speak louder than our words.  The Bible states, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32 NIV).   Lord, may I remember, to constantly walk in a disposition unforgiveness, will prevent me from possessing the ability to express kindness to others.

So Lord, I ask that you reveal to me anything within me that is yet preventing me from the ability to show compassion, gentleness and consideration to EVERYONE.  May I not be bias in my actions, but develop the renewed mindset that has become yielding to the ability to express your unconditional love.

May the spirit of pride never mask its self in me, thus manifesting in an unkind, arrogant, haughty, rancorous, vindictive, egotistical, overly confident, heart.  May I never forget through pain, hurt or “convenient amnesia”, the countless acts of kindness that you have displayed and are yet displaying to me - and operate daily from that platform.

I decree and declare that it is so…..In the name of Jesus.  Amen

Day 12—The Day of Accountability

“My awareness of your omnipresence elevates my accountability to you O Lord”

“Yahweh Hashopet”

(The Lord the judge - Psalm7:8)

“Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.”   Psalm 7:8            World English Bible

Read Psalm 7 and I Corinthians 4

Lord, as another benefit resulting from this period of consecration; I decree that I have an enlightened mindset in regards to my accountability toward you.   May I view with a higher regard every plan, idea and every strategy that you have given unto me - whether it be for me, your people or for the entire universe. 

Although you “Yahweh Hashopet, judge my motives and actions, I must never become stagnant, thus further nurturing the actions of procrastination, that attempt to become a comfort zone.

Therefore, I acknowledge the fact that I hold in high esteem all that you have entrusted to my hands.  So…. as of today, I will begin to set in motion and actively pursue every avenue that leads me to, and takes me down, the path of your divine destiny for my life.  Because I regard my accountability to you far more superior than any earthly commitment, I have an increased zeal to aggressively accomplish your plans for my life.  

So Lord, may my actions always be in alignment with the motives that you, the righteous judge, see within my heart. 

I decree and declare that it is so…..  In the name of Jesus – Amen.
