iPray: Day 24

My Positive Confession

So is my word that goes out from my mouth. It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:11)

From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the works of his hands rewards him. (Psalm 12:14)

I am blessed and highly favoured. I repeat that I am blessed and highly favoured. I am blessed, that is my identity. I have been empowered to prosper, I am blessed because Jesus came and hung on a tree, becoming a curse that I might be blessed. The blessing of the Lord is upon me. I am blessed beyond my current circumstances, beyond my job, above my postcode, my job, my financial status. The blessing of Abraham rests upon my life because I am obedient to my God and I fulfill my part of the covenant and I know the God that I serve is a Covenant keeping God.

I obey His Words, I keep His commands therefore I speak to my hands, the works of my hands are blessed, the works of my hands will be sought at the city gates, my hands will build up great things, I will use these hands to write the word of the Lord. My basket is blessed, my barns and storehouses are blessed. My family is blessed because of me. I am blessed in my going out and coming in. I am blessed because God said so and it simply means I have been empowered from on High to prosper.

I decree and declare that from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, every cell, every organ works in the way it was created to work. I speak against illness and disease. The Word of God says the Sun of righteousness will arise with healing in his wings, that by the Stripes of Jesus I am healed, that none of the diseases of the Egyptians shall be my portion, Lord I declare I am healed. I know the enemy tries to toy with my health but Lord I declare that I am healed. I am healed because your word says so. I am joyful and fluorishing, I wear the garments of praise and throw off the cloak of heaviness in Jesus name.

Greater are you in me than he that is in the world, therefore no weapon fashioned against me, my loved ones, my posessions or my property shall prosper. I refute the words of every tongue that has risen up against me and mine in Jesus and declare that only the word of the Lord concerning me shall stand in Jesus name. Lord, there is no divination, no curse that can succeed for I am the seed of Abraham. I will arise and I will shine because the glory of the Lord rises upon me. It doesn't matter that darkness has covered the face of the earth, I am the light of the world, the salt of the earth and the nations shall be drawn by my light in Jesus name.

I declare that I am free from lack as I take godly steps towards financial freedom, I declare myself free from debt and the spirit of consumerism. My God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory, the cattle on a thousand hills belong to Him so I know I need not fear. I pay my tithe, therefore the devourer in any form is rebuked for my sake. I sow, sometimes in tears and therefore I am expectant of a harvest.

I confess therefore I posess all that the word of God has said concerning my life. Lord I declare springs where there has been dryness, I declare that a manifestation of your power will be at work in my life. I decree that I walk in wisdom and diligence in my daily activities, that I prioritise and am diligent with the work you have given me. Father Lord God, your word says you will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go, that you will counsel me and watch over me. I receive these in Jesus name and ask for courage to go with your counsel.

Father I am happy being me because you created me fearfully and wonderfully. I choose not to walk in the way of fear because that is not the Spirit you have given me but one of love, power and a sound mind. I choose to exercise my faith in you to take you at your word and not take circumstances at their word. I choose to speak your words back to you because you watch over them to perform them. I am excited because I am free. I believe and confess, I am a blessed child of God.

I decree and declare that in 2010 I shall walk in love, I am not ignorant of the devices of the enemy and I know that love, the higher way is often a path difficult to tread but Father you supply the grace so I declare again that I will walk in love with you, with me and with the people you have placed along the path. Father this year, I will manifest all that you have placed within me, that I will run with the vision that has been written down. This is a year of Focus, a year of purpose. Thank you lord.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord. With the heart man believes but with our mouth confession is made unto salvation and I thank you Lord for being an All-powerful God capable of turning ANY situation around. I give you praise. Yes God you're able to do what you said you would do. Thank you.

Remain blessed and highly favoured. 2010 remains our year of 'The Lord has done this' and He is doing it.

A season of prayer; Day 29

A prayer when God seems far away

All the glory must be to our God
For He is worthy of our praise
No one on earth should give glory to himself
All the glory must be to the Lord
(I can't remember who sang this song but author you are acknowledged)

Where would I be without my Father and my King? Where would I be without my God? The One who created me with ten fingers and ten toes. The One who watches over and protects me, we woke up this morning to realise that the door was not properly locked..surely He is true to His word that evil will never come near our dwelling place. Father, I bless you, I give you glory, I honour and magnify your name. You are good and your mercies endureth forever.

Down at your feet O lord
is the Most High place
In your presence Lord
I seek your face
For there is no higher calling
No greater honour
than to bow
and kneel before your throne
I'm amazed at your glory
embraced by your mercy
Lord I (help me) live to worship you
(Can't find the author of this either)

Dear Daddy, some days it seems that you are so far away. I pray but it feels like the prayer is not going past the roof, i get anxious, i get upset because i need an answer and it seems that you are not forthcoming. Forgive me for sometimes I search for alternatives, for Ishmael because I say to myself.."just in case He doesn't come through". I repent of this O Lord. Father, your word says that we will hear a voice telling us the way that we should walk in but sometimes I do not hear a voice, all I get is silence, a screaming silence for silence can be louder than the greatest noise.

Lord, I remember your word today, that even when you are silent you are with me. Your word says that you are with me always even to the end of the age. Remind me that when I scream "Lord, where are you, why have you forsaken me" that you've been there all along. That I do not see your footprints in the sand does not mean you are not there. You were with Job for 37 chapters when all hell broke through in his life but you did not speak until Chapter 38. You were there when Joeseph's brothers sold him into slavery, when he was thrown in prison and up to his days in the palace. You were there when David was singled out from amongst his brothers to care and tend for the sheep, you were there when Lot selfishly chose the 'better' land for himself. If you were there for all these people, Lord I know that you are there for me. David sais that there is no where we can hide from your presence from the depths of hell to the highest heavens. Remind me Father that you are with me. Keep my mind sane when I feel you are far away. Let your word come and strengthen my heart and let me keep pressing in to know you more and to fulfill the destiny you have created me for in Jesus name.

Dear God, I pray for strength not to give in to temptations that will pose a barrier between me and you, for you have commanded me to be holy and set apart as you are holy. Create in me a clean heart O Lord, renew a right spirit within me. Thank you for being a God who is close, for being a God who is there. You said I should call upon you and you will answer. Speak to me O Lord, I need to hear your voice, I need you to touch me and keep me whole. Thank you Father, thank you Lord.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:20

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:7-10
