2nd Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:

old things are passed away;

behold, all things are become new."

If you ask Jesus to come into your life and forgive you of your sins, He will begin changing you right away!

Jesus will make you perfectly clean on the inside and only He can do that! 

He doesn't want you to go back to the way you were but wants you to remember that you are new. 

In order to continue the process and to stay free it is important for you to continue to feed yourself His Word.

Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, I ask you to remind me today by Your Holy Spirit that I am a new creature and to keep the past in the

past.  I am now a child of the Light and I no longer walk in darkness.  Today I receive your blessings, your joy and

your strength.  Today I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!  I pray this in Jesus' matchless name.

AMEN!

Galatians 5:1

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty

wherewith Christ hath made us free

and be not entangled again

with the yoke of bondage."

In other words, stay put in the freedom you received when you gave your life to Jesus.

Don't get tangled back up in the old chains of sinful habits or pleasures or it will bring the same results!

The Lord set you free from those things and His Word will keep you free!

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for this day and for another opportunity to bring glory to your Kingdom.

Please help me to stay free today from my past life and to walk in the New Life that you gave me.

Today I will resist temptation and I will please you, my creator.

I receive your instructions and your  blessings on this day.

I AM FREE!

In Jesus' Name I pray.

AMEN!

Colossians 3:1-2

"If ye then be risen with Christ,

seek those things which are above,

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set your affection on things above,

not on things of the earth."

When you gave your life to Jesus, the way you used to be died and you became a new person.

Being that new person, where you keep your mind is super important.

This scripture is telling us to keep our mind on Godly things and not things of this earth.

Earthly pleasures only last a little while, but the Word of God lasts forever!

Allow the Lord to remind you of this scripture though out the day to keep your thinking in check.

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus, I thank you for my new life and for the joy you've given me.

Please help me today and everyday keep my mind on Heavenly things.

Let my thinking and my actions be pleasing this day in your sight.

In Jesus' Name I pray.

AMEN!

Proverbs 3:6

"In all thy ways acknowledge Him,

and He shall direct thy paths."

Think about it.  The God we serve is never wrong.

He is for us and not against us!

Why wouldn't you run everything by a God who is always right and who loves you so much?

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for this opportunity to talk to you before I do anything.

Please remind me Holy Spirit to stay in constant communication with You.

I put my trust in You and I ask that you order my steps this day.

Please open and close doors in my life and let Your will be done.

In Jesus' Name I pray.

Psalms 1:1

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

God has certain conditions for us to meet so that we can be b;essed (happy or content).

Be careful who you get your advice from.  Get instruction from those who say what the Bible says.

We can't do something just because everyone else does it, especially if it is wrong.

God wants us to be uplifting and encouraging and not someone who puts others down.

This is a formula to be blessed and is an awesome lifestyle.

Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, I want to be blessed and I ask you continue to teach me Your ways so that I can walk in your blessing.

Please help me to be careful who I listen to and what I watch and give my attention to.

I want to be a light for you in the dark places I sometimes have to go.

Thank you for your direction, your protection and your correction.

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

Proverbs 18:21

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue:

and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

Fellow believers, we must  be so careful what we say.

We have the power to speak death or life into our situation, our lives and the lives of others!

Speak life and truth even when you are surrounded by darkness and gloom.

YOUR words have so much power so choose them wisely!

If you don't have something good to say, it is so wise to be quiet.

Think before you speak!

Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, you know that I'm human and have a lot on my mind.

Please help me to be careful what I allow to come out of my mouth.

Please forgive me for all of the times I did not speak life.

I am more than a conqueror and I am a child of the light.

I receive your wisdom today for the words I need to use to make today an absolute success!

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

Luke 18:1

"And he spake a parable unto them to this end,

that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;"

Prayer Changes Everything!

What an opportunity we have to pray to a God who is all powerful and never wrong!

We should pray about everything and take the time to wait for an answer.

Prayer is a dialogue which means we talk and God talks back.

An old hymn says this:

Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bare,

All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer.

Let's Pray:

Lord Jesus thanks so much for the awesome opportunity to speak to You.

You are awesome and almighty, you are all seeing and all knowing.

Please guide me this day and order each one of my steps.

Thank you that you care about every little detail of my life.

I pray that your perfect will be done in my life this day.

In Jesus' Name I pray.

Amen.

Luke 10:19

  "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,

and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

You are powerful!

We have power over all of the power of the devil!

This power comes from God and is activated using His Word and the name of Jesus!

Use what you've got and don't put up with the lies, tricks and deceptions of your enemy.

Let's pray.

Jesus, I thank you that I am not powerless and that I am more than a conqueror.

I receive your joy today which is my strength.

I exercise my power over my enemy and I break every power of darkness that would try to hinder me or my family.

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

Proverbs 16:25

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,

but the end thereof are the ways of death."

Today and everyday let's remember how serious it is to do things God's way.

If we acknowledge Him, (run everything by Him) He will direct our steps.

So many are hurting because they insist on doing things their way.

God's way will always lead you to something greater than your way!

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus I ask you to forgive me for all of the times I had to have my way.

Today I pray that Your will be done in my life as I learn to trust You with everything.

Lord please release me from relationships and habits that aren't healthy for my spirit.

Today I receive Your will and Your way for my life.

Again, I put my trust in You.

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

Mark 12:30

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,

and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."

YOU CAN TRUST HIM WITH EVERYTHING!

How much of you does Jesus have?

He wants us to trust Him with everything.

He is the ONLY ONE you can trust with everything.

Notice that this is a commandment and it is expected of every believer.

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus I give you everything right here and right now.

I break the power of every lie I've been told and I put my trust in you.

You are my Lord, my Savior and my King.  Be these things in every area of my life.

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;

and lean not unto thine own understanding."

Trusting in man can let you down, but the Lord Jesus will never let you down.

He told us that He would NEVER leave us nor forsake us!

Run to God FIRST.  Prayer should be our FIRST resort when we have a problem.

You can trust Him and again I say you can trust Him with EVERYTHING!

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus I give you everything again right here and right now.

Though I cannot always feel you and I cannot see you, I know I can put my trust in you.

Jesus you are the Way, the Truth and the Life!

I give you access to me to do with as You will. 

Let Your will be done this day.

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

2 Timothy 1:7

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;

but of love, and of power and of a sound mind."

You Don't Have to Be Afraid!

Remember you are powerful and God enables you to walk in power and in peace.

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves through God's Word that we don't have to be afraid.

When you become anxious or fearful pray, even when it feels like it won't work.

Again, don't let feelings dictate your actions but do all things prayerfully.

Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank you so much that I am strong and not weak because of the power you've given me.

I bind the spirit of fear in Jesus' name because it did not come from God.

I have power over all of the power of the devil.

I speak peace over my life and the lives around me.

I am courageous and I am not afraid.

Jesus I receive your peace and your joy today.

In Jesus' name pray

AMEN!

2 Corinthians 10:4

"For the weapons are our warfare are not carnal,

but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;"

Our weapons are powerful, but you can't touch them like guns and knives.

Our main weapon is the Word of God which is sharper than a double edged sword.

Jesus fought the devil one on one and defeated him using the Word of God.

We are more than conquerors when we know and live the Word of God.

Learn all you can about your spiritual weapons and live an undefeated life!

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus, I thank you so much for saving my soul and for making me complete.

Thank you that I am not powerless, but I am more than a conqueror through Your Word.

Lord, I ask you to teach me more about these spiritual weapons you've given to them that believe.

I ask this in Jesus' name.

Amen!

Romans 12:2 

"And be not conformed to this world:

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,

 that ye may prove what is that good,and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

We are different than the rest of the world.

It is wise to allow the Word of God to renew your mind on a daily basis.

We are not to be like the rest of the world but are set aside for God's use.

The Word of God will keep your mind in the proper order God intended for it to be in.

The Word of God will tell you how to live a good productive life and will lead you to eternal life.

The Word of God cleanses our minds from the pollution of the world and gives us great peace and joy.

Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I thank for Your Word that renews my mind every day.

I ask You to remind me to stay in Your Word, to meditate on Your Word and to live Your Word.

I ask You to strengthen me this day and ask You to order my steps according to your Holy Word.

In Jesus' name I pray.

AMEN!

2 Corinthians 10:5 

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,

and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"

Take Control of Your Thought Life!

We choose what we think about.  It's not up to anyone else.

Our imaginations can give us false information but we can cast them down.

We can reject every thought that doesn't line up with God's Word.

Let's pray: (always pray out loud if you can)

Lord Jesus, I cast down imaginations and every thought that is unclean or untrue in Jesus' name.

I ask you to continue to regulate and continuously renew my mind with Your Word.

I declare a clean and holy mind in me.

I reject every impure thought.

In Jesus' name I pray.

AMEN!
