Daily Confessions
Your tongue is a very powerful instrument. It can either call down blessings from heaven or bring curses (failure) into your life. The Bible says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" (Proverbs 18:21).
If there are areas in your life that need changing, your tongue is the best tool to use to bring about that transformation. Make the following confessions daily and the promises of God will manifest in your life. Sexual Abstinence
- My body was not made to participate in any kind of sexual activity outside of marriage; instead, it was made to glorify God (1 Corinthians 6:13-20).
My body belongs to Him because He purchased it with the blood of Jesus. As a result, the Holy Spirit came to live inside of me, and I am now one with God. I will not defile this temple by having sex before marriage.
- I choose not to look at anyone in a lustful way (Matthew 5:28). I know how to abstain from sexual sin and honor God with my body (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4).
- I purpose not to damage my soul (my mind, will and emotions) by participating in sex outside of marriage (Proverbs 6:32). Neither do I go to places or associate with people who tempt me to have premarital sex (Proverbs 7:7-8).
- I allow the wisdom and knowledge of God to control my thoughts so I can avoid the immoral people who try to seduce me (Proverbs 2:10,16).
- I guard my heart and mind by meditating on God's Word daily. I will not allow any immoral thoughts to stay in my mind. Instead, I cast down every thought that is contrary to God's Word by speaking the Word over my life. I do not look to the right or to the left, but straight ahead to the Word of God (Proverbs 4:23-27; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
- I will not allow past sins to hinder me from inheriting the blessings of God (Romans 4:7; 1 John 1:9; Acts 26:18; Colossians 1:12-14; Ephesians 1:6-7).
The Fear of the Lord
Walking in the fear of the Lord is a requirement from God. To fear God is to respect Him and His Word enough to have the audacity to obey Him. Fearing God will restrain you from sin and keep you in God’s protection and provision. Make these confessions to build your faith and walk in the fear of the Lord.
Heavenly Father, I declare that I walk in the fear of the Lord. I respect and honor You, Lord and I obey your Word because I fear You. I acknowledge all that You have done, are doing and continue to do in my life and I praise You for who You are. I make up my mind not to disobey You and Your commandments. I obey You because I love You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I know that in respecting You, I will avoid life’s pitfalls and I cannot be visited with actual evil. Because I fear You, I turn away from sin and the works of the flesh. I attain wisdom and knowledge by fearing and respecting You. I will demonstrate my respect for You through my actions, and by restraining myself from sin. In Jesus’ name, amen. Abiding in God Through Fellowship
Abiding, or resting in confidence in God, involves fellowshipping with Him through prayer and reading His Word. This helps to build your faith in His ability to do great things in your life. The Father loves to hear your voice speaking His Word in full assurance that His promises will come to pass.
In the name of Jesus, I declare that God is my Father and I have a right to fellowship with Him intimately. Fellowship with Him is the distinguishing mark of my life. His Word strengthens and leads me to prosperity.
I abide, rest in and trust the promises outlined in God's Word, and He manifests His goodness in my life. I am connected to my Father's power and I can do all things through the Anointed One and His Anointing Who strengthens me! |
