Wow! God has just been so amazing lately... seriously! Like i am having the best time in my life and its all because of my wonderful risen savior. Ahhhhh! I just am so overtaken by him! He is just showing us His glory everywhere we look. I mean seriously just look outside.... His glory is in the sun, trees, sky, flowers, and just everywhere. His glory is also inside of us and it is just so exciting to know that God wants to fill us up with His glory. Ahhhhhh! Like i said.... i am just so overtaken.
This past weekend i was at a missions training weekend because i am going to Africa in June. It was just a wonderful time to listen to God and what he was saying to me. It was also a good time for me to get to know the people i am going with and practicing dramas and stuff like that..... Anyways, i wanted to post a paper we got of some declarations. They are really cool.... and i thought someone might benefit from them so here they are.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I acknowledge that I have been born again. It is my spirit that is born again. In my spirit i have the very nature of Christ. I am in Christ in my spirit. I am one with Him for all eternity. This new birth is a gift. I cannot be earned but it is receied by faith - it is the gift of eternal life - the life of Christ. As i acknowledge my born again nature, i confess all that is true. I have the nature of Christ, I am forgiven, I am holy, I am full of wisdom and righteousness and power etc. I meditaite on and confess all that i am and all that i have in my born again spirit. This is the true ME. My spirit man is to rule over my soul and overy my body. It is not to be subdued but it is to arise and shine and lead my soul and body. I bless my spirit manand set it apart to fulfill my Lord's purposes today.
*I choose to lay down the rule of my soul life. I call my flesh (carnal nature) crucified. I submit my soul to the rule of Christ within my born-again spirit man. I confess that my soul delights in submitting to the rule of Christ. My soul will not make its own decisions nor follow its own inclinations, but rather my soul nature submits to the life of Christ in my inner man.
*I receive forgiveness for any area of my life that has transgressed the will and nature of God. My soul and body receive cleansing through the forgiving blood of Jesus. All my sins are forgiven. They have been removed as far as the east is from the west. Sin does not have dominion over my spirit, soul, or body. I do not serve sin but i serve my God and all that He represents.
*I consecrate my body, soul (including mind, will, emotions, imagination, affection), and spirit to the purposes of God. My entire being submits to the glory of God. I declare that my physical body is a container that reflects heavenly glory. The glory of the Lord shall appear upon me and nations and kings will be drawn to His salvation as a result. My entire being is fully influenced by the glory and presence of God.
*Like Moses, I enter the tent of meeting by faith. I choose to completely focus on the Lord and to allow all the agenda and the busyness of the day to be laid down. I choose with expectancy to meet with the Lord.
*I acknowledge my love and reverence for the Holy Spirit. He is my guide, my teacher, my helper and my comforter. He leads me into truth and prepares me as a bride. He attaches Himself to me as an attendant who brings me to my final destination. He leads me daily into worship of Jesus and into experience of heavenly glory. I daily pray in tongues to build myself up in my spirit man. This fortifies me and enables me to be sensitive to the presence of the Lord and His kingdom. As i pray in tongues I declare the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and proclaim His mighty deeds.
*I make my soul drink daily of heavenly glory. I drink of the truth and allow my soul (mind, will, emotions, imagination, and affection) to receive of all that is in the deep well of my spirit. Through confession of who I am in Christ and what I have been given in the Kingdom, I wash my soul and see it renewed through the word of God. This releases my soul to acknowledge heavenly glory. Daily, I confess the Word of God and allow my soul to drink of the truth.
*I study the Word daily and seek to know God in deeper ways. My soul loves His Word. It is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I do not stumble when i obey His Word. If I abide in Him and His Word abides in me then i will be fruitful and experience answers to prayer.
*I worship Jesus in spirit and in truth. I acknowledge His worth and His value. I proclaim the glorious truth regarding my God and knit my heart together with Him in imtimate love. The highest and holiest respect of my life belongs to Him and to none other. I behold His beautyand glory and exalt Him to the highest place in my life
*I engage in devotional and intercessory prayer while in His presence. I share my heart with the Lord and nake my need known to Him. I also pray for the needs of others as the Holy Spirit directs and believe for the advancement of His kingdom in the earth.
*I wait on Him. I rest. I listen. I watch. What will He speak to me? What will He show me? He will reveal His heavenly glory to me. He will reveal His heart. I believe that He is speaking to me, meeting with me regardless of what i feel or experience in the natural. I believe by faith and recive by faith what He has promised me.
*I wait in expectancy for His to bring fresh revelation and insight. I savor His presence and delight in what He shows me. I record in my journal the treasures that He reveals and I meditate on these things throughout the day
*I respond. I do the things that my Father shows me. Jesus said, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner (John 5:19). I like my Savior, do the things that I see my Father doing. I obey His leading and commit myself to walking thoughtout my dayin heavenly glory.
