Daniel Webster (1782-1852), a great character in American history, wrote, ““If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendency. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.”

We live in a day when the truth has never been more desperately needed, not just philosophically, but in our hearts and lives. A deep and practical incorporation of God’s truth requires intentionality, rhythm and authority. These proclamations were written simply to diffuse lies and establish His truth rightfully within our lives, families and communities.

This could be the most important tool you receive this year. Print it, read it out loud weekly, and let me know what happens. 🙂

  1. My entire family will be saved.
    • “They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and your household.’” (Acts 16:31). Every prodigal will return, the backslidden will repent, and the lost will be found! “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord!” (Joshua 24:15).
  2. I will walk in the spirit of wisdom and discernment.
    • “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7) and “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” (James 1:5).
  3. I am Your beloved child and conqueror, and nothing can separate me from Your love.
    • “Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? … No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:33-37).
  4. I am the head and not the tail.
    • “The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. “ (Deut. 28:13).
  5. Whatever I commit to the Lord will prosper.
    • “Commit to the Lord everything you do.  Then he will make your plans succeed.” (Prov. 16:3).
  6. I break every single curse of witchcraft, vex, hex, voodo, magic, confusion and any other demonic stronghold or interference, in Jesus’ mighty name.
    • “Our fight is not against human beings. It is against the rulers, the authorities and the powers of this dark world. It is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly world. So put on all of God’s armor. Evil days will come. But you will be able to stand up to anything. And after you have done everything you can, you will still be standing.” (Ephesians 6:13,14).
  7. I will be a soul-winner. I am passionate about the lost, and my heart breaks for those who are separated from God.
    • “At that time Michael will appear. He is the great prince of the angels. He guards your people. There will be a time of terrible suffering. Things will be worse than at any time since nations began. But at that time of suffering your people will be saved. Their names are written in the book of life. Many people who lie dead in their graves will wake up. Some will rise up to life that will never end. Others will rise up to shame that will never end. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who lead many others to do what is right will be like the stars forever and ever.” (Daniel 12:1-3).
  8. The gift of prayer and intercession will be deep and strong in my life.
    • “When you pray, do not keep talking on and on. That is what ungodly people do. They think they will be heard because they talk a lot. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need even before you ask him.“This is how you should pray. “ ‘Our Father in heaven,may your name be honored.May your kingdom come.May what you want to happen be doneon earth as it is done in heaven.’” (Matthew 6:7-10).
  9. I chose to forgive every offense and to forgive myself because He has forgiven me.
    • “Forgive other people when they sin against you. If you do, your Father, who is in heaven, will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive the sins of other people, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14,15).
  10. I look to You, Lord, to meet my needs. I don’t rely on my own strength; You are my provider.
    •  “I tell you, do not worry. Don’t worry about your life and what you will eat or drink. And don’t worry about your body and what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than eating? Aren’t there more important things for the body than clothes? Look at the birds of the air. They don’t plant or gather crops. They don’t put away crops in storerooms. But your Father who is in heaven feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than they are? Can you add even one hour to your life by worrying?” ( Matthew 6: 25-27).
  11. I can be, and I am generous because You are a generous God.
    • “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.” (John 3:16).
  12. I walk in the fear of the Lord, and I fear (respect, highly regard) You more than man. You, Lord, are my first priority.
    • “Jesus answered, ‘Here is the most important one. Moses said, ‘Israel, listen to me. The Lord is our God. The Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind and with all your strength.’ (Deut. 6:4,5 & Mark 12:29,30).
  13. I am a man/woman of peace. I seek peace, unity, and reconciliation wherever I go.  But I don’t love peace more than I love you, Lord.
    • “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27).
  14. Every single one of my gifts will be activated, mature, and effective in Jesus’ name.
    • “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” (I Corinthians 12:7).
  15. I reject all accusing thoughts against my brothers and sisters in Christ and against myself.
    • “And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” (Rev. 12:10-11).
  16. All sickness, infirmity, and disease will be far away from me and my family.
    • “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
      Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases…” (Psalm 103:1-3).
  17. I open myself to the creative works of God in my life. He holds creative solutions for this world. You are the Creator of the Universe, and I was created in Your image.
    • “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph. 2:10).
  18. I can hear the voice of the Lord as I wait upon him.
    • “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27).
  19. I can come boldly into the Lord’s presence because He loves me. I can confess my sins openly to Him without fear of rejection.
    • “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16).
  20. I choose to see others, myself, and the situations around me through His eyes and perspective. In Jesus’ name, I reject negative thoughts.
    • “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8).
  21. Jesus is my first love. My love for Him influences my priorities.
    • “You have persevered and endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.” (Revelation 2: 3,4).
  22. I am a valuable member of the church, the Body of Christ, and Jesus is  the head. I (we) submit to him and we are His hands and feet.
    • “There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ. 13 We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body.” (1 Corinthians 12:12,13a).
  23. I walk in humility and reject all prideful attitudes that pop up.
    • “But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” (James 4:6 & Proverbs 3:34).
  24. My heart breaks for the lost, and I am brave to proclaim what You have done for me, Lord.
    • “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20).
  25. Miracles are at work around me, in me, and through me because I worship a miracle-working God who never changes.
    • “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21).

Happy New Year to my readers!
