Colossians 2:15 “When He disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them exhibiting them as captives in His triumphant procession, having triumphed over them through the cross.”

Gracious Lord, here I am ready to celebrate Your victorious resurrection. Forgive me in my daily walk of life when I’ve forgotten Your great victory over satan. My heart overflows with joy that is full of thanksgiving for the love You displayed for me on the cross and then in Your resurrection. I lift up my heart, my very soul and bless You! I give You honor and praise that You paid the price to redeem me from satan’s hand.  

I walk in the truth that as Your cherished child, You, are pleased with me. Your lovingkindness and favor help me share Your beauty with others. It is beyond my comprehension that out of all the people who have walked upon the earth, You know my name. It is such a gift to be known by you and experience Your kindness. (Exodus 33:17-18) As Moses requested, I too ask, “Please show me more of Your glorious presence.” Your beloved Presence is essential for my life and a treasure so valuable to me.  

You are my inexhaustible resource. (Phil. 4:19) I praise You and ask You continually to help me be a beautiful living stone, within the household of faith. Thank you, Lord more than I can say, for cancelling and setting aside all the debt I owed for my sins past, present, and future. (Colossians 2:14) Lord Jesus, You are of such worth to me; again, I say thank you.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen
 
1 Peter 2:5 “you also, as living stones are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”    

Deuteronomy 7:13-15 “And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be male or female barren among you or among your livestock. And the Lord will take away from you all sickness and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known but will lay them on all those who hate you.”

Mighty Heavenly Father, how good and gracious You are to me. Forgive me when I forgot who I am in You and who You are in me. Because of Your great love, Jesus has redeemed me from Satan’s control allowing me to walk in Your victory. By faith I make these decrees:

· You love me and delight to bless me.
· You bless my family and the enemy runs in fear as I praise You.
· You place me in a good land and bless me above the people of the world.
· There is nothing barren and Your promises release Your goodness in my life.
· You cause me to walk in health and the enemy must take back sickness and infirmity now in Jesus’ name. Oppression and addiction leave as my faith releases Your mighty power of deliverance.

I stand boldly before Your throne of grace, receiving Your outpoured Yes and in Him Amen to all my decrees. In Jesus’ name I praise You and give you heartfelt thanks. Amen

Colossians 1:18 “He is the Head of his body, which is the church. And since he is the beginning and the first born heir in resurrection , he is the most exalted One, holding first place in everything.”

Beloved Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name, I ask you to help me turn my eyes and heart continually to You, Lord. Forgive me when I’ve been a man pleaser instead of seeking to please You. Fill up my empty places, my broken places with your lavish love. May I experience a revelation of Your pleasure as I seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then all that I have need of will be provided. (Matt. 6:33)
Teach me gracious Holy Spirit how to hold my Savior as first place in everything. Strengthen me to live my life yielded to Your heart of love and then to live trusting in Your Love for me. Your leadership, Your wisdom, Your guidance, Your ways alone are what I want to be evident and real in me; shining a light on what You can do on behalf of lost and broken people. I thank you for the beautiful changes You are incorporating in every part of my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Matthew 25:6 “Behold, The Bridegroom is coming; go out to meet Him!”

Romans 12:1 " I beseech therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service."

Gracious Heavenly Father, in Jesus' name, I set aside and sow this time to fast and pray. Help me to be faithful to this call by your grace. Without Your empowerment, I cannot do what you've placed on my heart to do. Strengthen me gracious Holy Spirit, from the inside out.

By faith, I place this new year into your hands. Holy Spirit do a work in me, creating in me the beauty of the masterpiece You envision me to be. Remove what is not true and bring clarity to my spirit of who I am in Christ. May I see Your power execute answers to my prayers. I bow before You as You move unwinding, loosening, dissolving and destroying the works of the enemy on my behalf.

As I fast, help me to have a deeper revelation in my heart of who You are, and who I am in You. I want to see You in Your glory. I trust You Lord, to re-calibrate the lenses that I look through. I want to see people, myself, circumstances and events through Your eyes of love and operate in Your wisdom. Your word is what I stand on and I trust You to bring Your word to pass in my life. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen

Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
