Proverbial Sunrise!~ Forgiveness ( Brenda Terrell)~

I read a blogpost and love to share it with you...

Forgiveness Brenda Terrell
When a hurtful word is spoken Or an unkind deed is done I always must remember I am not the only one Who has ever been mistreated Stepped upon or pushed aside By thoughtless harmful actions Or selfish hateful pride. The world is full of people Who purposely abuse Who lie and cheat and slander And manipulate and use Anyone and everyone Who might get in their way Of success or fame or power; No price too big to pay.
God's word is clear and simple About what I must do When I have been offended By friend or foe's misuse: "Forgive...and be forgiven" I dare not keep a score-- Seventy times seven Times seven hundred more. When I am unforgiving, The battle I'll not win; For I need my Father's mercy To blot out all my sin. Forgiving is not easy Yet I know it can be done: I look to Christ my Savior, The Holy, Sinless One.
When Jesus died upon the cross His words rang clear and true, "Father, please forgive them, For they know not what they do." As the Precious Lamb of God Christ wants me to see: Forgiving is the power That sets my spirit free! Forgiveness is God's wondrous gift That sets my spirit free!

MY WALK MONDAY ~ BREATH OF GOD~

This post is a re-post from last week and i thought it is good to link-up this with Scrapping Servant for the meme "My Walk Monday"

Sitting here and calming down at the end of the day....
The thought came to me about the BREATH OF GOD......

BREATH gives......
LIFE......I remember the amazing moment i saw my son taking his first breathe......It was a memorable "waterbirth" and so different from his sisters"dry birth" so to speak.....It was so peaceful!
I saw him moving in the water "swimming" towards me and the moment he came above INHALES his first breath......!!

Can i remember the 1st moment i felth the BREATH OF GOD on my life.....?
What happens every moment i ask that in prayer...........
Yes so much happens in that instant moment.........
Just like this butterfly.........FREEDOM starts coming in and the experience of a new found peace ( peace that passes all understanding)
In a way we began to FLY......we began to life just like a new born baby......
To picture GOD'S BREATH like the wind beneath our wings ( is that not a song...??)
Look at how kids grow...the spread there wings more and more.....( God teaches me a lot when i look at my kids...)
Are we spreading our wings as children of God?
Do i feel God's breath under my wings....do i spread them and fly higher and higher ......

WE NEED GODS BREATH....to life not to be spiritually dead!! Really when i feel depleted.......overwhelmed....like my wings are not moving..........the best to do than is to INHALE........THE BREATH OF GOD!

Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

Watchword for the Week
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:8

Numbers 11:4-6,10-16,24-29; Psalm 19:7-14
James 5:13-20; Mark 9:38-50

May the Lord our God incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways.

one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

our brothers and sisters in Christ, may we see your light and your salvation.
Cleanse us from all our sins. Amen.

FEARLESS FRIDAY ~ THE PROMISE IN EVERY PROBLEM ~

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven. Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:18-20

“They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8 NLT

"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT


When You see this button above you know it is FEARLESS FRIDAY!
A day put separate by ANGELA at Free Spirit Haven for bloggers to join together in prayer. Head over to her place to leave in comments your prayer request or when you make a blog with requests.
Overhere you can also put your prayer request or prayer in your comment.

The last weeks i was in my thoughts contemplating about

HEALING
(In a lot of blogs i come across strugglings with sicknesses in spirit -body and mind. My own shoulder concerns....A family member who is batteling cancer and a close friend of us.Acquintances with heart problems and who is also not saved......We live in a fallen world with all kind of problems and struggles with sicknesses is one we have to face and we KNOW we serve a GOD who says HE IS A HEALER ....JEHOVA RAPHA
HE is more than capable our Life is in His hand....

Why i LOVE the bible so much is because it is so full of PROMISES and HOPE....
You can't began to PRAISE when you read and let the words sink in your soul and spirit.....!
And THAT is our POWER/WEAPON to gave the .........( i refuse self to see the name in letters here on my blog can you believe that??!!) NO change at all to have an HOLD on us! He MUST flee..... In any circumstance we will PRAISE The ONE AND ONLY who LIVED......DIED.....and RESURRECT from the dead...
We ourself WILL Live........die to self on this earth and later in body......and we LIVE with this ressurrection SPIRIT in US who is more than CAPABLE to RESTORE........untill we will be whole again when we will be meeting our LORD and SAVIOR...!

A sister in the Lord wrote an devotion to look for
" THE PROMISE IN EVERY PROBLEM"!

I will leave you all with those thoughts of her and be blessed my friends and have a GOD FILLED weekend.

Mary Southerland

Today's Truth
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." Genesis 50:20

Friend to Friend
If you are like me, you prefer days when the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and not a cloud in sight. Problems tend to irritate me because they make me realize just how frail I am as a human. But I have come to realize that every problem points to a promise.

• Promise of direction

God uses problems to show us the way. We would walk through the wrong door if He didn't close it. Years ago, I dated a young man I thought I would marry. We had it all worked out. He was a preacher and I played the piano and sang. What could be more perfect? I began to pray, "Lord, if he is not the one, just close the door!" The very next conversation I had with this young man ended our relationship and resulted in my taking a church staff position that led me to Dan Southerland. I look back and thank God for that closed door.

"Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30

• Promise of correction

God uses problems to correct us. I have come to realize that some lessons can only be learned in the darkness, through pain and failure. When our daughter was a toddler, she was fascinated with electrical outlets. Nothing we said or did seemed to deter her...until the day she stuck a safety pin in the outlet. "Ouch!" she cried, holding up her little red finger for me to kiss. She never played with an outlet again.

"It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws." Psalm 119:71-72

• Promise of protection

A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it keeps you from being hurt by something more serious. It was so hard for me to take our children to the doctor to get immunization shots. I would take a healthy child into the doctor's office and come out with a little one who was fussy, sore and running a low grade temperature. Our pediatrician finally said, "Mary, just think of it like this. You are allowing your babies to experience a little hurt in order to prevent them from experiencing a bigger hurt. A tetanus shot is nothing compared to tetanus itself.

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." Genesis 50:20

• Promise of perfection

Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. I recently spoke for a women's conference that used the theme of "Problems into Pearls". Strands of pearls were everywhere - the center of each table, on the podium from which I spoke, draped across tables - and many of the ladies wore pearls that day. When the worship leader welcomed me, she said, "We have to get you some pearls!" Digging in her purse, she produced the most beautiful pearl necklace and placed it around my neck. As the day went on, I spoke several times, counseled and prayed with numerous women and tried to meet as many women as possible. When everyone had left, the woman came to retrieve her pearl necklace. I was embarrassed. I had worked up quite a sweat with all of that hugging, laughing, talking. She brushed my apology aside and said, "Sweat is good for pearls. It helps them keep their luster."

"We can rejoice when we run into problems... they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady." Romans 5:3-4

God is at work in and around you. You may not see His hand, hear His voice or even understand His process, but you can rest assured that you can trust His heart. Remember, every problem points to a promise.

Let's Pray
Father, thank You for each problem that points me to You. Help me to see trials as handles for Your promises and tools for growth in my life. I choose to accept the lessons You want to teach me in the dark times and celebrate their truth in the light. Give me the strength and power to trust You completely.

In Jesus' name,
Amen

Thankful Thursday ~ SIMPLICITY ~

SIMPLICITY... now there's a word that you don't hear too much anymore these days. Everything that we do seems to cost alot of money, alot of energy and alot of time.

This Laurie our hostess at Woman Taking A Stand wrote as our focuss for this Thankful Thursday, and asks the question Isn't it time we get back to the basics?

I went to look-up, what is said in The Bible about this word?
In the Message version this word is used

Jesus said in Mark 10 vers 14 and in Luke 18: 15
"Don't push these children away. Don't ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in."

and in
1Timothy 6:6
A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough.
I THANK YOU LORD
For the wisdom in your Word!
That YOU LORD are telling me.....wispering to me." I AM your FATHER you ARE MY CHILD!
That i can be as myself that YOU love to see THE CHILD in me.........
THANK YOU LORD JESUS
THANK YOU FATHER
THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT
For EVERYTHING!

GUIDANCE today last week and everyday
LOVE that is not an earthly one but one that isgood for our soul
PATIENCE on the way that you are transforming me to become, who i need to become to Glorify You
RESTORATION
HEALING
and so much more!

Is THANKFULNESS welling up in your heart speak it out to our Lord because He so deserves our praise!
Link-up if you haven't done it yet at Laurie's .
THANK YOU for being such an inspiring host
Next week our new host will be
Lynn at "Spiritually Unequal Marriages"

Have a blessed TT and day in te Lord!

if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:

³ Join me in spreading the news;
together let's get the word out.

To read more about my thoughts about THE BREATHE OF GOD here

BREATHE OF GOD............

Sitting here and calming down at the end of the day....
The thought came to me about the BREATHE OF GOD......

BREATHE gives......
LIFE......I remember the amazing moment i saw my son taking his first breathe......It was a memorable "waterbirth" and so different from his sisters"dry birth" so to speak.....It was so peaceful!

Just like this butterfly.........FREEDOM starts coming in and the experience of a new found peace ( peace that passes all understanding)
In a way we began to FLY......we began to life just like a new born baby......
To picture GOD'S BREATHE like the wind beneath our wings ( is that not a song...??)
Look at how kids grow...the spread there wings more and more.....( God teaches me a lot when i look at my kids...)
Are we spreading our wings as children of God?
Do i feel God's breath under my wings....do i spread them and fly higher and higher ......

WE NEED GODS BREATHE....to life not to be spiritually dead!! Really when i feel depleted.......overwhelmed....like my wings are not moving..........the best to do than is to INHALE........THE BREATHE OF GOD!

Spiritual Sunday ~ I did not know my own strenght...........I look to YOU!! ~

As I lay me down,
heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun.
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

About to lose my breathe,
there's no more fighting left,
Sinking to rise no more,
searching for that open door.

And every road that I've taken
lead to my regret.
And I don't know if I'm going to make it.
Nothing to do but lift my head

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me

The rain is falling.
Defeat is calling.
I need you to set me free.

Take me far away from the battle.
I need you.
Shine on me.

[Refrain]
I look to you.
I look to you.
After all my strength is gone,
in you I can be strong
I look to you.
I look to you.
And when melodies are gone,
in you I hear a song.
I look to you.

I'm rejoicing and praising God today when i followed the interviews and listen to the music of Whitney Housten.
I pray that she will stay and look up to Him from who all helps comes....,who restores...,who gives new changes.....And that she would used the gift He gaves to her to bring Him praise and honour Him with her life.
Be blessed Whitney!

Her biography
Latest interviews in which she tell about her struggles and how she cling to her faith and God!

St Patrick's Breastplate................

Link on the button to find more inspirational songs on this TSMSS

Yesterday i posted the St Patrick's prayer and went to look if there was a song about it!

This hymn is taken from two CDs Songs of the Faithful and Wake Up Call. Angelina travelled to the Hill of Slane in County Meath (Ireland) to film this beautiful song. She also went over to the very famous Grafton Street in Dublin. This video was shot in one day and the director was Manuel DeTeffe of Rome. Arrangement was by Shaun Davey, mechanical and synch license were obtained through HFA. Saint Patrick's Breastplate is an old Irish Christian hymn. It is generally assumed that Saint Patrick wrote the Old Irish lyrics during his Irish ministry in the 5th century. However there is a school of thought that it may have written in the 8th century.It is part of the Liber Hymnorum (Book of Hymns)- a collection of hymns found in two manuscripts kept in Dublin.

Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander translated the hymn from old Irish into English.

WEDNESDAY PRAYER for OUR KIDS!

WEDNESDAY
Thank You, Father, for Your Word, which promises that WHATEVER I ask for in prayer,
believing, it IS granted to me. Therefore, I receive as my PRESENT POSSESSION the things,
which I am praying today over my children, being fully assured that as I am praying YOUR
WORD, I am praying YOUR WILL. (Mark 11:24; I John 5:14-15).

Thank You, Father, that as Your Word goes forth over my children, it is like FIRE consuming
ALL that cannot endure the test in their lives, and like a HAMMER that breaks in pieces the rock
of MOST STUBBORN RESISTANCE. (Jeremiah 23:29).

Thank You, Father, that as Your Word is going forth over my children, it is REVIVING them
and giving them LIFE. (Psalm 119:50).

Father, I declare that my children love Your law. They meditate upon Your Word day and night.
Through Your commandments, You make them to be WISER than their ENEMIES. Your
Words are EVER before them. (Psalm 119:97-98).

Thank You, Father, that You have circumcised my heart and the hearts of my children to LOVE
You with ALL our hearts and minds and with ALL our beings that we may LIVE. (Deuteronomy
30:9).

Father, I declare that I am like a mighty warrior, and my heart rejoices as through wine; yes, my
children see it and REJOICE; their hearts feel great delight and they glory triumphantly in You.
You hiss as the keeper does for his bees and GATHER THEM IN, for You have redeemed them.
(Zechariah 10:7-8).

Father, I declare that we, as parents, tend, nurture, guard, guide and fold our children; NOT BY
COERCION or CONSTRAINT, but WILLINGLY; not dishonorably motivated by the
advantages belonging to our office as parents, but EAGERLY and CHEERFULLY. NOT as
ARROGANT, DICTATORIAL and OVERBEARING persons, domineering over our children,
but being EXAMPLES, PATTERNS and MODELS of Christian living to them. (I Peter 5:2-3).

Thank You, Father, that You are making my family to INCREASE, EXCEL and OVERFLOW in
LOVE for one another and for ALL people. Therefore, You are strengthening, confirming and
establishing our hearts faultlessly pure and unblamable in holiness in Your sight. (I
Thessalonians 3:12-13).

Father, I declare that my children do ALL things without grumbling, faultfinding and
complaining against You. They do NOT question or doubt among themselves. Therefore, they
are showing themselves to be blameless, guileless, innocent and uncontaminated children of God
without blemish, faultless and unrebukable, in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation.
Therefore, I am REJOICING that I have NOT run my RACE in VAIN, and I have NOT spent my
LABOR as a parent to NO PURPOSE. (Philippians 2:15-16).

Father, I declare that my children are Your own handiwork (Your workmanship, recreated in
Christ Jesus, that they may DO those good works which You PREDESTINED and PLANNED
BEFOREHAND for them, taking paths which You prepared AHEAD of TIME that THEY
SHOULD WALK IN THEM, living the good life which You prearranged and made ready for
them to live. (Ephesians 2:10).

Thank You, Father, that Your gifts and callings upon my children's lives are IRREVOCABLE—
without repentance or regret—You NEVER withdraw them once they are given and You do
NOT change Your mind about those to whom You give Your grace or to whom You send Your
call. Because You are imparting this revelation to my children, they are ALL THE MORE
solicitous and eager to MAKE SURE and STRENGTHEN their calling and election. Therefore,
they will NEVER stumble or fall. (Romans 11:29; II Peter 1:10).

Father, I declare that my children offer themselves WILLINGLY in the day of Your power, in the
beauty of HOLINESS and in holy array out of the womb of the morning. They do not merely
walk, but RUN the way of Your commandments, for You have given them a heart that is
WILLING. Because they heed instruction and correction, THEY are not only IN the way of life,
but they ARE a way of life for OTHERS. (Psalm 110:3; Psalm 119:32; Proverbs 10:17).

Father, I declare that my children hunger and thirst after righteousness; and therefore, they are
COMPLETELY SATISFIED. (Matthew 5:6).

Father, I declare that my children earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the gifts of the Holy
Spirit. Their gifts are making room for them and bringing them before great men. They are
stirring up, rekindling the embers, fanning the flames and keeping aglow Your gifts (the inner
fire) that are in them by means of the laying on of hands. Because I am a temple of the Holy
Spirit, I believe that every time my hands touch my children, they are YOUR hands reaching out
to them imparting power, anointing and life into their inner man. (I Corinthians 12:31; Proverbs
18:16; II Timothy 1:6).

Father, I declare that my sons are as plants grown large IN THEIR YOUTH, and my daughters
are as sculptured corner pillars hewn like those of a palace. They are YOUTHS without blemish,
well-favored in appearance and skillful in all wisdom, discernment and understanding, apt in
learning knowledge, and competent to stand before and serve kings. (Psalm 144:12; Daniel 1:4).

Father, I declare that my sons treat older women like mothers and younger women like sisters in
ALL PURITY. My daughters adorn themselves modestly, appropriately and sensibly in seemly
apparel. They do not merely let their adorning be external, but they let it be the inward adorning
and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a
GENTLE and PEACEFUL spirit, which is not anxious or wrought up, but is very precious in
Your sight. (I Timothy 2:9; I Peter 3:3-4; I Timothy 5:2).

Thank You, Father, that Your Spirit is upon my sons and daughters. You have anointed them to
preach the gospel to the poor. You have sent them to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to the captives, and to open prison doors and the eyes of those who are bound; to
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord; to comfort all who mourn; to grant consolation and joy
to those who mourn by giving them an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy for
mourning, and the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened and failing spirit. Therefore, I
declare that they are called OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS—Your planting—that YOU may be
glorified. They are rebuilding the ancient ruins, raising up the former desolations and renewing
the ruined cities and devastations of many generations. They are called the priests of the Lord.
People speak of them as Your ministers. They are eating the wealth of nations. They are
RADIANT with YOUR GLORY. Nations are coming to their light, and kings to the brightness
of their rising. (Isaiah 61:1-4,6; Isaiah 60:1,3).

Father, I declare that like David, my children are serving Your will, purpose and counsel in their
own generation. Like David, my children are men and women after Your own heart, who are
doing ALL Your will and carrying out Your program FULLY. (Acts 13:36; Acts 13:22).

Father, I declare that my children DO NOT unequally yoke themselves up with unbelievers.
They DO NOT make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with those
whose lives are inconsistent with their faith. (II Corinthians 6:14).

Thank You, Father, that You are instructing my children and teaching them in the way that they
should go. You are counseling them with Your eye upon them. You are certainly delivering and
drawing them unto Yourself from EVERY assault of evil. You are preserving and bringing them
SAFE unto Your heavenly kingdom. (Psalm 32:8; II Timothy 4:18).

Father, I declare that my children shall grow old in grace. They shall still bring forth fruit in old
age; they shall be full of sap and spiritual vitality and rich in the verdure of trust, love and
contentment. They will be living memorials to show that You are upright and faithful to Your
promises. (Psalm 92:14-15).

As for me and my house

we will serve the Lord (oh yes)
As for me and my house

We have counted the cost
We have made the choice
We will follow our God
And obey His voice
From this day
For the rest of our lives
We will serve the Lord (2)

We will not bow to another God
We will have no other God’s refuge
We will not serve two masters
We surrender our lives to You
We surrender our lives to You

As for me and my house
we will serve the Lord (oh yes)
As for me and my house

Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do

^{Share my today's readings who went straight to my heart and mind to LISTEN-BELIEVE- FEAR- REPENT and PRAISE GOD !!}

Psalm 107 ^10-16 Some of you were locked in a dark cell, cruelly confined behind bars, Punished for defying God's Word, for turning your back on the High God's counsel— A hard sentence, and your hearts so heavy, and not a soul in sight to help. Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time. He led you out of your dark, dark cell, broke open the jail and led you out. So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves; He shattered the heavy jailhouse doors, he snapped the prison bars like matchsticks!

Hebrews 3

The Centerpiece of All We Believe

^1-6So, my dear Christian friends, companions in following this call to the heights, take a good hard look at Jesus. He's the centerpiece of everything we believe, faithful in everything God gave him to do. Moses was also faithful, but Jesus gets far more honor. A builder is more valuable than a building any day. Every house has a builder, but the Builder behind them all is God. Moses did a good job in God's house, but it was all servant work, getting things ready for what was to come. Christ as Son is in charge of the house.

^6-11Now, if we can only keep a firm grip on this bold confidence, we're the house! That's why the Holy Spirit says,

Today, please listen;
don't turn a deaf ear as in "the bitter uprising,"
that time of wilderness testing!
Even though they watched me at work for forty years,
your ancestors refused to let me do it my way;
over and over they tried my patience.
And I was provoked, oh, so provoked!
I said, "They'll never keep their minds on God;
they refuse to walk down my road."
Exasperated, I vowed,
"They'll never get where they're going, never be able to sit down and rest."

^12-14So watch your step, friends. Make sure there's no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from the living God. For as long as it's still God's Today, keep each other on your toes so sin doesn't slow down your reflexes. If we can only keep our grip on the sure thing we started out with, we're in this with Christ for the long haul.

These words keep ringing in our ears:

Today, please listen;
don't turn a deaf ear as in the bitter uprising.
^15-19For who were the people who turned a deaf ear? Weren't they the very ones Moses led out of Egypt? And who was God provoked with for forty years? Wasn't it those who turned a deaf ear and ended up corpses in the wilderness? And when he swore that they'd never get where they were going, wasn't he talking to the ones who turned a deaf ear? They never got there because they never listened, never believed.

Tuesday, September 15 Psalm 107:10-16 Jeremiah 48:26-49:16; Hebrews 3:1-15 You shall have no other gods besides me. Exodus 20:3 Whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Philippians 3:7-8 Christ Jesus, how can we look at you upon the cross and worship worldly idols? How can we put our own desires ahead of the desires you have for us? How can we live this life with any integrity, knowing what you have done for us, unless we surrender all to you in loving thanks? Reveal these answers to us, we humbly pray. Amen.

TUESDAY PRAYER FOR OUR KIDS!

TUESDAY

Thank You, Father, for the confidence, assurance and privilege of boldness, which I have in You.
I am SURE that if I ask ANYTHING or make ANY request according to Your will (which is
YOUR WORD), You listen to and hear me. And, since I POSITIVELY KNOW that You listen
to me in whatever I ask, (according to YOUR WORD), I also know with SETTLED and
ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE that I have granted to me as my PRESENT POSSESSIONS the
requests made of You regarding my children today. (I John 5:14-15).

Thank You, Father, that You have promised that as I pray Your Word over my children, I shall
see the fruit of the travail of my soul and be satisfied. (Isaiah 53:11).

Thank You, Father, that as YOUR WORD goes forth over my children, they are LETTING it
have its home in their hearts and minds and dwell in them in all its richness, as they teach,
admonish and train one another in all insight, intelligence and wisdom in spiritual things. They
sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to You with Your grace in their hearts.
WHATEVER they do, no matter WHAT it is, in WORD or in DEED, they do EVERYTHING in
the Name of the Lord Jesus and in dependence upon His person, giving You praise through Him.
(Colossians 3:16-17).

Father, I declare that my offspring possesses the nations. They are as mighty arrows in the hand
of a warrior, to launch into the nations to bring in the Kingdom, and to launch into the camp of
the enemy to bring great deliverance and victory for Your people. (Isaiah 54:3; Psalm 127:4).

Thank You, Father, that the only work which You require of me as a parent is to believe in Your
Son, Jesus. Therefore, I claim Your promise that MY WORK SHALL BE REWARDED. By
faith I declare that my children are returning from the enemy's land. There is HOPE in my future.
My children are coming again to their own country. (John 6:28-29; Jeremiah 31:16-17).

Father, I declare that my children HEAR the instruction of their father, and they DO NOT reject
or forsake the teaching of their mother. When they go, the WORD of their parents' God is
leading them. When they sleep, it is keeping them; when they waken, it is talking with them.
(Proverbs 1:8; 6:22).

Father, I declare that we dwell in a peaceable habitation, in a safe dwelling and in a quiet resting
place. (Isaiah 32:18).

Father, I declare that my family lets no foul language, nor evil word, nor unwholesome talk ever
come out of our mouths; but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress
of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace to
those who hear it. We do not grieve the Holy Spirit by Whom we were sealed. We let ALL
bitterness, wrath, passion, rage, bad temper, resentment, anger, animosity, quarreling, brawling,
clamor, contention, slander, evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language be banished from
us, with all malice, spite, ill will or baseness of any kind. And we have become useful, helpful
and kind to one another; tenderhearted, compassionate, understanding, forgiving one another
readily and freely as You in Christ forgave us, in order that Satan get NO advantage over us; for
we are NOT ignorant of his wiles and intentions. (Ephesians 4:29-32; II Corinthians 2:11).

Thank You, Father, that before You formed my children in the womb, You KNEW and
APPROVED of them as Your chosen instruments, and before they were born, You separated and
set them apart, consecrating them, and You appointed them to their specific callings and destinies
in You. You have delivered and saved them, and have called them with a calling in itself holy
and leading to holiness. (Jeremiah 1:5; II Timothy 1:9).

Thank You, Father, that You have given my children the tongues of disciples and of those who
are taught. Therefore, they know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. You
waken them morning by morning. You waken their ears to HEAR as disciples—as those who
are taught. You, Lord, have opened their ears, and they have NOT been REBELLIOUS or
TURNED BACKWARD. (Isaiah 50:4-5).

Thank You, Father, that YOU are effectually at work WITHIN my children ENERGIZING and
CREATING in them both the POWER and the DESIRE to WILL and to WORK for Your good
pleasure, satisfaction and delight. Therefore, they are violently seizing the kingdom of God by
force as a precious prize. They are seeking for a share in Your kingdom with most ardent zeal
and intense exertion. (Philippians 2:13; Matthew 11:12).

Thank You, Father, that Your Spirit rests upon my children; the spirit of WISDOM and
UNDERSTANDING, the spirit of COUNSEL and MIGHT, the spirit of KNOWLEDGE and the
reverential and obedient FEAR OF THE LORD. You are making them of quick understanding,
and their DELIGHT is in the reverential and OBEDIENT FEAR of the Lord. They do NOT
judge by the sight of their eyes, neither do they decide by the hearing of their ears, but they judge
with righteous judgment. (Isaiah 11:2-4).

Father, I declare that my children KNOW You as their God; and therefore, they prove themselves
STRONG and STAND FIRM and DO EXPLOITS for You. (Daniel 11:32).

Father, I declare that in JESUS and in EVERY RESPECT, my children are enriched, in FULL
POWER and READINESS of SPEECH, to speak of their faith, and complete knowledge and
illumination to give them full insight into the meaning of YOUR WORD. Their speech is
ALWAYS gracious, pleasant and winsome, seasoned with salt. They are NEVER at a loss to
know how they ought to answer anyone who puts a question to them. (I Corinthians 1:5;
Colossians 4:6).

Father, I declare that NO ONE despises or thinks less of my children because of their YOUTH;
but IN THEIR YOUTH, they are an EXAMPLE and PATTERN for the believers in SPEECH, in
CONDUCT, in LOVE, in FAITH and in PURITY. They do NOT neglect the gift, which is in
them. (I Timothy 4:12,14).

Father, I declare that my children's LOVE is abounding yet more and more and extending to its
fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight. Their love is displaying itself in greater
depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment; so that they are surely learning to
sense what is VITAL and approve and prize what is EXCELLENT and of REAL VALUE,
recognizing the HIGHEST and the BEST and distinguishing the moral differences. They test and
prove ALL things UNTIL they can recognize what is GOOD, and to THAT they HOLD FAST.
Therefore, they are untainted, pure, unerring and blameless. Their hearts are sincere, certain and
unsullied. They are approaching the Day of Christ, NOT STUMBLING nor causing OTHERS to
STUMBLE. They are ABOUNDING IN and BEING FILLED with the fruits of righteousness.
Your glory is being both manifested and recognized in them.(Philippians 1:9-11; I
Thessalonians 5:21).

Father, I declare that my children keep themselves from idols and false gods—from ANYTHING
and EVERYTHING that would occupy the place in their hearts due to YOU. They keep
themselves from ANY SORT of SUBSTITUTE for You that would take first place in their lives.
(I John 5:21).

Thank You, Father, that You are clearing my children from hidden and unconscious faults. You
are making the words of their mouths and the meditation of their hearts to be acceptable in Your
sight. (Psalm 19:12,14).

Father, I declare that my children are coming out from among unbelievers and separating and
severing themselves from them. They touch not any unclean thing. Therefore, You receive them
kindly and treat them with favor, and You are a Father to them and they are Your sons and
daughters. (II Corinthians 6:17-18).

Thank You, Father, that You are delivering my children from the snare of the fowler, and from
the deadly pestilence. You are covering them with Your pinions, and under Your wings they are
trusting and finding refuge. (Psalm 91:3-4a).

Father, I declare that my children shall NOT DIE, but LIVE, and declare Your works and
illustrious acts. (Psalm 118:17).
