You Have a Helper

Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. –John 16:7-11    

My Prayer for Today    

Father, I thank You for giving me the ever-present assistance of the Holy Spirit. With Him as my chief mentor, my success is inevitable. His wisdom has become my wisdom and His strength has become my strength. (Ephesians 1:17-20.) Nothing that I think or do is separate from His influence—it is swayed in the direction of Your will.    

My Confession for Today    

It is to my advantage that Jesus has gone on to heaven to take His place at the right hand of the Father. His going has brought the Holy Spirit—my Comforter, Counselor, and Strength—to me. He is ever with me in close fellowship, revealing to me all that I need to know. (John 16:13.) It’s He who has revealed to me my deliverance from sin and right standing in God’s eyes. (Romans 5:21 NLT.) He gives me a direct revelation of Satan’s defeat and a full understanding of my rights, privileges, and authority in Jesus.    

To Know God Is to Love Him

Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.” –John 8:19    

My Prayer for Today    

Father, the moment I received Jesus as my Savior, You came to dwell within my heart. I am known by You, and as I have read Your Word and spent time with You, I have come to know You and love You. You are my Father forever and no power in the universe can ever separate us. (Romans 8:35, 39.) As Jesus is in You, I am in Him, and we three are one. (John 17:21.) What a wonder! What a joy!

My Confession for Today    

Jesus has brought me into an intimate relationship with Himself. I love Him; He is my Friend, my Lord, my Savior, and my Brother. I both know Him and am known by Him. I know our Father intimately as well. He is my Dad (Abba) and is ever watching over me. (Romans 8:15; Psalm 34:15.) He is my ever-present trainer in the ways of faith. He shows me how to maintain my belief and project it to change my circumstances and live the kind of life that is a reflection of heavenly royalty. (1 Peter 2:9.)  

Rejoice in the Advancement of God’s Kingdom

Help me learn from yesterday, that I may do what I can today to create a better tomorrow.

His love for me endures forever. (Hebrews 13:5.) His grace and mercy have hedged me in so that His power will never be taken from me. (Psalm 139:5.)

God Makes Good on His Word

God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? –Numbers 23:19       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, You make good on Your every promise to me. Your ways are infinitely higher than those of men. (Isaiah 55:9.) Everything You do is filled with honor and integrity, encouragement and blessing, and unconditional love. Make me like You, Father. Mold my life into a mirror reflection of Your character and nature. (2 Corinthians 3:18.) Show me everything I need to know to glorify You in all that I do.    

My Confession for Today    

My Father is not a man that He would lie to me. He does not shrink back from any of His promises. What He has said, He does. What He has spoken comes to pass in my life. He presents to me every good promise of His Word, and gives me assurance that He will bring it to pass. I am a truly blessed man/woman with a destiny that defies the imagination. (1 Corinthians 2:9.)    

God’s Treasure Is Your Inheritance

You Shall Be Satisfied

With Your hand from men, O LORD, from men of the world who have their portion in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, and leave the rest of their possession for their babes. As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness. –Psalm 17:14-15    

My Prayer for Today    

Father, this life is nothing compared to what You have prepared for me in heaven. Yet, everything I do in this life will be felt for eternity. This moment is of utter importance.

The Lord Delivers You from the Wicked

They have closed up their fat hearts; with their mouths they speak proudly. They have now surrounded us in our steps; they have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth, as a lion is eager to tear his prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places. Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword. –Psalm 17:10-13       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, You are the God of my protection. I do not trust in the power of sword or shield, but in the strength of Your might. (2 Chronicles 20:6.)

Keep Away from the Path of the Destroyer

You have tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Do Not War According to the Flesh

Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. –2 Corinthians 10:3-5    

My Prayer for Today

(Deuteronomy 31:6; 1 John 5:4.) Faith can never be divorced from courage. Therefore, I will live my life fearlessly and take my dominion over all that exalts itself against You.

Though I live in the world, I do not wage war as the world does, for the weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but spiritual. I have the very power of Christ to demolish every stronghold that has been raised up against the things of God. I tear down and refute all arguments, theories, reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Your Burden Has Been Removed

    I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of…Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright. –Leviticus 26:12-13
