Thank you for making me a joint-heir of the riches of heaven with You and Jesus! Thank you that I will one day reign in heaven with Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for living in me to give me the character, power and purposes of Jesus. Give me more! Father, in Jesus Name, I break agreement now with any beliefs about myself I have been believing that contradict what You say about me. I call them lies and I refuse them access to my self-image anymore. Father, in Jesus name, I also renounce and cast away from myself any evil spirits who are trying to deceive me into believing anything about myself
- 12. Holy Confidence Scriptures 2-16-20 that is contrary to who You say I am. I put the blood and cross of Jesus between me and those lying spirits. Father, in Jesus Name, fill me again with Your Holy Spirit. Refresh me and empower me to live like Jesus! Now, let’s ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us. In John 16, The Bible says that God sent His Spirit into us to lead us into all truth, to remind us of the words of Jesus and even to tell us the future. That means the Holy Spirit is the main way God communicates with us. Let’s allow Him to do that now in two ways. First, pair off with someone near you— if you feel comfortable doing that. If not, listen to the Spirit by yourself. Either way is fine. Lord, what do you want me to know about my brother or sister right now? If you are praying by yourself, ask God to give you a word for someone else that is here today. Wait 30 seconds and share what you have heard from the Holy Spirit. Many of you will receive a word of knowledge from the Spirit. If you do not, then just say a short prayer for the other person to know more clearly how God sees them. Lastly, Ask God the Holy Spirit what He wants you to know about yourself. Listen for 30 seconds and then look up. Homework: Take one Bible verse about who you are in God’s sight and say it out loud once a day for the next week. Write it on a piece of paper and carry with you or write it on your bathroom mirror with a marker. Email me or Pastor Chris about how that one-week assignment affects you! May the Holy Spirit speak to all of us this week and help all of us live a life worthy of our calling with holy confidence!
