A Prayer of Confession, Thanksgiving & Dedication
Father God, I thank you for making me the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21). I thank You that thru the cross & by the blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son, I am redeemed from all my sins (John 1:29), from every curse of the law (Gal 3:13-14), so that the blessings of Abraham in Genesis 12:2-3 can come upon me. So that I can also received all the blessings mentioned in Deuteronomy 28:1-14. Thank You for redeeming me from poverty (2Cor 8:9), from sickness & from all oppressions & depressions (Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 8:17). Thank You for disarming the principalities and all demonic power (Col2:15), they now have no authority to use their power against me. Thank You for making me a new creation in my spirit (2Cor 5:17) and sealed me with the Holy Spirit (Eph 1:13), so that I can be led Your Word & also by Your Holy Spirit all the days of my life (John 14:26, Romans 8:14). Thank You for Your abundance of grace & gift of righteousness so that I can reign in life thru Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17), and also I can come boldly to Your throne of grace to obtain mercy & grace to help in time of need (Hebrew 4:16).
Most of all , thank You for Your great love You have for me, that You would humbled Yourself, stripped off Your divinity, became the Son of man, to come into this world for me. That You would suffered your own creation (Roman soldiers & Pharisees) mocking You, despising You, spat on You – You not only suffered physical stripes wound, You also suffer emotional wounds. And now Lord Jesus Your Spirit living inside me has restored my soul (Psalms 23:3) giving me inner healing, by Your agape perfect love.
Father God, I declare that true humility is believing & agreeing with what You said about me. This means everything I knew that disagree with Your Words are lies. So I humble myself before You & declare , I know nothing by myself. But in Christ I know all things through Your Spirit living in me, who leads & teach me all things (John 14:26). By myself, I can do nothing except things that might bring reproach later. But in Christ, I can do all things (Philippians 4:13) that bring glory to You & thanksgiving from others to You. In myself, I am poor, but in Christ I have every need met by Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). In summary, I thank You that You are giving me unmerited favor in every area of my life; because You are a good, merciful & generous Father God.
Father God, I must never forget that the spiritual realm is permanent, while the physical natural realm is temporary & changeable (2Cor 4:18). But You & You alone reign supreme in both spiritual & physical realm. I must remember that every problem in this physical realm is not a wrestle against flesh and blood, but against a defeated invisible spiritual force living in the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, thank You for seated me with Christ Jesus, far above every principalities, power and dominion, to rule & reign in life with Christ Jesus (Eph 2:6) in the spiritual realm. Thank You for making me a priest & a king (Rev 1:5-6), while Jesus is my High Priest & my King of kings. Therefore I shall reinforced Christ’s victory by using the armor of God (Eph 6:13-18) over the defeated enemy. That defeated enemy had been stripped of every power (Colossians 2:15), and his only weapon is to sow fear & unbelief into our mind to destroy our faith in Your Word. But I will uphold my faith in Your Word because faith in Your Word is the victory that overcomes the world (1John 5:4). Just as Jesus rebuked the devil in the wilderness when He was tempted by the devil, I shall use Your Words to rebuke the devil each time he sow fear & unbelief into my mind to rob my faith in Your Word.
Father God, I shall never never blame You for any problems because it is unbelief against Your blood covenant thru Christ Jesus; murmuring also will open doors to the devil to wreck evil in my lives. But rejoicing in prayers is exercising faith; which will expedite the release of “every” spiritual blessings from You.
Since I am part of the body of Christ, I shall exercise spiritual authority over every negative circumstances by using the keys of Your heavenly kingdom; binding & loosing (Matthew 18:18) & speaking to my mountain (Mark 11:22-24). Thank You Jesus, for decreeing that I have spiritual authority over the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19); nothing shall harm me, and all spirits are subjected to me (Luke 10:20). Thank You for writing my name in Your book of life & therefore I shall have no fear staying in this temporary physical realm. Thank You Jesus, that You promised that whatever I asked in Your Name, You will do it, so that our Father God may be glorified in You, the Son (John 14:13-14). With this promise, I shall be more than conquerors & be the head & not the tail (Deu 28:13).
I shall also pray in tongues daily to build my most holy faith in You (Jude 20). When I spend time regularly with You praying in the Spirit or tongues & reading Your holy Word, the presence of King Jesus shall surely be upon me everywhere I go. With Your presence, I shall speak the Name of Jesus & every mountain shall be removed indeed.
Father God, thank You for Your grace, so that I am saved thru faith in Your living Word (Eph 2:8). Because I am saved, me & my household will be saved (Acts 16:31). And thank You for blessing me with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus (Eph 1:3). That “every” blessings include my children shall be taught of the Lord (Isaiah 54:13). That “every” blessing includes a happy marriage because I obeyed Your commandment to honor & love my spouse with God’s kind of love. In my marriage, I purpose in my heart to be a giver of God’s kind of love without any obligations to receive in kind. I shall have a happy marriage because I put You as the Lord of my marriage & obey Your Words in my marriage.
That “every” spiritual blessings include financial blessings & healings. That “every” spiritual blessings is already given & is a done deal. I will receive the blessings, by willing to trust & wait upon You. While waiting, I will Keep believing and confessing Your truth over my lives & my family; by calling those things be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). Father God, You demonstrate this principle upon Abraham for me to follow & I must also practice the same. You called Abram as Abraham (father of many nations) while he was old & childless, to manifest those blessings that You have already given him from the spiritual realm, into the physical realm. So I shall also call myself and my family what Your Word called me to be.
Please open the eyes of my heart to receive revelations in the knowledge of Jesus. Also give me understanding what is the immeasurable greatness of Your power when You raised Jesus from the dead. That same power now dwells in me (Eph 1:17-21). Therefore, I purpose in my heart to be fully yielded to the same power, who is Your Holy Spirit, dwelling within my spirit man. I ask that Your Holy Spirit manifest thru me Your power in the form of the 9 supernatural gifts mentioned in 1st Cor 12:8-10, gifts of healing, gift of working of miracles, gift of special faith, discerning of spirits, gift of prophecy, divers kind of tongues, interpretation of tongues, word of wisdom, word of knowledge. Let Your gifts manifest thru me to edify the body of Christ, as well as to destroy the yoke of the devil – and so that Your Word shall be confirm with signs and wonders.
I also ask that You guide me to the calling or ministry that You have set for me even before I was born (Ephesians 4:7-8); in order that I can live in Your perfect Will & not Your permissive will. Your calling is that I should first become minister of reconciliation – reconciling the lost to You, the Father of all spirits. Your calling is also that I should obediently serve You within the body of Christ (Romans 12:11), so that together in unity, the body of Christ can expand Your kingdom, by saving lost souls from hell & making disciples of all men. And I shall do this thru Your ministry gifts and through Your serving grace (Romans 12:6), as well as Your authority (Luke 10:19), given to the body of Christ; the authority which is vested in the Name of Jesus, who is our head, the head of the Church, our king of kings, lord of lords.
Father God, You said I am a 3 part being, spirit, soul and body (1st Thessalonians 5:23). Your Word say I should discipline my body, my flesh to keep it under control (1st Cor 9:27). For my flesh desires to yield to the world, thru lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (assurance in own resources and possessions -1John 2:16, amplified). You also said I should not conformed to this world, but be transformed thru renewal of my mind (Romans 12:2) by hiding Your living Word within my heart. Therefore I shall hungrily read Your Bible daily & I ask that You will speak thru Your Word to my spirit man by Your Holy Spirit dwelling within me. Let Your living Word nourish my spirit man, as I meditate upon them daily. I shall also pray daily in the Spirit, and as I pray, let the faith You have deposited within my spirit grow in leaps and bound (Jude 20); so that my spirit man will grow from a spiritual baby to spiritual maturity.
Father God, Your Words are like seeds. I shall plant Your seeds into my heart (spirit) daily & be careful to guard my eyes & ears to disallow weeds from the devil, to come inside my heart to choke the seeds from bearing fruits (Mark chapter 4). Fruits that will bring glory to You & thanksgiving from others to You.
Father God, I thank You for recreating my born again spirit, a new creation, made in the image of Jesus Christ, with all His righteousness within me (Eph 4:24). Thank You for depositing in my spirit, the fruits of Your Holy Spirit, namely love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness (Humility, meekness) and self-control (Temperance) (Gal5:22-23). Father God, I ask for more grace & strength to develop and grow in these fruits so that I could be the salt & light of this world; in order that others will see that Christ truly lives in me & glorify You (Matthew 5:13-14).
Lord Jesus Christ, I purposed in my heart to seek Your kingdom first & all Your righteousness. I also believed fully when You said “7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:7) Therefore I obeyed every spoken Words from You, and I shall be like a house built on a rock, unshaken by rain & flood (Matthew 7:24-25) – I shall have the abundant life as You promised in John 10:10.
Lord Jesus, I purposed in my heart to obey Your great commission, because it is Your heartbeat to stop lost souls entering hell (2Peter 3:9). I will apportion my time for expanding Your kingdom by preaching the true gospel of Your Kingdom is near, healing the sick thru laying of hands, & I shall see Your Word confirmed with signs and wonders (Mark 16:15-20).
Father God, thank You for loving me with an everlasting love. Because You first loved me, now I can love You with all my heart as well as loving others. Please continue to deposit serving grace (Heb 12:28) & standing grace (Romans 5:2) into my life, so that I can continue to serve You lovingly as sons & daughters in Your house all the days of my life (Romans 12:11). All these I asked and give advance thanks in Jesus’ most holy Name. Amen. Amen.
