Speak Life Into February!

Declaring God's truth earlier in my day has had several positive effects on my days. Firstly, the Holy Spirit brings back to my mind, specific verses that pertain to my struggle during the day, and I am instantly empowered to get through it. Secondly, say I was offended by a friend earlier, and thought I got over it, a few hours later the Holy Spirit will remind me of the verse about forgiving others as I am forgiven of God. Such reminders have happened consistently, and it keeps me very accountable to God, and aligning with His Word on a continuous bases. After all, we are called to be not only hearers of His Word but DOERS! So join in- declare His truth consistently, walk in obedience to the and watch the transformation that will follow!

Below are the declarations for February 2011- Feel free to re-phrase these prayers, print, use & share with others!
  • Father, In accordance with your Word in Isaiah 26:3, today I will keep my eyes, heart and thoughts focused on you in ultimate trust; because only then can I experience your perfect peace.
  • Father, I commit all the work I will do today to you, believing that you will order my steps according to your Word(Proverbs 16:3, Psalm 37:23a).
  • Father, remind me of your truth in Proverbs 18:21, that life and death are in the power of the tongue; and so help me to caution my speech, so it can be for the building up of others(Ephesians 4:29b).
  • Father, remind me through the day- regardless of the circumstances I encounter, that anger and worry are not of you(Psalm 37:8).
  • Father, like you told Joshua multiple times, please remind me at any lonely point of the day, to stay strong and be of good courage because you are with me and will never leave or forsake me(Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:9).
  • Father remind me today to be diligent at work; because the Psalmist reminds us in Proverbs 10:4, that slack & lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
  • Father, help me to make the best use of my time and the opportunities you bring my way today(Ephesians 5:16).
  • Father, help me today according to your Word to be kind & compassionate to everyone that comes my way and to be forgiving of all that offend me- just as Christ forgave me(Ephesians 4:31).
  • Father, please show me, the many ways I can love you with all my heart, mind and strength. Also open my eyes to see how I can love others, as myself according to your command in Luke 10:27.
