Hebrews 10:19,20 - "Having, therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of the Lamb, by a new and living way, which He has set apart for us, through the veil that is His flesh."
The secret is out. The Lord wants relationship with us so badly, He would die just to be with us. In fact, He did. The cross made a way for us to enter into His chambers.
Mark 15:37,38 - "And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed out His life. And the curtain of the temple was torn in
2 Corinthians 5:17 - "If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
Everything, even our intelligence, and physical appearance is now subject to change for the better. Old failures, prejudices, and attitudes are destined to go.
New faith and hope should be growing within us daily.
HOW DO I ATTAIN SUCH A WONDERFUL NEW BEGINNING?
AFFIRMATIONS:
I receive the spirit of Christ into my heart to empower me wit
Do you want to know, hear, see, and be like Jesus?
Embrace His work in you so that He can work through you mightily.
Embrace the ministry of the Holy Spirit and allow the sevenfold flow of the Holy Spirit to manifest in your life (Revelation 4:5).
As we understand our divine union with Him and become obedient to His voice, we can engage face to Face, spirit to Spirit, and unite our hearts to His. When we plug into the center pipe of the heavenly menorah, we receive the fr
Genesis 3:1 - "Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he (Satan) said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from every tree of the garden'"?
OBSERVATION:
It is my responsibility to see that my thinking, believing and speaking are right. If I don't take that responsibility, the devil is going to think my thoughts for me. He'll actually have me believing what he wants m
Acts 14:3 - "Therefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who was bearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders done by their hands."
There has to be a demonstration of this King we serve. The evidence of His resurrection is in the power of your words and the power of the actions that follow your words.
Throughout the book of Acts it says, "They spoke boldly and God confirmed the situation and confirmed the Word." That boldness actually dra
I lift my head up to behold the King of Glory who delivers me. (Psalm 24:8)
I wait on the Lord and lift up my soul to receive His compassion and lovingkindness. (Psalm 25:1,3,6)
Teach me your paths, O Lord, and instruct me in your purpose for my life. (Psalm 25:4,12)
My eyes are continually toward Jesus, as I let integrity and uprightness preserve me, He guards my soul and delivers me. (Psalm 25:15,20,21)
O Lord, I love to dwell in the glory of your presence and dec
"The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 8:14 TPT)
When we allow the Holy Spirit to lead our lives, He will always take us to places that require greater risk and faith.
Romans 8:5 (TPT) says, "Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities."
When we press past our fears and insecurities, we'll experience an
Luke 10:41,42 - And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
Mary sat at the feet of Jesus until she knew her destiny.
Once she knew the purpose of her life, then she could go do the dishes with Martha, or anything else that needed to be done. She did not neglect the task.
Through INTIMACY, Mary simply gained what she needed for her
Romans 10:9 - "If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Confession without any faith in the heart is powerless; it's useless.
What if I don't believe in my heart? Should I still confess the Word of God?
Yes, because with my lips, I can make confessions unto faith. In other words, as I say God's word over and over again, faith can be built in my heart where before there wasn't any faith.
I
I am joyful with gladness in Your presence and will sing and praise Your power. (Psalm 21:6,13)
Be exalted, O Lord, In Your strength, and in your salvation how greatly I rejoice! (Psalm 21:1,13)
I will not be shaken because I trust in the lovingkindness of the Lord and his willingness to bless me. (Psalm 21:6,7)
The Lord rescues me, delivers me, and delights in me because I am committed to Him. (Psalm 22:8)
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. (Psalm 23:1)
Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV), "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
The Lord is inviting you to rise up in faith and see the path before you with faith-filled eyes. The Lord is taking you to a higher level of trust in Him, knowing He is ordering your steps. He is calling you to rest in who He is and to trust in His faithfulness. He is calling you to have faith to believe what He h
Psalm 78: 9-11 - "The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows, yet they turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in His law; they forgot His deeds and His miracles that He had shown them."
The apostle John wrote, "They overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death" (Rev. 12:11).
The elements of victory are recounted to us in this
He was the Rock of Ages before any mountain peaks were formed.
He was the Bread of Life before there was any grain. He was the Lily of the Valley before there were any flowers on the earth.
He is the Eternal Intercessor. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, higher than the Heavens; He makes His enemies His footstool and laughs at His adversaries.
He is the Tree of Life; He is consecrated forever and makes me sanctified forever by His precious Blood.
It is easy to go to sleep reviewing negative ideas and pictures in our mind and wake up in the morning with a poisoned and negative spirit instead of falling asleep loving and receiving from Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
CONTINUOUSLY DECLARE GOD'S WORDS
We declare truth over any negative circumstance in our lives and we see Jesus present in inner healing scenes. And since we do this continuously, this becomes ALL that we see.
We do not see sickness.
We do not see lack.
Exodus 19:14 - "You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself."
In facing their threshold or brink, marching through the "GATES" out of captivity in Egypt, Israel has to make a leap of faith. If they took the leap of faith, would God come and bear them up on eagle's wings? God comes through for Israel and opens up the Red Sea. He swoops down and picks them up, carrying them on His wings. However, they had to leap first. Had t
Be aware that the enemy would come with distraction after distraction only to rob you, and deposit within you despondency and numbness putting you in a sense of shock and longing -- not know which way to go -- to the left or to the right.
In times of trouble, call in His presence, for where you are His presence is. Do you not understand 'The Hope of Glory' that is within you? Do not look to the exterior. Do not look outward. Don't look around. Look in. Let His presence, let His strength,
If you already know the Lord as your Redeemer, take to remember how the Lord redeemed you out of slavery (Deut. 15:15). How is The Lord calling you to rise this season? Ask Him to blow His breath of new life into those fallow areas of your heart. Are you praising Him in this season of singing (Song of Songs 2:12)? May you move forward stepping with your right foot of faith and believe Him for more revelation of His calling on your life.
We cannot be in Christ and be a failu
I love you, Lord God, and you make me strong. (Psalm 18:1)
Jesus is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. (Psalm 18:2)
I call upon you Lord Jesus, You are worthy to be praised, you are my salvation. (Psalm 18:3)
He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. (Psalm 18:16)
He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he del
The Lord calls His vessels, those that are even empty; He calls them to come and drink of His Spirit, to come to be filled fresh, strong.
His wind will blow away the staleness, the familiar, the comfortable, but it will blow in a NEW THING:
You will know it by His peace that will be in the midst of it.
You will know it by the instructions of truth from His Word that will establish it.
You will know it by the presence of His Spirit that will hover and instill it – write it on you
Exodus 14:16 - "But lift up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."
God generally doesn't call us to do things we can accomplish in our own ability. He calls us to achieve the unachievable and accomplish the impossible.
Mark 4:3,8 - "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow his seed. Still, other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty
In Jesus, I take refuge and behold His face. (Psalm 11:1,7)
The Word of the Lord is as pure as silver tried in a furnace seven times. (Psalm 12:6)
I trust in your loving kindness, my heart rejoices in your salvation. (Psalm 13:5)
I sing to the Lord because He has dealt bountifully with me. (Psalm 13:7)
I dwell on Your holy hill, Lord Jesus, and abide in Your tent, since You are my righteousness and I carry Your Word in my heart. (Pslam15:1,2)

"that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love, - Ephesians 3:16,17
As believers we are rooted and grounded in His magnificent love (Ephesians 3:17). We have courage, the depth of which is confidence in the Lord. Today we declare that we will "Trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not unto our own understanding
He is my Victor, the Captain of Hosts, Mighty in battle. He is my Banner, and He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus is crowned with glory and honor; He is my Savior, Sanctifier, Redeemer, and the merciful and faithful High Priest.
He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He was dead, but now He is ALIVE forevermore, and He is seated at the right hand of God -- it is finished!
He destroyed death and He led captivity captive.
He is the Great Apos
Habakkuk 2:1-2: "I will stand on my guard post and station myself on the rampart, and I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me...Then the Lord answered me and said, 'Record the vision...'"
Ways to be sure what you're hearing is from Him:
TEST THE ORIGIN (1 John 4:1)
Thoughts from our own minds are progressive, with one thought leading to the next. Thoughts from the Holy Spirit are spontaneous. The Hebrew word for true prophecy is "naba", which literally means to bubble up
Many Christians muddy along, hoping for nothing loftier than a short reprieve from sin and self-condemnation. Should the lowliness of our limited expectation have veto power over the enormity of God's promises?
May it never be!
For Scripture assures us that OUR CALLING to God's PURPOSE for our life, even as lowly as we feel sometimes, is an upward climb that relies upon faith in God's abilities and Christ's redemption.
"Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead
