SPIRITUAL/RELIGION DECLARATIONS
Dear Friends;
Where are your steps leading you? What are you saying? Who are you embracing?
God has made each of us unique. We each have incredible gifts and there is no need to want what someone else has. Develop and activate what he has placed within you and share it with everyone you can. Believe, Trust, Encourage and speak life to yourself and others.
1. I walk in the gifts God has placed in me.
Scripture: Romans 12:6-8 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
2. I call things that be not as though they are and stop calling things that are as if they are always going to be the same or get worse.
Scripture: James 1:6-8 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That person should not expect to receive anything from the LORD. 8Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
3. God is life giving. So no matter how many tired and dry things in my life, God is bringing life to them.
Scripture: Ezekiel 37:5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones; I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
4. I am dead to sin and alive to righteousness.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:9 The power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life – not because of anything we have done, but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.
5. I walk in the fruit of the Spirit.
Scripture: Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
6. I don’t (only) go to church to get a blessing, I go to church to be a blessing.
Scripture: James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
