I thank Him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because He judged me faithful by appointing me to His service, though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted Him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:12-14 NET
God, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for Your everlasting goodness toward each of us. Your Word declares, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are humbled and grateful that we, Your children, are new creations in Christ; old things have passed away, and we have become brand new. We are no longer controlled or manipulated by past sins, failures, and iniquities, but have been made clean by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. By faith we carry within the mind of Christ! We submit our thought life to the Word of God and with Holy Spirit’s teachings and wisdom we will seek to think and reason like Jesus. Oh Holy Spirit, we trust You will guide us through this season and process of sanctification. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we command any and all mind-binding spirits to leave us now. Our hearts are receptive to Your truth, and Lord, it is Your Word that renews our minds. Heavenly Father, thank You that the more we lean into You, the more we are changed into the image and character of Jesus Christ. We declare that the life of almighty God is made manifest in and through us daily. We declare that the peace of God that passes all understanding rules our hearts and minds no matter the daily stresses we encounter. We seek refuge for our weary souls in You. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
