Declaring a Powerful 2009

Happy New Year! I hope your holiday season was filled with much joy and love. We had an enjoyable time visiting both sides of the family, although traveling with two small children was a constant challenge. It's good to be home...

Uncle Charles, Aunt Haley, and Cousin Allison

As we begin 2009, many people have made resolutions for change or growth. Along with setting goals, I am learning the importance of declaring truth and blessing over our lives. Take a moment to read the excerpt below from Ignited Hope Ministries. May this be a year of supernatural growth in your relationship with God!

These ten basic declarations (confessions) are foundational to the building of our faith. They will increase your expectancy of God's goodness; and, thus, will increase the manifestation of that goodness in your life. Jesus said, "According to your faith, so be it" (Matthew 8:13). Say these every day for a month and see what happens to your life. It will be exciting!

1. My prayers are powerful and effective (2 Cor 5:21; James 5:16b).
2. God richly supplies all my financial needs (Phil 4:19).
3. I am dead to sin and alive to obeying God (Romans 6:11).
4. I walk in ever-increasing health (Isaiah 53:3-5).
5. I live under a supernatural protection (Ps 91).
6. I prosper in all my relationships (Luke 2:52)
7. I consistently bring God encounters to other people (Mark 16:17,18)
8. Through Jesus I am 100% loved
and worthy to receive all of God's blessings (Gal 3:1-5).
9. Each of my family members is wonderfully blessed
and radically loves Jesus (Acts 16:30.31)
10.I uproariously laugh when I hear a lie from the devil (Psalms 2:2-4).

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21
