O God, you are my life. You have
breathed into me the breath of life, and I have
become a living being (Gen 2:7). My very existence
and my being flow from You. In You I live and move
and have my being (Acts 17:28). You are the Vine,
and I am a true branch of Yours (John 15:5). Father,
you have made me alive with Christ (Eph 2:4-5).
Jesus has become my second Adam, a life-giving
spirit (1 Cor 15:45). He came that I might have
life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). I have
Jesus Christ, and I have his life (1 John 5:12).
Christ is now my life (Col 3:4).
Dear Father, restore this frail branch in full union
with the trunk. Restore my full union with Christ
and with You. I return myself to You – my body,
soul, and spirit. I return myself fully to the
Source of Life. May I be one with You even as Jesus
was one with You (John 10:30, 17:21). Let Your life
flow through me and flow and flow throughout this
day. O Life, live into me. Encompass me and all that
I am; well up within me. O Spring of Life, let Your
river flow through my heart, soul, mind, and
strength (John 7:38). You are the God who gives life
to the dead(Rom 4:17). And if the Spirit of him who
raised Jesus from the dead is living in me (and You
are living in me), he who raised Jesus from the dead
will also give life to my mortal body through his
Spirit, who lives in me (Rom 8:11). O God, fill me
with the resurrection power of Jesus Christ in my
body, soul, and spirit.
For it is Christ in me that is my hope of glory (Col
1:27). It is the triumphant life of Jesus Christ
that has become my life. I live by Him. I reign in
life through Him, by the life of Christ in me. For
if, when I was Your enemy, I was reconciled to You
through the death of Your Son, how much more, having
been reconciled, shall I be saved through His life
(Rom 5:10). I announce that the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of
sin and death (Rom 8:2).
I now claim the resurrection triumph of Jesus Christ
against all forms of death and destruction come
against me. By Jesus Christ and his great work I cut
off every attempt of my enemies to steal, kill, or
destroy my life. As Jesus said, no one takes my life
from me (John 10:18). Death has no mastery over
Jesus now (Rom 6:9), and death has no mastery over
me, for I am united with Christ, one Spirit with him
(1 Cor 6:17). I am in Christ (1 Cor 1:30). And
Christ is in me (Col 1:27). I claim the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus now, against every
black law of sin and death and every foul power of
destruction aimed against me. By the authority of
Jesus Christ I bind and banish all forms of bondage
and death from me, now – all spirits, all
witchcraft, all foul powers. I cancel all claims
against me by the work of Jesus Christ (Col
2:13-15).
I take my place in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
and in his life. I claim the resurrection of Christ
against my enemies and their devices, and I bind
them from me and send them to their judgment, in the
Mighty Name of Jesus Christ and to his everlasting
glory. I choose to live by the strength of Jesus
Christ, and by his mighty life. In Jesus’ Name. |
