Encouraging Confessions
DAILY CONFESSION = CONSTANT POSSESSION
Eph. 1:17 – 23 I give thanks to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, for He has given to me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of His Son. He has opened the eyes of my understanding and granted light into my soul concerning His will for my life and the riches of His grace, which I have inherited through Jesus Christ my Lord. He has granted unto me Holy Ghost power as a believer according to the working of His mighty power, which He used when He raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in heaven. He has granted me this same power, authority and dominion and has put all things under my feet. I am a member of Christ’s body. Jesus Christ is my Lord and leads me, and God’s will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven.
I HAVE AN ADVOCATE
I John 2:1 I believe the blood of Jesus Christ purges me from every defilement of the enemy, prevents deception and aborts every attempt of the enemy to deceive me. Through the blood of Jesus, I am reconciled to God for I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I have victory over every situation and over all the power of the devil and nothing shall by any means harm me. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am above only and never beneath. I am healed, filled and sealed by the Holy Ghost. With my conversation, I will continually declare my faith. The Lord is my shepherd. I do not want for anything. I do not lack ability or opportunity because all things pertaining to life and Godliness – God has freely given unto me. I seek first the kingdom of God and He adds all things that I need.
A PRAYER TO KEEP A SOUND MIND
“Father, from this day forward I fear no evil, no enemy, no terrorist, and no attacks of the devil. Fear, in the name of Jesus I command you to leave my mind, my emotions, and my body. I am off limits to all fear because I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. His blood has washed me clean, I am a king and priest unto God, and as His beloved I am as bold as a lion. I fear nothing...no person, no religion, no witchcraft, no sickness, and no poverty! This day is a new day in which I walk in complete faith and trust in God and His Word. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, amen.”
THE CURE FOR ANXIETY
Matthew 6:25-33 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
25 "This is why I tell you: Don't worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the sky: they don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they? 27 Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying? 28 And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don't labor or spin thread. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these! 30 If that's how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won't He do much more for you—you of little faith? 31 So don't worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' 32 For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.
LOVE
I Corinthians 13:4-8
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy; is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited—arrogant and inflated with pride; it is not rude (unmannerly), and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it--pays no attention to a suffered wrong. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything (without weakening). Love never fails—never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end.
AGREE WITH GOD
Let your heart agree with the following as you speak these words out of your mouth:
“Heavenly Father, I thank You today, because You are my Father. Because I have been born again, I am Your very own child, and You are my very own Father. Thank You, Father, for Your great plan of redemption which You planned and then sent the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate.
Thank You, Father, that the plan of redemption not only provided for the remission of sins and the New Birth, but provided for healing for my physical body. For it is written in Matthew 8:17 that Himself, Jesus, took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. What He bore, I need not bear. Because He bore my infirmities, because He bore my sicknesses, I’m healed; I’m free. I no longer have sickness. I no longer have disease. Jesus bore sickness and disease for me.
It is also written in 1 Peter 2:24, “By whose stripes ye were healed.” If we were healed, I was healed. I am now healed by His stripes. I am healed now; I am well now. I believe that in my heart, I say it with my mouth. By His stripes, I am healed. Hallelujah!”
I PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
I am a love person. Therefore, I endure long and I am patient and kind. I am never envious, nor do I boil over with jealousy. I am a love person. I am not boastful or vain-glorious. I do not display myself haughtily. I am not conceited, arrogant or influenced by pride. I am not rude. I am not unmannerly. I do not act unbecomingly. My actions are of character and integrity.
I am a love person. I do not insist on my own rights. I do not insist on my own way. I am not self-seeking. I am a love person. Therefore, I am not touchy, fretful, or resentful in my heart toward anyone.
I am a love person. I take no account of an evil done to me. I pay no attention to a suffered wrong. I am a love person. I don’t rejoice at injustice or unrighteousness. I rejoice when right and truth prevail. I bear up under anything and everything that comes. I am always ready to believe the best of every person.
I am a love person. My hopes are fadeless under all circumstances. I endure everything without weakening. I never fail. I do not fear. I have a spirit of love, power and a sound mind. I will imitate my Father God for He lives in me and is greater than the problems I encounter on the outside. I can do all things because the strength of the Lord within me always causes me to triumph. I cannot fail because love never fails.
The Holy Spirit Guides Me
I believe and confess that the Spirit of God is leading me in all the affairs of life. He leads me in spiritual matters, financial matters and in everything that concerns me. At all times I listen to the inward witness, the Holy Spirit within me. The eyes of my understanding are being enlightened. I know on the inside what to do in every situation. God leads me by that wonderful inward witness, and I listen to it and obey it. Hallelujah! I’m not looking for answers, for God has placed them on the inside of me by His Spirit dwelling on the inside of me.New ParagraphPrayer of Dedication, Consecration, and Submission
Father, I pray the Prayer of Dedication, Consecration, and Submission. In every area of my life, I belong to You. Father, I’ll go where you want me to go. I’ll do what You want me to do. Not my will, but Your will be done. Thank You, Father that You work in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. You have a good plan for my life, a plan of peace and joy.Father, what You want and what You desire is what I want; that is what I desire. Not my will, but Your will for my life every day. Not my own way, not the way of the flesh, but the way of the Spirit. Father, Your will, Your plan, Your way.
Father, I dedicate my life to You in every area. You have a plan for me in every area of life. Thank You, Father, for the joy of obedience. I will obey You with joy. Father, I want to have the spirit of obedience in my life, not rebellion or pride, not resistance or hard-heartedness, but a soft, sensitive heart that is willing to do anything.
I rebuke rebellion and stubbornness in Jesus’ name. Father, I say before Your presence that I am willing to do anything you want me to do. No matter what man says. No matter what the world says. You have found a willing person. You have found an obedient person.
Father, I will do what You say all the way, just the way You say it, no more and no less and with joy. Thank You, Father, for the spirit of faith and the spirit of obedience. And Father, thank You that Your will shall be fulfilled in my life to Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Ephesians 1:17-21 (Amplified Bible)
17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant me a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,18 By having the eyes of my heart flooded with light, so that I can know and understand the hope to which He has called me, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),
19 And [so that I can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,
20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
