DECLARATIONS
God, You plan for and inhabit every second, minute and hour of our lives. Thank You for Your faithful and constant oversight and protection. I have zero reason to experience anxiety or worry, because You are the Father and Master of Time. My life, and the lives of my family members and loved ones sit in the palm of Your Great hand, and nothing, NOTHING, can separate or remove me. I am enrobed in confidence and protection and I AM SAFE.
You are the same yesterday, today and forever. Your plans to lavish me with prosperity and purpose stand strong. I access the truth about my process and journey daily and receive my day with thanksgiving and wholeheartedness. You care about me, my partner, my kids, my home, my marriage, my heart, mind and body more than I can comprehend. I receive Your confidence, Jesus, and choose to inhabit my life with zeal and endurance. I am ready, willing and able, as a result of attaching myself to You, to move through my life as a conqueror and champion, whether I’m quiet and calm or loud and wild, OR a combination, I am ME and I move authentically.
I live beneath the wings of my Great Protector and behind the walls of my strong Shelter. I inhabit Your name and I am utterly defended, morning, noon and night. My house is surrounded with the creatures of heaven, lavishly painted with the Blood, and we receive the birthright of Peace that surpasses understanding. As for me and my house, we honour and welcome the ONE who holds the seven stars in His hands, who is worthy to open the scroll, who conquered death, hell and the grave in order to purchase proximity and relationship for each one of us, daily.
I choose friendship with my family. I reject any spirit of control or fear. I open up to deep faith, deep trust, radical courage and utter reliance on You, the Great I AM. Far be it from me to attempt to operate Your hands. I take my hands off of any attempts to tell You how to do Your job. I turn away from a performative way of living. I choose to raise up my kids in the ways in which THEY should go, and I thank and bless You for this opportunity, this pause, in which we get to know and value one another on deeper and more intimate levels.
I am grateful for my home. Thank You for the foundation, the walls, the doors, the windows, the roof, the property lines and the land that it’s built on. I receive Your perspective for the place we inhabit. I let go of seeing problems, and of comparison. Thank You for electricity and safety. Thank You for community, for the air we breathe and for the molecules and atoms that make up the surfaces we stand on. I receive a fresh updraft of Gratitude and heavenly perspective with regards to the home that I live in. No more ‘if onlys…’ I am full of abundant appreciation for the place that You’ve put me right now.
Thank You for my partner. I understand that I have the authority to speak into their lives before You. I declare blessings, abundance, spiritual prosperity, Hope, Peace, Joy, wholeness, healing, connection, encounters, dreams, visions and relationship with You beyond their wildest dreams. Your love for them is endless and unknowable. I speak a radical infilling right now that is utterly life altering and full of glory for them right now!
