CHRIST—OUR RIGHT-STANDING
BEFORE THE FATHER
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
CONFESSION
I have received God's overflowing grace and the gift
of righteousness which has put me into right standing
with the Father. I reign as a king in life through Christ.
Glory to God!
FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 3:23-28; Romans 4:5-8
CONFESSION
I’m the unveiling of the Father’s righteousness; His
“rightwiseness” and sound judgments are heard in me,
seen in me, and dispensed through me. I judge by the
Spirit in righteousness, and reprove with equity because
I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

blessings you’d experience every day. His Name is an
instrument, a great blessing for us in the New Testament.
The Word tells us to use the Name of Jesus in all things
(Colossians 3:17).
What many have lacked is the consciousness of
the power and authority of His Name. When you make
demands in His Name, He sees to it that they happen
(John 14:14). When someone is sick in your home, for
example, take charge and declare, “In the Name of Jesus
Christ, I rebuke the pain; I rebuke the affliction!” Mention
the sickness and command it to go!
He told us to heal the sick; so, it’s our responsibility to
do it in His Name; and His Name never fails! Even now,
rebuke the infirmity. Use the Name of Jesus to bless your
home, bless your family, effect the changes you desire and
create blessings for yourself and others.
CONFESSION
I declare, in the Name of Jesus that I live above this world
and its corrupting influences. No sickness, disease or
infirmity can thrive in my body, because I have the divine
life—the indestructible, unconquerable life of God—in
my spirit! I’m conscious of my divinity and immortality
in Christ Jesus. Blessed be God! I live victoriously and
dominate life’s situations and circumstances. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY:
Acts 3:16; Philippians 2:9-11; Colossians 3:17
CONFESSION
I’m perceptive, astute and smart, imbued with an
extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. I’m confident,
bold and courageous; I have an exceptional intellect,
marked by wit and intelligence, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

LIVE AS ONE WHO HAS ETERNAL LIFE
I write these things to you who believe in
the name of the Son of God so that you
may know that you have eternal life
(1 John 5:13 NIV).
CONFESSION
I walk and function in the consciousness that my spirit
has been imparted with eternal life—the God-type of
life! Therefore, I live in the realm of incorruptibility,
immortality, everlasting joy, peace and glory; reigning
and ruling over Satan, his demons and the elements of
this world. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
John 3:36; 1 John 5:11-13 NIV; John 17:3
CONFESSION
Christ is in me; His perfection is in my spirit. The life
and glory of God are manifested in and through me. I
acknowledge the treasures in my spirit through the Word
and bring them into operation and manifestation with my
confessions of faith. In all that I do, I exude excellence,
perfection and the Lord’s goodness, kindness, beauty,
and grace. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 8:11; Colossians 1:26-27
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a life-distributor,
and a dispenser of your blessings. I am your outstretched
arm to a hurting and dying world, to heal, bless, and
deliver. I’m full of power, even by the Spirit of the Lord,
and the glory of God is released into my world through
me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

was darkness, pain, and poverty. In those crusades, I’d
command blind eyes to open, deaf ears to be unstopped,
the mute to speak, and the lame to walk, and they did.
Knowing that the concluding part of the 6th verse
referred to the end of poverty and lack, I’d declare to
the crowds that irrespective of their circumstances, they
possessed a supernatural life now that Christ was alive in
them. They believed and were transformed by the Truth.
The evidence of the Kingdom was undeniable!
Christ in you brings forth righteousness and the
outworking of His Kingdom. It is a transformational
reality that manifests in the ability to live righteously and
experience the abundant life of God's Kingdom. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Kingdom that’s in
my heart; your glory and righteousness are in me
and revealed through me. I’m the Kingdom vent for
righteousness, and the outworking of righteousness.
Your Kingdom reigns and is established in the earth and
in the hearts of men as the Gospel is proclaimed around
the world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Mark 1:14; Colossians 1:27; Luke 17:21
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your life and nature in my
spirit, and the life of excellence that I have in Christ
Jesus. You've made my life beautiful, and you've enabled
me to be an effective witness and representative of your
Kingdom, showing forth your praises, and illuminating
the dark places of the earth with the light of the glorious
Gospel, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

" hrist in you" signifies that God resides in you in His
fullness, not in parts, nor in a measure. This is an
immensely significant truth, one that cannot be overstated.
Just as the Holy Spirit dwelt in Christ, He now dwells in you.
Have you really taken the time to contemplate this truth?
Colossians 1:19, referring to the Lord Jesus, says that
in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. We can
readily accept that the fullness of God dwells in Jesus. But
the same is true of us in Christ Jesus. Just as we read that
it pleased the Father to have all the fullness of God dwell
in Jesus, Colossians 2:10 says, “And ye are complete in
him, which is the head of all principality and power.”
Now, you can better understand why Paul would pray
in Ephesians 3:19 “…that ye might be filled with all
the fulness of God." He wanted them to experience this
ministry of the Holy Spirit and come to the realization of
this truth about the indwelling fullness of God. Ephesians
48
1:22-23 says we, the Church, are His body; we’re the
fullness of Him that fills all in all. Hallelujah!
John 1:16 AMPC says, “For out of His fullness
(abundance) we have all received….” This is God's
purpose for us—to be filled with His fullness. So, not only
is this a possibility, it’s our reality in Christ. He lives within
every fibre of your being; in your spirit, soul and body.
Understanding this message is transformative. It is what
will change the world, but we must act upon it.
CONFESSION
I’m full of God; I’ve received of His fullness: His ability,
wisdom, grace, power and strength! His glory is in
me and expressed through me; therefore, my life is a
continuous manifestation of Christ and the supernatural.
I impact my world with the power and dominion of
Christ’s righteousness that I bear, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FERVENT AND PERSISTENT IN PRAYER
So Peter was kept in prison, but fervent
prayer for him was persistently made to
God by the church (assembly)
(Acts 12:5 AMPC).

and executed James, one of the Lord’s disciples, in order
to please the Jews. Motivated by the exciting response of
the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter.
Herod must have considered killing Peter, the leader of
the group, as the most strategic way to destroy everything
the Church stood for. However, the Church remained
steadfast in prayer for Peter. As the Church prayed
fervently and persistently, there was an intervention from
heaven. An angel of the Lord appeared and freed Peter
from his chains and guided him to safety. He then went to
the house of Mary, the mother of John, where the Church
had gathered in fervent prayer (Acts 12:12).
Learn to be persistent and fervent in prayer. Remember
what the Bible says in James 5:16 AMPC, “…The earnest
(heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes
tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].”
Persist in prayer until there’s a change. We have the power
to change anything through our prayers. God made it so.
Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I declare that the nations and leaders of
the world are under the divine influence of your mighty
power, and that wicked spirits responsible for evil and

But you shall receive power (ability,

Spirit has come upon you...
(Acts 1:8 AMPC).

Holy Spirit is our sure and dependable guide.
With Him, you're not going to be left groping in the dark,
speculating about what to do or where to go, wondering
what to do in life, what choices to make, for He will guide
you into all truth. He also reveals the future to you. We’re
not left to guess and hope without direction. Our hope is
focused and well-directed because the Holy Spirit shows
us the future.
Something absolutely remarkable is the fact that He
empowers us to change the future that He reveals to us
that’s not consistent with His perfect will. We have the
ability to shape our own destinies. Some may find this hard
to fathom, but it’s the truth revealed in the Word.
So let your faith be in God’s holy Word, and be ever-
reliant and dependent on the Holy Spirit for guidance and
direction in and for all things. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the blessed Holy Spirit who
leads me into all truth, showing me the amazing, beautiful
and glorious realities of the Kingdom and how to enjoy
them. I’m ever-reliant and dependent on Him for guidance
and direction in and for all things, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
