Bible based “I am” Declarations

I am prayer declarations in Christ

Why do we need these identity declarations “I am declarations” ?

God has given us an identity when He made us. When we walk in awareness of that identity, we have abundant peace, great joy and ongoing victory, even as we pass through storms and wilderness.

Whereas the lie of the enemy gives nothing but confusion, anxiety, anger and fills one with hate and dislike. 

We are made in the image and likeness of God. The Bible verse in Geneses 1:26 points to this.

But the choice to accept the truth and live a wholesome life is ours. Many of us know that as we follow the owners manual and instructions the equipment we bought will serve us best with no breakdown.

God gave us free will. He did not want to impose obedience to make us like slaves and robots with no will. God’s great desire is to have us as His loving sons and daughters living life with freedom and authority as His children.

In the world, the lies of the enemy are heard without effort. But the truth of God’s word, the truth of our creator can be established as we take effort to declare God’s word over our lives.

Here as we make these declarations in faith, we remind ourselves the truths of our identity – which leads us to make a definite effort, we make a push in that direction.

These declarations are based on the verses from the Bible – the Word Of God. Within 6 weeks of daily decorations, you are bound to be organised and be a systematic person.

Why be a disciplined Christian?

Why a Christian should be disciplined?

Discipline of a Christian
As Christians we are to pray and read the Bible daily. Ideally we are to have a quiet time with God daily, hear Him daily.  We are to praise and worship Him daily at home. We are to have a daily quiet time at home.  We are to go to church and worship God as a community. We are to have Holy Communion as often as possible. We need to forgive ourselves and others. We need to be obedient to what the Lord directs us to. We need to be willing to sacrifice as well as share and be charitable. We need to love ourselves and others. And many more.

All these may not be our default nature, but we can choose to discipline ourselves in all these. Most importantly we need to love God above all and be fully confident about His great love towards us. We have this verse from Proverbs 3:5-6 which says this.  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. All these are elements of a disciplined Chritian life. With discipline complemented by faith we can develop a consistent lifestyle which pleases our Lord and saviour.  

Presence of God and rest

Presence of God and rest

We like to rest. We love breaks when we study and even when we work. We wait for weekends and holidays so we can have some rest.

But as a Christian, we can choose to rest any time, any day of the week. Yes, this is true. This depends precisely on what we choose to think and where we consider ourselves to be. 

Exodus 33:14 has a very powerful key to rest. The verse is given below as per a few different verses of the Bible. You can read that this is an assurance from God to Moses.

And He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” (NKJV)
