Photo by Stuart Miles

I praise you God for your wisdom and love. I know you only want what is best for us. Your Word says the children will feel the effects of the fathers sins to the third and fourth generations. It is for freedom that Christ has set (Name) free. By faith in Jesus, (Name) will receive an inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. (Name) will stand firm, and will not be burdened by a yoke of slavery that could be inherited from previous generations. (Name) is in Christ, therefore, he/she is a new creation: the old is gone, the new has come. Jesus, thank you for binding up the brokenhearted, for proclaiming freedom for the captives and releasing prisoners from darkness. Thank you for love that endures forever. Amen.

Father, your word says “He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.” I don’t want that to happen to (Name). I decree he/she will heed discipline and listen to correction. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. I claim, (Name) will not forget this word of encouragement that addresses us as sons: he/she will not make light of discipline, (Name) will not lose heart when You rebuke him/her, because You Lord, discipline those You love, and punish everyone You accept as a son. I say, (Name) will not grow bitter with discipline, but will learn from it and harvest peace and righteousness. In Jesus name, Amen.

By putting hope in You, (Name) will renew his/her strength, he/she will soar on wings like eagles; will run and not grow weary, will walk and not be faint. God of hope, thank you for filling (Name) with all joy and peace as he/she trusts in You. I pray his/her hope would overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit and spread to everyone around him/her. I declare (Name)s hope will rest on the promise of eternal life, it will not be swayed or drained by the circumstances of this world. Thank you, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus, that we may look forward to eternity with You. Amen.

Regardless of age (Name) will set an example for others in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. I decree (Name) will be known by his/her actions and by his/her faith in You. (Name) will make good decisions and will not cause anyone to stumble. In everything, (Name) will set an example by doing what is good, he/she will live so others will see his/her good deeds.

Father God, thank you for giving so abundantly to us. I cannot thank you enough for the gifts of Salvation, Your love and my loved ones. I declare, (Name) will be a cheerful giver. Your Word says “whoever sows generously will also reap generously”. I say, (Name) will give time, talent and tithes abundantly. His/her motivation to give, is to bring You glory, not to receive honors from man. I decree, (Name) will desire treasure in heaven above treasure on earth. He/she will look not only to his/her own interests, but also to the interests of others. (Name) will remember, the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’. Thank you for reminding us to give. Amen.

All the days ordained for him/her were written in your book before one of them came to be. Thank you for Your plan to prosper (Name), to give him/her hope and a future. I praise You for Your plan and Your purpose. I decree (Name) will not worry about the future because each day has enough trouble of its own. Your Word says, “all things work for the good of those who love you” and I claim that promise today for (Name). Thank you God, for going ahead of us and meeting us in tomorrow.

Standing in the Gap Day 17- Self-Control

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. God thank you for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit. By acknowledging Jesus as his/her savior, (Name) has the ability to live by the Spirit and bear the fruit of self-control. I declare he/she will make every effort to be faithful, good, knowledgeable, self-controlled, to persevere in godliness, kindness and brotherly love. All of these qualities will keep him/her from being ineffective and unproductive. In the name of Jesus, I say, (Name) will be self-controlled and alert.

LORD, I know you detest lying lips, but delight in men who are truthful. I decree, (Name) will live by truth. He/she will not give false testimony in any matter small or large.

Standing in the Gap Day 15- Purity

It is God’s will that we should be sanctified: that we should avoid sexual immorality. Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore I declare (Name) will honor God with his/her body and flee from sexual immorality. It is common to be tempted, but I decree, (Name) will stand firm against temptation and will not fall! Thank you God for your faithfulness; I know you will not let (Name) be tempted beyond what he/she can bear. But when (Name) is tempted, I say he/she will clearly see the way out that You have provided and will take that path. I say, (Name) will live by the Spirit, and will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. He/she will imitate God, as a dearly loved child and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. There will not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Thank you God for leading us in the way that brings us closer to You, Amen.

Father God, we know nothing in all creation is hidden from Your sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before Your eyes and we must give account. It is required that (Name) must prove faithful in the things you have given him/her to do. I declare, (Name) will be trustworthy, honest and responsible in all ways. When he/she is required to give an account to You, (Name) will hear ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Thank you for the perfect example Jesus gave us to follow. Amen.

God, you said “do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” When s/he faces trials, I decree, (Name) will approach Your throne of grace with confidence, so that s/he will receive mercy and find grace to help in his/her time of need. (Name) will live by the Spirit you have given him/her which does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
