Declaration of Dependence on the Person and Ministry of the Holy Spirit
Thank You, Father-God, for qualifying me to share in the never-ending inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of Light.[i] By Your grace, I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.[ii] I am a winner because of You, Who is always leading me in triumph[iii] by enabling me to seek and savor the things above rather than the things of earth. For I have died and my life is now hidden with Christ in You[iv] according to the promises of Your Covenant with me. What is mine is now Yours and what is Yours is now mine.
Help me to see You, others and myself as You do – no longer regarding anyone from a worldly point of view[v] – that I may conform to Your truth in every way. I choose to identify with and promote Your interest in others through Your love as a primary mission rather than any fleshly one. Have Your perfect way in my whole being, O merciful God.
HOLY SPIRIT, through your sanctifying power and in the name of Jesus Christ:
I REJECT all unbelief against God and exercise faith and trust in God my Savior and Lord by depending on You, Holy Spirit, living through me.
I REJECT all lies and deception and receive and choose to walk in integrity and to be progressively set free in my outer man by trusting you completely and by knowing and doing the truth[vi] of the living and inspired Word of Christ, the whole Gospel of grace of Your New Covenant.
I REJECT all ungodly fear, including the fear of man and other phobias, and I choose to abide, as Jesus did, in the reverence and love for You, dear Father, [vii] and in Your courage because I am a joint-heir with Christ Jesus[viii] and Your ambassador on earth.[ix]
I REJECT the selfishness and thought patterns of my former self. Instead, I choose to be filled with Your perfect love to overflowing[x] and draw on the mind of Christ Jesus[xi] who is my Way and my Truth and my Life.
I REJECT all lust and craving and all greed of my former self. Instead, I welcome Your righteousness,[xii] contentment, holiness, purity,[xiii] protection and provision for my whole being.
I REJECT the imprint of all ungodly beliefs and lies from my old mind, left-over from Satan’s former rule of my Adamic self, now dead and gone. I also reject any negative influence of the world’s system, from my flesh or from my ancestors or from my past experiences. Instead, I receive the heart of Christ, the truth of Christ, the character of Christ and the memory I need to serve Christ to represent Him responsibly and effectively to all whom I meet. I choose to renew my mind by dwelling on You, the most Holy Trinity, by setting my mind on things above and according to what is true, honorable, righteous, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent and worthy of praise – and encourage others to do the same.
To God, my Father, to Jesus Christ, my Savior and King and to the Holy Spirit, my Sanctifier, be all praise and glory and honor and thanksgiving, now and forever. Amen.
