Purpose Is Found in the Journey, One Season at a Time

Purpose Is Found in the Journey, One Season at a Time

Happy New Year. It’s a new year—January 2nd, to be exact—and I’ve been reflecting on last year’s accomplishments. For the first time in my life, I’m not just focused on the big wins, but on my progress, especially the small, daily things that quietly compound over time.

    I’m beginning to notice the changes—better yet, the growth—that I once overlooked. I see now that I am solution-oriented, a problem solver, and results-driven. I’m no longer living in negativity or seeing myself as a victim of the enemy. Instead, I face adversity head-on, seeking solutions while praying through it and choosing to delight in the learning process—even on the days when I’m crying my way through it.

    I no longer take things personally, and I have a deeper understanding that I’m not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Because of that, I know I’m responsible for how I respond.

    In 2023, God gave me a clearer understanding of my purpose and the makeup of my DNA. He showed me that I was born for battle and fully equipped for it. He didn’t give me a map—only the destination. I didn’t realize then that the journey itself was part of the purpose, and in many ways, I’m still walking it.

    Life taught me resilience early on. From childhood, I learned that as long as I’m alive, there is hope. Opportunity will always present itself. The key is to keep moving forward and not self-destruct by making hard moments harder.

    The reason I’m sharing these small pieces of my story is to remind you that the good, the bad, and the ugly of your journey are not wasted. That’s where your purpose is being formed. That’s where your preparation lives.

    And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in today’s blog: what God has called you to be—and your purpose.

    One of the questions most people don’t ask themselves often enough is this: Who am I, and what is my purpose in this life?

Instead, many of us simply become what our parents, society, communities, Church, and schools tell us to be.

    The truth is, that question is rarely answered in comfort. It’s usually answered through life experiences—and more often than not, through adversity. That’s when the real you begins to unfold. And it can unfold in two very different ways: negatively or positively.

    You’ve probably heard the saying, “Hurt people hurt people.” When someone goes through a painful situation, they’re faced with a choice. They can decide, I won’t treat others the way I was treated, and allow the experience to shape them for the better—that’s the positive path. Or they can pass the pain along, turning someone else into the next victim and making hurt a way of life—that’s the negative path.

    Unfortunately, many people are shaped by the negative experiences and lose sight of their purpose altogether. It’s only by the grace and mercy of God that some of us are transformed by our pain instead of destroyed by it. Because without that grace, the reality of this world would truly be a dog-eat-dog world.

    Now, whether we take the negative or positive path through our life experiences, those choices become the roadmap of our destiny. What we learn along the way is what leads us to the discovery of our purpose.

    Take leadership, for example. True leaders carry influence and presence—whether they want it or not. People naturally gravitate toward them based on where God has called them. They value order, clarity, and fairness. They’re objective, rational, and principled. They often stand out everywhere they go.

    Because of that, leaders are respected—but they’re also sometimes disliked. Not everyone appreciates someone who can see through nonsense. Some people feel threatened by the attention leaders command, even when they’re not trying to draw it. Jealousy can surface simply because leaders carry a presence that can’t be ignored.

    What’s interesting is that most true leaders don’t recognize their calling at the beginning. Instead, they find themselves constantly in the middle of conflict, adversity, or situations that need structure and direction. And it’s right there—in the tension—that they learn how to lead. That’s where purpose begins to reveal itself.

    Over time, they start connecting the dots between their passions, their gifts, and their calling. And once the purpose becomes clear, confirmation follows. People around them either speak it out loud or show it through their actions.

    You begin to feel drawn to your tribe. You develop a hunger for knowledge. You find yourself constantly growing, refining, and seeking to reach your full potential—because now, you’re no longer just moving through life. You’re moving with purpose.

    The leadership example I just shared is only a small picture of how purpose is discovered. Now, take that same idea and apply it to your own life.

    The first question to ask yourself is this: Why do I keep finding myself in this same battle or season of adversity? Then take a moment to evaluate it honestly. How have I been responding—positively or negatively? What lesson is here for me to learn? What have I mastered or become better at because of this situation?

    Ask yourself deeper questions. What do I naturally have a knack for when it comes to this challenge? Is my passion connected to it? What are my gifts—and are those gifts tied to what I keep experiencing?

    These are the kinds of questions that begin the journey of purpose. And they’re not meant to be rushed. This is something you do prayerfully, with patience, remembering that purpose is revealed in process. The answers don’t always come all at once—they unfold as you walk the journey.

    Adversity is a part of life, and believe it or not, it’s not a bad thing. It’s what shapes you, builds character, and equips you to carry the purpose God has placed on your life. Scripture reminds us of this in James 1:2-4:

“Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials… because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” Adversity is your training ground—it’s where preparation happens.

    God also confirms this in Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” And Proverbs 4:23 gives us guidance on how to walk through it: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” This is God reminding us not to take the negative path when adversity comes.

    No one escapes this process. We all go through it. Every one of us has a story—and within that story is the preparation for purpose.

    Life without purpose can feel almost meaningless and deeply unsatisfying. It’s like wandering through life without a destination. And because life operates in seasons—nothing is permanent—there truly is a time for everything, as Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us. Those changing seasons can sometimes leave us feeling restless or unfulfilled.

    But purpose changes how we move through life. With purpose, we’re able to navigate the highs and lows—the heavy and the hard—with clarity and direction.

    Money can certainly make life easier, but it doesn’t satisfy the soul. It’s not worth selling your peace—or your purpose—for it. Purpose, on the other hand, brings fulfillment. It gives you a reason to keep going, even when life feels overwhelming.

    Marriage, children, and other life milestones are beautiful, but on their own, they don’t fully satisfy either. It’s the purpose within them that brings true fulfillment. When you understand why you’re called to love, lead, serve, or build, satisfaction follows.

    You see, purpose is never just about you. It’s about others. It’s about contribution—your unique way of helping humanity. And it’s in that contribution that satisfaction is found. Joy flows naturally, and prosperity often follows as a byproduct.

    When you walk in your purpose, you don’t just grow—you help others in their own journey too. As Scripture reminds us in 1 Peter 4:10, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

    This year, I want you to seek clarity about your purpose.

Start by asking yourself a few honest questions: What is my purpose in this life? Am I truly walking in it? The gifts I’ve discovered in myself—how do they connect to what I’m called to do?

    And most importantly, ask your Maker—God. He will reveal it to you, often through a process. Sometimes it comes as a reminder of past dreams. Other times, through new desires or visions placed in your heart. He will begin to position you where you need to be, give you the grace to handle it, and connect you with your tribe—people who think like you, grow like you, and push you forward.

    Don’t wander through life aimlessly. There is more to living than just surviving. Find your purpose.

    Everyone is born with one, uniquely designed by God. And it’s never too late to begin. Start now.

    May this year be filled with purpose, clarity, direction, and the grace to fulfill it.

    Happy New Year.

A Tree planted by the Rivers of Water

 A Tree Planted by the Rivers of Water

Today, I’ll be teaching from Psalm 1, and we’ll be talking about what it really means to be like a tree planted by the water—drawing strength and nourishment from the source that never runs dry.

    Let’s begin today by reading Psalm 1. After we read through the verses, we’ll take some time to break it down and really reflect on what it mean for our lives.

Psalm 1 (NKJV) says:

Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore, the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

    Now let’s take a moment to unpack this powerful passage together and see how it applies to us today. In this teaching, my focus is on showing you how to practically apply God’s promises in your life, using Psalm 1 as our scriptural foundation. If you’ve read my previous blogs, you know I often emphasize this truth: God’s Word operates on a cause-and-effect principle. In other words, you must take action to see results—faith requires participation, it only works when applied in action.

    Take Psalm 1, for example. It shows us exactly how this principle works. If we delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on it day and night, then it shapes our decisions. We won’t sit with the scornful, put ourselves under the influence of habitual sinners, or hang around with the ungodly. In other words, we close the door to anything that feeds evil.

    And here’s the effect: if we make those choices, then we become like a tree planted by streams of water—deeply rooted, steady, and fruitful in the right season. If we stay planted in God’s Word, then whatever we do will prosper. That doesn’t mean problems disappear, but it does mean we’ll have the strength to overcome them. Our leaves won’t wither, because we’re continually nourished, and we’ll remain strong and victorious.

    Remember, when we are in Christ, we’re called to become more like Him. That means we’re not just holding on to His promises—we’re actually living them out through His Word. In fact, our lives become a reflection of Jesus, so that He’s seen in everything we do.  Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

    What this scripture is really showing us is that an exchange took place. Our old life was put to death, and now Christ Himself lives in us. We are His temple, His vessels, chosen to be used by Him. Through this new life, we’ve also been given authority in His name to walk in everything He has commanded us to be.

    But here’s the key—God’s Word must be applied to our lives daily. We need to be aware of this truth and live consciously of it every day. To grasp it fully, let’s revisit how God originally created us.

    We are created as three-part beings: spirit, soul, and body. And we live between two realms—the physical and the spiritual. In the physical realm, we rely on our five senses: sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell. But in the spiritual realm, things operate differently. This is where truth (God's word), dreams, visions, and supernatural experiences occur—things that often can't be explained in natural terms.

    Faith itself is spiritual. You can’t see it or touch it, and many times, it doesn’t make logical sense. The Bible, from start to finish, is a spiritual book—because it’s the very Word of God. And for its principles to truly work in our lives, we have to approach it God’s way—by following His Word and living in obedience to it. When we do that, we begin to unlock His promises and experience real, lasting change. 

    Words are spiritual—especially God’s Word, which is truth. And remember, Jesus is the Word made flesh. Let me explain. Jesus is the living manifestation of God’s Word, the perfect example of how to apply it in our lives. John 1:14 says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

    You see, words carry power. They carry energy and truth. God’s Word is potent—it’s alive and active in the spiritual realm. That’s why the enemy works overtime to plant seeds of doubt in your mind, hoping you’ll speak the opposite of what God has said. Because the moment you start confessing against His Word, you begin to give power to the very things meant to hold you back.

    As we talk about our three-part being—spirit, soul, and body—today we’re going to focus on the soul, specifically the mind. The mind plays a vital role in our everyday lives because it’s where our thoughts are formed, and those thoughts ultimately shape our actions.

    Think about what the Bible says: “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45), and “By their fruit, you shall know them” (Matthew 7:16–18). These scriptures point to an important truth—our actions are rooted in our thoughts.

    The mind is essentially the center of our thought life. It’s where information is processed and stored. Another way to look at it is to view the mind as our mental life, which is made up of two parts: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. And here’s something powerful—about 90% of our mental activity takes place in the subconscious mind. That means most of our habits, reactions, and behaviors are driven by thoughts we aren’t even fully aware of.

    Now, when we talk about the mind, it's also important to understand how our five senses—what we see, hear, taste, smell, and touch—operate mainly through the conscious mind. This is the part of the mind we use to make everyday decisions, process information, and interact with the physical world.

    But beneath that lies something far more powerful: the subconscious mind. It’s deeply spiritual in nature and makes up about 90% of our thought life. Think of it like this—your subconscious mind feeds your conscious mind. It stores your beliefs, patterns, and impressions, and often shapes your reality without you even realizing it.

    The subconscious mind is your spirit man, which is why it operates in a spiritual realm. Life itself is spiritual, and everything that manifests in the physical world starts in the spirit. As I often say in my teachings, the spiritual realm governs the physical realm.

    Your subconscious speaks in quiet but powerful ways—through intuition, gentle nudges, sudden ideas, instincts, and thoughts that seem to appear out of nowhere. These aren’t random; they’re often spiritual impressions flowing from deep within. 

    That’s why the Bible tells us to meditate on God’s Word (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1). Meditation isn’t just thinking about Scripture—it’s a spiritual discipline that allows God’s Word to sink deep into the subconscious mind through intentional repetition of hearing the word of God.

    It’s more than just reading or studying—you have to be intentional about it. Let God’s Word fill your space until it becomes part of you, something you naturally live and breathe. One practical way to do this is to let Scripture play softly in the background while you cook, drive, or handle everyday chores. You can even keep it on quietly while you sleep, allowing it to soak into your spirit. It’s like hearing a favorite song on the radio—you’re not trying to memorize it, but after hearing it over and over, the words become second nature.

    When God’s Word takes root like that, it begins to shape your thoughts, influence your actions, and align your life with His purpose. 

    The mind is the core of our lives, and at the core of the mind is the subconscious. So, if we want lasting transformation, it starts with renewing the mind—by feeding it the Word until it takes root in our inner man.

    In the physical world, this process is known as programming. We’re conditioned to think, act, and believe in certain ways—not overnight, but gradually. From a young age, we’re subtly programmed through culture, school systems, media, music, movies, and trends. All of this shapes our subconscious mind until our thoughts eventually show up in our actions.

    The same principle applies to the Word of God. When we hear it repeatedly—when we meditate on it, confess it, and keep it before us—it begins to sink into our subconscious (Hearts). Over time, it shapes what we believe and begins to transform the way we live. That’s exactly what Romans 10:17 reminds us: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 

    This is how faith works: we hear the Word enough to believe it, and eventually, we start acting on it. It’s not always logical, and you can’t always explain it—but that’s because faith is spiritual, not physical. You can’t touch it or measure it with your senses, but its results are real. Transformation begins on the inside—by changing the way you think—and eventually shows up on the outside through the way you live and act.

    Let’s use dreams as a case study. Have you ever thought about how what happens in your dreams can reflect your true spiritual state? In many ways, your spirit man shows up clearly in your dreams. The way you respond in a dream often reveals how strong or weak you are spiritually—whether you’re being nourished by the word of God or still malnourished in the spirit.

    Think about it: have you ever done something in a dream that you’d never do in real life? For example, many Christians know that eating in a dream often has spiritual implications. They’re aware of it and try to avoid it, yet they still find themselves eating in dreams. Then they wake up and immediately start renouncing any evil covenant they may have unknowingly entered just by eating that food.

    That kind of reaction shows your spiritual condition—what you truly believe and how much strength or authority you walk in. Often, these patterns stem from being spiritually malnourished. In some cases, it may be due to open doors through sin or generational covenants in your bloodline.

    And here’s further proof that your spirit man is the real you in the dream realm—take the story of Abimelech in Genesis 20:1–18. God appeared to him in a dream and warned him to return Sarah, Abraham’s wife. What’s powerful is that Abimelech didn’t just dream aimlessly—he responded, reasoned, and even pleaded his case with God in the dream.

    That shows us something deep: your spirit man is fully alert and able to interact in the spiritual realm, even when your physical body is asleep. The conversation between God and Abimelech was real, and it happened in a dream. That tells us that dreams aren’t just random—they’re spiritual encounters, and how you act in them reflects your spiritual state and authority.

    So when you find yourself reacting passively in dreams—eating or drinking, having sex, running from battles, or falling into traps—it’s often a sign that your spirit man needs to be strengthened, renewed, and nourished. But when you stand firm, resist, or even pray in your dreams, that’s evidence of growth and spiritual alertness.

    Just a reminder—when I talk about the spiritual realm, I’m referring to another world, a dimension where only spirits operate. And remember, we are spiritual beings housed in human bodies. It’s the unseen reality that shapes our physical world. Simply put, what you experience in your life first takes place in the spiritual realm before it shows up here in the natural.

    The good news is, God has given us the ability to prepare for—or even approve—what happens in our lives. The earth was entrusted to mankind, and for any spirit, including God, to operate here, permission must be given through us. The spiritual realm operates by one main rule: a spirit must have human agreement to function in the physical world.

    God is always direct and honest about His intentions when He moves on earth. The enemy, on the other hand, uses deception to get what he wants. Spirits gain access to our world through covenants—agreements that establish spiritual altars—giving them legal rights to work through people. And make no mistake, spirits don’t operate alone; they always work through human beings.

    Your dreams can be one way covenants are formed, allowing spirits to attach themselves to a person—often through their bloodline. This happens because of altars that were established by previous generations. These spirits strengthen their hold through sin or iniquity within the family line, giving them the legal right to pass from one generation to the next. They remain until someone in that bloodline breaks the covenant and destroys the altar.

    We are creatures of worship—created to worship something. It will either be the Almighty God or lesser gods such as self, money, idols or demons; there is no middle ground. Whoever we worship ultimately influences our thoughts, actions, and choices.

    Iniquity separates us from God and gives the enemy legal access to operate in our lives. And here’s the sobering truth: the spirit attached to you is what influences whether you walk in sin—or in righteousness.

    Let’s dive back into our Bible study in Isaiah chapter 55. In this passage, God offers an open invitation to an abundant life for His people.

    In verse 1, He says (paraphrased): “Anyone who is thirsty, come and drink. And those who have no money, come—buy and eat without cost, without price.”

    Let that sink in for a moment—God is literally giving us the key to experiencing an abundant life. He’s saying that what He offers can’t be bought with money. It’s freely given to those who come to Him with a willing heart.

    Then in verse 2, He asks a powerful question: “Why do you spend money on what is not bread, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.”

    In other words, God is reminding us to stop chasing things that don’t truly fulfill us. Instead, He invites us to find real satisfaction in Him.

    He goes even deeper in verses 3–4, urging us to listen and come near to Him so that we may truly live abundantly. God promises a life rooted in His everlasting covenant—a promise that can never be broken. And to drive the point home, He uses David as an example—a witness to His faithfulness and a reminder that what God promises, He always fulfills.

    Let’s look at the rest of Isaiah 55, verses 7–13. In this passage, God calls us to turn away from our own ways and return to Him, promising mercy and abundant pardon. Then He reminds us that His thoughts are not like ours, and His ways are far above ours—higher than the heavens are above the earth.

    He goes on to paint a beautiful picture: just as rain and snow come down from heaven to water the earth, causing it to produce fruit and provide seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is His Word. When God speaks, His Word never returns empty—it always fulfills its purpose.

    Then comes the promise: “You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace.” Even creation responds with celebration—the mountains sing, and the trees clap their hands! God ends the chapter with a vision of transformation: instead of thorns, there will be cypress trees; instead of briers, myrtle trees will grow. It’s a picture of restoration and fruitfulness—of life flourishing under His blessing.

    In a nutshell, when we come to God, listen to Him, and apply His Word, He blesses the work of our hands. We become like that tree planted by rivers of water mentioned in Psalm 1—steadfast, nourished, and fruitful in every season. That’s what happens when we walk in God’s wisdom and follow His direction. He doesn’t just want us to survive—He wants us to prosper.

    Here’s a powerful revelation: God created us in His own image and likeness, and then breathed His very life into us (Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 2:7). Think about that for a moment. He poured His Spirit—the Holy Spirit—into us and made us like Him. When we live in alignment with Him, we share in that same Spirit, and His will flows through us. That’s why Adam had the authority and wisdom to name the animals.

    But it doesn’t stop there. God also gave us dominion over the earth—the physical world—and designed us to function in both the spiritual and physical realms. No other being was created with this unique ability.

    And here’s the best part: we were created for God’s pleasure and purpose, and every provision we need has already been made available to us. All we have to do is come into alignment with God—just like Psalm 1 reminds us.

    To put it simply, we are designed like God—created in His image and likeness. That means we were made to carry His presence, so that His kingdom is known and His will is done here on earth. This is our primary purpose. Our relationship with God reflects His glory, and He delights in that relationship with us.

    Think of it this way—God is our ultimate source, and we are an extension of Him. Everything we need to succeed has already been provided through Him (Ephesians 1:3). Our part is to stay connected. And that connection starts with one simple step: surrendering to Him. From there, growth happens as we get to know God personally—by reading His Word, applying it in our daily lives, speaking it in faith, and spending time with Him in prayer.

Cultivating a prayer life is of paramount importance for your spiritual journey, particularly in a fast-paced society where allocating exclusive time for prayer can be challenging. The solution is clear: "Simply Prayer for Our Daily Journey," a scripture-enriched prayer book designed for all aspects of life. Additionally, pair it with a Faith-building scripture book to assist you in persevering through the waiting time on God’s promises and strengthening your faith. However, it's essential to note that this prayer book doesn't replace genuine, quality time with God; you must spend dedicated time with Him.

    

    

The Spirit of Rejection

The Spirit of Rejection

Welcome back to my blog! Today, we’re diving into a subtle yet powerful Spirit that often goes unnoticed but can cause significant damage in our lives. It quietly creeps into our relationships, finances, businesses, and personal growth, slowing or even stopping our progress from the inside out.

    We’re talking about the Spirit of Rejection—what it is, how it operates, how we may have unknowingly forged a covenant with it, and most importantly, how to break free from it. Let’s get started!

    Let’s begin by understanding what spirits are. Simply put, they are invisible beings without physical bodies and, by design, have no legal right to operate in our world. However, they exist alongside us and often seek to influence us to carry out their purposes as scripture affirms, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”(Ephesians 6:12). They can gain legal access to operate in our lives—usually through covenants made with individuals.

    Evil spirits often work together to accomplish their agenda. They are typically assigned specific roles and functions. Take, for instance, a lying spirit—it can lead individuals to become habitual liars. Similarly, a spirit of lust can drive someone toward promiscuity. These spirits rarely operate in isolation; instead, they often work together, reinforcing and amplifying each other’s influence.

   A clear example of this can be found in Matthew 12:45, where Jesus explains how an evil spirit, after being cast out, returns to find its former dwelling—now empty. It then brings along seven other spirits, even more wicked than itself, to strengthen its hold on that person’s life.

    Another striking example is in Mark 5:9, where Jesus encounters a man possessed by demons. When Jesus asks, 'What is your name?' the man replies, 'My name is Legion, for we are many.'

    Likewise, a lying spirit can partner with spirits of theft, murder, anger, and other destructive behaviors. Similarly, a spirit of lust can align with spirits of addiction, shame, deceit, jealousy, and envy—forming stronger strongholds and intensifying their influence.

    God created us with three distinct parts—spirit, soul, and body—and gave us dominion over the earth. Because we are part spirits, we have access to the spiritual realm while operating in the physical world. However, the same is not true for spirits. No spirit can function in our physical world without a body. This is why human consent is required for any spirit—including God—to operate here. That consent is often granted through covenants and the act of raising altars.

    Evil spirits are resilient and relentless—they are not interested in casual encounters but seek long-term influence and control. They hold no loyalty to their human agents and will ultimately betray them. These spirits are highly intelligent beings, operating with the sole purpose of stealing, killing, and destroying. While they cannot force us to sin, they are often the driving force behind temptations and destructive behaviors, working to lead us into disobedience and bondage.

   Demons are closely tied to every sin, actively seeking to tempt and cause us to stumble. Their ultimate goal is to divert our focus from fulfilling God’s will—especially during critical moments, such as a kairos moment (opportune times), when God is preparing to bless, empower, or move in our lives. Often, their access to a person’s life stems from covenants established by ancestors. When an individual commits a specific sin, it can create an opening for these demons to influence and operate within their life.

    Now that we have a better understanding of how spirits operate, let's shift our focus back to the spirit of rejection. So, what exactly is the spirit of rejection? As the name implies, it’s a spirit that causes others to reject a person. Its purpose is straightforward—to make someone feel unwanted, overlooked, and excluded.

    We’re created to live and grow in connection with others. Whether in personal or professional relationships, we need people to thrive and move forward in life. But how can we truly progress if the people God places in our lives—even for a season—reject us? It can make life feel difficult and even block us from fulfilling our destiny.

    The spirit of rejection operates to block progress by creating discord between you and the people who are meant to help move you into your next phase of growth. It also works to blind others from seeing or noticing you, making you feel invisible or overlooked.

    This spirit often leaves you feeling invisible or insignificant, as if you don’t matter, by causing others to feel irritated with you for no apparent reason. Yet, battling the individuals influenced by this spirit is futile, as it will continue to manipulate those around you until it is confronted spiritually.

    To grasp how the spirit of rejection operates, imagine this scenario: You’re in an office where you’re highly efficient, consistent, and an exceptional team player. Despite your dedication and strong work ethic, the spirit of rejection can stir up jealousy in a coworker. That person might then launch a subtle campaign against you—spreading lies, creating division, and sabotaging your progress—all to isolate you and sever connections with those who could help you advance to the next level.

    Let me share a personal experience to illustrate this. A few years ago, I worked as a trainer in a corporate setting. When I first joined the department, I was welcomed with open arms. It felt almost too good to be true—especially since I had grown accustomed to facing rejection in similar spaces.

    No matter how hard I worked or how good I was at my job, things always seemed to turn against me, and I often ended up facing rejection. I recognized this pattern and identified it as the spirit of rejection working against me.

    Before starting this job, I made a decision to fast and surrender everything to God. I prayed intentionally, asking Him to break any covenant connected to rejection—especially the spirit of anti-progress.

    This time, things were different. I was welcomed, valued, and appreciated. My efforts were not only recognized but also commended. I stayed diligent, efficient, and solution-focused. I worked with integrity and consistency, earning the trust and respect of those around me.

    It was a clear turnaround—proof that spiritual preparation (fasting) and prayer can shift atmospheres and break negative cycles. When the time came for me to transition to the next phase of my life, I had to train a replacement. Out of reverence for the Lord, I was committed to doing it the right way. I’ve never been the jealous type or felt the need to compete with others. My approach has always been to focus on excellence and strive to be the best at what I do.

    The first person I trained presented themselves as a Christian—someone who seemed very spiritual. Unfortunately, my discernment didn’t kick in right away. I was simply excited to have a fellow believer around, especially after feeling spiritually isolated for so long.

    Sadly, this person betrayed my trust. They lied about me, twisted my words, and even accused me of forcing my beliefs on them. They claimed I made them feel uncomfortable and uneasy, portraying me as controlling and setting them up to fail.

    It was a tough experience, but it taught me the importance of spiritual discernment and reminded me that not everyone who claims to walk in faith is truly aligned with God’s spirit.

    The truth eventually came to light, but the damage had already been done. Seeds of doubt had been sown into my Boss and co-workers' hearts, and the person’s goal—to get me fired and ruin my reputation—had left its mark.

    Soon after, a second replacement arrived for me to train. This time, I was ready and much more watchful. I was originally supposed to train two people, which I preferred because having a witness provided an extra layer of accountability in case anything went wrong.

    The night before training began, I had a dream where one of the trainees backed out of the process. I immediately recognized this as a warning, so I braced myself for what was coming.

    Shortly after, I had another dream—this time, the first person I trained showed up at my workplace. In the dream, I sensed she was bringing trouble with her. At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure what the dream meant, but I was determined to stand firm and break any spiritual influence she still had over me.

    Looking back now, I realize God was giving me insight—revealing that the same spirit of rejection and sabotage was operating in the person I was currently training. To cut the story short, the same pattern repeated, but this time it was even worse. My credibility and reputation were shattered, and only a handful of people believed me.

    Despite everything, I resigned with my head held high, trusting that God would vindicate me—and He did. Let’s just say that person eventually faced the consequences of their actions.

    In the end, I came to realize that I was still battling the spirit of rejection. My time at that job ultimately ended in hostility, repeating the same painful pattern I had encountered before. This experience served as a powerful reminder of the importance of spiritual discernment, consistent prayer, and breaking strongholds to overcome recurring cycles of rejection and opposition.

    The spirit of rejection is a relentless force that fights against progress. It works to undermine confidence, stir up opposition, and create roadblocks that hinder growth and advancement. By planting seeds of doubt, isolation, and division, it seeks to derail purpose and prevent individuals from reaching their full potential. Confronting this spirit requires spiritual discernment, prayer, and intentional action to break free from its grip and move forward in strength and purpose.

    I’m sharing my experience to highlight just how subtle and deceptive this spirit can be. It often lies dormant for years, only to resurface right when you’re on the brink of a breakthrough—its goal is to destroy relationships and opportunities that could help propel you to the next level.

   Does any of this sound familiar? Maybe you often find yourself at odds with people, even when you go out of your way to get along. Perhaps you’ve faced unexplained hostility, sabotage, or being overlooked despite your kindness and hard work.

    You might be the one putting in all the effort, yet someone else takes the credit and reaps the rewards. No matter how hard you work, you always seem to come up short. People may start off loving and supporting you, only to turn against you later for no apparent reason. And when it’s time to move on—whether from a job, relationship, or situation—the exit is always messy, filled with conflict and tension. 

    These are clear signs that the spirit of rejection could be operating in your life. I genuinely believed I had dealt with this spirit during the times I was breaking evil covenants and generational curses. However, I later realized it had remained dormant—hidden but still active—until I made the intentional decision to confront it and close every door the Holy Spirit revealed to me.

    This leads to an important question—how does the spirit of rejection gain access to our lives?

    It often enters through covenants tied to our bloodline or through sexual relations with someone who is already influenced by or bound to the spirit of rejection. Let me break this down further—starting with the impact of sexual relationships and then addressing bloodline covenants.

    According to Scripture, when two people engage in sexual relations, they become one flesh. God designed sexual intimacy not only for procreation but also as a sacred bond to unite couples, enabling them to function as a team, build families, and fulfill His will.

    In 1 Corinthians 6:16, it says: “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’” This verse emphasizes both the physical and spiritual union that takes place during intimacy.

    To illustrate, imagine Person 1 is painted red and Person 2 is painted blue. When they come together, their colors blend, creating a new shade—a mixture of both. This blending goes beyond the physical and extends into the spiritual, often including shared demons, curses, and spiritual baggage carried by either person.

    This is how a covenant can be formed with the spirit of rejection through sexual relations. If you’ve been intimate with someone who has experienced abandonment, rape, molestation, or abuse—or if you’ve experienced these yourself—you may have become bound to the spirit of rejection, allowing it to transfer into your life.

    But this transfer isn’t random—it’s often the result of covenants already established through your ancestors or bloodline. The familiar spirits and strongman operating in your lineage likely influenced your path, orchestrating these encounters to deepen their control over your life.

    As I mentioned earlier, evil spirits often work together, partnering with others to reinforce their grip on their human hosts. Understanding this connection is crucial for breaking free and reclaiming your spiritual authority.

    Every generational curse that operates in our lives is rooted in the actions or agreements made by our ancestors. If you’re unfamiliar with generational curses or evil covenants, I highly recommend checking out my blog post titled “The Reality of Generational Curses, Part 1.” It provides a clear explanation of evil covenants and their impact, helping you better understand how they might be affecting your life.

    Generational curses are inherited curses or burdens passed down through our ancestors. These curses are often linked to evil spirits assigned to cause chaos and hinder members of the bloodline from fulfilling their destinies. In many cases, each member of the lineage is targeted by these spirits, which are activated when specific sins are committed.

    Because the spiritual realm operates on legal principles, spirits cannot gain access to someone’s life without a cause. This is why Scripture warns us that “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Unrepented sin acts as an open door, allowing evil spirits to enforce covenants tied to the bloodline.

    The spirit of rejection often gains a foothold in our lives through our bloodline, where covenants with evil spirits may have been established. Familiar spirits assigned to the bloodline work to keep these covenants active, ensuring that future generations remain bound to the spirit of rejection. This connection is frequently reinforced through sinful acts like fornication, by marrying someone who carries that spirit, or through traumatic experiences such as rape or molestation. These events create spiritual ties that strengthen the presence of rejection within the lineage.

    Now that we’ve explored what the spirit of rejection is, how it operates, and how it gains access to our lives, the next important question is—how do we break free from it?

    The process is simple but powerful. First, you must break the covenant by renouncing it. Then, repent—both for your own actions and on behalf of your bloodline—asking God to forgive and cleanse any agreements made knowingly or unknowingly. Finally, pray for every door that allowed this spirit access to be closed. With faith, repentance, and intentional prayer, you can break free and step into the freedom and wholeness God has for you.

    Breaking evil covenants, especially those tied to our bloodline requires more than just prayer—it also demands fasting. This aligns with what Jesus said in Matthew 17:21, that certain spirits will not leave except through prayer and fasting. Fasting is essential for breaking these strongholds.

    If you’re not familiar with covenants or how they operate, I strongly encourage you to read my blog post—The Reality of Generational Curses, Part 3: How Do We Break These Evil Covenants? In fact, I recommend reading the entire four-part series to gain a deeper understanding and address the root causes, so you can fully break free from these spiritual ties.

Stay blessed, and may you walk in freedom from these evil spirits. Until next time!

Prayer to Start Your Day Right—After Every Dream and Waking Up

Prayer to Start Your Day Right—After Every Dream and Waking Up

Welcome to today’s blog! We’re diving into the transformative power of prayer after every sleep and sharing a simple morning prayer to start your day. As we go, we’ll also uncover the deeper meaning of dreams and how they connect to our spiritual journey. Let’s jump in, and don’t miss the powerful sample prayer at the end that you can use after every dream!

    Everyone dreams, and scientists say we experience about 4 to 6 dreams each night, though we forget about 50% of what we dream when we wake up. Interestingly, Scripture also highlights the significance of dreams. In Acts 2:17, it says that in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all people—some will prophesy, some will see visions, and others will dream.

    Dreams are one of the main ways God communicates with us, alongside His Word (Scripture). While some people experience visions, and trances, or hear God audibly, many of these moments often start with dreams. Several scriptures highlight how God speaks to us through dreams, such as Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17, Job 33:8, Daniel 2:19, 1 Kings 3:5, 1 Samuel 28:6, Genesis 20:3, Genesis 15:1, Genesis 46:2, Matthew 2:13, Genesis 37:5-10, Genesis 41:1-7, Matthew 2:12, Matthew 2:13, Acts 18:9, and many others. God gave everyone the ability to dream—whether we're believers or not—as a way to connect with us.

    So, what do we do if we forget half of our dreams—or worse, don’t remember them at all? And if we don’t understand our dreams, how do we interpret them? First, let’s break down the basics of how dreams work and how everything connects. As we go, we’ll answer these questions and more.

    In the spiritual realm, covenants are often made with us through our dreams to bring certain agendas into our physical world. Since the spiritual realm is the source of everything that happens in our reality, events occur there first before manifesting here. A good example is Ahab’s story, where it was decided in the spiritual realm that he would die before it unfolded in the physical world (1 Kings 22:19-28). What you see in your dreams is your true self—your spirit—just like in Solomon’s experience (1 Kings 3:5-28) or Joseph’s dreams (Genesis 40).

    Life is spiritual, meaning everything that happens in our lives begins in the spirit realm before it shows up in the physical world. The Bible tells us, 'While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.' This shows us that things aren’t always what they seem on the surface. Another scripture says, 'For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places' (Ephesians 6:12). This reminds us that there’s an unseen force at work, influencing what happens behind the scenes.

    Before God takes action in our physical world, He always reveals His plans to His prophets, as seen in scriptures like Numbers 12:6, Genesis 41:1-7, Job 4:12-21, Daniel 2:1-49, and Matthew 2:13. This principle also applies in the spiritual realm. For any spirit to carry out its agenda in someone's life, it must first present its plan to secure that person's agreement, which we refer to as a covenant. This often occurs through dreams. This principle is rooted in the spiritual realm, as God has given us dominion over the earth; therefore, spirits cannot operate in our world without our consent. Consequently, no event—whether good or bad—happens in our lives without our agreement. There is always a root cause, as Scripture affirms: 'So a curse without cause shall not alight' (Proverbs 26:2b).

    Our dreams can act like an intelligence report, giving us a glimpse of what’s planned in the spiritual realm before it manifests in our physical world. This gives us the opportunity to accept or decline what we see. If we choose to decline it, we can reject or cancel it through prayer. On the other hand, if we agree with it, we can affirm it in our prayers. But if we simply disregard the dream, we accept the plan by default. Unfortunately, many Christians are unaware of the significance of their dreams, leading them to face adversities that could have been avoided. As scripture reminds us, 'My people perish for lack of knowledge' (Hosea 4:6).

    There are two types of dreamers: those who have dreams that directly show events unfolding in real life, and those who dream in parables or symbols that require interpretation. For instance, dreaming about missing an exit and arriving late, or rushing to the airport only to miss your flight, symbolizes delay. This pattern in your dreams may indicate a covenant with the spirit of delay, which you need to renounce or break before it affects your life. If you experience the same type of dream three times or more, or if a dream continues from where it left off, it's a serious warning and a danger alert, prompting you to take action.

    Most people dream in symbols, while a few actually see their dreams play out in real life. Some even experience a mix of both. When the enemy reveals plans through dreams, they often come in symbolic forms and require interpretation with the help of the Holy Spirit. For example, dreaming about being in your childhood home, returning to a former job, or engaging in activities you used to do can symbolize setbacks or a sense of moving backward.

    When the devil reveals his plans to someone, he doesn't show up with horns, a tail, and a pitchfork, saying, 'Hey! I'm the devil, and I'm here to ruin your life. Make a pact with me.' That’s not how it works. Instead, he approaches seductively or confusingly, hoping you won't recognize the significance of your dreams, all in an effort to secure a covenant to manifest his agenda.

    Therefore, it’s essential to pay attention to your dreams. They offer valuable insight into the spiritual realm and the spirits we’re connected to through covenants, revealing plans from that realm. Keep in mind that the spiritual world is the foundation of our reality.

    Now that we understand the foundation of dreams and their purpose, how do we interpret them? We turn to Scripture. Every interpretation should be grounded in the Bible, which is why it's important to be familiar with it. Many people are tempted to Google their dreams, but that’s a bad idea. Most of those dream interpretation sites are rooted in New Age beliefs, psychic readings, mediums, or even witchcraft, which can distort the insights we receive in our dreams. By relying on those sources, we may unintentionally form covenants with the spirits behind them.

    Our dreams are often subjective and symbolic, reflecting familiar patterns in our lives. They draw on faces, locations, and situations we recognize. Let me break it down: just as God assigns angels to us, the devil sends familiar spirits to every bloodline with which they form covenants. These familiar spirits observe the patterns within that bloodline, collecting records to share with other spirits for future use. This is why, when the devil tries to secure an agreement—a covenant—through dreams, those dreams can be confusing or seductive. The enemy knows our patterns and those of our entire bloodline, including our likes, temptations, and weaknesses. They exploit our ignorance to advance their agenda.

    If you're not familiar with evil covenants or generational curses, I encourage you to check out the blog post titled The Reality of Generational Curses. It offers insights into dreams, explains why certain things happen to us, and helps you recognize the patterns—along with what you can do about them.

    Interpreting dreams is all about recognizing the symbols and actions that unfold within them. For example, let’s say you dream of running away from a vicious dog. The first step is to identify the symbols and actions: here, the symbols are the dog, and the action is running.

    Next, you might wonder why you’re running from the dog—likely because you feel it’s about to attack you. This brings us to the question of what the dog represents. Consider the characteristics of dogs in general, and if possible, think about the specific breed in your dream. This is how you start to decode your dream, ideally with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

    If you recognize the dog from your real life, it can also provide clues about where the potential threat might originate. Since dogs are often linked to sexual behavior, this dream could suggest a sexual attack or temptation.

   We should take our dreams seriously because they offer valuable insights into what’s on the horizon in our lives. We have the power to respond by either accepting or rejecting what we encounter in our dreams, often through prayer—and sometimes even through prayer and fasting. If the symbols in our dreams come from God, we should embrace them in our prayers. On the other hand, if they originate from the devil, we need to reject them in prayer, and at times, this may also call for fasting.

    Every dream from God aligns with Scripture and is typically very direct. Years before I truly committed to my faith, I frequently had dreams where I was protecting my family, children, and women. In those dreams, I possessed superhuman abilities to protect them fearlessly. I also often found myself feeding large groups of people and helping them. Additionally, I had numerous dreams about having many pairs of shoes, and I was always protecting them, as there were instances when they were threatened to be taken away. These dreams were from God, indicating my calling and purpose for Him.

    To put it simply, all dreams play an important role in your spiritual walk with God. Dreams are one of the ways God speaks to us, and they’re also how the spiritual realm communicates with us. God designed us with a spirit, body, and soul, allowing us to operate in both the spiritual and physical realms. As humans, we are the custodians of our world, responsible for what happens in it through the agreements we make, often revealed to us in our dreams.

    According to God’s design, spirits must secure an agreement with humans to operate in earthly matters. That’s why Jesus, who is God and a Spirit, had to be born as a man—so He could have a body to fulfill God’s Word on Earth. So, take your dreams seriously—they are a powerful tool that can guide you toward fulfilling your destiny.

Prayer

Prayer to Say Each Morning Upon Waking, Whether or Not You Recall or Understand Your Dreams.

Father, I thank You for the gift of dreams. If my dreams are from You, I come into full agreement with Your will, knowing that You have the best plan for my life according to Your purpose. But if these dreams are not from You, if they are from the enemy or demonically initiated, I first repent of all my sins—whether known or unknown, through my thoughts, words, and actions. I repent of every sin I have committed, both in the physical and spiritual (dream) realms. I also repent of any iniquities committed by my ancestors or anyone in my bloodline, as Your Word says, ‘Our ancestors have sinned and are no more, but we bear their iniquities’ (Lamentations 5:7).

I repent of all these sins, for Your Word says that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). In the name of Jesus, I cancel, break, reject, and renounce every evil agreement or covenant made in my dreams. By the authority I have in Jesus, I refuse to come into agreement with the enemy's plans—they shall not manifest in my life, in Jesus' name.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment, I condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The plans of the enemy will not stand, nor will they come to pass (Isaiah 7:7). For I am established in righteousness, and oppression is far from me (Isaiah 54:14). I am delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son, Jesus (Colossians 1:13).

Thank You, Father, for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Because of His sacrifice, I can boldly approach Your throne of grace to receive mercy (Hebrews 4:16). The blood of Jesus speaks better things for me than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24). I cover all that concerns me with the blood of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Shorter version

If my dreams are from You, I fully align myself with Your will. However, if these dreams are demonically initiated, I cancel, break, reject, and renounce every evil agreement or covenant made in my dreams. By the authority I have in Jesus, I refuse to agree with the enemy's plans—they shall not manifest in my life, in Jesus' name.

Prayer for When You Recognize the Symbols and Identify the Spirit

You spirit of (.....), I come against you in the name of Jesus. I rebuke you and condemn any confession of (……) I have made throughout my lifetime. In the name of Jesus, I repent, renounce, and reject any covenant I have forged, or that has been forged on my behalf, with the spirit of (……).
Father, I ask that You rain Your fire upon any altar raised against me to bring the spirit of (……) into my life and destroy it in the name of Jesus. Any man or woman serving this altar, cause their works to be destroyed, bring confusion among them, and make them flee seven different ways, in the name of Jesus.
You spirit of (…..), with the authority I have in Christ Jesus, I bind and cast every spirit of (…..) into the abyss or wherever the Lord Jesus sends them, in the name of Jesus.
A curse without a cause cannot alight (Proverbs 26:2b). We are no longer in business; this covenant has been broken. You no longer have the legal right to operate in my life. With the authority I have in Christ Jesus, I command you to get out of my life now, in the name of Jesus!  

Prayer for When You Forget Your Dream

Father, I come to You today seeking Your help in remembering my dreams. I don’t want to walk in ignorance or perish from a lack of knowledge, as Your word says in Hosea 4:6. Lord, please combat any spirits of forgetfulness, confusion, fatigue, and frustration that work against the knowledge You reveal to me in my dreams. Destroy every force attempting to steal the revelations You have released to me, in Jesus' name.

Your word says, "The memory of the just is blessed" (Proverbs 10:7), so I declare that my memory is indeed blessed and that I am able to recall my dreams. As Your word says, "death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:21), and "you will decree a thing, and it will be established" (Job 22:28), I decree that I will remember my dreams. Father, enlighten the eyes of my understanding (Ephesians 1:18) and grant me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding so that I may fully grasp the message You’re conveying to me in my dreams. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer for Personal Growth: Daily Scripture and Affirmations for Building Yourself

Prayer for Personal Growth: Daily Scripture and Affirmations for Building Yourself

This prayer is built on scriptures used as daily affirmations to speak to your spirit and remind you of the purpose God has had for you since the beginning of time. Ephesians 1:3 tells us that we have already been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places through Christ Jesus. In other words, before the world began, God equipped us with the blessings needed to fulfill our purpose. While these blessings may not be fully realized yet, we must activate them by speaking them into existence. As the Bible reminds us, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:21), and "If you decree a thing, it will be established" (Job 22:28).   

Scripture, the Word of God, is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). This means that the Word of God is alive; it speaks truth to your spirit, renewing your mind and transforming you. It changes your mentality and orientation, helping you perceive your world in light of the actual truth. This, in turn, alters your actions, bringing that truth to fruition.

Allow me to elaborate on what I meant when I said we must activate our blessings by speaking them into existence. When we do this, we are manifesting the Word that God has already spoken over our lives. Words carry energy; they are alive. As we consistently speak and affirm these words, they begin to reshape how we perceive our current situation, aligning our thoughts with the truth of God's Word. This shift in perception gives us the understanding needed to act, helping us move from where we are to where God intends us to be, making His truth a reality.

Remember the scripture in Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." This powerful verse reminds us that God’s will for our lives is filled with peace, purpose, a great future, and hope.

Additionally, the words we speak attract and orchestrate the circumstances necessary to bring about what we are declaring—this is a spiritual process. It is in these moments of revelation, those 'aha' moments, that our thoughts align with God’s truth and possibilities. This alignment provides us with clarity and a clear path to follow, empowering us to achieve the reality we are speaking into existence.

Let’s take a moment to talk about the spiritual process of declaring God’s Word, as explained in Isaiah 55:8-11. God reminds us that His thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. In fact, He emphasizes that just as the heavens are far higher than the earth—completely out of our reach—so are His ways and thoughts far beyond ours.

Then, to help us grasp this truth even more, God uses a vivid analogy. He compares His Word to rain and snow that fall from the heavens. Once they come down, they don’t return without first watering the earth, causing it to bud and produce fruit, providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater.

In the same way, God’s Word is life-giving. It waters the seeds He has already planted in us, helping us grow spiritually and be productive in our purpose, bearing fruit. Just like the natural process of rain nourishing the earth, God’s Word works with purpose and power, and it will never return to Him empty. Instead, it will always accomplish what He intended and prosper in what He sent it to do.

This passage reassures us that when we declare God’s Word over our lives, we’re speaking something that is alive, powerful, and guaranteed to produce results—just as God promised.

The Word of God operates on a cause-and-effect principle: when you follow His instructions, you unlock the results promised. As Galatians 6:7 says, "What you sow is what you reap." For example, when you give to the poor or those in need, God blesses you in return (Proverbs 14:31, Proverbs 22:9, Proverbs 28:27). Similarly, scripture teaches us that "If you don’t work, you don’t eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10) and "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). This shows that appropriately applying scripture in our daily lives is essential to receiving the blessings God has promised.

The Word of God is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105), offering guidance and direction for your life. God also invites us to remind Him of His promises (Isaiah 43:26), assuring us that His Word will not return void but will accomplish His will and prosper in its purpose (Isaiah 55:11). Moreover, He has exalted His Word above His name (Psalm 138:2). His Word stands as unshakable truth and law!

I share this to help you understand that when scripture is spoken consistently, it becomes alive within you and transforms your life, empowering you to fulfill your purpose. It starts by renewing your mind, helping you believe in what is possible, and then moves you to take action toward that goal. Don't underestimate the power of God's Word—it is described as a sword (Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17). Use it wisely and take full advantage of its strength.

This prayer, rooted in Scripture, covers purpose, growth, direction, prosperity, and favor, providing a comprehensive appeal for God's guidance and blessings.

Before beginning this prayer, here is a quick reminder: Always start with thanksgiving. Acknowledge the blessings you’ve received and the gift of life. It's equally important to seek repentance, as we are all in need of forgiveness.

Please read the blog before praying this prayer. It will give you a deeper understanding of the prayer, making it come alive and providing you with conviction and confidence in your prayer.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I'll thank you. This is a new day, and I shall rejoice and be glad in it (Psalms 118:24). I'll praise You and thank You for the gift of life and all that You have provided for me. You created my innermost being and knit me together in my mother’s womb. For as long as I have breath, I will praise You, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are marvelous, and my soul knows it well. Your eyes saw my unformed body, and every day of my life was written in Your book before a single one came to pass. Where can I escape from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? (Psalm 139:13-14, 16, 7). I am called by Your name and created for Your glory (Isaiah 43:7). Let Your will be fulfilled in my life.

Your word says, if I decree a thing, it shall be established in my life (Job 22:28), whatsoever I ask in the name of your son Jesus and I believe, I shall receive because I love and obey you (Matthew 21:22, John 15:7, 1 John 3:22) and in addition, you will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that I ask for or think (Ephesian 3:20). As the redeemed of the Lord, I decree all of Your promises over my life, in the name of Jesus.

Your Word commands us to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it (Genesis 1:28). I  come in agreement with Your Word and declare that I am fruitful, multiplying, replenishing, and subduing my world in the name of Jesus.

I declare that all things work together for my good because I love God and am called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). The Lord will perfect everything that concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of Your hands (Psalm 138:8). I will cry out to God Most High, the One who performs all things for me (Psalm 57:2). I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). You have declared the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure" (Isaiah 46:10). I am confident of this: that He who has begun a good work in me will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6). And, Father, You will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on You, and I trust in You (Isaiah 26:3). I come into agreement with Your Word, in Jesus' name. 

I decree my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). And God is able to make all grace abound toward me, that I, always having all sufficiency in all things, and have an abundance for every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8). For whoever seeks the Lord shall not lack any good thing (Psalm 34:10). Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon me and establish the work of my hands, yes! establish the work of my hands (Psalms 90:17). I call forth the spirit of increase, your word says, the Lord shall increase me, more and more, me and my children (Psalms 115:14). Therefore I call forth the spirit of increase in my finances and every area of my life. 

Wealth and riches are in my house and my righteousness endures forever (Psalms 112:3). I am the head and not the tail; above only and never beneath. I shall lend to many and never need to borrow (Deuteronomy 28:13, Deuteronomy 15:6). Because I delight in God's law and meditate on His law day and night, I shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; whatever I do shall prosper (Psalms 1:2-3). 

I will overcome all because greater is He that is in me than he is in the world (1 John 4:4). No weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgment, I condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The plans of the enemy shall not stand, nor shall they come to pass (Isaiah 7:7), In the name of Jesus. For I am established in righteousness and oppression is far from me (Isaiah 54:14). I am delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's dear son, Jesus (Colossians 1:13). 

Father, I come before You asking for Your guidance to the place where You have already secured my provisions. Your Word says that a man’s gift will make room for him and bring him before great men (Proverbs 18:16). I humbly ask that You lead me to the right path, direct me to the doors I should be knocking on for resources, so I won’t waste Your time or mine. Amplify my discernment, Lord, so I can recognize where and whom You are guiding me to for provision. Help me to clearly see my gifts, so they can open the doors needed to fulfill my destiny, In the name of Jesus. As Your Word says, “Unto the upright, there arises light in the darkness” (Psalms 112:4)

You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor, You will surround him as with a shield (Psalms 5:12). For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly (Psalms 84:11). And May I find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man (Proverbs 3:4). I invite the Spirit of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, the fear of the Lord, counsel, might, and fullness into my life, as spoken in Isaiah 11:2.

You are a covenant-keeping God! Father, I come in agreement with your words which will not return unto you void but it shall accomplish what you please and it shall prosper in the thing for which you sent it (Isaiah 55:11). And this is the confidence I have in the name of Jesus that I ask anything according to your will, lord you will hear me and that my joy may be full (1 John 5:14, John 16:24), In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
