Owning my Christ identity!

"Father God, when you entered my heart, I became a new creation!"

Today, I own that truth and the power of Your Spirit in my life.

"No matter how much my past has affected me, I know that I do not have to repeat sinful patterns. Father, you are mighty and victorious in my life! Put to death any offensive way in me and revive me! Heal my heart, Lord! God, I do not want to carry any behavior" (anger, jealousy, bitterness, unforgiveness, lust, greed, malice, envy, insecurity, or strife) from any moment of my past into my future (this year, this month, this week, this day, this hour, this minute or this next second).

"Renew my heart and mind, that I may create a different kind of life for myself and my family (my wife and children). Help me to leave a legacy of love [and hope] , that will carry on for many generations."

God, you are the God of redemption and freedom and beauty! In Jesus' name, I own my identity as your forgiven and saved son. Let me walk in the light and life you proclaimed for me and over me. Amen!
