Declaration of Faith to LEVEL UP Your Capacity to Believe God!

Father, You made plans for me before the world began.  I accepted Your Son Jesus as Lord.  I am now Born-Again.  Your Spirit lives in me.  Your Spirit reveals TO me the plans You made FOR me before I was born.  As He does, my job is to believe what You have spoken over me.  By Your grace, I am able to see the invisible and believe the impossible.  Nothing is impossible for You.  You live in me.  Therefore, nothing is impossible for me!  I LEVEL UP my faith in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

When you get a WORD FROM GOD, the first thing you When you get a WORD FROM GOD, the first thing you have to do is BELIEVE IT!  You will never get to the FAITH stage if you cannot get past the BELIEF stage! 

Remember this: 
* God calls you to do things you CANNOT DO!
* God calls you to do things ONLY HE CAN DO through you!
* Your part is to BELIEVE!

#IBelieveGod
God’s grace is contained in His Word. a) God s God’s grace is contained in His Word.

a)  God speaks words to us that reveal His thoughts about us.  When He does, we must realize that His power is contained in His words.  Said another way, when you receive a Word from God, you must realize that, at the same time, you also received the power to DO what God’s Word commanded.  No Word from God is without the ability to perform it!  God will never instruct you to do something He has not already equipped you to do!

b)  What the angel said to Mary was a human impossibility.  As a human, this CANNOT happen.  But Mary was receiving A WORD FROM GOD that it could happen.  The Word was calling her into the supernatural.  The Word was requiring her to SEE THE INVISIBLE and BELIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE!  Here is the key: the WORD CAME WITH THE POWER TO PERFORM IT!  Once again, No Word from God is without the ability to perform it!

c)  At first, Mary did not understand the Word.  Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen? I am still a virgin.” She was saying, “This is impossible.” But when the angel told her that her cousin, who was old, and who could not have children, was pregnant; and when the angel said, “God can do anything!”, Mary believed God!

When you get a WORD FROM GOD, you don’t have to DO it!  You just have to BELIEVE IT! 

If it comes from God, it will be BIGGER THAN YOU ANYWAY!  It will be BIGGER than your ability to perform. 

*** God calls you to do things you CANNOT DO!
*** God calls you to do things ONLY HE CAN DO through you!
*** Your part is to BELIEVE!

When Mary said, “Okay, be it unto me, according to what You have said!” As crazy as it sounds, a virgin got pregnant!  Why?  Because God spoke this over her life before she was born and she had the faith to SPEAK what God had SPOKEN!

*** Say what God said and you will SEE what God SAID in your life!

#Grace 
#GodsWord
God has already spoken some things over your life. God has already spoken some things over your life.

a)  I have already taught you, from many scriptures, that God made plans for you before the world began.  What God does now is reveal TO us what He had already prepared FOR us.  When He does this, it is our job to SEE what God is saying (seeing it in the Spirit), believe it in our heart (no matter how crazy or impossible it seems), declare it with our lips (by faith, speaking what God has spoken over us), and then launch out into this world, ready to perform the corresponding actions required in order to experience an earthly manifestation of what God revealed.  This is the life of faith.

b)  For Mary, what God revealed was that she had been selected to be the mother of our Lord.  She did nothing to earn or deserve this assignment.  Remember, the things of God are offered to us by grace.  Grace is unearned, unmerited, and undeserved.  So Mary did not have to do anything to work for what God was saying.  Her job, like our job, was simply to believe it!

c)  Make no mistake, God made plans for you before the world began.  He has already spoken over you.  As He reveals those things to you, your job is to say what He has already said; to openly declare what God has already decreed over your life!  Part of living the life of faith is speaking the language of faith.  Faith speaks what God reveals, even when there is no sense-realm evidence to support it.  Even at the risk of looking foolish! 

d)  When Mary said, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let this thing you have said happen to me,” she was saying what God had already said over her.  She was speaking what God had already declared.  As a result, when she spoke words of faith from a believing heart, she received what God was saying and she became pregnant in that moment.  Powerful things happen when your lips come in agreement with heaven; when you say what God has said over you.

Declaration of Faith to Say what God has Said Over You!

Father, I am a believer and not a doubter.  I walk by faith and not by fear. You made plans for me before the world began.  I was not aware of those plans. Your Spirit, who lives in me, reveals TO me what was prepared FOR me but concealed FROM me.  As He does, I believe it and receive it. And then, like Paul said, I believe, therefore I speak. I align my LIPS and my LEGS with what You revealed!  My LIPS declare what You reveal, and my LEGS pursue it by faith.  I then surround myself with people who will help me maintain my faith until I see what You said—this is why I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Declaration of Faith to Level Up Your Relationships!

Father, I thank You for teaching me the importance of being surround by the right people and the right input.  I know You have blessed me to be surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, and I am not in this race alone. However, I also understand that everyone who is with me is not for me.  I know that some people are dream-killers, so I thank You for blessing me to have the discernment to know who to share my dreams with, who to take with me into faith-fights, and who to surround myself with when the pressure is on.  Two are better than one, but only when both are in-faith.  So I declare, by faith, that You reveal to me who those people are and as I connect with them and they with me, together we will assist each other in striving to maximize our purposes and potential before we die!  I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Some people are holding you back, becoming a bless Some people are holding you back, becoming a blessing-blocker.

In Genesis 13:14-17, God told Abraham that he could have all the land he could SEE.  The nation of Israel was birthed in Abraham’s heart that day.  But it did not happen until he parted ways with Lot.  God refused to take Abraham to the level He did until Lot was no longer in the picture.

-- I can teach you about friendships, relationships, and associations from a human perspective.  But there is also a spiritual component.  If you are Born-Again, there is an anointing on you.  This is God’s hand on your life.  Others have their own anointing.  Some are not anointed by God.  Some are clearly influenced by satan.  In either case, there is something “ON” you and something “ON” them.  When you connect with someone in a close relationship, there is a spiritual connection beyond the natural one.  If you are not careful and connect with the wrong people, they will negatively influence you because you have made a spiritual connection you were never supposed to make.

-- Lot was part of Abraham’s inner circle.  There were some things God wanted to say to Abraham that He would not say until he and Lot parted ways.  God knew that Lot could not handle what was coming next, so the Lord led Abraham to break off the relationship.

-- You may have some people in your life right now who cannot handle what God is doing in you, and they certainly cannot handle what God wants to do NEXT.  God knows that if He blesses you and shifts you to the next level right now, while you still have them around you, they will cause you more problems than good.  So God will literally WITHHOLD your blessing until you distance yourself from them. 

-- You crossed over into 2021, and you believe God is ready to take you to NEW LEVELS, but you have to pray about those around you.  It could be that you have people around you who were NOT supposed to cross over into 2021 with you.  If that’s the case, God knows that if He takes you to NEW LEVELS right now, they won’t be able to handle it, and they will cause you problems while you try to make progress. 

This is all part of LEVELING UP!

#TheGraceLife
At some point, you may have to acknowledge the fac At some point, you may have to acknowledge the fact that you and some of your friends are going down divergent paths. 

Abraham and Lot had to part ways.  Not only was Lot NOT supposed to be with Abraham, but his people were causing problems with Abraham’s people.  The Blessing on Abraham was spilling over to Lot and Lot’s camp, and Lot did not know how to handle it.  It became clear to Abraham that the road God was leading him down did not include Lot.  Lot had his own road, his own path to destiny.  So there came the point when they needed to part ways. 

-- One of the hardest things for people to do (especially people who love people), is to acknowledge the fact that you and your friends are going down different paths. 

-- If the goal is to grow and mature, we must acknowledge the fact that you cannot grow without changing.  When you grow/change/evolve, some of your friends will be able to acknowledge it and support it, while others may not.  Those who can support what God is doing in your life are most often those who are also growing in God.  Because they are growing, changing, and evolving, they can see the same in you, and while God may be taking you down different paths, you can still be there for one another and support one another.  While you go your separate ways, you still support one another, and the distance/divergence does not become a problem.

-- -- Everyone can’t handle what God is doing in your life.  Lot was not mature enough to acknowledge the fact that he was only blessed because of Abraham.  He was not humble enough to honor Abraham and The Blessing that was on his life.  As a result, the two camps needed to part ways.

-- In this season, as you seek to level up in your relationships, I pray you are led by the Holy Spirit in this area.  I pray your friends can support the growth you are experiencing and that you can do the same for them.  But just remember that some people (even family members and people you called “friends”) will resent your success because of their insecurities.

Declaration of Faith to Level Up Your Relationships!

Father, I thank You for the relationships You have blessed me with. I have people around me who believe in me, support me, and celebrate me as I grow in You.  If there is ever someone around me who I with me, but not for me, I thank You for giving me the courage to pull back from them.  As I pull back, You are able to shift me forward.  I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  I surround myself with the right people, and I experience the right things.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Can you SEE It? -- If you can’t SEE IT, you can Can you SEE It?

-- If you can’t SEE IT, you can’t BE IT!

-- If you can’t SEE IT, you can’t HAVE IT!

-- If you can’t SEE (by faith) what God is attempting to give you (by grace), you run the risk of missing out on God’s best.

-- God speaks to you about the plans He made for your future, but you must mix faith with what you hear.

-- Your ability to SEE Spiritually will dictate what you are able to release your faith for, and what you are able to receive from God.

(2 Cor 4:18)
The Apostle Paul said, “We focus our eyes on what we cannot see, not what we see.  What we see lasts only a short time, and what we cannot see will last forever.”

-- We are supposed to spend time looking at things we can see that are beyond our physical eye’s ability to look. 

-- In the Spirit, we can see into eternity, from time, and come back equipped to live informed by that revelation. 

-- In the Spirit, we can see into heaven, from the earth, and come back to LIVE OUT what we saw!

-- The Father wants you to see yourself becoming the person you were born to be, doing what you were born to do, all for His glory.

-- Your capacity to believe either releases God TO, or restricts God FROM, moving in your life.

-- Once God reveals His plans for your life, your part is to accept and fully embrace the grace to become the man/woman God planned.  But you must be able to SEE YOURSELF in the Spirit. 

* Your life will change drastically the day you believe what God believes about you!

Declaration of Faith to SEE What God Planned for Your Life!

Father, I have finally arrived at the point where I believe what You believe about me!  I am who You say I am.  I can do what You say I can do.  I am the person You birthed me to be.  I walk in my divine assignment.  Nothing and no one can stop me, because I believe what You believe.  I can see what You see.  And since I can SEE IT, it is only a matter of time before I BE IT!  You reveal Your plans to me, I behold the glory for my life, and I become what I behold!  But I also understand that I will never SEE Your fullness if my sight is clouded by the wrong relationships.  This is why I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

When you are around the wrong people, the wrong th When you are around the wrong people, the wrong things happen.

Since Lot was with Abraham and The Blessing was on Abraham, Lot got blessed to (by association). As a result, they had TOO MUCH STUFF!  The land could not handle all of their livestock.  In the midst The Blessing, their shepherds began to argue, and it was causing a rift between the two camps.

We have already established the fact that Lot was not supposed to be there.  But since he was, Abraham was dealing with a problem he could have easily avoided.

-- When you are outside the will of God, especially when it comes to relationships, you will find yourself in situations God never ordained for you to deal with.

-- You will then have to deal with problems you could have avoided, and these problems create self-inflicted wounds.

-- Life is much easier when you are led by the Holy Spirit in all things.  You will still face problems, but they will be the problems God already prepared you to deal with.  Instead of the problems you created on your own.

-- As you seek to level up your relationships in 2021, please level up your commitment to be disciplined enough to ONLY connect with those God leads you to connect with!

Declaration of Faith for Confidence in God! 

Father, You are ON me, IN me, WITH me, and FOR me!  My confidence is in You and You alone.  I appreciate those You have ordained to be in my life.  I also know that some people are with me for a season and not a lifetime.  When it is time for those people to go, I will speak LIFE and BLESSING over them.  But I will not be moved by the fact that their season in my life is over because my season WITH YOU will never be over.  Understanding this, I can I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

While it is natural to want to take people with yo While it is natural to want to take people with you, God’s plans for you don’t always include those around you.

We are first introduced to Abraham (known as Abram at the time), with this statement, “Leave your country and your people. Leave your father’s family and go to the country that I will show you.” As we can see in Genesis 12, when Abraham left Haran, Lot went with him.

The text does not say that Abraham took Lot.  It just says, “So Abram left Haran just like the Lord said, and Lot went with him.  Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.” Whether Abraham asked Lot to come or not, the point is that he allowed it, even though God clearly told him to leave his father’s family behind.

God made it clear to Abraham that HE had plans for him.
-- He would make of Abraham a great nation. 
-- He was going to bless Abraham and make his name famous.
-- Abraham’s name would be so powerful that it would be used to bless others.
-- These plans DID NOT include Lot.

a)  As much as we love and appreciate those around us, we must discern the difference between what God is telling us ABOUT US and what has planned for THEM.

b)  Don’t allow your desire to be “nice” to cause you to be disobedient to God.  Do what God said, the way He said to do it!

c)  Leveling up in your relationships does NOT mean you have to make concessions for people who are not supposed to go on the journey with you.

d)  There are some places God will call you to go that the people around you right now are simply not called to go. 

e)  You will never maximize where you are going if you are trying to bring along people who are not anointed for the ride.

f)  Appreciate those around you and thank God for every person He has placed in your life.  But just remember that they have their own destiny.  The greatest way to support one another is to honor what God is doing in each other.  You don’t have to be them and they don’t have to be you.  If you can celebrate what God is doing in them and they do the same for you, you can provide mutual support without derailing each other from your destinies.

Daily Declarations! Declaration of Faith Connect Daily Declarations!

Declaration of Faith Connect with People Who Can Handle What God is Doing in Your Life!

Father, I thank You for revealing to me Your divine plans for my life.  You made plans for me before I was born.  Once I was Born-Again, the Holy Spirit began to reveal TO ME what You prepared FOR ME but was concealed FROM ME.  The more You reveal, the more I walk in my calling and the more impact You make through me, on this planet, for Your glory.  My story includes others.  You have called me to connect with certain people.  But not everyone can go with me.  I have the discipline to only allow those You have called to be in my inner circle to connect with me on that level.  You surround me with people who can handle my anointing and The Blessing You have placed on my life.  I support them, and they support me.  And I refuse to allow my emotions to cause me to bring someone along who is not graced to go on the ride with me.  I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Declaration of Faith to Make the Most of Your Relationships 

Father, I will fill all the roles I need to fill in my life.  I will have people who pour into me, and I open myself to their input.  I thank You for giving me favor with people to fill all the roles you need to be filled in my life, and I will make myself worthy of the investment.  I will then take what You pour into me and pour it into others.  I will invest in others the way You sent people to invest in me.  I honor every relationship, and I now better understand that I could never experience Godly success alone.  I need others, and they need me.  I LEVEL UP my relationships in 2021.  GREATER IS COMING FOR ME!  I declare this by faith!  In Jesus’ name.  Amen.
