I believe and confess that the name of the Lord is my source of constant victory. Every satanic opposition which comes against me is frustrated in the name of the Lord. Every attempt of the enemy to alter the word of God in my life is nullified in the name of Jesus. For the Lord causes me to be free from every satanic activity. The Lord gives me freedom form the stronghold of the enemy.
I believe and confess that the strongholds of the Satan against the life of my family and friends is nullified in the name of Jesus. Every seed, every planting that is not of God is uprooted in the name of Jesus. I uproot every seed of discord which the enemy is sowing in my life, work and church. The evil seed sown by the enemy shall not grow. I speak boldly against every seducing spirit and I declare my victory over them. I reject every attempt of the enemy to draw me into his lies. I cancel and nullify the spirit of worry and doubt sent to torment my mind.
By faith, I untie the cords of Satan that have been woven around people who come my way. I loose them in the name of Jesus. By faith, I cast out every spirit of deception that tries to work on me, lure me away from the purpose and plan of God. I cast down every imagination and every lie that comes from the pit of hell. Every demonic squatter sent around my life is dispersed and destroyed in the name of Jesus. The spirit of lunacy, palsy, depression and evil is commanded to leave in the name of Jesus. I boldly confess that the Lord is turning every blow of Satan to a blessing. God is casting down every lie the enemy is trying to sell to my mind in the name of Jesus. I exercise my legal right as revealed in the word against every weapon of Satan. I come against the enemy in the name of Jesus and declare my total victory.
I boldly confess that no weapon of the enemy will be effective against me for the power of the spirit of God in me rises against every lie of the enemy. By faith, I thank the Lord for the redemptive and protective power in the blood of Jesus and therefore declare that every stronghold of the enemy be dislodged because
I am blessed and highly favoured
"I spend my life to know & I'm far from close to all You are,the greatness of our God"

Crimson stain.. Washed White as Snow...
"Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow."
.. Have you ever Really thought about the words in this song?.....
HE--The God of the universe. My Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, Rewarded, Rebuilder, Restorer, Maker all things new, Deliverer. My Father, Best Friend, Author of Salvation, Air I Breathe, Everything I know to be GOOD and TRUE. HE did it. HE took my sins away. Not MY efforts. Not MY works. Not my family. Not my best friend back home. Not a song that gives me chills. Not a TV show or magazine add that made me feel better or worse about myself. Not my good grades or social status. HE DID IT. I DIDN'T DESERVE IT. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO. BUT HE DID. HE did.
WASHED-- I LOVE the smell of just-cleaned clothes. I love the feel of just-out-of-the-dryer jeans and socks (in the winter...not so much in the blazing heat). I love knowing that the events of yesterday (the chocolate smudge on my jeans; the coffee I spilled on my shirt in the car; my socks that smelled from running) but there is no remaining evidence that they ever existed in my yesterday. They are gone. They've been scrubbed out. Rinsed out. And given a clean start to (inevitably) happen again. He WASHED my junk out. He-the God of the universe-took my DIRTY stains and gave me a brand NEW shirt. A NEW pair of socks to run in today. He knows the patterns of life that will again turn me away from His pure gift, but He does my laundry anyway.
IT--Sin. MY sin. The JUNK. The unforgivable. The things hidden in the secret places that I think no one else knows about. But He knows. And He forgives. He still chooses to take IT. My garbage. The box that I put Him in. The lack of trust. The worrying. The pride. The word. The thoughts. The actions. MY dumpster of rebellion and unbelief.
WHITE--Such a pretty color. :) I always thought those people who answered the question, "what is your favorite color" with "WHITE" were boring and not very risky. I mean come on...white? But now I think they were on to something. White is just a happy color to me. No spots or lines or worrying if it matches. PURE. Simple. CLEAN. I have this thing where every time I sort of "start over" and recommit to something I always go by a new notebook or journal. It's a new beginning. Clean pages for a NEW story, with a different ending-hopefully a better one that takes me a little farther than before.. a little closer to the goal...until I realize it's time to wipe the slate clean and try again. A new canvas for the artist to create a masterpiece.
AS--A comparison word. I almost skipped this word because please, it's like 2 letters and exists simply serves its grammatical purpose in completing the sentence. But then I started thinking about the meaning of comparing us to the next word seen below, and realized that this word "as" has more meaning than I thought. "White AS snow". Not ALMOST as white as snow. Not ALMOST pure and beautiful. Not ALMOST a clean slate. WHITE AS SNOW. PERIOD. The whole shebang. All of IT. GONE. HE makes us perfect and worthy. HE calls us into His own. He chose you. He chose me. In our darkest, dirtiest, most weak and pitiful state. And He washed us as white as snow.
SNOW--I love New York in January after the snow has fell in central park I love how PURE everything looks. How PEACEFUL. How that fresh blanket of snow angel fun is so inviting as it beckons me to come and play play like when I was a child and had no worries or fears--just complete delight in my surroundings. God invites us into the same purity as that of his perfect Son. To delight in everything that He is and surrounds us with. To be at peace with and in Him. To be beautiful because of Him. To be WASHED as WHITE as SNOW

Stay w/ God..
Sometimes there's just no need to add your own two cents...
"...with Him on my side I'm fearless,
afraid of no one and nothing...
...I'm asking God for one thing,
only one thing;
To live with Him in his house
my whole life long.
I'll contemplate His beauty;
I'll study at His feet.
That's the only quiet, secure place in a noisy world,
The perfect getaway,
far from the buzz of traffic.
God holds me head and shoulders
above all who try to pull me down.
I'm headed for His place to offer anthems
that will raise the roof!
Already I'm singing God-songs;
I'm making music to God...
...Point me down your highway, God;
direct me along a well-lighted street;
show my enemies whose side you're on...
...I'm sure now I'll see God's goodness
in the exuberant earth.
Stay with God!
Take heart. Don't quit.
I'll say it again:
Stay with GOD."
from Psalm 27, The Message

Disturb me
Disturb me for the one whose given up
For the one who’s perseverance has run out
Disturb me for the heart that knows no love
That looks everywhere else to find their worth
..I'm still amazed
At how you've changed, me..
Disturb me for the one who lives in chains
For the one who’s captive in the prison of their shame
Disturb me as a former prisoner of despair
Whose warden was her own jealousy and fear
Burden me so I can see your heart
That my hunger might be for something more
Teach me how to serve
With words of grace and hands of love
I long to feel the dust around your feet
Disturb me
It shakes me to my roots
That people might have turned from you
Because of what they’ve seen inside of me
Or didn't see...
Burden me so I can see your heart
That my hunger might be for something more
Teach me how to serve
With words of grace and hands of love
I long to feel the dust around your feet
Disturb me...
For the one who’s perseverance has run out
Disturb me for the heart that knows no love
That looks everywhere else to find their worth
..I'm still amazed
At how you've changed, me..
Disturb me for the one who lives in chains
For the one who’s captive in the prison of their shame
Disturb me as a former prisoner of despair
Whose warden was her own jealousy and fear
Burden me so I can see your heart
That my hunger might be for something more
Teach me how to serve
With words of grace and hands of love
I long to feel the dust around your feet
Disturb me
It shakes me to my roots
That people might have turned from you
Because of what they’ve seen inside of me
Or didn't see...
Burden me so I can see your heart
That my hunger might be for something more
Teach me how to serve
With words of grace and hands of love
I long to feel the dust around your feet
Disturb me...

(Zephaniah 3:17) I will never stop doing good to you. (Jeremiah 32:40) For you are My treasured possession. (Exodus 19:5) I desire to establish you with all My heart, and all My soul. (Jeremiah 32:41) And I want to show you great and marvelous things. (Jeremiah 33:3) If you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me.
