Declaration
A new will to seek the Will of God and the presence of God is being birthed within me. I declare my sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is being increased, I am becoming more aware of every way the Lord has already made, every door the Lord has already opened, and what the Lord is doing right now.
I welcome sanctification to take root and work on my mind, will, emotions, and character. I will respond, react, and resolve from a settled place. I receive a new grace to handle inconveniences, problems, and seasons of waiting.
I release clarity and strength over my spiritual sight for every season. I will see and submit to every window of blessing, every window of instruction, every window of warning, and every window of resource.
I break every covenant I have made knowingly and unknowingly with the spirit, the agenda, and any cycle of delay. I decree and declare there shall be no more unnecessary delay, no more missed opportunities nor procrastination. By faith I place myself and my family under the divine timing of God. In Jesus name we speak for divine connections, appointments, opportunities, occurrences and encounters to manifest in our lives.
I decree and declare God is redeeming the time wasted, lost, or misused. I speak another level of preparedness over my life! And I put a demand on new chances to be released.
I confess that my heart is being healed from the fear of failure, embarrassment, and let down!
By faith I receive new growth in hope and expectation. New things are springing up and I shall know it!
The blessing of the Lord is springing up out of areas I lost hope. The blessing of the Lord is springing up out of dreams I forgot about.
I decree and declare that the Lord’s good treasure is open to me. By the power of Jesus Christ, I bind bitterness and I loose a second wind. I bind insignificance and I loose confidence. I bind drought and I loose overflow. I bind every lie of the enemy and I loose the truth of Holy Spirit. I bind the spirit of confusion and loose the power to make healthy decisions.
I receive a pure discernment for every door. I receive a fresh anointing for every new space and atmosphere that is being released to me. I shall live at the pace of and in alignment with God’s intentions!
Like a flood, the spirit of the Lord is raising up a standard for me and everyone connected to me.
I boldly confess that hard things are becoming easier. I prophetically declare that God has equipped me for any war-fare surrounding my effective doors. This fast is giving me the advantage to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I will, I shall, and I must keep the window open!
