Today We Bless Ourselves

I am alive by Jehovah’s decree.

I will stay alive and be active and productive.

My life will be full of good works so that when Jehovah decrees my time is up I will not linger nor languish, but have treasures to lay at the Master’s feet.

It will be a life well lived!

I bless myself in Jesus’ Name!”

INCREASE into the atmosphere. Miracles increase… increase unlike anything we have ever seen or experienced before!

I declare that the Word of the Lord is sure and true. It is the final authority.

Whatever it says is a revelation of God’s mind. It reveals His feelings and His unlimited ability.

 There are two words I want to leave with you today—BELIEVE and EXPECT!
