Blessed are you, O Lord our GOD, supreme and sovereign King of the Universe. Blessed be your
Holy Name, blessed be your Holy Son, Lord Jesus our saviour; and blessed be your Holy Spirit my
advocate, my helper. Blessed and Holy O Lord, are your works, your kingdom, your chosen and
anointed one’s. Dear Lord, bless this meal that we receive out of thy bounty, thy abundance. Bless us,
too. May your word bring health to our body and strength to our bones. May our eyes be undimmed
and may our vigour be unabated. Dear Lord, make my days useful, my nights restful, my home
peaceful and my efforts fruitful. GOD is my Father, Jesus my saviour, the Holy Spirit my helper
and Heaven is my home. In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Thank you, Father. Thank
you, Lord.
Hallelujah to the lamb of God. Give the Lord praise in the house of God.
Heavenly Father, hear our prayer. In the name of Jesus, in faith believing we bind the prince of
darkness that we may have liberty, peace and prosperity in our nation. Let a spiritual awakening
come to our nation. Let us experience a starburst of the amazing light and grace of the gospel. Let
corruption be exposed. Let criminals and liars be driven out from public office. Let GOD arise and let
his enemies be scattered. let those that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive
them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the
righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice. In the mighty name
of Lord Jesus Christ, I pray.. Amen.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I confess your word concerning healing, As I do this, I believe and say
that your word will not return void, but will accomplish what it says it will Therefore I believe in the
name of Jesus that I am being healed as I hear the word of God. It is written in your word that Jesus
himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, therefore with great boldness and confidence I
say on the authority of the written word of God that I am redeemed from the curse of sickness and I
refuse to tolerate its symptoms.
Satan, I speak to you in the name of Jesus and say that your principalities and powers, your spirits of
darkness and your spiritual wickedness in heavenly places are bound from operating against me in
any way. I am the property of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a child of God and I give you no place in
me. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. I abide, I remain stable and fixed under the
shadow of the Almighty. His power is in me and no foe can withstand me.
Now, Father, because I reverence and worship you, I have the assurance of your word that the angel
of the Lord encamps round about me and delivers me from every evil work. No evil shall befall me No
plague nor calamity shall come near my dwelling. I confess that the word of God abides in me and
produces in me perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit, from the deepest parts of
my nature in my immortal spirit, even to the joints and marrow of my bones. That the word of God is
medication and life to my flesh, for the law of the spirit of life operates in me and makes me free from
the law of sin and death.
I have on the whole armor of God and the shield of faith protects me from all the fiery darts of the
wicked one. Jesus is my high priest who hears my confession and I hold fast to this confession of faith
through the word of God. I stand immovable and fixed and I full assurance that I have health and
healing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that my healing has been purchased through the blood
of Jesus Christ and that as I hear these healing scriptures, the anointing power of the Lord is being
released into my life to bring me divine health.”
OVERCOME YOUR FEAR – T.B. Joshua
Exodus 14:13 – “Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the
deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
When Moses said, “Don’t be afraid”, he equally meant to say, “Overcome your fear” for fear is a
thief of faith and hope. When our troubles seem unyielding to our prayers, it is in our own interest to
get above our fear by leaving it to God. Don’t think of saving yourself by fighting a natural battle!
‘Be still’, means, ‘be calm, confident and determined’. God does not need our effort or assistance to
carry out His promises of deliverance.
PRAYER POINTS:
Lord, let the enemy see Your finger in my life, get frustrated and surrender, because You have set a
table before me in the presence of my enemy.
Lord give me the grace to always cast my burdens upon thee, as Moses did in his encounter with the
Egyptian army at the Red Sea.
Lord, in my encounter with the evil forces, teach me the way I should go as You did for the Israelites
at the Red Sea.
Save me from the wicked plans of my adversaries as You did for Daniel in the lions’ den.
Deliver me from every generational curse as You did for Jabez.
Lord, give me power to face all the challenges of the enemy, in the name of Jesus.
I loose myself from the bondage of fear, in the mighty name of Lord Jesus’ Amen!
Now as I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake I pray to
GOD my soul to take. If I should live for other days, I pray the Lord to guide my ways.
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up
conflict in the community.
2 Chronicles 7:14, we're taught to be humble and repent when seeking the Lord. "If my people who
are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is
being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of
glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are
unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to strengthen
those heart is true to him.
Psalm 103 "Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, my
soul, and forget not all His benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who
redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires
with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagles."
2 Timothy 3: 1-5 But mark this, that in the last days there will come terrible times. For people will
be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous,
reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of
godliness, but denying its power. Avoid and have nothing to do with such people.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise
him up at the last day.
Psalm 3: 7-8 Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you have shattered the teeth of the wicked. Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be upon your
people!
Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we
preached to you, let him be accursed.

“It is not easy to find a name that will suitably express so great an excellence, unless it is better to
speak in this way:
The Trinity, one God, of whom are all things, through whom are all things, in whom are all things.
Thus, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and each of these by Himself, is God, and at the
same time They are all one God; and each of Them by Himself is a complete substance, and yet They
are all one substance.
The Father is not the Son nor the Holy Spirit; the Son is not the Father nor the Holy Spirit; the Holy
Spirit is not the Father nor the Son: but the Father is only Father, the Son is only Son, and the Holy
Spirit is only Holy Spirit. To all Three belong the same eternity, the same unchangeableness, the same
majesty, the same power.
In the Father is unity, in the Son equality, in the Holy Spirit the harmony of unity and equality. And
these three attributes are all one because of the Father, all equal because of the Son, and all
harmonious because of the Holy Spirit.”
— Augustine of Hippo

me from you. Heal my memory, heal my heart, heal my emotions, heal my spirit, heal my body and
heal my soul. Lay Your hands gently upon me and Heal me through Your love for me. Amen.

which it will come. I trust in You to send me a sign. Teach me dear Lord to know wonder. And, if
You are willing, I am waiting, ready to receive my miracle today. Amen.

Worthy, Glorious, Almighty in power and we claim victory today in Your name. Send Your mightiest
warriors to fight this battle for us. Lord, to You the darkness shines as bright as the day. Shine Your
light upon us, free us, give us peace, and snatch us back from the enemy’s grip. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I feel like giving up. Help me to remember the reason I began. Help me to see the
purpose behind Your plan. Provide the necessary grace. Keep me set upon Your face, to find strength
for the next step, to discover faith to keep trying and to believe that miracles are possible today and in
all circumstances. Amen.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Every tongue that rises against me I condemn

He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,
And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

Christ?
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory
through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].
How can I talk bondage when the Bible says in John 8:36 that the Son has set me free?
So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting (avenging) the iniquity (sin, guilt) of the
fathers upon the children and the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations [that is, calling the
children to account for the sins of their fathers].”

Proverbs 4:20–22
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all
their flesh.
John 10:10 (NASB): “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have
life, and have it abundantly.”
Lord, as You know, I am facing some stiff attacks upon my health and well-being. I now
see the need to pray more forcefully, invoking the name of Jesus in my battle against the
enemy. I commit myself to pray in this way in the days, weeks and months ahead.
I will also move forward in faith at Your direction. Please give me wisdom and
guidance in what to do and how to do it. If there is a specific step I need to take, I am
willing to take it, Lord. If there is someone I need to forgive, a behaviour pattern I need
to change, a spiritual adjustment I need to make, please show it to me. In response, I
will take that step in obedience to You, Lord.
Now I want to make a strong declaration. In the name of Jesus, I release myself
from the enemy’s attacks upon my physical well-being. In the name of Jesus, I receive
the healing and health that is God’s provision for me and for my loved ones. I stand
now in the freedom from sickness that Jesus purchased for me on the cross. In the name
of Jesus, I am healed. Amen.
Dear Friend,
Are you and your loved ones experiencing physical ailments? Do you feel like your health is under
attack from the enemy? Is illness dogging your steps, robbing you and those whom you love of
vitality and productivity?
Attacks upon our physical health are a primary strategy Satan uses to discourage us and deter us
from fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. But how do we counteract such attacks? What weapons
can we use to fight back against the enemy and his attempts to put us on the sidelines through physical
impairment?
I hope what we share will encourage you in whatever health challenges you face—as we focus in
this letter on healing in Jesus’ name.
A Key Ingredient
You may be saying to yourself, “Isn’t this a pretty basic principle? Everyone knows that
miraculous healing only comes to us in the name of Jesus.” I agree completely. However, let me share
how the Lord brought a renewed appreciation of this wonderful truth.
Prior to one of our recent staff prayer gatherings, my thoughts were focused on a desperate healing
need facing the sister of one of our employees. This brave woman had been undergoing chemotherapy
to treat the cancer attacking her—and we had been praying regularly for her. As I reflected on all she
had been facing, an unbidden thought crossed my mind: “Her healing will come as you pray for her in
the name of Jesus.”
When I shared this impression with the staff, we focused our time of worship on “the name of
Jesus,” and then carried that emphasis into our corporate intercession for her. All I can say is that
when we shifted to that focus, there was an added, palpable sense of victory as we prayed anew in the
name of Jesus.
Beyond Human Ability
This theme of the unique healing power of Jesus’ name is illustrated by a dramatic incident from
Acts 3. As Peter and John were about to enter the temple, they encountered a beggar who had been
lame from birth. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Peter said to this man, “Silver and gold I do
not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (v.
6).
The result of that proclamation was immediate and powerful. This man who had once been a lame
beggar began “…walking, leaping and praising God” (v. 8). When Peter was later questioned about
the healing miracle, he responded with these words: “Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or
why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?….It is the name of
Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know, and the faith which comes through
Him [Jesus] has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all” (vv. 12, 16, NASB).
Dispelling any tendency to credit human ability with the healing, Peter instead cited one factor—
and one factor only—that brought it about: the name of Jesus.
Take a moment now and consider this incident from Acts 3 in light of the health battles you have
been fighting. Could specific, concerted prayer in the name of Jesus be a missing element? Might this
be a factor that could make a significant difference in your situation?
A Step of Faith
Derek Prince taught extensively about God’s desire to heal us and bring us into consistent good
health. In most of those teachings, including the excerpt below from Derek’s message, “Gifts of
Healing and Working of Miracles,” a step of faith on our part is required.
Then in Acts 3:2–8 we have the miracle of the man who was born lame and never had walked. He
was sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, saw Peter and John coming, and stretched out his hand
expecting to receive an offering. Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I
unto thee.”
Of course, we have to recognize one thing: you can’t give it if you don’t have it. The trouble with
so many of us today is we don’t have much to give. But Peter said, “I don’t have silver, and I don’t
have gold; but what I do have I will give you. In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk.” The man was
still sitting there, and Peter stretched out his hand and lifted him up. When the man began to rise up,
he was healed.
It is most important to see that people very rarely receive anything by just sitting passively. To sit
still is to die. You have to do something to exercise your faith. Faith without works, without
corresponding acts, is dead.
I have learned again and again that the crucial point in a miracle is getting the person to do the
little act that starts their faith moving. It may be something simple. It may be something ridiculous. It
doesn’t much matter what it is in many cases. But the moment they begin to act, things begin to
happen.
Peter did not allow the man just to sit there, simply saying to him, “You’re healed.” But he [Peter]
started to lift him up, and as the man responded, in that moment of acting, the supernatural power of
God straightened out those ankles and legs.
A Beginning Proclamation
Are you willing to take the initial step of faith Derek talked about? Although there is no guarantee
of immediate results, you and I probably won’t see any outcome without taking a step of faith, will
we? Something may happen instantaneously—and that would be wonderful. Or, it may take a while to
see results. Either way, let’s begin the process today.
If you are ready to take a step of faith, let’s make the following declaration together:
Lord, as You know, I am facing some stiff attacks upon my health and well-being. I now see the
need to pray more forcefully, invoking the name of Jesus in my battle against the enemy. I commit
myself to pray in this way in the days, weeks and months ahead.
I will also move forward in faith at Your direction. Please give me wisdom and guidance in what
to do and how to do it. If there is a specific step I need to take, I am willing to take it, Lord. If there is
someone I need to forgive, a behavior pattern I need to change, a spiritual adjustment I need to make,
please show it to me. In response, I will take that step in obedience to You, Lord.
Now I want to make a strong declaration. In the name of Jesus, I release myself from the enemy’s
attacks upon my physical well-being. In the name of Jesus, I receive the healing and health that is
God’s provision for me and for my loved ones. I stand now in the freedom from sickness that Jesus
purchased for me on the cross. In the name of Jesus, I am healed. Amen.
A New Understanding
It’s possible that this may be the first time you have specifically incorporated the name of Jesus in
your prayers for healing and health. On the other hand, this letter may have simply served as a helpful
reminder of a truth you already firmly believe—putting it into practice with renewed fervor. Either
way, we want to thank you for taking this step of faith today. Our hope is it that it will yield
wonderful fruit in your life.
As always, we want to stand with you in your renewed commitment to pray in this powerful way.
Solid teaching will help enormously—and here at Derek Prince Ministries, we have an abundance to
make available to you. To start, we want to offer you the complete message from which Derek’s
excerpt was drawn: the teaching entitled “Gifts of Healing and Working of Miracles.” It is packed
with comprehensive wisdom and truth, and it is yours; just use the download link below.
How are we are able to continue providing Derek Prince’s helpful materials to so many? It is
possible because of the generous prayers and financial gifts of the people who have been touched by
this ministry. We are incredibly thankful to all who are standing with us in this way, and we send our
love and blessings for your support.
Put It into Practice
In the weeks and months ahead, the commitment you have made today may be put to the test. Jesus
said it so clearly in John 10:10 (NASB): “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came
that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” Whenever you and I take any step of faith, Satan is
right there to oppose us and discourage us.
Though the enemy will do his utmost to poison your health and steal your vitality, we can resist
him. How? By turning our full attention to Jesus, trusting completely in the One who has promised to
provide us with life in abundance—and that includes robust health.
How do we incorporate these principles into everyday life? By regularly declaring, proclaiming
and praying in the name of Jesus. And when it comes to any sickness and physical oppression the
enemy would try to place upon us, we actively fight against it, choosing and proclaiming the abundant
health Jesus promises to give us.
At all times, and especially when the enemy tries to bring an attack upon our physical well-being,
we claim what has been promised to us as believers—healing in Jesus’ name!
All the best,

1 Cor 15: 1-5 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which
you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold
firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I
passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that
he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to
Cephas, and then to the Twelve.
ON PRAYER
How not to pray:
Mat 6:5-8 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their
reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is
unseen. Then you’re Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do
not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do
not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
What is prayer?
1. Worship
Isa 44:17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships.
He prays to it and says, “Save me! You are my god!”
3. Privilege
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.
John 9:31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God
and does His will, He hears him.
Pro 28:9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an
abomination.
Psa 66:18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
Pro 1:28-31 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently
but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD,
would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof therefore they shall eat the fruit
of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.
Kinds of prayers:
1. Supplication (supply your needs; not your wants)
Eph 6:18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep
alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Phi 6:18 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Phi 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in
Christ Jesus.
1 Tim 6: 7-10 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the
world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire
to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that
plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.
2. Intercession
1 Tim 2:1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings
be made for all people,
3. Thanksgiving
Col 4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
Col 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in
one body. And be ye thankful.
Col 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
4. Claiming of promises
2 Pet 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through
them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that
is in the world because of sinful desire.
5. Instant in prayer
Rom 12:12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer
When to pray:
1. Early in the morning
Psa 63:1 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh
longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
Psa 5:3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to
You,
And I will look up.
2. Before we eat
1 Tim 4: 3-5 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath
created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every
creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving; for it is
sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.
3. When tempted
Mark 14:3-38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but
the flesh is weak.”
1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God
is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are
tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Mark 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be
condemned.
Mark 16: 17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they
will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will
not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

Matt 17: 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have
faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to
there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

DELIVERANCE PRAYERS to be said OUT LOUD in the "privacy" of your car, bathroom, closet,
bedroom, back yard, prison cell, anywhere. Get in the HABIT of praying OUT LOUD to the Lord.
Notice that most deliverance prayers are spoken COMMANDS to the enemy, in the name of Jesus
rather than requests to Jesus or God.
After sprinkling blessed salt/water one can pray, "In the name of the Father, Son Jesus Christ, and
Holy Spirit, I command all evil to leave and never return. Jesus Christ please be present and remain."
Many people pray incorrectly; they demand of God rather than demand of Satan. If we do not take
authority over evil, then Satan will/may take authority over/for us. If we do not choose, then Satan
will/may choose for us. [It is sort of like failing to vote. We lose by default/ negligence/omission. Life
is sort of like a football team. Either we play the defence or we play the offense. It is the offensive
side who carries the ball, who makes the goal, who scores the points.
Perhaps an offensive prayer would go like this, "In the name of Jesus, 'Satan, take your hands off
___________ .' The word of God says, '________________________________'. Satan, 'you have to
obey the word of God.'" Additionally we can speak to negative situations and tell them to go in the
name of Jesus, based scripture which says _____________________________________(as relevant
to that specific problem). Then we thank God that it is now accomplished/ in His hands/ not in our
hands. Remember each generation is to claim what is already accomplished/done by Christ 2000 years
ago. Anger should always be at evil and NOT at a person or at God.
1 Corinthians 15: 1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you,
which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have
believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according
to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
Romans 14: 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness,
peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
1 Peter 1: 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the
living and enduring word of God.
24 For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers
and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.
Ephesians 1: 13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation,
and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One
promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God].
14 The Spirit is the guarantee [the first instalment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the
redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.
1 Corinthians 3: 16 Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and
that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]?
17 If anyone destroys the temple of God [corrupting it with false doctrine], God will destroy the
destroyer; for the temple of God is holy (sacred), and that is what you are.
Romans 8: 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised
Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in
you.
Ephesians 4: 13 until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God,
[growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ
[manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].
1 Thessalonians 4: 7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness [to be dedicated, and set
apart by behaviour that pleases Him, whether in public or in private].
8 So whoever rejects and disregards this is not [merely] rejecting man but the God who gives His
Holy Spirit to you [to dwell in you and empower you to overcome temptation].
2 Cor 5: 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as
Saviour], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous
moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual
awakening brings a new life].
1 Thes 5: 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate
you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him
—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found]
blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 5: 1 Everyone who believes [with a deep, abiding trust in the fact] that Jesus is the Christ (the
Messiah, the Anointed) is born of God [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed,
and set apart for His purpose], and everyone who loves the Father also loves the child born of Him.
2 By this we know [without any doubt] that we love the children of God: [expressing that love] when
we love God and obey His commandments.
3 For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused
on His precepts. And His commandments and His precepts are not difficult [to obey].
4 For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has
conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].
James 1: 18 It was of His own will that He gave us birth [as His children] by the word of truth, so that
we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a prime example of what He created to be set apart
to Himself—sanctified, made holy for His divine purposes].
Romans 8: 26 In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know
what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the
right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groaning’s too deep for words.
27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes
[before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will.
28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all
things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according
to His plan and purpose.
29 For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He
would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honoured] among many believers.
30 And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified
[declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a
heavenly dignity].
31 What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? 32
He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along
with Him, graciously give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us
[declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself].
34 Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more
than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the
Father] for us.
35 Who shall ever separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 Just as it is written and forever remains written, “For Your sake we are put to death all day long;
we are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through
Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].
38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited]
love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Col 1: 15 He is the exact living image [the essential manifestation] of the unseen God [the visible
representation of the invisible], the firstborn [the preeminent one, the sovereign, and the originator] of
all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether
thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by
His activity] and for Him.
17 And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the
controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]
18 He is also the head [the life-source and leader] of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place [He will stand supreme and be
preeminent] in everything.
19 For it pleased the Father for all the fullness [of deity—the sum total of His essence, all His
perfection, powers, and attributes] to dwell [permanently] in Him (the Son),
20 and through [the intervention of] the Son to reconcile all things to Himself, making peace [with
believers] through the blood of His cross; through Him, [I say,] whether things on earth or things in
heaven.
1 Cor 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so
that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God.
13 We also speak of these things, not in words taught or supplied by human wisdom, but in those
taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual thoughts with spiritual words [for those
being guided by the Holy Spirit].
14 But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the
Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of
understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to
judge spiritual matters].
15 But the spiritual man [the spiritually mature Christian] judges all things [questions, examines and
applies what the Holy Spirit reveals], yet is himself judged by no one [the unbeliever cannot judge
and understand the believer’s spiritual nature].
16 For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the
mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].
John 1: 12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the
privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on)
His name—
13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse],
nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—
they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].
John 3: 5 Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and
the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh [the physical is merely physical], and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not be surprised that I have told you, ‘You must be born again [reborn from above—spiritually
transformed, renewed, sanctified].’
8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it is coming
from and where it is going; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
John 3: 16 “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One
and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but
have eternal life.
17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the
final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him.
18 Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for
this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and
has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted
and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten
Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].
John3: 36 He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Savior] has eternal life [that is,
already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying
Him and denying Him as Savior] will not see [eternal] life, but [instead] the wrath of God hangs over
him continually.”
Eph 2: 8 For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you
have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this
[salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift
of God;
9 not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to]
boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].
10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn
from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared
[for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life
which He prearranged and made ready for us].
Titus 3: 5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done, but because of
His own compassion and mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation,
regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that we would be justified [made free of the guilt of sin] by His [compassionate, undeserved]
grace, and that we would be [acknowledged as acceptable to Him and] made heirs of eternal life
[actually experiencing it] according to our hope (His guarantee).
1 John 4: 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead
test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone
out into the world.
2 By this you know and recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges and confesses
[the fact] that Jesus Christ has [actually] come in the flesh [as a man] is from God [God is its source];
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would
deny any of the Son’s true nature] is not of God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have
heard is coming, and is now already in the world.
John 7: 37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud
voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!
38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said,
‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”
39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to
receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to
honor).
1 John 4: 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead
test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone
out into the world.
2 By this you know and recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges and confesses
[the fact] that Jesus Christ has [actually] come in the flesh [as a man] is from God [God is its source];
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would
deny any of the Son’s true nature] is not of God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have
heard is coming, and is now already in the world.
4 Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already]
overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who
is in the world [of sinful mankind].
Heaven, Worshiping God
Rev 4: 8 “Holy, Holy, Holy [is the] Lord God, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], who
was and who is and who is to come [the unchanging, eternal God].”
Rev 4: 11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power; for
You created all things, and because of Your will they exist, and were created and brought into being.”
Rev 5: 12 “Worthy and deserving is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power and riches and
wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
Rev 5: 13 “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb (Christ), be blessing and honor and glory
and dominion forever and ever.”
Rev 15: 3 “Great and wonderful and awe-inspiring are Your works [in judgment],
O Lord God, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all]; Righteous and true are Your ways,
O King of the nations!
Rev 15: 4 “Who will not fear [reverently] and glorify Your name, O Lord [giving You honor and
praise in worship]? For You alone are holy; For all the nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your righteous acts [Your just decrees and judgments] have been revealed and displayed.”
James 5: 13 Is anyone among you suffering? He must pray. Is anyone joyful? He is to sing praises [to
God].
14 Is anyone among you sick? He must call for the elders (spiritual leaders) of the church and they are
to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
15 and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he
has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one
another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man
(believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and
can have tremendous power].
Matthew 10: 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely
give.
