The Warrior’s Dying to Self
A Declaration of Faith
If you are serious about having the mind of Christ and submitting fully to the Will of God, then submit everything to the Lord and make the following declarations over yourself.
John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
___________________________________________________________________________
Lord God, I choose now to come into perfect alignment with the Holy Spirit of God. I command my Spirit Man to be in submission to, and alignment with, Holy Spirit, my soul to be in submission to and in alignment with, my Spirit Man and my body to be in submission to, and in alignment with, my soul.
I surrender to the Lord God Almighty, Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ…. my will, mind, emotions, my body, and my future plans, hopes and dreams. I give You my home, my relationships, my marriage, my children, my geographical location, my recreation and entertainment, my career/business and my ministry. I surrender to You my past successes and failures, my habits, my finances, my problems, my time, my integrity and character, my attitudes, my business conduct and relationships, my Christian walk and my response to authority.
Lord, I further surrender to You the following “rights”:
· My right to possessions
· My right to a good reputation
· My right to be accepted
· My right to be successful
· My right to have pleasant circumstances
· My right to presume the will of God
· My right to life itself
· My right to beauty or strength
· My right to have friendships
· My right to be heard
· My right to take offense at anything
· My right to avoid reaping from what I sow
· My right to be right
· My right to see results
· My right to _________________
· My right to _________________
In this perfect submission, surrender and alignment, I choose now to completely decrease that the Holy Spirit now permeates and saturates my entire being.
I choose now to no longer take offense if I am forgotten, neglected or ignored – I operate in Christ’s perfect peace.
I refuse to respond in anger or defense if my good is spoken of as evil, my wishes are crossed or my opinion is ridiculed – I have the patience of Christ Jesus
I choose now to lovingly and patiently bear any disorder, irregularity, annoyance, waste, folly, extravagance, or spiritual insensibility enduring it all as Jesus did.
I choose now to be content with any food, clothing, offering, climate, society, solitude and any interruptions by the will of God knowing that He is in complete control of my life.
I choose to rejoice when I see my sister or brother prosper as their needs are met with no envy no matter how great my own needs may be.
I choose to humbly receive correction and reproof from anyone with no rebellion or resentment.
I purpose now to never refer to my accomplishments in conversation or record my own good works or want accolades - living to truly be part of the nameless, faceless One New Man.
I thank You Lord God for completing this transformational work in me that I am now
filled with Your glory so that You can complete Your will for my life. I give You
permission to do anything you wish to me, with me, in me or through me. I willingly
make this commitment and covenant with only You Lord Jesus as my Savior and
God. I acknowledge that this is an agreement with You that can never be broken
now that I have surrendered all to you, I purpose to never take it back. Amen.
I acknowledge and accept this covenant as evidenced by my signature below.
