COVENANT WITH THE LORD

Lord Jesus,

          I declare Your greatness. You are my Rock; Your work is perfect; All Your ways are just; You are a trustworthy G-d who does no wrong. You are righteous and straight. You are a faithful G-d, who keeps His covenant and extends grace to those who love You and observe Your mitzvot, to a thousand generations.

          You are my strength and protection; You make my way go straight. You make me swift and sure-footed as a deer and enable me to stand on my high places. You train my hands for war until my arms can bend a bow of bronze; You give me Your shield, which is salvation; Your answers make me great. You lengthen the steps I can take, and do not let my ankles turn.

          You knew me before I was formed in my mother’s womb. You are always with me, and will never forsake me. I can never repay You for Your Sacrifice or the undeserving gifts You give me for no other reason than just because You love me.  You are my King first and my Daddy second, and I want to honor and please You in every area of my life.

         Therefore, let all the world witness that on the 3rd day of April in the year 2019 I willingly enter into a sacred covenant with You to offer myself as a living sacrifice for Your glory throughout my sphere of influence, giving You preeminence over my life and career.

            I commit to living as an Authentic Disciple, manifesting a spirit-filled life as a vessel set aside for honorable use by You for every kind of good work, and to release Your presence every place I step on with the sole of my foot. I hereby promise to do my best to:

1. Search after You with all my heart and being, and increase the capacity of my heart to carry more of You and steward it well without fear or hesitation.
2. Discern when to sacrifice my rights as You instruct as an act of love for You and others, because You have commanded that I love others as You love me and that I can do all things through You who gives me power.
3. Manifest all 9 fruits of the spirit (Joy, Love, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithful, Gentle, and especially Self-Control) to represent You well in every circumstance because Your Word says that others will be won over by my conduct, without having to say anything as they observe my pure and respectful behavior towards them.
4. Remain secure in Your provision and protection no matter how difficult a situation may appear, because when I rest in You, I will be preserved in perfect peace because of my trust in You.
5. Persist in both expectation of the requests I make and surrender to your perfect timing for the challenges I face, because Your Word says for everything there is a season, a right time for every intention under heaven.
6. Expand my perspective to see everything around me through Your eyes to reveal divine resources and opportunities to partner with You in my destiny and the assignments around me, because You give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation so I will have full knowledge of You.
7. Maintain integrity with You through quickly confessing and repenting of my sins, because your Word says that if I humble myself, pray, seek Your face and turn from my evil ways, You will hear me, forgive me, and heal my land; and also because no weapon made will prevail against me. In court You will refute every accusation. The servants of Adonai inherit all this; the reward for my righteousness is from You.
8. Create a safe environment for others to show up as their authentic selves and share what’s on their heart so You can give me words of knowledge, encouragement or guidance for them based on their individual situations.
9. Dedicate my entire business operation and first fruits of my income for Kingdom Impact however You direct me.
10. Build a team of Authentic Disciples as You highlight people around me who are hungry for more of You, as well as those who are being wooed into a relationship with You.

          I decree and declare that I will take full responsibility for the territory You are assigning to me; and because Your Word says that when I keep Your Torah on my lips, and meditate on it day and night, and take care to act according to everything written in it, that my undertakings will prosper, and I will succeed. It also says that You are just waiting to show me favor. I know this is true because You are not a human who lies or a mortal who changes his mind. When You say something, You will do it; when You make a promise, You will fulfill it.

          I joyfully enter this covenant and accept all of its obligations.  All this is valid and binding in Your name.

~ Your Bond Servant, Faithful Warrior Bride, and Precious Daughter
