I don’t like the most common translations of this verse. You’ve heard it before: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” It’s so easy to pass over that one and move on to the rest because of the lack of clarity in the first half and the passive voice in the second.

When you know the will of the Lord, you can declare it over the person, place, or thing with confidence. These are the most solid prayers of faith we can pray. God speaks His will over an issue, and we who hear Him have the privilege and responsibility of declaring the will of the Lord.

I found this on the Streams Ministries website. Pray this with me each week. Pick a day (possibly Sunday) when you will have time to remember. It will renew our minds and cleanse our hearts over time.
My Father in Heaven:
* I will bear Your light to change the world.
* I am the light of the world, because the Light of the World dwells in me.
* Your Kingdom will come; Your will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
* No one will meet me and not be changed, because no one can meet You and not be changed.

But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
I will praise you forever for what you have done;
in your name I will hope, for your name is good.
I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
I’ve heard several people mention “the orphan spirit” lately. While I don’t like calling everything wrong with us a spirit, I understand the purpose behind it and can at least engage the term in dialogue.
What is an orphan spirit? It’s a lifestyle, attitude, and belief that one is unloved, unworthy of love, unlikely to receive love, and all alone. People with this attitude are typically a drain on others. They have a victim mentality most of the time and simply expect less than what God has promised.
Is that you? For that matter, is that me?
