Jude 1:24 (KJV)

Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.

Some Christians are easily swayed by sayings that appeal to their humanity rather than their divinity. Many focus on scriptures, especially from the Old Testament, without realizing that, as Christians, our code of conduct is governed by New Testament principles of grace. When I say “New Testament,” I’m not referring to the printed division before Matthew in physical Bibles. Hebrews 9:16-17 explains that the New Testament began with Christ’s death.

Consider a common phrase many Christians borrow from the Old Testament: “A righteous [person] falls seven times and rises again.” While this holds truth, it’s a lesser revelation for New Testament Christians. Jude tells us that God is able to keep us from falling. Embrace this higher truth—believe God is powerful enough to keep you from stumbling into sin. Stand firm today and declare, “I am not falling!”

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am upheld by the power of God. I walk confidently in the grace and strength of Christ, knowing that He enables me to stand firm and free from sin. I am empowered by grace to live a victorious life. I decree and declare, in this Year of the Chainbreaker, I am not falling! For the Lord is my Keeper, and He presents me faultless with exceeding joy. Hallelujah!

Hebrews 6:1

Exodus 14:29 (KJV)

But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

When the Israelites walked away from the Egyptian yoke of bondage, the Lord ensured they crossed the Red Sea on dry ground. He didn't want them to enter Canaan with the mud of Egypt. They were leaving behind slavery, poverty, and pain. God didn't want any of those things to pursue them into their new life. You might have been in the world, or you are receiving Christ right now—there is no more room for the residue of Egypt. You are being metamorphosed—transformed into the life of Jesus.

In Jesus Christ, you are definitely a new creature. Your past sins and errors have no place at all. The old you sinned, and that one is long gone. No more Egyptian mud will follow you into Canaan. Sickness and poverty have no room in your new life in Jesus. As we close this month and enter a new one, no failure, delay, or denial will cross into the new month in Jesus' Name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My past is over; I have the life of Christ in me. He is the hope of all glory. I decree and declare that God is doing a new thing in every area of my life. Amen.

Isaiah 43:19

Acts 9:10 (KJV)

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

When a head of state travels to a location, that area becomes a high-security zone. Police and all security personnel will be everywhere. Entering such an environment, you immediately sense that someone influential is nearby. This is physical dominance over a territory, but there's also spiritual dominance you can have as a child of God.

When Paul attempted to enter a region controlled by the prayers of Ananias, he was struck by lightning. Your life as a child of God is a no-go zone for Satan and his cohorts. Bank prayers in the spiritual realm and create a buffer against the enemy's wiles. As you pray today, you are creating a stronghold against the devil and all his devices. You shall continue to walk in victory and power in the Name of Jesus.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My life is a no-go zone for the devil and his cohorts. I resist every work of darkness targeting my life in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
