And they departed and went up into the mountains, and came to the Valley of Eshcol, and spied it out. They also took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us; and they brought back word to us, saying, ‘It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.’ “Nevertheless you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God;”

And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

I am a citizen of the kingdom of God. This world is not my home, I am just passing through. I declare out loud that I am forgiven and set me free from slavery to sin. The Son of God has delivered me and will continue to deliver me from every evil attack.
I have been given the Holy Spirit and the ability to listen to His voice lead me through every step of this life. He will never leave me. I am never alone.
As I daily carry my cross, the healing power of God sets me free from unbelief, fear and bitterness. I have received the promised fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit as an inheritance as a child of God. Christ in me is my identity and authority to pray and believe for all the promises of God, to the glory of God.
By the grace of God alone I am fully protected, provided for and satisfied in this abundant life that I now claim by faith in my Savior, Jesus Christ.
AMEN
