Audio Version
Ephesians 4:24 (KJV) – “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
As a child of God, you have been brought out of darkness, into the glorious light of God. Christ has redeemed you and has given you victory over the power of sin and death. Your new life and identity should therefore be marked by abundant peace and all-round prosperity. Even though Christ has already perfected his work in your spirit, your mind is still subject to its old nature, and this can limit you from enjoying your blessings.
However, our opening scripture reminds us that living in the reality of this new life requires intentionality. You have to put on or embrace this new nature you have received. To truly embrace your new nature, you must consciously renew your mind with the word of God, and walk in the boldness that comes from knowing you are His.
You are not defined by your past mistakes, failures, or the negative labels others may have placed on you. You are not a sinner, a deceiver, or a liar in God’s eyes. Instead, you are a beloved child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and made new in Him. You are righteous, holy, and blameless in God’s sight. You are chosen, precious in God’s sight, and He delights in you.
Choose to live fully from the truth of your new identity in Christ Jesus. Do not let the lies of the enemy or the opinions of others define you. Instead, let God’s Word be your truth, your identity, and your reality. Let this truth shape your thoughts, your words, and your actions. Surrender yourself to the transforming power of His word, and walk confidently in the righteousness and authority He has given you. You are not what men call you: you are what God says you are. Celebrate God today! Hallelujah.
Start-up Prayer
Father, in Jesus’ name, help me walk confidently in my new identity and follow the truth of Word daily in Jesus name.
Nation Focus: Germany
Germany, in the heart of Europe, has a strong history in faith and culture. Once the birthplace of the Protestant Reformation, much of its Christianity today is more tradition than true relationship with God. Secularism is widespread, and spiritual hunger is often hidden by comfort and self-reliance. The nation needs a move of God to awaken faith and bring lasting change.
Prayer for the Nation
Father, in the name of Jesus, we declare that Germany belongs to You. Let Your light shine through the darkness and lead many to repentance.
Prayer for the Leaders
Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask that for strength upon the leaders in Germany that they may walk in integrity and govern with compassion and wisdom.
Prayer for Israel
Father, in the name of Jesus, we declare that your blessings will abide in Jerusalem.

Prayer for Souls / Revival
Father, in the name of Jesus, we cry out for the lost. Open spiritual eyes, soften hardened hearts, and let revival sweep from the north to the south and east to west.
