I Declare – God’s Word Is True

A 366-day Power-Packed Devotional Book for Busy People.

This book can be used for any year and the user may start at any time during the year.

People need the Word of God and need to speak its truths into their lives each day. One who wishes to grow more intimate with their Creator can declare—that is speak forth—the truths of God’s Word and increase their focus, connect their own lofty ideas with the reality of the divine, bring clarity of God’s views, infuse the Word into their souls, and turn the wisdom of its pages into personal resolutions.

I Declare – God’s Word Is True gives the reader an important truth about God and His Word to declare each day. This helps one grow in the fruit of the Spirit and be better equipped to know God, hear God, and follow God. Readers of this little book will have the opportunity to develop a Word consciousness which will encourage daily mindfulness of God, coupled with an awareness of the overcoming power His Word contains when applied to life situations.

The small size of this little devotional, measuring 6” x 4”, is perfect to stash in your purse, computer case, or desk drawer. And it is just right to tuck into a gift basket, or in the envelope with a greeting card.

The benefits of declaring truths from the Bible every day—saying it like you mean it—can have a powerful impact on one’s life and well-being, surprising even the sceptic.

One who uses I Declare—God’s Word is True daily, prayerfully, and sincerely will:

>  Receive a brief, relevant daily dose of God’s Word.

>  Gain knowledge and understanding of Bible truths and promises.

>  Maintain a consistent connection with God and His Word.

>  Have the opportunity to make Bible truths and promises personal, as one speaks them forth into one’s life and the lives of loved ones.

>  Grow in awareness of the power of God’s Word.

>  Grow stronger in personal faith.

>  Be equipped with faith-building truths that will help one overcome daily trials.

>  Grow in the development of a biblical worldview.

>  Grow one’s personal relationship with the Word of God and its Author.

>  Be strengthened in one’s own God-given purpose and calling.

>  Build confidence in one’s own personal experience with God, and thus be a more effective witness to others.

>  Grow in the ability to speak truth into one’s own life and the lives of others.

As you put this devotional book to use in your life I pray God will richly bless you and help you become more like Jesus and that, more and more each day, you’ll walk in the abundant life God designed for you. Let’s praise God together for His wonder-filled Word. These things I pray for you in Jesus name—Amen.

Here is an example of two weeks of the daily declarations as written in I Declare—God’s Word Is True:

My Love for God

July 15 - I declare I love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Jesus declared, I am to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and my neighbor as myself (Luke 10:27-28).

                                                                                                                                                           

July 16 - I declare I love the Lord my God with all my heart and soul.

The Lord my God will circumcise my heart and the hearts of my descendants to love Him with all our hearts and souls that we may live (Deuteronomy 30:6).          

                        

July 17 - I declare I am not ashamed of the Gospel!

The Gospel of Christ is the power of God to salvation for all who believe and I will not be ashamed of it (Romans 1:16).

July 18 - I declare because of my love for God, His commandments are not burdensome.

My love for God and belief in Jesus compel me to keep His commandments and thus overcome the world (1 John 5:1-5).

July 19 - I declare I love You, Lord, because You hear me when I cry out to You.

God has turned His ear toward me and listens to my prayers, therefore I love Him and will call out to Him for as long as I live (Psalm 116:1).

July 20- I declare, Oh Lord my God, I praise You with all my heart!

I praise You, Lord, and glorify Your great name forever (Psalm 86:12).

July 21 - I declare I will sing praises to my God for as long as I live.

I’ll sing to the Lord—sing praises to my God for as long as I live (Psalm 104:33).

                                                                                                                                                          

My Eyes Are Fixed On Jesus

July 22 - I declare I’m looking to You, Jesus, as the author and finisher of my faith.

With God’s help, I am laying sin aside and running the race set before me, all the while, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).                         

July 23 - I declare when the enemy comes against me, I will fix my eyes on You, Lord.

Just as Jehoshaphat and the Israelites did in days of old, when the massive enemy is coming for me, I will keep my eyes upon You (2 Chronicles 20:12).

July 24 - I declare my eyes are always turned toward You, Lord.

My eyes are ever toward You, Lord, and You will pull me out of any snare (Psalm 25:15).

July 25 - I declare, like Moses, I will not fear evil for by faith I see You, God.

Moses did not fear the wrath of the evil Egyptian king because by faith he could see the invisible God (Hebrews 11:27).

July 26 - I declare I will not focus on things I see with my physical eyes but on things I see with my spiritual eyes.

Things seen with human eyes are temporary, but things seen with spiritual eyes are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).

July 27 - I declare that the eyes of my understanding are enlightened to know the hope of Your calling.

As the Father of glory gives wisdom and revelation, the eyes of my understanding are enlightened to know the hope of His calling, the glory of His inheritance and the greatness of His power toward us who believe (Ephesians 1:17-19).

July 28 - I declare as I look to You, Lord, I am radiant.

You hear me, Lord, when I seek You and as I look to you I am radiant and not ashamed (Psalm 34:4-5).         

I hope this gives you a taste of the flavor of I Declare—God’s Word Is True. Praise God for His precious Word, its truths, concepts and precepts.

“First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”

“First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”

“Remember that God is our only trust. To Him, I commend you .... My son, neglect not the duty of secret prayer.” 

This was the commission to George Washington by his mother, Mary Washington, as he left home to embark on a life of service to his country.

This man who would later become the first president of the United States of America remained true to his mother’s instruction. 

In his field notebook during the Revolutionary War he maintained a personal prayer book, written in his own handwriting, consisting of twenty four pages. Upon reading these prayers, one can get a glimpse of the depth of his character and dependence on his Creator. 

One Sunday morning his entry read thus: “Almighty God, and most merciful Father, who didst command the children of Israel to offer a daily sacrifice to Thee, that thereby they might glorify and praise Thee for Thy protection both night and day, receive O Lord, my morning sacrifice which I now offer up to Thee;”

“I yield Thee humble and hearty thanks, that Thou hast preserved me form the dangers of the night past and brought me to the light of this day, and the comfort thereof, a day which is consecrated to Thine own service and for Thine own honour.” 

“Let my heart therefore gracious God be so affected with the glory and majesty of it, that I may not do mine own works but wait on Thee, and discharge those weighty duties Thou required of me: ... pardon I beseech Thee, my sins, remove them from Thy presence as far as the east is from the west, and accept of me for the merits of Thy son Jesus Christ, ...”

“Grant that I may hear it (God’s Word) with reverence, receive it with meekness, mingle it with faith, and that it may accomplish in me gracious God, the good work for which Thou hast sent it.”

“Bless my family, kindred, friends and country, be our God and guide this day and forever for His sake, who lay down in the grave and arose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

For the sake of time and space, I omitted about half of the above prayer. Keep in mind that was General Washington’s morning prayer. His evening prayer was just as beautiful and heartfelt and ended with, ”Continue Thy goodness to me this night. These weak petitions, I humbly implore Thee to hear, accept and answer for the sake of Thy Dear Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”

God, indeed, protected General Washington. Fifteen years after the Battle at the Monongahela, during the French and Indian War, Washington encountered an old Indian chief, who addressed him through an interpreter. The chief told of his account of that battle and seeing the supernatural protection of this general—said that the opposing Indians could see that their focus on killing Washington was going nowhere. He said, “twas all in vain, a power mightier than we, shielded you. Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately ceased to fire at you. ...”

“Listen! The Great Spirit protects that man [pointing to Washington], and guides his destinies—he will become the chief of nations, and p people yet unborn will hail him as the founder of a mighty empire. I am come to pay homage to the man who is the particular favorite of Heaven, and who can never die in battle.”

 

During the Revolutionary War, General Washington commissioned a flag to fly as their ensign on Navy cruisers. The flag was white with a green pine tree and above it the inscription, “An Appeal to Heaven.”   

 Among his many quotes a couple often times used are: “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”  AND, “That great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.”

 

George Washington died on December 14, 1799. Among the many honors and accolades, Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee wrote in his friend’s eulogy, “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”

This has been just a small taste of the character and faith of George Washington. There is much more written about the great general and first president of the United States and there is much more of his own writings and prayers available for us to read and be inspired by.

As we celebrate our U.S. Independence Day this 4^th of July, let’s be mindful of the faith of our fathers and be grateful to God for their sacrifices and diligence in establishing a great and free country for us and our posterity.
