Healing, Wholeness, Protection & Victory in Christ

HEALING, WHOLENESS, PROTECTION & VICTORY IN CHRIST

A Reconciled Scripture Confession, Prayer, and Meditation Guide

Primary Bible text: King James Version (KJV), unless another translation is expressly identified. Purpose: To gather the strongest material from the original healing and spiritual-warfare compilation into one Christ-centered, usable daily guide.

Public KJV edition: Scripture quotations use the public-domain King James Version. Original prayers, confessions, organization, and editorial notes are published by Speak Scripture. The reviewed NKJV editions remain preserved separately and are not bulk-reproduced here. Brief third-party ministry wording is summarized rather than republished.

Important clarification

The language of taking Scripture “like medicine” is a spiritual metaphor for sustained hearing, meditation, prayer, remembrance, and obedience. This guide is not a medical diagnosis, prescription, or substitute for qualified care. Seeking appropriate treatment is not unbelief. Scripture itself places prayer and practical care beside one another: Isaiah prescribed a physical application while Hezekiah prayed and recovered (Isaiah 38:1-21); Jesus acknowledged physicians (Luke 5:31); and Paul called Luke “the beloved physician” (Colossians 4:14).

This guide does not promise that repeating a sentence mechanically controls God or guarantees a timetable. Biblical confession means agreeing with God’s Word, praying according to His will, remaining in Christ, forgiving others, obeying what He says, resisting fear and deception, and persevering in hope.

Editorial Provenance

Material retained from the original compilation

The original document supplied the core healing passages, the “Word as medicine” emphasis, first-person declarations, Psalm 91 protection language, faith and prayer texts, the armor of God, extensive Scriptures concerning Christ’s defeat of Satan, and an extended call to obedience and holy living.

Material added in this reconciled edition

The following elements were added for clarity, balance, and daily usefulness:

• A unified Christ-centered framework rather than several repeated lists.
• A morning, midday, evening, and urgent-need rhythm.
• A master daily confession and five complete prayers.
• Related Scriptures on faith through hearing, peace, sleep, wise care, perseverance, suffering, resurrection, and freedom from condemnation.
• Context notes for passages that were previously used as isolated promises even though their immediate setting is covenant warning, judgment, warfare, greeting, or narrative.
• A distinction between bold faith and presumption, and between spiritual warfare and hostility toward people.
• A seven-day meditation cycle and a complete topical reference index.

No core biblical emphasis was intentionally weakened. Repetition and scraped-page noise were removed, while distinct themes and useful references were preserved.

PART I — THE RECONCILED BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

1. Begin with God, not with the problem

Christian faith is not faith in faith, positive speech, human intensity, or a desired outcome. It is trust in the living God revealed in Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Mark 11:22

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Foundation confession: My confidence is not in a formula. My confidence is in the Father, in the finished work of Jesus Christ, in the indwelling Holy Spirit, and in the faithfulness of God’s Word.

2. Christ is the center of healing, salvation, and victory

The original compilation rightly places Isaiah 53, Matthew 8, Romans 8, Galatians 3, 1 Peter 2, Colossians 2, Hebrews 2, and Revelation 12 near the center. These passages must be read together: Jesus bears sin and sorrow, gives abundant life, defeats the powers of darkness, brings us into His kingdom, and will finally abolish death.

Isaiah 53:4-5

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Colossians 2:15

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

1 Corinthians 15:26

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Foundation confession: Jesus Christ is Lord. His cross, resurrection, reign, intercession, and promised return define my hope. Sin, accusation, darkness, suffering, and death do not have the final word.

3. The Word produces faith when it is heard, received, kept, and obeyed

The Bible does not present confession as empty repetition. God’s Word is to be heard, understood, treasured, meditated upon, believed, spoken, and practiced.

Romans 10:17 — added for completion

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Proverbs 4:20-23

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

James 1:22 — added for completion

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Foundation confession: I attend to God’s Word. I do not merely repeat it; I receive it, let it search me, renew my mind by it, obey it, and hold it in my heart.

4. Bold prayer remains submitted to God’s will

Scripture joins confident asking with surrender. Mark 11:22-25, John 15:7, and 1 John 5:14-15 belong together with Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane.

1 John 5:14-15

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Matthew 26:39 — added for balance

O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

John 15:7 — added for completion

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Foundation confession: I ask boldly because God is good, and I submit humbly because God is Lord. His will is not an obstacle to faith; His will is the ground of faithful prayer.

5. Forgiveness, obedience, love, and a clear conscience belong to confident prayer

The original compilation includes Mark 11, 1 John 3, James 4, and the obedience-focused closing devotional. These are not side issues. Scripture never separates faith from fellowship with God.

Mark 11:25

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

1 John 3:21-22

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

James 4:7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Foundation confession: I receive God’s grace, forgive those who have wronged me, turn from known sin, walk in love, and resist the devil from a place of submission to God.

6. Faith does not deny facts; it refuses to make visible facts the final authority

Biblical faith can name pain honestly and still hope. The Psalms frequently combine lament and praise. Abraham did not pretend his body was young; he became fully persuaded that God was able to perform what He promised.

Romans 4:19-21

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

2 Corinthians 4:18

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Foundation confession: I can report symptoms truthfully without enthroning them. I do not lie about my condition, and I do not surrender my hope to it. What is seen is real, but it is not eternal.

7. Illness is not proof of personal failure, secret sin, or insufficient faith

James 5 allows confession where sin is involved, but Jesus rejected the assumption that every affliction can be traced to a person’s particular sin.

John 9:3 — added for balance

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Romans 8:1 — added for balance

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

Believers should pray, examine themselves before God, forgive, receive counsel, and pursue wise care—but they must not condemn the sick, manufacture hidden guilt, or equate delayed healing with divine rejection.

Foundation confession: I reject condemnation. I welcome the Holy Spirit’s truthful conviction, but I refuse shame, accusation, and the cruel judgment that suffering proves God has abandoned me.

8. Healing can be immediate, progressive, mediated, or finally completed in resurrection

The Gospels and Acts contain immediate healings. Scripture also records ongoing infirmity, practical remedies, perseverance, and the future resurrection. These truths do not cancel one another.

• Immediate: Matthew 8:3; Luke 6:19; Acts 5:16.
• Progressive: Mark 8:22-25.
• Accompanied by practical means: Isaiah 38:21; 1 Timothy 5:23.
• Not yet resolved in the moment: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; 2 Timothy 4:20.
• Finally complete: Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:42-57; Revelation 21:4.

2 Corinthians 12:9 — added for balance

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

Revelation 21:4 — added for completion

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Foundation confession: I ask for healing now, receive every wise means God provides, trust His sustaining grace, and anchor my final hope in the resurrection of the body and the world made new.

9. Satan is decisively defeated, presently resisted, and finally judged

The original document contains all three dimensions. Christ disarmed the powers at the cross; believers must still be sober and resist the adversary; and Satan’s final judgment is certain.

Hebrews 2:14-15

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

1 Peter 5:8-9

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith.

Revelation 20:10

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone.

Foundation confession: Christ has triumphed. I do not fear or glorify the enemy. I remain sober, submit to God, stand in truth, resist evil, and await Christ’s complete and final victory.

10. People are never the target of spiritual warfare

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Spiritual-warfare language must never be used to demonize a spouse, family member, neighbor, clinician, pastor, coworker, political opponent, or other human being. We bless, forgive, tell the truth, set wise boundaries, seek justice, and overcome evil with good (Romans 12:14-21).

Foundation confession: Human beings are not my spiritual enemy. I will not weaponize Scripture against people. I stand against lies, sin, accusation, fear, and spiritual evil while walking in truth, love, humility, and justice.

PART II — HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

A simple six-step practice

1. Become still before God

Begin with worship rather than panic. Take several slow breaths. Acknowledge the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. You are not trying to force spiritual intensity; you are turning your attention toward God.

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God.

2. Submit yourself to God

Invite the Lord to search your heart. Confess known sin without self-punishment. Forgive others by an act of obedience, even where feelings have not caught up. Ask for wisdom regarding medical, relational, and practical steps.

Psalm 139:23-24

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

3. Read the actual Scripture before speaking the declaration

The declaration is a response to the text, not a replacement for it. Read slowly, notice who is speaking, to whom the promise was given, what conditions or context surround it, and how it is fulfilled or illuminated in Christ.

4. Speak with faith and understanding

Read aloud when possible. Emphasize God’s character and action. Personalize the passage without changing its meaning. Replace frantic volume with attentive conviction.

A sound pattern is:

1. What God has said: “The Lord is faithful.”
2. What Christ has done: “He has delivered me from the power of darkness.”
3. How I respond: “Therefore I trust, pray, obey, forgive, resist fear, and stand.”
4. What I ask: “Father, manifest Your mercy and healing in my body and life.”
5. How I surrender: “Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours be done.”

5. Take the next faithful action

Faith may lead you to rest, call a physician, take prescribed medication correctly, request prayer from elders, reconcile with someone, improve sleep or nutrition, stop a destructive habit, obtain another medical opinion, or simply remain still and receive help. Prayer and wise action are partners, not rivals.

6. End with thanksgiving and peace

Thank God before every visible answer is complete because His character is already worthy of praise. Thanksgiving is not denial; it is remembrance.

Philippians 4:6-7

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

A healthy vocabulary of faith

Use language such as:

• “Father, I believe Your Word and bring You my actual condition.”
• “I receive Your peace while I pursue wise care.”
• “I refuse fear, accusation, hopelessness, and reckless presumption.”
• “Jesus is Lord over my life, body, mind, and future.”
• “I ask for healing and trust You with the manner and timing.”
• “I will not condemn myself or another person because an answer is delayed.”
• “I stand on the promise while remaining teachable, truthful, and obedient.”

Avoid language such as:

• “I must pretend nothing hurts.”
• “Medical care proves I have no faith.”
• “The sick person failed because the symptoms remain.”
• “My words obligate God to perform my preferred outcome.”
• “Every human disagreement is demonic warfare.”
• “Protection promises authorize reckless behavior or testing God.”

PART III — THE DAILY THREEFOLD RHYTHM

The original compilation recommends speaking the Word three times daily. The following rhythm turns that emphasis into a coherent practice rather than repeating the entire document mechanically.

MORNING — RECEIVE, ALIGN, AND EXPECT

Purpose: Begin with God’s identity, Christ’s work, the Spirit’s life, and your consecration.

Morning Scripture sequence

1. Psalm 103:1-5 — remember His benefits.
2. Isaiah 53:4-5 — behold Christ’s redemptive suffering.
3. Romans 8:2, 11 — receive the law of the Spirit of life.
4. Isaiah 40:29-31 — receive renewed strength.
5. Philippians 1:6 — trust God to complete His work.
6. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 — honor God with the body.
7. Psalm 118:17 — choose life and testimony.

Morning confession

Father, I bless You and remember Your benefits. You forgive, heal, redeem, crown, satisfy, and renew. Jesus bore sin, grief, sorrow, and shame, and by His wounds I receive the wholeness You provide. The Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me and gives life to my mortal body. You give power to the faint and increase strength to those who have no might. You began a good work in me, and You are faithful to continue it. My body belongs to You; therefore I will honor You in worship, rest, nourishment, movement, treatment, and obedience. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. This day belongs to You. Lead me in truth, wisdom, courage, and peace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Morning action

Write one sentence answering each question:

• What promise will govern my attention today?
• What fear must I release?
• What faithful practical action must I take?
• Whom must I forgive or bless?

MIDDAY — RENEW THE MIND AND STAND

Purpose: Interrupt anxiety, symptom fixation, discouragement, and mental warfare with truth.

Midday Scripture sequence

1. Proverbs 4:20-23 — attend to the Word.
2. Romans 10:17 — faith comes by hearing.
3. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 — take thoughts captive.
4. Isaiah 26:3-4 — keep the mind stayed on God.
5. 2 Timothy 1:7 — reject the spirit of fear.
6. Psalm 91:9-16 — remain in God as refuge.
7. 1 John 4:4 — remember who dwells within.

Midday confession

I return my attention to God’s Word. Faith comes by hearing, and I choose to hear the truth again. The weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God. I cast down imaginations that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, and I bring my thoughts into the obedience of Christ. The Lord keeps me in perfect peace as my mind is stayed on Him. God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. I have made the Most High my habitation. I refuse panic and reckless presumption; I abide under His care and follow His wisdom. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Jesus is Lord over this hour.

Midday reset

• Relax your jaw and shoulders.
• Breathe slowly.
• Name the fear without agreeing with it.
• Read one promise aloud three times, slowly.
• Take one practical next step.
• Thank God for one present evidence of grace.

EVENING — FORGIVE, RELEASE, AND REST

Purpose: Close the day without carrying fear, resentment, accusation, or unfinished mental warfare into sleep.

Evening Scripture sequence

1. Mark 11:25 — forgive.
2. Philippians 4:6-9 — exchange anxiety for prayer and guarded thought.
3. Ephesians 6:10-18 — stand in the armor of God and pray.
4. James 4:7-8 — submit, resist, and draw near.
5. Psalm 4:8 — receive peaceful sleep.
6. Psalm 121:3-8 — trust the Keeper who does not sleep.
7. Lamentations 3:22-23 — anticipate new mercies.

Evening confession

Father, I release every offense and place every person in Your hands. Forgive me, cleanse me, and teach me. I give You every anxious thought and definite request with thanksgiving. Let Your peace guard my heart and mind through Christ Jesus. I stand in truth, righteousness, gospel peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer. I submit to You and resist the devil. I will both lay me down in peace and sleep, for You alone make me dwell in safety. You neither slumber nor sleep. Preserve my going out and my coming in. Your mercies are new in the morning. I rest under the lordship of Jesus Christ.

Evening release

Complete these sentences:

• “Father, I thank You for…”
• “I release…”
• “I forgive…”
• “I ask Your wisdom about…”
• “I entrust tomorrow to You because…”

URGENT NEED — A FIVE-MINUTE SCRIPTURE RESPONSE

When fear spikes, a report changes, pain intensifies, or you feel spiritually overwhelmed, use this brief sequence. It is not a replacement for emergency care. Obtain urgent help when the situation requires it.

1. Establish God’s presence

Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Say: God is present. I am not abandoned.

2. Reject fear

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Say: The Lord strengthens, helps, and upholds me.

3. Ask directly

Jeremiah 17:14

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Say: Father, heal, save, guide, and sustain me in Jesus’ name.

4. Stand in Christ’s victory

1 John 4:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Say: Jesus in me is greater than fear, accusation, deception, and darkness.

5. Choose the faithful next action

Ask: Lord, what is the next wise and obedient step? Then call for prayer, contact a clinician, take prescribed action, rest, or seek immediate assistance as appropriate.

6. End in confidence

1 John 5:14

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.

Say: God hears me. I am held in His wisdom, love, and power.

PART IV — MASTER DAILY CONFESSION

This section consolidates the repeated first-person statements from the original document and expands them with related passages. Speak it slowly. It is better to understand and believe ten lines than to rush through fifty.

60. The God of peace will bruise Satan under the feet of His people. Grace sustains me. (Romans 16:20)
61. I use the Lord’s authority humbly. I reject railing, pride, superstition, and fixation on demons; I say, “The Lord rebuke thee.” (Jude 9; Zechariah 3:2)

J. PERSEVERANCE, HOPE, AND FINAL WHOLENESS

62. Nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35-39)
63. The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed. (Romans 8:18)
64. The Holy Spirit helps my infirmities and intercedes when I do not know what to pray. (Romans 8:26-27)
65. God works in all things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)
66. After I have suffered a while, the God of all grace will make me perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle me. (1 Peter 5:10)
67. Death will be swallowed up in victory. Thanks be to God, who gives victory through Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:54-57)
68. God will wipe away every tear. Death, sorrow, crying, and pain will not endure forever. (Revelation 21:4)
69. I choose life in faithful love and obedience to God. He is my life and the length of my days. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20, read in covenant context)

PART V — THEMATIC SCRIPTURE TREASURY

This treasury preserves the strongest full passages from the original compilation, removes duplicate copies, and places related Scriptures beside them. Read whole sections slowly rather than treating verses as disconnected slogans.

1. GOD THE HEALER AND RESTORER

Exodus 15:26

If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Exodus 23:25-26

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

Psalm 103:1-5

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psalm 107:19-21

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Jeremiah 17:14

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Jeremiah 30:17

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD.

Meditation

The Old Testament healing texts reveal God’s name, compassion, covenant faithfulness, and restorative purpose. Their immediate covenant settings should be respected, yet they rightly train believers to seek the God who heals, restores, forgives, sustains, and ultimately renews all creation in Christ.

2. CHRIST BORE SIN, SORROW, AND SHAME

Isaiah 53:3-6

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Matthew 8:16-17

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

1 Peter 2:21-25

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Galatians 3:13-14, 29

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

• Romans 8:31-34: Christ died, rose, reigns, and intercedes; therefore accusation cannot overturn God’s justification.

Meditation

Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2 unite forgiveness, peace, restored relationship, righteous living, and healing. Do not shrink the passage to physical symptoms alone, and do not erase bodily need from it. Bring the whole person—spirit, soul, body, relationships, conscience, grief, and future—to the crucified and risen Christ.

3. JESUS’ COMPASSIONATE HEALING MINISTRY

Matthew 8:2-3

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matthew 15:30-31

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Luke 6:19

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

Acts 10:38

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

• Acts 3:1-16: The lame man was healed in the name of Jesus Christ.
• Acts 5:16: The sick and oppressed were brought, “and they were healed every one.”

Meditation

The healing ministry of Jesus reveals the arrival of God’s kingdom, the Messiah’s compassion, and the defeat of evil. It also directs attention beyond the miracle to the person of Jesus and the glory of God. The goal is never spectacle, spiritual pride, or blaming those who suffer.

4. FAITH, PRAYER, SPEAKING, AND FORGIVENESS

Mark 11:22-25

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Matthew 21:21-22

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Romans 4:16-21

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Hebrews 10:23, 35-36

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) ... Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

1 John 5:14-15

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

• Matthew 6:9-13: Jesus’ model prayer begins with the Father, His name, kingdom, and will.

• James 1:5-8: Ask for wisdom in faith rather than divided loyalty.
• James 5:13-18: Prayer, praise, elders, anointing, confession, and perseverance belong together.

Reconciliation note

Romans 4:17 says that God “calleth those things which be not as though they were.” The verse magnifies God’s life-giving power. Believers rightly speak His promises and testify to His faithfulness, but the text does not make human speech independently sovereign. Mark 11 also includes faith in God, prayer, and forgiveness. Confession is strongest when it remains God-centered, relational, obedient, and free from presumption.

5. THE WORD AS LIFE, MEDICINE, AND MENTAL RENEWAL

Proverbs 4:20-24

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Philippians 4:6-9

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Meditation

“Taking the Word like medicine” means sustained exposure to truth that renews perception, strengthens faith, exposes lies, calls for obedience, and directs the heart toward God. It is not magical recitation. The Word is living because God speaks through it by the Spirit.

6. PEACE, FEAR, ANXIETY, AND SOUNDNESS OF MIND

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 26:3-4 — added for completion

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.

• Romans 8:15: Believers have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.
• Hebrews 4:16: Come boldly to the throne of grace for timely help.

Meditation

Freedom from fear does not mean the nervous system never reacts or that concern is sinful. It means fear is not lord. Bring bodily sensations, thoughts, and circumstances into prayer; receive truth; take wise action; and let Christ’s peace guard rather than shame you.

7. PROTECTION, REFUGE, AND REST

Psalm 91:1-16 — personalized from the original compilation

I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

He delivers from hidden snares and destructive danger. He covers me, and under His wings I trust. His truth is my shield and buckler. I will not live under the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, the pestilence that walks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

Though danger surrounds me, I keep my eyes on the Lord. I make the LORD, even the Most High, my habitation. I trust His protection without testing Him or behaving recklessly. He gives His angels charge concerning His purposes for me.

Because I set my love upon Him, He delivers me. He sets me on high because I know His name. I call upon Him, and He answers me. He is with me in trouble. He delivers and honors me. With long life He satisfies me and shows me His salvation.

Psalm 121:1-8 — added for completion

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalm 4:8 — added for restful sleep

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Isaiah 54:10, 13-17

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. ... And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. ... No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Reconciliation note: protection is not permission to test God

In Matthew 4:5-7, Satan quoted Psalm 91 in order to entice Jesus into a reckless display. Jesus answered, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” Biblical protection produces trust, obedience, prudence, and peace—not denial of danger, refusal of sensible precautions, or deliberate exposure to harm.

8. THE ARMOR OF GOD AND CHRIST-CENTERED SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Colossians 1:13-14 — added to complete the victory sequence

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 2:13-15

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Hebrews 2:14-15

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

1 John 3:8

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 4:4

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 5:4-5 — added for completion

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Revelation 12:10-11

Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Romans 16:20

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

The biblical posture of warfare

1. Stand in what Christ has done. Victory begins at the cross and resurrection, not with our volume or imagination.
2. Submit to God. James 4:7 places surrender before resistance.
3. Use the whole armor. Truth, righteousness, gospel peace, faith, salvation, Scripture, prayer, watchfulness, and perseverance belong together.
4. Resist soberly. First Peter 5:8-9 rejects both carelessness and panic.
5. Do not rail proudly. Jude 9 records Michael saying, “The Lord rebuke thee.” Authority remains under God.
6. Do not fight people. Ephesians 6:12 explicitly excludes flesh and blood as the enemy.
7. Close doors through repentance and forgiveness. Ephesians 4:26-32 warns against giving place to the devil through sustained anger, corrupt speech, bitterness, and malice.
8. Stay centered on Jesus. Endless fascination with Satan is not victory. Worship, obedience, truth, love, and gospel witness keep Christ central.

Warfare confession

Jesus Christ is Lord. The Father has delivered me from the power of darkness and brought me into the kingdom of His beloved Son. Christ has forgiven my sins, canceled the record against me, and triumphed over principalities and powers. I submit to God. I resist the devil. I stand in truth, righteousness, gospel peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer. I reject fear, accusation, deception, bitterness, pride, occult curiosity, and hostility toward people. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. I overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony. The God of peace will complete His victory. In Jesus’ name, amen.

9. OBEDIENCE, HOLINESS, AND FREEDOM FROM DECEPTION

The original compilation’s closing devotional correctly insists that victory language cannot be separated from genuine discipleship. Grace is not permission to remain willingly enslaved to sin. At the same time, obedience is the fruit of salvation, not a payment that purchases it.

Romans 6:11-14 — added for completion

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

1 John 2:3-6 — added for completion

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Galatians 5:16 — added for completion

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

James 1:22-25 — added for completion

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Reconciliation note

Do not replace the gospel with self-salvation through moral effort. Do not replace discipleship with a verbal profession that leaves deliberate rebellion untouched. The biblical order is: grace saves, Christ unites us to Himself, the Spirit transforms, faith works through love, and obedience bears witness to living faith.

10. PERSEVERANCE, SUFFERING, HOPE, AND RESURRECTION

Romans 8:18, 26-39 — selected

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. ... Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us. ... And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ... If God be for us, who can be against us? ... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? ... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ... For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 — added for completion

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 — added for balance

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. ... Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

1 Peter 5:10 — added for completion

The Bible’s final answer to sickness is not merely temporary symptom relief but resurrection, incorruption, and the presence of God without death or pain. This future hope does not weaken prayer for healing now; it prevents despair when present experience is incomplete.

11. CORPORATE PRAYER, ELDERS, CAREGIVERS, AND COMMUNITY

Healing ministry in the New Testament is not isolated self-effort. Believers pray for one another, call elders, confess faults, bear burdens, use gifts, and care for bodies and souls.

James 5:14-16

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Matthew 18:19-20

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Galatians 6:2 — added for completion

Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Related passages added for completion

• Romans 12:9-15: Love sincerely; rejoice and weep with others.
• 1 Corinthians 12:7-27: The body needs every member and suffers together.
• Ephesians 6:18: Pray for all saints with perseverance.
• Colossians 4:2-4: Continue in prayer with watchfulness and thanksgiving.
• 1 Thessalonians 5:11, 14-18: Comfort, support the weak, be patient, pray continually, and give thanks.
• Hebrews 10:24-25: Encourage one another and do not abandon gathering.

Community confession

I do not have to carry this alone. I receive prayer, wisdom, care, correction, encouragement, and practical help from the body of Christ. I also bear the burdens of others without judgment. Jesus is present among His people.

12. PRAISE, GRATITUDE, CONTENTMENT, AND FUTURE HOPE

Psalm 136:1

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Psalm 18:2

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Philippians 4:11-13

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Reconciliation notes

• Philippians 4:13 concerns Christ’s strength for faithfulness through both abundance and need. It is not a promise of unlimited achievement detached from God’s calling.
• 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says to give thanks in every circumstance, not to call evil good or deny grief.
• Jeremiah 29:11 was spoken to exiles within a long process of judgment, waiting, return, and restoration. It reveals God’s peaceful purpose without promising immediate escape from every difficult season.

Praise confession

The Lord is good, and His mercy endures forever. He is my rock, fortress, deliverer, strength, shield, salvation, and high tower. Through Christ I receive strength to remain faithful in abundance and in need. I rejoice, continue in prayer, and give thanks in every circumstance. God’s purposes are peaceful, redemptive, and full of hope. I will praise Him before, during, and after the answer.

PART VI — FIVE PRAYERS

PRAYER 1 — HEALING AND WHOLE-PERSON RESTORATION

Scripture foundation: Exodus 15:26; Psalm 30:2; Psalm 103:1-5; Psalm 107:19-21; Isaiah 53:4-5; Jeremiah 17:14; Jeremiah 30:17; Matthew 8:16-17; Romans 8:11; James 5:14-16; 1 Peter 2:24.

Father, I come to You through Jesus Christ. You are holy, faithful, compassionate, and mighty to save. I bless Your name and remember Your benefits. You forgive iniquity, heal disease, redeem life from destruction, crown with lovingkindness and tender mercies, satisfy with good things, and renew strength.

Lord Jesus, You bore sin in Your body on the tree. You were wounded for transgressions and bruised for iniquities. The chastisement of peace was upon You. You carried griefs and sorrows, and You are the compassionate High Priest who understands weakness.

I bring You my actual condition: every symptom, diagnosis, injury, wound, limitation, fear, question, and need. I will not hide the facts from You, and I will not make the facts my god. You are greater than what I see, feel, or understand.

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise. Send Your Word and bring deliverance. Restore health. Bind wounds. Give wisdom to every physician, nurse, therapist, counselor, caregiver, pastor, family member, and friend involved in my care. Expose error, prevent harm, guide decisions, and open the right doors.

Holy Spirit, You raised Jesus from the dead and dwell in believers. Quicken my mortal body according to the Father’s will. Strengthen what is weak. Bring order where there is disorder, peace where there is agitation, rest where there is exhaustion, and hope where discouragement has settled.

Show me any faithful action I must take. Give me humility to receive help, discipline to follow sound guidance, courage to ask questions, and freedom from shame. I reject the lie that receiving care is unbelief. My body belongs to You; teach me to honor You with it.

I forgive those who have wounded, neglected, misunderstood, or failed me. I release them to Your justice and mercy. Cleanse my heart from bitterness. Where I have sinned, I confess it and receive the cleansing of Jesus. Where accusation is false, silence it with the truth of the gospel.

I ask boldly for healing, and I submit humbly to Your perfect wisdom. Sustain me while I wait. Let Christ’s strength be made perfect in weakness. Let no delay become condemnation. Let no improvement become pride. Let every testimony glorify Jesus.

Whether Your work appears suddenly, progressively, through ordinary means, through extraordinary intervention, or is finally completed in resurrection, keep me faithful. I believe You hear me. I trust Your love. I receive Your peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

PRAYER 2 — PEACE OVER FEAR, ANXIETY, AND TROUBLED THOUGHTS

Scripture foundation: Psalm 46:1; Isaiah 26:3-4; Isaiah 41:10; John 14:27; Philippians 4:6-9; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Peter 5:6-7; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.

Father, You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I humble myself under Your mighty hand and cast every care upon You because You care for me.

I name before You the thoughts that frighten me, the possibilities I cannot control, the reports I do not understand, and the bodily sensations that trigger alarm. I refuse to let fear become my master. You have not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

In Jesus’ name, I take captive thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. I reject catastrophic imagination, hopeless prediction, self-accusation, and obsessive rehearsal. I do not suppress responsible concern; I bring it under the obedience of Christ and seek wisdom.

Keep me in perfect peace as my mind is stayed on You. Jesus, give me Your peace—not the fragile peace the world gives, but the peace rooted in Your victory and presence. Guard my heart and mind as I make definite requests with thanksgiving.

Teach me to think on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy. Help me distinguish fact from fear, conviction from condemnation, wisdom from compulsion, and spiritual alertness from anxiety.

Strengthen my nervous system, restore healthy sleep, guide my breathing, appetite, focus, and daily rhythm. Lead me to qualified help when needed. Make me willing to receive counsel, therapy, medication, pastoral care, friendship, rest, and practical support without shame.

I will not be dismayed, for You are my God. You strengthen, help, and uphold me. I entrust the unknown to You. Jesus Christ is Lord over my mind, body, night, and future. Amen.

PRAYER 3 — PSALM 91 PROTECTION FOR SELF, HOME, AND FAMILY

Scripture foundation: Psalm 4:8; Psalm 27; Psalm 46; Psalm 91; Psalm 121; Isaiah 43:1-2; Isaiah 54:14-17; John 10:27-30; 2 Thessalonians 3:3.

Most High God, I dwell in Your presence and place my trust under Your shadow. You are my refuge, fortress, and God. My confidence is not in superstition, ritual, or reckless behavior; my confidence is in Your faithful character.

Cover me, my household, and those entrusted to my care. Protect our going out and coming in. Give wisdom concerning travel, work, health, weather, technology, finances, relationships, and every practical responsibility. Expose hidden danger and lead us away from it. Keep us alert without fear and prudent without anxiety.

Deliver from traps, deception, violence, malicious intent, destructive habits, avoidable accidents, and spiritual oppression. Guard our minds from terror in the night and our decisions from confusion in the day. Preserve our dwelling and give us peace.

You neither slumber nor sleep. Be our keeper and shade. When we pass through waters, be with us; when through rivers, do not let them overflow; when through fire, preserve us according to Your wisdom and purpose.

Let no accusation overturn the righteousness You give in Christ. Let no weapon defeat Your purpose. Teach our children and grant them great peace. Establish us in righteousness, far from oppression and terror.

We will not test You, ignore safety, or quote protection promises as permission for foolishness. We receive Your guidance and obey it. Give Your angels charge according to Your will, and order our steps.

Because we set our love upon You, answer when we call. Be with us in trouble. Deliver, honor, satisfy, and show us Your salvation. We lie down in peace and sleep because You make us dwell in safety. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER 4 — SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND VICTORY IN CHRIST

Scripture foundation: Luke 10:19; John 12:31; John 16:11, 33; Colossians 1:13-14; Colossians 2:13-15; Hebrews 2:14-15; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9; 1 John 3:8; 1 John 4:4; Ephesians 6:10-18; Revelation 12:11; Romans 16:20.

Father, I worship You as the only true God. Jesus Christ is Lord, crucified, risen, reigning, interceding, and coming again. The Holy Spirit dwells in Your people. Salvation, power, the kingdom of God, and the authority of Christ belong to You.

Thank You for delivering me from the power of darkness and bringing me into the kingdom of Your beloved Son. In Jesus I have redemption and forgiveness. The record against me was nailed to the cross. Christ disarmed principalities and powers and triumphed over them.

I submit myself to God. I repent of known sin, pride, bitterness, unforgiveness, deception, occult involvement, destructive agreements, and every practice contrary to Christ. Cleanse me through the blood of Jesus and renew a right spirit within me.

I resist the devil, steadfast in faith. I reject accusation where Christ has justified, fear where God is present, deception where Scripture speaks truth, temptation where the Spirit provides escape, and despair where resurrection gives hope.

I put on the whole armor of God:

• Truth: I reject lies and bring hidden things into the light.
• Righteousness: I receive Christ’s righteousness and practice what is right.
• Gospel peace: I refuse hostility and carry the good news of reconciliation.
• Faith: I quench fiery darts by trusting God’s character and promise.
• Salvation: I guard my mind with the finished work and future hope of Christ.
• The Word: I answer deception with Scripture understood in context.
• Prayer: I pray in the Spirit with watchfulness, perseverance, and concern for all saints.

I declare that people are not my spiritual enemy. I bless those who oppose me, set wise boundaries, pursue truth and justice, and refuse hatred. I will not rail arrogantly at spiritual powers; I remain under the Lord’s authority and say, “The Lord rebuke thee.”

Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. I overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of testimony. My testimony is that Jesus saves, forgives, rules, sustains, and will make all things new.

God of peace, complete Your victory. Establish me, keep me from evil, and make me faithful. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER 5 — NIGHT PRAYER FOR RELEASE, SLEEP, AND RENEWAL

Scripture foundation: Psalm 3:5; Psalm 4:8; Psalm 23; Psalm 91; Psalm 121; Philippians 4:6-9; Lamentations 3:22-23.

Father, thank You for carrying me through this day. I give You what was completed and what remains unfinished. I release every conversation, decision, symptom, expense, responsibility, and unanswered question into Your hands.

Search me and show me anything that requires confession, correction, reconciliation, or action. I receive the cleansing of Jesus. I forgive every person who offended, disappointed, frightened, or angered me. I release revenge and entrust justice to You.

I refuse to rehearse fear through the night. I make my requests known with thanksgiving, and I receive the peace of God to guard my heart and mind. Let my thoughts settle upon what is true and praiseworthy.

You are my Shepherd. Restore my soul. Lead me beside still waters. Even in the valley, You are with me. Your rod and staff comfort me. Goodness and mercy follow me.

I will both lay me down in peace and sleep, for You alone make me dwell in safety. You keep me and do not slumber. Protect my home and everyone in it. Quiet pain, regulate my body, renew strength, and grant restorative sleep according to Your mercy.

Your mercies will be new in the morning. I entrust my spirit, soul, body, family, work, and future to Jesus Christ. Amen.

PART VII — SEVEN-DAY MEDITATION CYCLE

This cycle keeps the material active without requiring the entire guide every day. Repeat weekly, or remain on one day’s theme as long as needed.

DAY 1 — THE CHARACTER AND FAITHFULNESS OF GOD

Read: Exodus 15:26; 1 Kings 8:56; Psalm 103:1-5; Psalm 136:1; Hebrews 13:8; 2 Thessalonians 3:3.

Key truth: God’s character, not emotional intensity, is the foundation of faith.

Confess: The Lord is good, faithful, merciful, present, and mighty to save. Not one word of His good promise fails. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Practice: List five benefits or mercies you refuse to forget.

DAY 2 — THE CROSS, RESURRECTION, AND CHRIST’S INTERCESSION

Read: Isaiah 53:3-6; Matthew 8:16-17; Romans 8:31-34; Colossians 1:13-14; Colossians 2:13-15; 1 Peter 2:21-25.

Key truth: Healing and victory begin with what Christ has done, not what you can produce.

Confess: Jesus bore sin and sorrow, rose from the dead, reigns, and intercedes. I have redemption, forgiveness, peace with God, and hope in His complete victory.

Practice: Take communion reverently where appropriate, or spend ten minutes thanking Jesus for specific aspects of redemption.

DAY 3 — THE WORD, FAITH, AND RENEWED THINKING

Read: Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Proverbs 4:20-23; Romans 10:17; Romans 12:2; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5.

Key truth: Faith grows as the Word is heard, meditated upon, obeyed, and allowed to expose false thought.

Confess: God’s Word is living and powerful. I attend, hear, meditate, obey, and bring every thought into the obedience of Christ.

Practice: Choose one passage, copy it by hand, read it aloud seven times slowly, and write one concrete act of obedience.

DAY 4 — PEACE, COURAGE, AND SOUNDNESS OF MIND

Read: Psalm 46; Isaiah 26:3-4; Isaiah 41:10; John 14:27; Philippians 4:6-9; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Peter 5:6-7.

Key truth: Fear may speak, but it does not rule. God’s presence, peace, love, and wisdom govern the believer.

Confess: God has not given me the spirit of fear. He strengthens, helps, upholds, and keeps me in peace as my mind is stayed on Him.

Practice: Write each anxiety as a definite request, add one thanksgiving beside it, and identify one wise action.

DAY 5 — HEALING, RESTORATION, AND WISE CARE

Read: Psalm 30:2; Psalm 103:1-5; Psalm 107:19-21; Jeremiah 17:14; Jeremiah 30:17; James 5:14-16; Romans 8:11; Isaiah 38:21.

Key truth: Ask confidently for healing, receive prayer, honor the body, and use wise means without shame.

Confess: Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed. The Spirit who raised Jesus dwells in me. I receive prayer, wisdom, practical care, and sustaining grace.

Practice: Complete one overdue health action: schedule, refill, follow-up, rest, hydration, movement, testing, or request for prayer.

DAY 6 — PROTECTION, ARMOR, AND VICTORY

Read: Psalm 91; Psalm 121; Ephesians 6:10-18; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9; 1 John 4:4; Revelation 12:11.

Key truth: Christ has triumphed; therefore submit to God, stand soberly, and resist without fear or pride.

Confess: I dwell in the Most High. I am strong in the Lord. I submit to God, resist the devil, and stand in the armor of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer.

Practice: Forgive one person, reject one recurring lie with Scripture, and pray for another believer.

DAY 7 — WORSHIP, ENDURANCE, AND RESURRECTION HOPE

Read: Psalm 118:17; Romans 8:18, 26-39; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Hebrews 10:35-36; 1 Peter 5:10; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; Revelation 21:1-5.

Key truth: Present suffering is not final. Nothing separates believers from Christ, and resurrection completes the promise of wholeness.

Confess: I do not faint. The Spirit helps my infirmities. Nothing separates me from God’s love. Death will be swallowed up in victory, and God will make all things new.

Practice: Worship without asking for anything for ten minutes, then write a testimony of grace already present in your journey.

PART VIII — CONTEXT, RECONCILIATION, AND GUARDRAILS

This section explains how the revised guide handles passages that were duplicated, mixed across translations, or used outside their immediate setting in the original compilation. These notes strengthen confession by anchoring it in what the texts actually say.

1. Exodus 15:26; Exodus 23:25-26; Deuteronomy 7:14-15; Deuteronomy 28:1-14

These are covenant texts addressed to Israel. They reveal God’s character, His concern for obedience and communal well-being, and His covenant blessing. Christians may receive instruction and hope from them, but should not erase their historical setting or turn every line into an unconditional individual guarantee detached from Christ and the New Covenant.

Reconciled use: Read them as testimony to the Lord who heals, provides, blesses, and calls His people to faithful obedience. Interpret inheritance and covenant blessing through Christ, especially Galatians 3:13-14, 29 and the wider New Testament.

2. Deuteronomy 28:61

The original “30 Healing Scriptures” list included Deuteronomy 28:61. In context, this verse describes additional sickness under covenant curse; it is not a positive healing promise.

Reconciled use: It has been removed from the daily promise sequence and retained only as a context warning: the law exposes curse and judgment, while Galatians 3:13 directs attention to Christ’s redemptive work.

3. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 — “Choose life”

This is Moses’ covenant appeal to Israel to love, obey, and cleave to the Lord. It is more profound than choosing a preferred circumstance by force of will.

Reconciled use: Confess it as a choice to belong to God, love Him, obey His voice, reject destructive paths, and receive Him as life. Do not use it to blame someone whose illness continues.

4. Psalm 91

Psalm 91 is rightly used as a confession of refuge and protection. Yet Matthew 4:5-7 shows that Scripture can be quoted wrongly: Satan cited the psalm to tempt Jesus into testing God.

Reconciled use: Trust God deeply, follow His guidance, and refuse fear. Also use safety, prudence, treatment, and responsible action. Protection promises do not authorize deliberate exposure to danger.

5. Psalm 103:3 — “Who healeth all thy diseases”

Psalm 103 is worship that remembers the totality of God’s benefits: forgiveness, healing, redemption, lovingkindness, satisfaction, and renewal.

Reconciled use: Praise God as healer and ask confidently. Let the psalm point both to present mercies and to the final renewal in which every effect of sin and death is removed.

6. Psalm 118:17 — “I shall not die, but live”

The psalmist testifies to deliverance from severe chastening and enemies. The line is a powerful declaration of present hope and purpose, but no believer uses it to deny physical mortality indefinitely.

Reconciled use: Confess life, purpose, testimony, and deliverance while anchoring final victory in Christ’s resurrection.

7. Proverbs 4:20-23 — the Word as health

The passage speaks of wisdom’s life-giving effect upon the whole person and immediately joins hearing, seeing, keeping the heart, and governing speech.

Reconciled use: “Medicine” means sustained reception of divine wisdom—attention, meditation, obedience, guarded thought, and truthful speech—not a mechanical verbal technique.

8. Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; 1 Peter 2:24

These passages connect Christ’s suffering with grief, sorrow, infirmity, sickness, sin, peace, righteousness, and healing. Christian traditions differ over how bodily healing is applied in the present age and on what timetable. The texts unquestionably center healing in Christ’s redemptive work.

Reconciled use: Pray boldly for bodily healing and receive the whole saving work of Christ. Do not reduce “healing” to one dimension, and do not condemn sufferers when present experience is incomplete.

9. Isaiah 54:17 — “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper”

The promise belongs to the restored servants of the Lord and is joined to covenant peace, righteousness, and vindication.

Reconciled use: Trust that no accusation, attack, or instrument can overturn God’s final purpose. This does not mean believers never suffer harm, conflict, persecution, or loss; it means evil does not possess ultimate authority over God’s inheritance.

10. Jeremiah 1:12 — “I will hasten my word to perform it”

In context, God confirms Jeremiah’s prophetic vision concerning judgment and His watchfulness over His Word.

Reconciled use: It supports confidence that God watches over what He has actually spoken. It is not a general promise that every personalized desire will happen immediately.

11. Jeremiah 30:17

This promise concerns the restoration of Zion, called an outcast. It reveals God’s restorative heart within a larger prophetic setting.

Reconciled use: Pray it as a biblical witness to God’s power to restore health and heal wounds while respecting its corporate and prophetic context.

12. Joel 3:10 — “Let the weak say, I am strong”

This line appears in a prophetic summons to nations preparing for judgment and war. It is not originally a health confession.

Reconciled use: It may inspire courage when clearly identified as an adapted declaration, but it should not serve as a primary healing promise. Stronger direct texts include Isaiah 40:29-31, 2 Corinthians 12:9, and Ephesians 6:10.

13. Nahum 1:9 — “Affliction shall not rise up the second time”

Nahum speaks of God’s judgment against Nineveh. The verse is not a universal guarantee that no sickness, hardship, or attack can recur in an individual believer’s life.

Reconciled use: Retain it as a proclamation that God will finally and decisively end evil—not as a promise against every recurrence of illness.

14. Matthew 8:2-3 — “I will; be thou clean”

Jesus’ answer to the leper displays compassion and authority. The narrative reveals what Jesus did in that encounter.

Reconciled use: Let it build confidence in Christ’s willingness to receive the unclean and suffering. Ask boldly without turning one narrative sentence into a weapon of condemnation against anyone awaiting healing.

15. Matthew 18:18-20

This passage occurs in teaching about church discipline, agreement, and Christ’s presence among gathered believers.

Reconciled use: It supports corporate prayer and responsible kingdom authority. It should not be treated as an unlimited private blank check detached from Jesus’ name, character, community, and will.

16. Mark 11:22-25

The original material emphasized speaking to mountains and believing. The surrounding teaching also says, “Have faith in God,” speaks of prayer, and explicitly commands forgiveness.

Reconciled use: Keep all four elements together: faith in God, courageous speech, believing prayer, and forgiveness. Faith-filled confession is relational and obedient, not autonomous control.

17. Mark 16:9-20

The original compilation includes the longer ending of Mark, including signs, serpents, poison, and laying hands on the sick. Ancient manuscripts differ regarding this ending, and Christian traditions evaluate the textual question differently.

Regardless of that discussion, Scripture never authorizes deliberately handling dangerous creatures, drinking poison, rejecting medical care, or testing God.

Reconciled use: Retain the call to preach the gospel and pray for the sick. Reject every reckless or theatrical misuse.

18. Romans 4:17 — calling things that are not

The grammatical subject is God: He gives life to the dead and calls those things which be not as though they were. Abraham’s faith responded to God’s specific promise.

Reconciled use: Speak in agreement with what God has said and become fully persuaded of His ability. Do not treat human words as an independent creative force equal to God’s sovereignty.

19. Romans 8:11

The Spirit who raised Jesus gives life to mortal bodies. The chapter’s larger horizon includes present life in the Spirit, suffering, groaning, help in infirmity, adoption, and future bodily redemption.

Reconciled use: Pray for life and strength now while also embracing Romans 8:18-39 and the future redemption of the body in Romans 8:23.

20. 2 Corinthians 4:18 — looking beyond what is seen

Paul does not deny visible affliction. He names suffering and contrasts its temporary nature with eternal glory.

Reconciled use: Do not falsify reports or ignore evidence. Refuse to treat temporary evidence as ultimate, and keep eternal truth in view.

21. Galatians 3:13-14, 29

Christ redeems from the curse of the law so that the blessing of Abraham and the promise of the Spirit come to the nations through faith.

Reconciled use: Center the confession on Christ, the cross, justification, the Spirit, and union with the promised Seed. Avoid treating Deuteronomy’s material blessings as a detached formula for guaranteed personal outcomes.

22. Philippians 2:13

God works in believers to will and to do His good pleasure. The original AMPC wording emphasizes divine energizing.

Reconciled use: Confess dependence on God’s active grace while continuing to obey. The verse does not eliminate human participation; it grounds it in God’s work.

23. Philippians 4:6-9

Prayer, definite requests, thanksgiving, peace, disciplined thought, learned practice, and the presence of the God of peace form one sequence.

Reconciled use: Do more than repeat “do not be anxious.” Name requests, give thanks, direct thought toward truth, and practice what is learned. Anxiety symptoms are not a reason for shame; they are an invitation to prayer, support, and wise care.

24. James 5:14-16

The passage includes elders, prayer, anointing with oil, the name of the Lord, raising up, forgiveness where sin is involved, mutual confession, and fervent prayer.

Reconciled use: Healing prayer is communal and pastoral, not merely private declaration. Confess actual sin where present, but do not assume every sickness is caused by personal sin.

25. 3 John 2

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health” is an apostolic greeting and prayerful wish to Gaius.

Reconciled use: Receive it as evidence that bodily health and soul prosperity are legitimate matters of Christian concern. Do not make a greeting carry the full weight of a universal covenant formula.

26. Revelation 12:11

The saints overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the word of testimony, and faithfulness even unto death. The verse is not merely a promise of comfort or earthly invulnerability.

Reconciled use: Confess Christ’s blood, testify truthfully, reject accusation, and remain faithful whatever the cost.

27. Satan is defeated—yet believers remain watchful

The original document contains both decisive-victory texts and present-conflict texts. They should not be forced into contradiction.

• Decisive victory accomplished: John 12:31; Colossians 2:15; Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8.
• Present resistance required: Ephesians 6:10-18; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9; 2 Corinthians 2:11.
• Final judgment certain: Revelation 20:10; 1 Corinthians 15:26.

Reconciled use: Live from Christ’s accomplished victory, practice sober resistance now, and hope in final judgment and resurrection.

28. Authority remains under Christ

Luke 10:19, Mark 16, Acts, and other authority texts must be read under Jesus’ lordship. Jude 9 warns against proud railing; Acts 19:13-16 warns against using Jesus’ name as a technique without relationship and submission.

Reconciled use: Exercise authority through union with Christ, obedience, humility, truth, prayer, and the Holy Spirit—not bravado, formula, or spiritual performance.

29. Medical means and faith

Several biblical details prevent a false choice between prayer and care:

• Isaiah 38:21: A lump of figs was applied to Hezekiah’s boil while God answered prayer.
• Luke 5:31: Jesus acknowledged that the sick need a physician.
• Colossians 4:14: Luke is called “the beloved physician.”
• 1 Timothy 5:23: Paul advised a practical remedy for Timothy’s recurring infirmities.
• 2 Timothy 4:20: Trophimus remained sick at Miletum despite apostolic ministry.

Reconciled use: Pray boldly, seek qualified care, test advice wisely, and reject shame. Practical means may be among God’s ordinary gifts.

30. Confession without condemnation

Do not infer that persistent illness proves:

• God has rejected the sufferer.
• The person secretly wants to be sick.
• The person failed to repeat enough words.
• Every symptom is a demon.
• Every medical intervention is fear.
• Every delay is punishment.

The New Testament calls believers to compassion, burden-bearing, patient prayer, wise discernment, and hope. Conviction is specific and redemptive; condemnation is sweeping and hopeless.

31. A concise rule for interpreting every declaration

Before personalizing a verse, ask:

1. What did the passage mean in its immediate context?
2. What does it reveal about God?
3. How does it relate to Jesus Christ and the gospel?
4. Is it a command, promise, prayer, proverb, greeting, narrative, warning, or prophecy?
5. Is there a condition such as abiding, forgiveness, obedience, patience, or “according to His will”?
6. What related passages balance or complete it?
7. What faithful action should follow?

This method protects the power of Scripture from both unbelieving neglect and careless misuse.

K. CONTEXT-DEPENDENT OR REFERENCE-ONLY PASSAGES

These passages were present in the original compilation but are not used as direct daily healing declarations in the revised guide:

• Deuteronomy 28:61: covenant curse, not a healing promise.
• Joel 3:10: wartime/judgment oracle; not primarily a health text.
• Nahum 1:9: judgment against Nineveh; not a universal non-recurrence promise.
• Revelation 12:1-17; 16:13; 19:1-21; 20:1-15: important apocalyptic background, but not all details belong in a daily confession.
• Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:1-24: origin and nature of temptation, sin, and death.
• Job 1:6: narrative background for accusation and suffering.
• 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6: judgment of rebellious angels.
• 1 Timothy 3:6: warning against pride.
• 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12: warning against deception and lawlessness.
• Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:14-15: final holiness and judgment warnings.
• Mark 16:9-20: retained with textual and safety caution.
• 3 John 2: greeting and wish, not a comprehensive doctrine of guaranteed prosperity.

L. CORRECTIONS OF MALFORMED OR DUPLICATED REFERENCES

• The occurrence rendered as “John 5:14, 15” in the scraped “30 Healing Scriptures” area was reconciled to 1 John 5:14-15, consistent with the quoted wording.
• Repeated forms such as Psalm 103:1-5 / Psalm 103:2-5, Proverbs 4:20-24 / 4:20-22, and Psalm 107:17, 19-21 / 107:19-21 / 107:20 were consolidated without losing the larger passage.
• Ephesians 6:10-17 was expanded through verse 18 so prayer, watchfulness, perseverance, and intercession remain part of the armor passage.
• Mark 11:22-24 was expanded through verse 25 so forgiveness is not omitted.
• Multiple copies of the same “Daily Dose of Healing Scriptures to Confess” were combined into the Master Daily Confession.

PART X — SOURCE AND EDITORIAL NOTES

Source lineage preserved from the original document

The uploaded compilation brought together material attributed to or drawn from:

1. A Kenneth Copeland Ministries healing-Scripture collection, including the attribution to Dodie Osteen’s long-used healing list and the Charles Capps “medicine” quotation.
2. Repeated “Daily Dose of Healing Scriptures to Confess” material.
3. A “30 Healing Scriptures” list.
4. A first-person Psalm 91 prayer and a composite healing prayer.
5. Large topical search-result collections concerning “Satan Defeated,” including BibleGateway-style result fragments and a Knowing Jesus topical list.
6. A devotional article titled “Satan Is a Defeated Foe,” emphasizing Christ’s victory, faithful obedience, resistance to deception, and perseverance.

The revision preserves these streams as source history while replacing pasted-page disorder with a single coherent devotional structure.

Translation policy

• The revised guide uses KJV for the primary full-text Scripture quotations.
• Original AMPC and ESV material informed several expanded first-person statements, but long mixed-translation blocks were not repeated.
• First-person declarations are clearly devotional paraphrases, not presented as exact Bible quotations.
• Added passages are identified in their sections or in the reference index.

What was removed

• Exact duplicate healing lists.
• Repeated “Daily Dose” sections.
• Repeated Psalm 91 declarations.
• “Helpful votes,” “Verse Concepts,” search-engine headings, dates, and scraped navigation fragments.
• Duplicate Satan references that added no new theme.
• Irrelevant search-result verses that appeared only because of broad keyword matching.
• Long copied source commentary where a concise, Scripture-grounded reconciliation served the purpose better.

What was strengthened

• Christ’s cross, resurrection, reign, and intercession as the center.
• Prayer according to God’s will.
• Forgiveness as part of Mark 11.
• Prayer and watchfulness as part of the armor of God.
• The difference between facts and final authority.
• Freedom from condemnation and blame toward sufferers.
• The compatibility of faith, prayer, wise care, and practical means.
• The distinction between accomplished victory, present resistance, and final judgment.
• Obedience and holiness as fruits of grace.
• Resurrection as the final completion of bodily healing.
• Community prayer, elders, caregivers, and mutual burden-bearing.

ONE-MINUTE COMPACT CONFESSION

Father, You are faithful, good, present, and mighty to save. Jesus Christ bore sin and sorrow, rose from the dead, reigns, and intercedes. The Spirit who raised Jesus dwells in me and gives life according to Your will. I attend to Your Word; it renews my mind and strengthens faith. I ask for healing, wisdom, peace, and protection in Jesus’ name. I forgive others, reject condemnation, submit to You, and resist the devil. I stand in truth, righteousness, gospel peace, faith, salvation, Scripture, and prayer. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Nothing can separate me from Your love. I receive wise care, sustaining grace, and resurrection hope. I shall live and declare the works of the Lord. Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours be done. Amen.

FINAL BLESSING

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Jude 24-25

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, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
