Romans 6 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Romans 6.

Meditate on and memorize verse 11.

Consider yourselves to be dead to sin,

but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6 is a freeing chapter.  If you are in Christ, this is the truth about you:

            *You have died to sin.

            *You cannot still live in sin.

            *You can walk in newness of life.

            *Your old self was crucified with Christ.

            *Your body of sin can be done away with.

            *You are no longer a slave of sin.

            *You are freed from sin.

            *You live with Christ.

            *You live to God.

            *Sin will not be master over you.

            *You are a slave of righteousness.

Satan did not want you to know those facts about yourself, but now you do.  Satan wants you to believe the lie that you will spend the rest of your time on earth struggling with your old nature instead of victoriously living your new identity in Christ to the glory of the Father.  Now that you know the truth about yourself, you can obey the first exhortation in Romans ~ “Consider yourself to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:11).”

Pray Romans 6:3-7 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman.

“LORD, may my family be baptized into You, Christ Jesus, into Your death.

 As we have been buried with You through baptism into death,

may we be raised from the dead through the glory of the Father with Christ,

so we too might walk in newness of life. 

Let my family be united with you, Jesus, in the likeness of Your death,

certainly we will also be in the likeness of Your resurrection.

Let us always know that our old self was crucified with You

 in order that our body of sin might be done away with,

so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;

for he who has died is freed from sin.

In Your Name, Jesus~”
