Romans 8 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Romans 8.

Meditate on verse 1.

Therefore there is now no condemnation

 for those who are in Christ Jesus.

If you are in a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ, say this aloud inserting your name in the blank.  “There is now no condemnation for _________________.”

That is the truth.  That is a fact about you that Satan did not want you to know.  Stop condemning yourself for sins you committed in the past.  God does not condemn you, and He tells you in Romans 8 how to stop the condemnation you keep heaping on yourself.  Set your mind on the things of the Holy Spirit.  When your mindset is on the Spirit the result is life and peace.  You can change your mindset by reading the Bible everyday, memorizing a phrase or two, and using God’s Word to take your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).  For example, every time your mind starts to wander to your past, say “there is now no condemnation for me because I am in Christ Jesus.”  Say it hundreds of times until your mindset changes.  God wants you to live in His life and peace.  You can live there when your mind is set on the Truth.

Pray Romans 8:5-11 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please help _____________ and me no longer

set our minds on the things of the flesh.

 Let us set our minds on the things of the Spirit. 

For the mind set on the flesh is death,

 but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. 

Those who are in the flesh cannot please You, God. 

LORD, let Your Spirit dwell in _____________ and me. 

We want to belong to You.

  Make our spirits alive because of righteousness. 

Spirit of God, You raised Jesus from the dead.

 Dwell in us.  Give life to our mortal bodies.

In Your Name, Jesus~”
