God is our shield ! ( scriptural declarations for prayer)

He is our shield of salvation : You have also given me 
the shield of  your salvation ....( Psalm 18:35)

This shield lifts us up from discouragement:" But You O 
Lord are a shield for me:my glory , and the lifter up of my head"
(Psalm 3:3)

His shield compasses us with favor: " For You Lord will 
bless the righteous: with favor will you compass him with a shield
(Psalm 5:12)

This same shield is our strength and joy: “The Lord is my
strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him and Am helped ;
therefore my heart greatly rejoices : and with my song will  i praise Him
(Psalm 28:7).
This shield is our help in every situation: Our soul waits for the Lord: 
He is our help and our shield .(Psalm 33:20)

This shield provides grace, glory and all good things: “For the Lord God is a sun
and shield : the Lord will give grace : no good thing will He withhold from them that walk
up rightly "( Psalm 84:11).

This shield of truth is our protection: " He shall cover you with His feathers, and
under His wings shall you trust :His truth shall be your shield and buckler .You shall not be
afraid for the terror by night :nor for the arrow that flies by day :
Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness: nor for the destruction that wastes
at noon day .A thousand shall fall at your side , and ten thousand at your right hand :
but it shall not come near you".
( Psalm 91:4-7)

This shield of faith enables us to stop us the enemy in his tracks:"Above all,
taking the shield of faith , where with you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of 
the wicked .(Ephesians 6:16)

The other side of God's covenant !

There is a negative aspect to the covenant revealed in Genesis 15. God delivered the prophetic word that Abraham 's seed would be in bondage (Genesis 15:13-14) but promised that He would bring them out with great substance .God reconfirmed that Abraham's seed would inherit the promised land  - their destiny .God set Abraham's boundaries , and all the wars of history in and about Israel have not changed these parameters. It is theirs forever!

God has brought you out of sin, shame and bondage to bring you into your God-ordained destiny .All the battles you face will not change the promises God has made .Your Promised Land -your divine destiny - is yours, forever! All you must do is claim it!

Have you experienced bondage? The bondage of sin, the bondage abuse, the bondage of addiction? God's word to you today is that it is time to come out .You will not only come out , you will come out with great substance. God is going to use the difficulties, the pain, the abuse and the rejection you have experienced to touch the lives multitudes. Every difficulty in your life has simply set you on course to your destiny.

In this passage, God also promised Abraham, " And you shall go to your fathers in peace: you shall be buried in a good old age"(Genesis 15:15).He promised Abraham long life , followed by eternal life with his ancestors who had passed on .Now God is not promising that we all will live as long as Abraham , but He is declaring that we will  live to a good old age" You may ask , " But what about those who die young ? When we live under the covenant of Abraham, we will live long enough to fulfill our God given destiny .For some, that will be sooner than others.

Faith is a fact, but it is also an act that’s why Romans 10:9-10 says " That if you shall confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.(verse 10) For with the heart man believes to righteousness : and with the mouth confession is made to salvation .

You can begin or renew your journey now by saying the prayer below and you will possess the promises of the Abraham covenant through Jesus Christ ' the Son of the Living God' .

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner; I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God (John 3:16).I believe that he died on the cross and shed his precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins (Luke 23:33). I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and that he sits on the right hand of God at this moment, Hearing my confession of sin and this prayer.
I open up the door of my heart and i invite you into my heart , Lord Jesus , wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that you shed in my place on the cross at Calvary .You will not turn me away  , you will forgive my sins and save my soul because your word says so.
I know that you've heard me , I know that you've answered me and i know that am saved . Thank you Jesus, for saving my soul.
