PURCHASE INDIVIDUAL SUMMIT SESSIONS OR THE COMPLETE SET AT WWW.EVREEVES.ORG PRAYER OF SALVATION By grace, we have been saved by faith; and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 Prayer: Father God, I confess that I am a sinner. I believe with all my heart that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die on a cross and shed His blood to pay the penalty for all of my sins. Thank You for loving me and forgiving me! I also believe that He arose from the dead to prepare an eternal home for me in Heaven. Thank You for saving me. Today I repent, I will to follow You in Spirit and Truth; I need and want You to be my Lord the only Way, the only Truth, and my only Life. Please give me Your Holy Spirit to create in me a pure and clean heart; teach me how to love You and love others. I put my trust in You to lead me to become faithful to You wholeheartedly. In Jesus Name I Pray.
Life Confession Of Faith 2018 We are citizens of the kingdom of God and we have what we say. We are doers of the Word of God and not just hearers only. We hold fast to our confession of faith and we do not faint, lose heart or ever give up. We are what the Word of God says we are, we have what the Word of God says we have, and we can do what the Word of God says we can do. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and guilt, shame and condemnation has no place in our lives. We are God s chosen generation, his royal priesthood, and we are reigning as kings in the earth. We are healed, delivered and set free from sickness and disease. We have a sound mind, healthy body and revitalized soul. We are redeemed from debt, poverty and lack. Every household in New Life is blessed and living under an open heaven. The blessings of the Lord make us rich and add no sorrow with it. We are increasing more and more and wealth and prosperity are in our house. We have strong marriages and families that are knitted together in love and rooted in the Word of God. Our youth fear the Lord and obey and honor their parents. We bind every demonic attack against our families and speak life, joy, love and peace to our home. We plead the blood of Jesus over our bodies, our families, our church family and everything connected to us. New Life is prospering and we have great work to do, and we command finances and resources to come forth now without delay. We declare that the wealth of the wicked, the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places come to us now. We are fighting the good fight of faith. We are overcomers and our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Now, thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus! Amen.
