The Living Word

I decree that: 1. I am created for blessing, and as a result I am overtaken by blessings in every area of my life. 2. I am blessed in the city and blessed in the country. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. 3. Everything I put my hand to is blessed. My family is blessed. My provision is blessed. All that pertains to me is blessed. 4. I am blessed with victory in every challenge or obstacle I face, for I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath. 5. The Lord has blessed me so that I will be a blessing to others. I cheerfully and bountifully sow blessings into the lives of others, and therefore I reap blessings bountifully. 6. The Lord blesses me and keeps me. He makes His face to shine upon me and is gracious to me. He lifts up His countenance upon me and gives me peace. 7. I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, and in Him have been granted everything that pertains to life and godliness. 8. Grace and peace have been multiplied to me, and I have been granted the blessings of all of God’s magnificent and glorious promises in Christ Jesus. 9. It is written that what God has blessed no man can curse; therefore, I am blessed in the Lord and cannot be cursed. 10. I am blessed far above all I’m able to ask, think, or imagine!

decree that: 1. I am truly blessed with a fruitful life. 2. I am like a tree that’s firmly planted by streams of living water with green, healthy leaves producing fruit in due season. 3. I am not anxious when there is lack all around me and when times seem difficult, because I am a fruitful vine, always producing and bearing good fruit. 4. I flourish like the palm tree. 5. I continue to grow strong and upright in my life and faith. 6. I will still yield fruit in old age, and I will be full of abundance, energy, and vitality because the fruit of righteous is a tree of life. 7. I abide in Christ, and therefore I manifest the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 8. The fruit I bear in my life is better than gold and the choicest silver. 9. The fruit of Christ’s light in me consists of goodness, righteousness, and truth. I am fully satisfied with good by the fruit of my words, and the deeds of my hands return to me. 10. I am destined to bear good fruit because of God’s faithful love for me.

The idea for the title and approach of this book comes from Steven Covey's popular book entitled, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." Covey's research found that highly effective and thus successful people who made an impact in their various fields shared a specific set of character traits and habits which he analyzed and summarized in seven categories.

I decree that: 1. I am loved with an everlasting love, and with lovingkindness God has drawn me to Himself. 2. I bask in this love and nothing whatsoever will ever separate me from this love God has poured upon me. 3. God’s love for me never fails; it is rich and forgiving, so gentle and kind. 4. God’s love is over me as a banner that gives me covering and victory, leading me in the way I should go. 5. I follow after Him because He draws me with His intimate love. 6. I have been called to know this rich love that surpasses knowledge so that I am filled with His fullness. 7. I truly am the object of His deepest love and affection! 8. Because of His love for me, I will never perish but will have everlasting life with Him. 9. The love of God wells up within me like fresh rain from above and overflows me with perfect peace. 10. The Lord pours His unfailing love upon me daily, and as a result I am able to love others freely.
