We are a monthly newsletter where our aim is to provide actionable ideas to help you grow and implement God’s word into your life.

Isaiah 53:4 (NKJV)

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

In Hebrew:

"griefs" = ḥolî (חֳלִי) — which can also be translated as sickness or infirmity.

"sorrows" = mak ōb (מַכְאֹב) — often translated as pains or suffering.

Health Tip

Physical Gains Begin with the Breath: Try "CO2 Tolerance Training"

Most people overlook this: your breathing efficiency limits your
physical potential. A simple, safe practice called CO₂ Tolerance
Training can improve your stamina, recovery, sleep, and even
mental resilience.
What is it? CO₂ tolerance refers to how well your body handles
rising carbon dioxide levels.

The higher your tolerance, the better your oxygen delivery and
the calmer your nervous system
— crucial for physical and mental performance.

How to try it:

  • Nasal breathe only during walks or light exercise (forces better gas exchange).

  • BOLT Score Test: Time how long you can hold your breath after a normal exhale — 20+ seconds is a good baseline.

  • Breath ladders or box breathing post-exercise to train calm recovery.

    Athletes are now using breathwork like this to mimic altitude training — but you don’t need a mountain, just your lungs.

    Most health tips focus on exercise or diet. But improving your breathing mechanics can upgrade all systems at once — from cardiovascular endurance to mental focus. Plus, it’s free, requires no gear, and can be practiced anywhere.

Habit Building, Part 5

Two Strategies to Combat Fading Motivation

Maybe look through the Habit Building Parts 1 - 4 as a refresher. By this point, you know the desired identity you’re trying to build and you have an implementation intention for inserting this small habit into your daily routine. You may have also made a few environment design changes that help nudge things along. The expectation is that you have performed your habit at least 50-100 times by this point. It’s possible that what we have covered so far is all you need to build a new habit. And, if so, that’s fine. The whole point of these suggestions are to get you results. If it’s working, then it’s working. There’s no need to make it more complex than it needs to be. However, you may have noticed that you started strong and were feeling motivated but have since fallen off course and struggled to complete your habit more than once or twice.

This decline in motivation is something that everyone experiences from time to time. In many areas of life, we assume that if we put in a little bit of effort, we’ll get a little bit of results. So, naturally, when we’re trying our best and putting in a lot of effort, we think we should get a lot of results.

But habits don’t really work this way. Rather than having some linear relationship with achievement, habits tend to have more of a compound growth curve. The greatest returns are delayed. This gap between what we expect and what we experience is what I refer to as the “plateau of latent potential.”

This plateau plays a role in any journey of improvement. You’re putting in work each day, but you feel stuck in this valley of death. You’re accumulating potential, but it hasn’t been released yet. It’s all effort, and no reward. This can be a frustrating experience, and you need something to help you stick with it while you’re waiting for the long-term rewards to accumulate.

Here are two powerful strategies to help you push through:

  1. Temptation Bundling: Pair a “Want” with a “Should”

    Combine something you enjoy with something you need to do.

    Formula: “I will only [something I want to do] when I [something I need to do].”

    Examples: Only listen to your favorite podcast while cleaning the kitchen.

    Only drink your favorite coffee while doing your budget.

    Only binge your favorite show while folding laundry.

    Why it works: Your brain begins to associate the “need-to” task with a rewarding experience — making it more attractive and easier to stick to.

  2. Commitment Devices:

Lock in Your Future Self A commitment device is a decision you make now that makes it easier to follow through later — even when motivation dips.

Examples: Sign up for a fitness class with a no-cancellation policy.

Delete distracting apps from your phone.

Schedule your next appointment before you leave the dentist.

Host a monthly gathering so you're motivated to tidy your home.

The key: Make it harder to back out than to follow through. That added friction keeps you on track.

Bottom Line:

Building lasting habits isn’t about staying “motivated” — it’s about making smart systems that keep you moving, even on low-energy days. Use these tools to bridge the gap between where you are and the results you’re working toward.

Living in the Fullness of Christ: Not Just Forgiven, But Filled

“Whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12, ESV)

This verse wrecked me. Am I really supposed to do greater things than the Lord Jesus Himself?

How is that even possible — Jesus is God in the flesh! How do I even begin to wrap my mind around this verse?

Healing the sick? Casting out demons? Living in constant communion with our Creator — the One who knows every hair on my head? I had received salvation — but what about all these other things Jesus promised?

I hadn’t been taught about healing the sick, casting out demons, or praying in tongues. Yet deep inside, I wanted to step into the fullness Jesus spoke of — a Spirit-empowered life that enables believers to walk in the “greater works.”

The answers begin with being baptized in the Holy Spirit. And sadly, my story is not unique.

Many believers today live in the outer court of forgiveness but never enter the inner sanctuary of power, fellowship, and the purpose for which we were saved.

What we often don’t realize is that the Gospel is not a partial invitation to be forgiven and wait for heaven. It’s a call to live filled — now — to carry heaven with you and walk in the “greater works” Jesus promised. But our awesome God gives us free will. He will not force us to live in His fullness.

We have to want it — to hunger for more, to ask, to receive, and to walk in it. You may ask; What exactly is this ‘fullness’ I’ve been missing out on?

God’s fullness for His believers is nothing less than the complete expression of His life, love, power, presence, and purpose being made real in and through us.

God’s fullness means living the life you were always meant to live—whole, loved, empowered, and connected to Him. It’s not about religion or just trying to be a better person. It’s about receiving everything God offers through Jesus: peace that doesn't break under pressure, love that never gives up on you, healing for what’s broken, and real purpose for your life. When you follow Jesus, you don’t just get forgiven—you get filled with His Spirit so you can live with strength, joy, and hope every single day. It’s not just about getting to heaven someday—it’s about bringing heaven into your life now.

The Gospel of Fullness

Scripture teaches us not only about God’s healing power and unwavering faith but also about the essential relationship between the believer and the Holy Spirit — because only in Him can we walk in the full experience of the Christian life.

The Gospel is not just about forgiveness — it’s about living in resurrection power and walking in divine authority through intimacy with Christ.

Jesus came not only to save us, but to restore us to our rightful place in the Kingdom: forgiven of sin, filled with His Spirit, free from infirmities, and walking in the authority of oneness with God — just as He did.

Through Him, we are called to live in every promise, carry every spiritual blessing, and operate in His delegated power — not only for our benefit, but so our lives become a living testimony of the real, reigning Jesus to the world.

When we live in the fullness of Christ, we radiate His nature, reflect His love, and carry His authority over darkness — revealing that the Kingdom of God is not just a message, but a manifest reality.

From Genesis to Revelation, God’s plan is not just to redeem, but to restore. Not only to forgive, but to fill. And He gave us a blueprint to live by: the book of Acts. It’s not just Church history — it’s the manual for normal Christianity.

  • From Abiding to Overflowing: The Life-Giving Vine (John 15:5)

    Jesus didn’t call us to strive for holiness or struggle in our flesh — He called us to abide in Him, the Source of all fruitfulness and power.

    “I am the vine; you are the branches… apart from Me you can do nothing.”

    Abiding is more than devotional practice — it's living in union with Christ, moment by moment. We don’t manufacture spiritual strength; we receive it through communion.

    Smith Wigglesworth said: “There is nothing impossible with God. All the impossibility is with us when we measure God by the limitations of our unbelief.”

    When we abide in Christ, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11) lives through us — releasing grace, power, and spiritual authority into the world around us.

  • Living from the Heavenlies: Seated, Not Struggling (Ephesians 1:3; 2:6)

    Ephesians reveals a truth the enemy wants us to forget: we are not trying to get to heaven — in Christ, we are already seated in heaven.

    “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:6)

    “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do...” (John 14:12)

    Because Jesus has gone to the Father — and we are in Him — we are now called to continue His works on earth. Jesus said: “Whoever believes in Me will do the works that I do — and greater works...” (John 14:12).

    Authority flows from position, and our position is in Him — above every power, principality, and circumstance.

    To live from the heavenlies is to live from a settled identity and divine jurisdiction:

    • Forgiveness is the entryway.

    • Adoption is your identity.

    • The Holy Spirit is your guarantee.

    • Spiritual blessings are your inheritance.

    • Being seated with Christ is your posture of authority.

    • We don’t fight for victory — we enforce it.

    • True authority doesn’t shout — it abides.

  • Filled with the Spirit: The Power to Live the Life (John 16:7; Acts 1:8)

    Jesus said something stunning and overlooked to this day:

    “It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you.” (John 16:7)

    He wasn’t exaggerating. He was revealing a vital truth: the baptism of the Holy Spirit gives us the power to operate in the authority He has entrusted to us — to do even greater works than He did. While Jesus returned to Heaven to take His seat at the right hand of the Father, He did not leave us alone. He sent the Holy Spirit to continue His work through us, empowering believers to carry out His mission on earth.

    Sadly, many believers today think this power was only for the early Church — as if miracles, boldness, and spiritual authority were reserved for the apostles. But the exact same Holy Spirit given at Pentecost is the same Spirit given to us. God has not changed — His power has not diminished.

    Over time, the Church has traded encounter for tradition, hunger for comfort, and Spirit-led dependence for intellectual control. As a result, our understanding, expectation, and desire for the fullness of Christ have grown dim. But God has not changed. He is still ready to move with power through anyone who believes, abides, and walks in an intimate relationship with Him.

    Unfortunately, many believers stop at the cross and never press into Pentecost. But Scripture makes clear: the Spirit-filled life is the normal Christian life.

    The Holy Spirit is:

    • The seal of your inheritance.

    • The down payment of eternity.

    • The indwelling power for holiness, wisdom, miracles, and fruitfulness.

    • The very presence of God, in you.

    And this is not a one-time filling — it's a lifestyle of overflow. Yielded believers become vessels of both power and authority — as they stay close to the Source.

  • Living From Heaven on Earth: The Kingdom Within (Luke 17:21)

    Jesus declared:

    “The Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21) This Kingdom is not a far-off realm — it’s a present reality carried by Spirit-filled believers.

    • Healing the sick is normal Christianity.

    • Casting out demons is part of everyday ministry.

    • Walking in joy, faith, and fire is the standard, not the exception.

    To live from heaven means:

    • You carry divine solutions into earthly problems.

    • You respond to crisis with peace, knowing your Father is in control.

    • You don’t visit God’s presence — you host Him.

    • You don’t strive for power — you are filled with power to do God’s will.

      The closer you walk with God, the more His authority rests upon you. Demons recognize this.

      So does the world.

    The Spirit-Filled Life: A Call to the Church

    Jesus didn’t die just to make bad people good —

    He died to make dead people alive.

    And He rose to restore our authority and fill us with His Spirit

    Life in Christ means:

    1. Union with Christ (John 15)

    2. Authority through position (Ephesians 2)

    3. Power by the Spirit (Acts 1:8)

    4. Fruitfulness through abiding (Galatians 5)

We were never meant to live in the outer court — the veil has been torn.

We were never meant to beg God to fulfill our own desires. We were created to seek His desires — and in doing so, live a life far greater than anything we could dream for ourselves.

So don’t settle for religion when relationship is available.

Don’t live powerless when authority and power have already been given.

Don’t hide the light when you were made to radiate God’s glory to a lost world.

Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will do what I command.” (John 14:15)

Loving Him means carrying on His work — by His Spirit, in His name, for His glory.

Conclusion:

Power is the gift God gives to do the impossible. Authority is the right to use that power — and it only comes from knowing and walking with the One who gives it. If you compromise intimacy, you erode your authority. But when you walk clean and close, darkness flees, and God’s light radiates from your life.

Reflection Questions

  1. What do you believe the Christian life is supposed to look like — forgiveness and waiting for heaven?
    Or do you believe what Jesus said — that you would do the works He did, and even greater (John 14:12)?

  2. Do you think the power of the Holy Spirit was only for the apostles?
    Or do you believe the promise is for you and your children and all who are far off, as Peter declared in Acts 2:39?

  3. Are you living daily with an expectation of God's presence, power, and guidance?
    Or have you settled for a version of Christianity that is safe, explainable, and mostly human-powered?

  4. Do you know about Jesus, or are you walking in daily relationship and partnership with Him through the Holy Spirit?
    (John 15:5 – "Apart from Me, you can do nothing.")

  5. What would change in your life if you believed God wants to move through you, not just church leaders or so-called ‘spiritual people’?
    How would you live if you truly believed you were filled with the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11)?

How to View the Psalms in a New Understanding

The Book of Psalms is often seen as a collection of private prayers — whispered cries, joyful praise, and everything in between.

But there’s more to Psalms

Imagine trumpets in Jerusalem, families chanting during Passover, or sacred words murmured like a lion’s growl.

These weren’t metaphors — this was embodied worship.

From community ritual to Hebrew wordplay, every Psalm offers a deeper, fuller encounter with Scripture.

Fun fact: Psalm 1, which opens the entire collection, isn’t a prayer but a piece of wisdom literature! Instead of addressing God, it outlines the kind of life that thrives under divine guidance — setting the stage for everything that follows.

Much like Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, it draws a sharp contrast between the righteous and the wicked, underscoring the consequences of each path — a defining trait of wisdom texts.

In Jewish tradition, it’s known as a Torah Psalm because it celebrates the joy of meditating on God’s instruction. This focus perfectly mirrors the wisdom tradition’s call to live by the teachings of the Torah.

Psalm 1 (NKJV)

Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

The Haves and the Have-Nots

Living in What God Desires

Did you know that God has already recorded the days of your life—before you were even physically formed? That truth is not just poetic; it reveals the deep divide between those who walk in God’s promises and those who live unaware of them.

The “Haves” are those who follow Jesus. They walk in a divine script written before time began. Psalm 139:16 says:

"Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." (Psalm 139:16, ESV)

The “Have-Nots” are not those God overlooked—they are those who haven’t yet come into agreement with what He’s already written for their lives.

This divine foreknowledge is echoed throughout Scripture:

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you…” (Jeremiah 1:5)

“Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world…” (Ephesians 1:4)

The difference between the Haves and Have-Nots isn't about God's love—it’s about response.

The Haves are those who say yes to His call and choose to walk in what He’s already prepared.

Before you start your day, put your feet on the floor—but don’t stand up just yet.

Take a moment right there on the edge of your bed to thank God and declare that you agree with all His plans for you,

God has abundantly more for you than you can ask, think, or even imagine.

Morning Prayer of Agreement for the “Haves”

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift of this new day.

Before the sun rose, before I even opened my eyes,

You saw me. You saw me before You formed the heavens and the earth.

You wrote a book of all the days ordained for me—every moment, every breath, every step (Psalm 139:16).

Today, I choose Your will in my life, i choose to be among Your Haves—i choose to live in full agreement with what You’ve written for me.

Let my free will align with Your plan for me. Let my thoughts, choices, and actions reflect Your heart.

Send angels to work with me and carry out all You desire for me today.

You set me apart for a purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). Help me walk boldly in that calling, without fear or hesitation.

I declare that I am chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).

I am not an accident—I am Your design.

Let this day be lived in harmony with Your will for me.

I know Your will is far greater than anything I could imagine.

Order my steps according to Your Word.

Guard me from distraction, confusion, and discouragement.

Fill me with Your presence.

Renew my strength.

Open my ears to hear only from You and nothing from this world.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Maybe the most theologically significant verses in the Bible

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Greek:

Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος,

καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν,

καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.

Translated:

"In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God."

SO …. Ask yourself, what is the full meaning of “Word” (Greek: λόγος) it can’t be just word?

The Word (Greek: λόγος) in John 1:1 is far more than “a word.” It is God’s ultimate self-expression, encompassing His identity, action, presence, and purpose.

Theological Summary:

Greek Phrase Meaning

Ἐν ἀρχῇ Before time began

ἦν ὁ λόγος The Word eternally
existed

ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν The Word was distinct
yet relationally face-to-
face with God the Father

θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος The Word was fully
divine (not just
god-like or subordinate).

This short but profound passage confirms that Jesus is not just a messenger or reflection of God. He is God — uncreated, eternal, and equal with the Father. He existed before creation, was with God in perfect relationship, and was God in essence.

Why It Matters:

The identity of Jesus as the eternal Word forms the foundation of everything we believe:

  • He is not a created being but the Creator (John 1:3).

  • He is not a temporary figure but the eternal Logos who stepped into time (John 1:14).

  • He is not just a wise teacher but the one who speaks life itself (John 6:63).

“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature…” (Hebrews 1:3)

Jesus is how God made Himself fully known — not just through speech, but through presence, power, and sacrifice.

The Word in Action:

  • By His Word, God created all things (Genesis 1; John 1:3)

  • By His Word, He sustains creation (Hebrews 1:3)

  • By His Word, He saves and transforms (Isaiah 55:11; Romans 1:16)

Jesus is not a distant idea or spiritual concept. He is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He walked, healed, taught, wept, bled, and rose again — revealing the Father's heart at every step.

What Does This Mean for You?

Because Jesus is the eternal Word:

  • His authority is absolute —

  • His words are not suggestions, they are life.

  • His promises are unshakable —

  • He does not lie or fail.

  • His love is limitless —

  • He gave Himself to bring us back to God.

  • His presence is personal —

  • He is not just God above, but God with us.

The same Word who spoke the stars into being holds your life in His hands.

  • He knows you.

  • He sees you.

  • He calls you by name.

  • He was there in the beginning — and He is here now.

Takeaway for Today:

  • Jesus is fully God and fully personal.

  • The Word reveals the relational love of the Trinity.

  • God’s Word is powerful — it accomplishes what He speaks.

  • The incarnation is God’s greatest act of love and self-revelation.

  • Because of who He is, we can trust Scripture, salvation, and His presence in every moment.

God’s Word is not just something on paper — it is God speaking directly to each of us. Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can understand what He is personally revealing and calling us to do.

When we speak our prayers out loud, we’re not only communicating with God — we are also declaring truth and prophesying in Jesus’ name, as co-heirs with Christ. This is a powerful act of spiritual authority.

Praying in tongues allows our spirit to speak directly to God, in perfect alignment with His will (Romans 8:26–27). One of the unique benefits of praying in the Spirit is that the enemy cannot understand or intercept those prayers, which means he cannot oppose or interfere with what God is working in and through us.

Do You Believe in Aliens?

Because Christians Are.

Do You Believe in Aliens? Because Christians Are.

Wait—what?

You read that right. If you're a Christian, you are already living as an alien. Not from Mars or Alpha Centauri, but from somewhere even more radical: Heaven. That’s not just poetic language. It’s biblical truth—and it might just change how you see yourself and live your life.

Aliens, According to Scripture

The Bible is full of references to believers as foreigners, sojourners, citizens of another place. Check this out:

“But our citizenship is in heaven.” (Philippians 3:20)

“Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles…” (1 Peter 2:11)

You're not just a better version of your old self—you’ve been completely relocated in the spirit. You're a heavenly being having an earthly experience.

Already Seated in Heaven? Seriously?

Here’s where things get wild (in the best way):

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:6)

This verse isn’t about your future—it’s about your right-now reality.

God didn’t just save you from sin. He lifted you up, gave you a new passport, and seated you with Jesus right next to the throne of heaven. You're not trying to earn access to God—you’re already with Him.

What This Means (And Why It’s Awesome)

Most of us live like we’re stuck on Earth, just trying to survive. But if you’re already seated in heaven, here’s what that changes:

  • Your identity: You're not a sinner struggling to be holy; you're a saint learning to walk out what’s already true.

  • Your authority: You’re not begging God for scraps—you’re speaking with the backing of heaven.

  • Your perspective: Earthly problems look different when viewed from a heavenly seat. You’re not under the storm—you’re above it.

  • Your mission: You're an ambassador of another Kingdom, sent to represent your King with love, power, and purpose.

You’re not meant to fit in. You’re meant to stand out—because you’re from somewhere else

Living Like the Alien You Are

So how do you actually live from your heavenly position? Renew your mind (Romans 12:2): Start seeing yourself the way God sees you. Pray with confidence (Hebrews 4:16): You're not knocking on a locked door—you’ve got a key. Walk in authority (Luke 10:19): The enemy’s under your feet—act like it. Set your mind on things above (Colossians 3:1–2): Because that’s where you live now.

Final Thought

The next time someone asks if you believe in aliens, smile and say: “Absolutely. I am one.” You're in the world—but you're not of it. You’re here on a mission. Heaven is your home. Jesus is your King. And your life is meant to look a little… out of this world.

Hebrew Word of the Month!

What It Means:

"Ruach" is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind, and it’s deeply connected to the presence and power of God. Most significantly, Ruach refers to the Holy Spirit—the breath of life and the divine presence that empowers and sustains us.

Why It Matters:

This word is woven throughout the Bible, starting in Genesis 1:2, where the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God) hovers over the waters during creation. It’s the same Ruach that breathes life into Adam (Genesis 2:7) and empowers God’s people, like the judges and prophets of the Old Testament.

In the New Testament, the Ruach is revealed as the Holy Spirit, who comforts, guides, and fills believers with power, as promised by Jesus in John 14:26.

Think of the Holy Spirit as the Ruach that moves like the wind—unseen but undeniably felt, shaping and transforming everything it touches.

Fun Fact:

In Acts 2, during Pentecost, the Holy Spirit (the Ruach HaKodesh) comes upon the disciples like a "mighty rushing wind." This event not only fulfills Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit but also reflects the power of Ruach as both breath and wind, bringing life and transformation to the early Church.

What About You?:

Have you ever felt the Ruach—the Holy Spirit—move in your life? Maybe in a moment of peace, clarity, or unexpected strength? How can you remain open to the Holy Spirit’s guiding presence today?

Kingdom Promise Foundation

As we reflect on the insights shared in this issue of The Promise Chronicle, let’s remember that small, consistent steps rooted in faith lead to lasting transformation. Whether it’s walking after dinner for better health, praying daily, reframing fears through God’s promises, or building habits that align with His will, the key is starting where you are and trusting God for the rest.

This Month’s Newsletter Challenge: Being from Heaven but Living on Earth “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

You were never meant to live a powerless life. Through Jesus, you’ve been given access to heaven’s promises, presence, and power — right now. This 4-week challenge will help you walk it out.

WEEK 1 – ABIDE

Theme: Union with Christ (John 15:5)

Start each day in quiet time with Jesus. Read John 15. Invite His presence. Practice “abiding moments” during your day by pausing and praying: “Jesus, I remain in You.” Focus: Deepen relationship intimacy (remember Jesus wants relationships not robots)

WEEK 2 – ALIGN

Theme: Seated in Authority (Ephesians 2:6)

Declare your position in Christ: “I am seated with Him. I walk in His authority.” Speak Scripture over fear or doubt. Surrender areas where you’ve been living beneath your calling.

Focus: Shift from earthly thinking to heavenly perspective (visualize yourself seated next to Jesus in heaven).

WEEK 3 – ACTIVATE

Theme: Filled with the Spirit (Acts 1:8)

Ask daily for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. Step out: pray boldly, encourage someone, or share your testimony. If you pray in tongues, use that gift daily.

Focus: Rely on God’s power, not your own. This is where the rubber meets the road: pray out loud for something specific — then WAIT and listen for His answer. If your believe and don't doubt, He will speak to you and guide you in His perfect plan and timing.

WEEK 4 – ADVANCE

Theme: Kingdom Carriers (Luke 17:21)

Ask: Where and How can I bring heaven to earth? Let God’s Kingdom flow through you in one specific area this week.

Focus: Be heaven’s representative — wherever you go. Until next time, many blessings from, The Promise Chronicle Team
