Expressions of faith:
I am the righteousness
of Jesus Christ

Rev. William Watson
Rev. William Watson

As a Christian you must know, believe, and confess that you are the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Saying these words daily (several times if needed) to stop the evils that Satan tempts us with, will bring about a change in your life. It will strengthen your belief, your trust, and your love for Jesus Christ.

Also use the prayer below. This ministry begin 12 years ago based on this ‘Intercessory Prayer.’ Keep a copy of this prayer and use it daily:

“Almighty God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I come humbly and in total submission as an intercessor on behalf of my family, my friends, and my neighbors. I pray that all I come in contact with this day especially those who are less fortunate than I, whether in body, in spirit, in thought of mind or by sight, that the light and spirit of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be exemplified through me, and that you, Father, will receive glory and honor. I intercede on behalf of those who are sick, bereaved and those who are growing old and feeble.

I pray for world peace and for those who are seeking the joy, the love and the comfort of Jesus Christ whatever their circumstances may be. I pray for those who do not know the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness and pardons of their sin. I pray that through this prayer ministry many will be healed both spiritually and physically and families will be bonded together in love. I pray for the unilateral church body of Jesus Christ, that it is unified in the knowledge of you Father God and all that dwell in its sanctuary will be strengthen in truth and the righteousness of Jesus Christ, our intercessor and redeemer. Father, I rededicate my life to you this day. Help me to trust you and love you with all my heart. Amen!”

My weekly prayer is for the reader of this commentary to become spiritually inspired of God.
