Declaration of Dependence
The risen Jesus is my Lord. I am daily dependent on Him. Apart from Him I can do nothing. He is my foundation, my strength, and my hope. I proclaim my dependence on Christ.
Jesus sets me free from my captivity to the control of self-focus. I am no longer driven by my desires, feelings, thoughts, and opinions. I continually celebrate my Christ-dependence and the care and compassion He shows to me. I rely on His presence living in and through me and directing me moment-by-moment. He never lets me down! Thank You, Jesus! I can never say it enough!
Independence from God leads to bondage to self-focus. To reject dependency on the living Jesus is to embrace dependency on habits, distractions, and substances. To “wait on the Lord” is to acknowledge and to fully submit to your dependence on Him.
The only dependency that doesn’t lead to bondage is dependency on the living Jesus Christ. Conscious dependency on the risen Jesus raises life to glorious levels! Christ-dependency brings freedom from every other dependency! Awareness of self-insufficiency opens the door to receive God’s help.
The more you depend on yourself the less you depend on God. Pride proclaims independence while it is enslaved to its own desires, feelings, and thoughts.
Revival occurs when Christians learn to depend on the present reality of risen Jesus, instead of on religious programs and hierarchies. The world’s greatest revolution is when someone shifts away from the rebellious independence of their self-will to daily dependence on and surrender to the living Jesus.
God’s looking for open hearts. Open your heart to and dependent on Him day and night. Help other people do the same!
Jesus said: “Follow Me.” He never said for us to be dependent on a program, a preacher, or a liturgy.
Give your alliance
To the risen Jesus,
Your compliance
To His will
And put your reliance
On His presence!
