God takes no prisoners, I choose to serve him.

You will experience all these blessings if you obey the lord your God:

“Those who hear the warnings of this curse should not congratulate themselves, thinking, ‘I am safe, even though I am following the desires of my own stubborn heart.’ This would lead to utter ruin!

“The lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.

Lord God,
Purify my heart, protect my spirit, give me power to destroy the evil desires I gave to not follow all your commands. Reveal to me your desire and grant me confidence to attack and destroy them so I may follow you wholehearted and completely follow you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Wholehearted obedience

So be careful to obey them wholeheartedly.

And if you do, he will set you high above all the other nations he has made.

You will be a nation that is holy to the lord your God, just as he promised.

Lord God,
Help me today to remove any areas I don’t trust you to handle in my life. Remove the barriers that block me from trusting you so I may act on all desires you have for me today.

In Jesus name,
Amen

What are my false idols

“You must never set up a wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build for the lord your God. 22And never set up sacred pillars for worship, for the lord your God hates them.

Lord God,
Reveal the areas I worship in my life and give me power to defeat the idols I carry that distract me from you. My my worship of you be complete.

Total Truth

Show love to the lord your God by walking in his ways and holding tightly to him.

Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.

Lord God,
purify my soul, my family, all you have entrusted me with.
May I only follow you and not be deceived by this world.

In Jesus name,
Amen

The experiment is over.

Remember how the lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands. 3Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors.

He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’ 18Remember the lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful,

No, it is because of the wickedness of the other nations that he is pushing them out of your way. 5It is not because you are so good or have such integrity that you are about to occupy their land.

You must recognize that the lord your God is not giving you this good land because you are good, for you are not—you are a stubborn people.

Yes, you have been rebelling against the lord as long as I have known you.

Lord God, I confess, I am stubborn and rebellious, I have resisted you for most of my life. I have failed at me. Lord God, I am sorry for my past and with great excitement look forward to the future in doing life your way. Forgive my past ways and replace my will with yours. May this place only be seen thru your eyes thru me. I am yours.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Only One God in my life

You must not have any other god but me.

Oh, that they would always have hearts like this, that they might fear me and obey all my commands! If they did, they and their descendants would prosper forever.

Lord God,
May I follow your will only and not allow any other idols into my thoughts. May My desire be only of you.

In Jesus name,
Amen

Blindly follow

Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the lord your God that I am giving you.

But from there you will search again for the lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.

Lord God,
May I follow your commands without hesitation or doubt, May I search for your will in all I do.

In Jesus name,
Amen

To loosen the strongholds within

But if you fail to drive out the people who live in the land, those who remain will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land where you live. 56And I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”

Lord God,
You have given me this temple to care for and I need your help. Lord God, Give me power to destroy the sinful nature within and destroy the strongholds that live within. Help me to be ruthless in the destruction of the idols and habits that separate me from your glory and block your ability to work thru me. Allow me to be your servant and to serve you completely.

In Jesus name,
Amen
