God, I choose for this day to walk worthy of the calling to which You called me (4:1). I make the following affirmations:

   Today, I affirm that in Christ I have new possessions: You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies (1:3). What I really need today has been given to me in Christ.

   I affirm that I have a new position in Christ: Chosen to be holy and blameless, redeemed, raised and seated in the heavenlies (1:4,7; 2:6), I have been valued with all the value of Christ. My value is not affected by what happens today.

   I affirm that I have a new purpose in Christ: To be built on Christ the cornerstone with others into a temple for Your dwelling (2:22), to be a channel of Your glory so the angels see Your wisdom through the church (3:10), I worship You in all this. I have a reason for living today.

Having affirmed my possessions, position and purpose in Christ, I choose today to make the following decisions of faith:

   I will preserve the unity and experience the diversity (gifts) of the community as we press on toward maturity together (4:3,7,13,16). I decide now to get involved with the body to build it up and get closer.

   I put off the old man (who I am in Adam) because I have been crucified with Christ (4:22). I especially put off ____ and ____ because I have struggled with them lately.

   I put on the new man ( who I am in Christ) because I have been raised and seated with Christ (4:24). I especially put on ____ and ____ because I will need them today. [See Ephesians 4:25-6:9 for habits to put off or on.]

   I choose to be renewed by the Holy Spirit in my mind. I will think more like Christ (4:23).

Having affirmed my possessions, position and purpose in Christ and made these decisions of faith, I take the following attitudes:

   I rest in the confidence that the Holy Spirit is filling me as I step out in these decisions. Since He is supervising the process I am not alone and it is not up to me to finish it (1:13,14; 2:18,22; 3:16; 5:18).

   I resist the devil, who will attempt to deceive me in order that I will forget my position and give up on the process (6:12). I put on the armor of God as part of my possessions in Christ and use it to pray aggressively (6:13,18).
