Our Confessions

RILC Declaration

We, the body of believers at Reign In Life Church, enforce God’s original plans and purposes in our lives and in the life of this ministry. We are citizens of the kingdom of God and we have what we say. We are doers of the Word of God and not just hearers only. We are what the Word of God says we are, we have what the Word of God says we have, and we can do what the Word of God says we can do. We hold fast to our confession of faith and we do not turn coward, faint, lose heart or give up.

We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and guilt, shame and condemnation has no place in our lives. We are God’s chosen generation, His royal priesthood and we are reigning as kings in the earth. We are accepted in the beloved and nothing can separate us from His love. We are sanctified, consecrated and separated from the world.

We are the healed of the Lord. Jehovah Rapha has taken sickness and disease away from the midst of us. We have a sound mind and body. We are energized, revitalized, transformed, renewed, restored powerhouses for God. We curse at the root, every sickness, disease, pain, virus and infirmity that would try to attack us and we plead the blood of Jesus over our bodies. The healing power of God continually surrounds us, keeps us and preserves our entire system.

We are redeemed from debt, poverty and lack. Every household of RILC is blessed and living under an open heaven. The blessing of the Lord makes us rich and adds no sorrow with it. We are increasing more and more and wealth and riches are in our house. We are the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath, the lender and not the borrower. We are sowing bountifully and reaping a bountiful harvest on every seed sown.

We have strong marriages and families that are knitted together in love and rooted in the Word of God. Wives are submitting to their own husbands as unto the Lord and the husbands love their wives as Christ loves the church. Our youth fear the Lord and obey and honor their parents.

We bind every demonic attack against our families and speak life, joy, love and peace over our households.

RILC is prospering at everything it sets its hands to. We have a great work to accomplish and we command finances and all resources to come forth now without delay. We call in everything prepared for us before the foundation of the world that pertains to our life and the life of this ministry. We declare that the wealth of the wicked, the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places come to us now.

The supernatural Word of God is prevailing in every area of our lives. We are fighting the good fight of faith and laying hold to eternal life. We are overcomers and our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Now thanks be unto God Who always causes us to triumph in Christ! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Church Growth Confession

Father God, we thank you for being the Good Shepherd of Reign In Life Church, your house of prayer. We declare every seat in the house is filled. We are your inheritance, purchased and covered by the blood of Jesus. We are fulfilling your commission to win the lost, make disciples and establish your Kingdom in all the earth.

Father, by your Spirit we call the lost from the north, south, east and west into this church and every service is filled and overflowing. We decree that signs, wonders, and miracles confirm your Word preached, leading multitudes to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Draw the lost and send angels as reapers to fill God’s house. We receive a fresh rhema Word from heaven in every service to feed your sheep, and we decree that they shall not wander.

We pray that you will restore the hearts of individuals who are backslidden, offended, scattered or are turned away. We call them back into the Kingdom, back into the house, and back into position, transformed and renewed, and no man shall pluck them out of your hand.

Heavenly Father, unite our hearts to care for your flock. We decree that of all you have given us we have lost none. We reap the harvest and call in laborers for the perfecting of the saints and to edify the Body in love. In your Name, we keep and watch over the souls that are won. We bind up the broken; we love one another, and mature them to perfection in Christ.

We honor the Prophet of this house. We thank you Lord for Apostolic leadership, prophetic utterance, expansive evangelistic outreach, effective teaching and pastoral covering & care. We release the anointing and grace to win the lost and nurture your flock. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

City of Pearland

Father, I come boldly to your throne of grace interceding for the City of Pearland. I thank you that your eyes are upon this city and your ears are open to our prayers. Father, thank you for preserving this city and bringing restoration and wholeness to our communities. I pray for a spiritual awakening in the hearts of the Pearland residents. Restore faith and vision in this generation and ignite in them a holy fire and godly passion that will destroy every unclean influence. I decree that Jesus is Lord over Pearland! Every strategy that the enemy has devised against the people in this city is hindered and defeated.

In the name of Jesus I bind the strongmen that have held Pearland in bondage. I bind the spirits of greed, violence, murder, suicide and self destruction. I bind the spirits of hatred, abuse, anger and rage. I bind the spirits of division and racism, strife, mental oppression, depression and mind control, crime, vandalism, stealing, assault, and gang violence. I bind the spirits of lust, sexual immorality, perversion and homosexuality, rape, molestation and adultery. I bind the spirits of fornication, incest, pornography, prostitution, divorce and the destruction of marriages and families. I bind the spirits of fear, lying, idolatry, witchcraft, anti-Christ, deception, rejection, pride, jealousy, bitterness and rebellion. In the name of Jesus I bind the spirits behind organized crime, illegal firearm sales and usage, all black market activity, the illegal drug trade and usage, gambling and corruption.

I execute divine judgment against the forces of darkness and cancel every satanic operation and maneuver designed against the City of Pearland and its residents. I evict every demonic spirit from the neighborhoods in this city and decree that the works of the devil are destroyed. I thank you that the blood of Jesus is upon every household in this city and render every assignment of the enemy against our youth null, void, powerless and ineffective. I declare that heavenly angels have been given charge over this city to protect, guard and defend it in Jesus name.

I loose the blessing upon every individual, family, neighborhood, business and area of government in this city. I decree that every stronghold of the enemy has fallen and is no more. Father, send forth laborers into this city preaching the gospel, bringing healing to the broken hearted, deliverance to the captives and liberty and restoration to them that are bruised. Father, send forth an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, truth, love, joy, peace, righteousness, faith, holiness and your Word to saturate this entire city.

Father, thank you that Your Word will not return void, but shall accomplish everything it is sent out to perform in the City of Pearland, in Jesus name. Amen!

Church Debt Free Confession

We, the body of Believers of Reign In Life Church, declare we have been carved out for an end-time expression of El Shaddai, the God of abundance and no lack. We are taught how to live independent of this world system and how to have dominion over it, therefore, in Jesus’ name, we declare we are debt-free! The spirit of debt is destroyed over our lives and over this local church because of the anointing. We are the lender and not the borrower, the head and not the tail. We are blessed coming in and blessed going out. The Father daily loads us with benefits and causes His blessings to overtake us. Wealth and riches are in our house and we increase more and more. God has given us power to get wealth to establish His kingdom here in the earth and millions are now hearing the gospel and receiving Jesus as Lord. We are plenteous in goods, for God has given us richly all things to enjoy. The blessing of the Lord has made us rich, adding no sorrow with it. We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ and Abraham’s blessings belong to us. We are Holy Millionaires and we walk in God’s wisdom, exercising sound judgment and stewardship over this wealth. We sow bountifully, therefore, we reap bountifully. We give and it is given unto us good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. We have the wealth of the wicked and we owe no man anything, but love! The devourer is rebuked for our sakes and he cannot destroy the fruits of our ground. All these promises are ours by faith and faith works by love, so we constantly walk in the light, in love, in the Word and the wicked one touches us not. Our hearts are fixed, trusting in the Lord. We hold fast to our confession of faith. We are “THE DEBT-FREE REDEEMED OF THE LORD” and we say so, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Confession for Children

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray and confess Your Word over my children and surround them with my faith – faith in Your Word that You watch over it to perform it! I confess and believe that my children are disciples of Christ taught of the Lord and obedient to Your will. Great is the peace and undisturbed composure of my children, because You, God, contend with that which contends with my children, and You give them safety and ease them.

Father, You will perfect that which concerns me. I commit and cast the care of my children once and for all over on you, Father. They are in Your hands, and I am positively persuaded that You are able to guard and keep that which I have committed to You. You are more than enough!

I confess that my children obey their parents in the Lord as His representatives, because this is just and right. My children honor, esteem, and value as precious their parents; for this is the first commandment with a promise: that all may be well with my children and that they may live long on the earth. I believe and confess that my children choose life and love You, Lord, obey Your voice, and cling to You; for You are their life and the length of their days. Therefore, my children are the head and not the tail, and shall be above only and not beneath. They are blessed when they come in and when they go out.

I believe and confess that You give Your angels charge over my children to accompany and defend and preserve them in all their ways. You, Lord, are their refuge and fortress. You are their glory and the lifter of their heads.

As parents, we will not provoke, irritate, or fret our children. We will not be hard on them or harass them, or cause them to become discouraged, sullen, or morose, or feel inferior and frustrated.

We will not break or wound their spirits, but we will rear them tenderly in the training, discipline, counsel, and admonition of the Lord.

We will train them in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.

O Lord, my Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory on or above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger. I sing praise to Your name, O Most High. The enemy is turned back from my children in the name of Jesus! They increase in wisdom and in favor with God and man. Amen.

Confession for Pastor

FATHER GOD, WE THANK YOU THAT PASTOR ____________ IS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF YOU. HE IS FULFILLING YOUR PERFECT PURPOSE AND PLAN FOR HIS LIFE. HE HEARS THE VOICE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND THE VOICE OF A STRANGER HE’LL NOT FOLLOW. WE PRAY THAT THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, COUNSEL, MIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING WILL GUIDE HIM IN EVERY MEETING, ACTIVITY AND CONVERSATION HE ENGAGES IN. WE THANK YOU THAT HE GIVES HIMSELF CONTINUALLY TO PRAYER, AND TO THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD.

WE THANK YOU THAT HE IS PROTECTED FROM ALL HURT, HARM, DANGER AND ACCIDENT. HE IS THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD AND IN COVENANT WITH JEHOVAH GOD, THEREFORE SICKNESS AND DISEASE, POVERTY AND LACK, AND FEAR AND OPPRESSION HAVE NO POWER OVER HIM. HE WALKS IN DIVINE HEALTH AND IS PHYSICALLY FIT. HIS SOUL PROSPERS BECAUSE HE MEDITATES IN GOD’S WORD DAY AND NIGHT.

HE ENJOYS HIS FREE TIME WITHOUT INTERRUPTION AND IS REFRESHED AND RESTED FOR EVERY DAY’S WORK, FOR HIS YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLES. NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST HIM SHALL PROSPER AND EVERY LYING TONGUE RISEN AGAINST HIM SHALL BE SILENCED. EVERY BUSINESS DEAL WORKS TO HIS FAVOR AND ADVANTAGE, AND YOUR BLESSINGS OVERTAKE HIM BECAUSE HE HEARKENS DILIGENTLY UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD HIS GOD.

WE CANCEL EVERY ATTACK OF THE WICKED ONE TO BRING DECEPTION, DISTRACTIONS, HINDRANCES AND TEMPTATIONS INTO HIS LIFE. DEVIL, YOU ARE BOUND AND HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER OUR PASTOR, HIS FAMILY OR HIS POSSESSIONS. WE COVER PASTOR __________ WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS, AND RELEASE THE ANGELS OF GOD TO MINISTER FOR HIM AND BRING HIM INTO GOD’S BEST EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE.

FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE OPENED DOORS OF UTTERANCE FOR HIM TO PROCLAIM BOLDLY THE GOSPEL WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING. HE IS TEACHING BELIEVERS HOW TO LIVE INDEPENDENT OF THIS WORLD SYSTEM AND HAVE DOMINION OVER IT. HE HAS CLARITY OF VISION, UNIMPEDED BY UNGODLY SOURCES OR INPUT. HE IS ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME WITH THE RIGHT INFORMATION AND THE RIGHT UNDERSTANDING. ALL HIDDEN THINGS OF DARKNESS ARE REVEALED TO HIM AND ARE MADE MANIFEST BY THE LIGHT. THE ANOINTING OF INCREASE IS UPON HIS LIFE AND WHATSOEVER HE DOES PROSPERS.

WE THANK YOU THAT HIS FAMILY IS OF ONE HEART AND IN ONE ACCORD, AND ARE ENJOYING THE DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON THE EARTH. HIS SEED IS MIGHTY UPON THE EARTH AND BLESSED, AND WEALTH AND RICHES ARE IN HIS HOUSE. HE FELLOWSHIPS WITH LEADERS OF LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH AND HAS SET A NEW STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST. IN JESUS’ NAME, AMEN.

Confession for Today

Father God, I pray over every meeting, conversation and activity I engage in today. I pray that all my steps be ordered by you, that my heart and my mind always respond in obedience to your directions. I pray that I choose the way of righteousness when faced with many paths of judgment, that I will always fulfill your priorities and never allow my flesh to dictate my actions or attitudes. This day, I do all things to the glory of God and I am fruitful in every good work. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Financial Confession

Father, in the Name of Jesus I confess Your will over my finances this day, that I have given the tithes of my increase and I claim the windows of heaven blessings for my life. Thank You Father, my mind is alert and I hear Your voice and the voice of the stranger I will not follow. Thank You, I receive now doors of opportunity open for me and my family. Father, I have given to the poor, therefore, I will never lack. I will always have all sufficiency in all things as you are raising up others to use their power, their ability and their influence to help me. I expect daily, Father, for the Spirit of God to speak to men and women concerning giving to me, and in the name of Jesus those to whom the Spirit of God has designated are free to obey and give to me good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. In Jesus’ Name, I believe every need is met with heaven’s best. I have given for the support of the work of God and those who teach His Word. You promised that You would supply all my need according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. So, I thank You Father, I live the best and enjoy the best in every area of my life. Father, Your Word said I can decree a thing because of my covenant vow with You for the kingdom of God in the earth. Now this is my decree (whatever that particular decree is) and I thank You for wisdom and insight to bring it to pass. You give me and my family richly all things to enjoy. Now, satan, I bind your activity in my life and I loose the angels, the ministering spirits of God to minister for me and bring in the necessary finances so that I may continue to finance the kingdom of God. Father, Your Word declares that my giving increases the fruits of my righteousness. I thank You Father, I have the abundance of peace, the abundance of joy, the abundance of patience, the abundance of temperance and the abundance of goodness. The maximum return on my giving is mine because I give to promote the Name of Jesus and the gospel in the earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Peaceful Sleep Confession

In the name of Jesus, I bind you satan, and all your agents from my dreams.

I forbid you to interfere in any way with my sleep.

I bring every thought, every imagination, and every dream into the captivity and obedience of Jesus Christ. Father, I thank you that even as I sleep my heart counsels me and reveals to me your purpose and plan. Thank you for sweet sleep, for you promised your beloved sweet sleep. Therefore, my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices. My body and soul rest and confidently dwell in safety. Amen.

United States of America

Father, I thank you that this nation is blessed because our God is the Lord and we are the people you have chosen for your inheritance. Thank you that the righteous are in authority and the people rejoice. I call for a crop failure of all bad seed sown into this nation, and I call for a bumper crop of all good seed sown into this nation. I release the truth into every realm of life in this nation that men may say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Unsaved Spouse

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You that the love of God has been poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit Who has been given to me. The love of and for you, Father, has been perfected and completed in me.

Father, I am Your child, and I commit to walk in the God-kind of love. Since You love me, I know that You love (my spouse) also, for we are one in Your love.

Father, we all have sinned and come short of your glory. Therefore, I confess and acknowledge my sins to You and ask for Your forgiveness. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, in the Name of Jesus. I NOW freely and fully forgive (my spouse) and place (my spouse) in Your care, because of Your forgiving love. I cast all hurts, criticisms, condemnations, judgments, unforgiveness, and fears on Jesus Christ to be healed, cleansed and made whole – for both of us.

I consider (my spouse) in our marital relationship. I realize that we are one, and joint- heirs to the throne with Jesus, spiritually; so that our prayers will not be hindered.

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I NOW rebuke, bind, and curse all satanic attacks assigned against us; and they dry up and die – as the fig tree. I plead the blood of Jesus over (my spouse), over myself, and over our home, in Jesus’ Name.

As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord! Our house shall be called a “House of Prayer”. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
