Your Journey to Spiritual Renewal

Life can sometimes feel like a winding path, full of ups and downs, twists, and turns. But there's good news: Jesus Christ offers us a straight path that leads to a fulfilling life. The Bible says Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. As you embark on this journey, get ready to discover the wisdom and healing power found in His Word.

Welcome to a transformative journey toward spiritual renewal! This handbook is crafted to guide you through seven days of discovery, prayer, and healing.

This is to everyone seeking to be straightened until they have been accomplished, as Jesus said, "I have a purpose on the earth, to ignite the fire of the Holy Ghost, I have a baptism. How am I straightened until I have been accomplished?" This scripture reveals to us the necessity to live a straight life and to ponder on how to keep standing until we have been established. Meaning that no matter the field you find yourself in, whether as a student, learner, expert or even growing child, understanding the end goal of your journey is a necessity. Keeping straight until you have been established and accomplished. We are all purposeful beings, and just as Jesus outlined His purpose, so are we to understand our purpose and what the end goal should be.

God said to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you, I knew you, and I have ordained you to be a prophet" Everyone on earth came by divine ordination, and we need to connect with God, keep our eyes on Him, and take a stand in Him to be accomplished.

In the next seven days, we'll delve into biblical passages and stories that highlight the importance of walking the straight path. You'll learn about healing, prayer, and the incredible strength that comes from early encounters with Jesus. Together, we'll explore how parents can guide and support their children on this journey of faith, ensuring that no one stumbles or falls.

It's not just about reading words; it's about applying the wisdom found in the scriptures to your life. Through prayer, faith, and a deeper understanding of God's Word, you'll find the tools to strengthen yourself and your family.

This handbook isn't just for grown-ups. Children, you're an essential part of this journey too! You'll discover how meeting Jesus early in life can shape your future and bring healing. Parents, you'll learn how to pray for your children, guide them, and support their spiritual growth.

Prayers: • Lord, let your word straighten my life and path for the accomplishment of purpose in Jesus' name. • I submit myself unto the Lord Jesus. Help me to be whom God has ordained me to be, Lord, in Jesus' name. • Lord, like you visited Jeremiah early in life to reveal your purpose to Him, visit me today to reveal my purpose to me and to activate my ordination in Jesus' name. • Let forces challenging my destiny be destroyed, in Jesus name. • My life is straightened for fulfilment in Jesus name.

CHAPTER 1

The Straight Path to Life

Scripture Reference: Matthew 7:13-14

Welcome to today's journey into being straightened and renewed!

Let's look at the Straight Path leading to life—a life illuminated by Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, are on the path: Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few people have found it.

In the book of Matthew, Jesus said we should consider the path we tread. He describes two distinct roads: one narrow and straight, leading to life, and the other wide and broad, leading to destruction. This analogy highlights the choices we face in life—choices that determine our destiny.

The narrow, less travelled path holds life’s promise in its truest sense. This life isn't mere existence; it's marked by purpose, joy, and an intimate connection with God. It is a life that finds its source and fulfilment in Jesus Christ.

Walking this path means aligning our lives with the teachings of Jesus. It is about embracing His words, love, compassion, and grace. It is choosing humility over pride, forgiveness over bitterness, and selflessness over selfishness. Choosing this path means trimming down to fit into God's will for our lives. It's not a common way, but it aligns with obedience and pleases God above the crowd.

The wide path, on the other hand, seems inviting, bustling with activities and attractions. The Bible says many people are on that path because it is a generally acceptable path. But be wary, for it leads to destruction. It's a path where temporary pleasures often mask the emptiness within, where short-term gains often lead to long-term regrets. There are many shortcuts to getting whatever you want on the wide path that leads to destruction.

As you stat on this journey, reflect on your path. Are you walking the narrow path Jesus spoke of? Are your actions, thoughts, and choices aligned with His teachings? Now is the time for introspection and redirection if needed.

Walking the straight path requires deliberate choices—decisions that honour God, seeking His guidance in every step, and embracing His teachings as the guiding light. It may not always be the easiest route, but it promises fulfilment beyond measure.

Find your way back to the straight and narrow way! Jesus is waiting for you there.

If you struggle with obeying God's word, you will face challenges on the narrow path.

Stay tuned for the coming days as we delve deeper into the transformative power of God's word, uncovering treasures of faith, prayer, healing, and renewed strength. Let this day be a starting point—a conscious decision to walk the straight path leading to life, found in Jesus Christ.

Make a conscious decision to live a straight life. The Bible warns of increasing sin in the last days, and the love of many will grow cold. Love not the world, nor the things in it; if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Be careful to strengthen what is about to fall, so the weak part of you will not crumble. Only the renewal of your love life in God, understanding of God's word, and the decision to obey it, regardless of your feelings, can help. Find your way back to the straight and narrow way—Jesus is waiting for you.

May your heart be open, and your steps be guided by the wisdom found in His Word as we continue this enlightening journey together.

Prayer: – Lord, I embrace you for a straight path to life. – I look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. – My feet will not fall off the path of life in Jesus' name. – Lord, help me stay focused on the straight and narrow way that leads to life. – Father, open my eyes to see you and the vision of my tomorrow in Jesus' name.

CHAPTER 2

Healing and Deliverance in the Word

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 12:13, Luke 13:13

"And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed." – Hebrews 12:13 (KJV)

Hebrews 12:13 urges us to forge straight paths for our feet to avoid stumbling. This is not just about physical paths but encompasses the spiritual, emotional, and mental journeys we undertake. The imagery of a straight path represents a life guided by the Word of God, where stumbling blocks and hindrances are minimized or removed.

Consider the account in Luke 13:13 where Jesus laid His hands on a woman who had been bent for eighteen long years, and immediately she was made straight and glorified God.

Luke 13:13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God.

This woman, symbolic of many of us, had endured a life hindered by physical infirmity. Yet, at the touch of Jesus and through His divine power, she was immediately made straight and glorified God.

In the same vein, the Word of God holds within it the potency to straighten any crookedness in our lives. It is a beacon of hope, a balm of healing, and a source of deliverance. Whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, the Word has the transformative ability to mend, restore, and lift us from our bent states.

Just as Jesus brought physical healing to the bent woman, His Word can heal and restore any aspect of our lives that needs straightening. It is the anchor amidst life's storms, the remedy for our brokenness, and the guide along the path to wholeness.

The healing power of the Word isn't confined to physical ailments alone; it extends to the depths of our souls. It has the capacity to mend shattered hearts, alleviate burdensome thoughts, and provide solace in times of distress.

As we continue on this path of life, open your heart to the healing touch of the Word. Let it permeate every facet of your being—spirit, soul, and body. Trust in the power of the Word to straighten the crooked paths of your life, allowing you to walk unhindered on the path leading to life. Discover more of God's immense capacity to heal, deliver, and renew.

I pray that today will mark a turning point in your understanding of the transformative power residing in God's Word.

Healing and purifying fire

Luke 3:16-17 John answered, saying unto them all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

17. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire.

There is a fire that purifies in the scripture; it sanctifies and purges, it heals.

When the fire is at work, two things happen: it purges and sanctifies His people or burns the chaff with fire. The chaff includes the enemies of your existence; it incapacitates them over your affairs. The chaff includes unwanted elements, sickness, and organ destroyers in your body.

Your body is God's house; you are His dwelling place. When you house God consciously and allow His presence in you, His presence comes down to burn that sickness with unquenchable fire while purging you so that your body and His heavenly body can amalgamate and become one. Your touch and your words become His touch and word.

Prayer Of Deliverance And Sanctification John 17:17-19: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word, your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes, I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth."

Prayer: I declare that I am sanctified by the Word of God, washed and delivered in Jesus' name.

May the living Word of God penetrate my being, removing unwanted elements within me in Jesus' name.

Let the Word, like a two-
