I'm ready to take the promises of the Bible and walk them out in practical, daily life.
I'm ready to preach, teach, and prophesy--whenever, wherever, to whomever--as the Spirit leads.

I'm ready to fulfill those good works that God has prepared in advance for me to do (Ephesians. 2:10).
I'm ready to rise up and conquer, to be an overcomer and not be overcome; to be a victor and not a victim; to walk in abundance and not lack; to be prosperous and in good health even as my soul prospers (1 John 3:2).
I'm ready to be about my Father's business and occupy until Jesus returns to earth in power and great glory (Luke 19:13).
Are you ready?
I'm ready!
Ready or not, devil, here I come!
