One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. “Are you Ziba?” the king asked. “Yes sir, I am,” Ziba replied. The king then asked him, “Is anyone still alive from Saul’s family? If so, I want to show God’s kindness to them.” Ziba replied, “Yes, one of Jonathan’s sons is still alive. He is crippled in both feet.” “Where is he?” the king asked. “In Lo-debar,” Ziba told him, “at the home of Makir son of Ammiel.” So David sent for him and brought him from Makir’s home. His name was Mephibosheth; he was Jonathan’s son and Saul’s grandson. When he came to David, he bowed low to the ground in deep respect. David said, “Greetings, Mephibosheth.” Mephibosheth replied, “I am your servant.” “Don’t be afraid!” David said. “I intend to show kindness to you because of my promise to your father, Jonathan. I will give you all the property that once belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will eat here with me at the king’s table!” Mephibosheth bowed respectfully and exclaimed, “Who is your servant, that you should show such kindness to a dead dog like me?”
I declare that today by the power of the Holy Spirit ,I change addresses.
Just like Mephibosheth, I part ways with the system of Lo-debar; the land of no-thing, the land of devastation and desolation, the land of fruitlessness and barrenness and make my way into the courts of the King where the King expectantly awaits my arrival.
I refuse to reside in the mindset of Lo-debar where any God-like notions of my identity are stifled and killed, I drag my mind and soul from Lo-debar and my soul follows suit.
Lo-debar; every label and souvenir you have given me, I release it to Jesus and I pick the ones he gives to me in the courts of Heaven.
Oh my soul, march onwards and forward into a new day, where you sit at the table of the King and you dine as one of the sons of the King because that is who you are. You are a child of God, you are a son and a daughter to the King of Kings.
Every dead dog mentality that has blanketed my life for so long, I separate myself from in the name of Jesus.
Every feeling of smallness, cowardice, timidity, confusion and utter helplessness springing from a sense of unworthiness, I reject in the name of Jesus.
I declare I will not be suspicious of the kindness of God who roped me into this inheritance for the sake of Jesus as the King did for Mephibosheth for the sake of Jonathan.
This King calls me by name and shows me extravagant kindness when I expect hostility.
This King of Kings invites me to sit at his table and to continually eat from his table.
His kindness is not a one time photo op event.
On Monday he is kind, on Tuesday He remains kind, on Wednesday he continues to be kind.
Every day He remains Kind.
I hearken to the invitation of the King to sit at his table and to eat continually from his table.
I declare that I will not give up my seat at the table of the King,The Lord lifts me up where I belong and I reign and rule alongside Him.
So help me spirit of the living God.
This is Sassy, and I pray the release of the Kingdom of God in your life.
