Our Story by Rebecca Cooley

One way you can detect God’s fingerprint on something is that it is exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond anything you could have asked for, or imagined or thought up! 

The house we had been renting sold in January and we had six months to relocate.  We began praying and packing on the day of closing in February.  As the weeks passed, we encountered fear at every angle.  We were asked, “What are you going to do?”  Our reply, “All we know is that we are moving.”  “Have you found a house yet?”  Our reply, “We are looking and we are praying.”  Sometimes fear would come in a wave without a voice.  

We began researching houses in the city limits and out of the city limits.  We researched apartments, townhouses, old homes and new homes.  We researched one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom homes.   We looked at safe neighborhoods and questionable streets.  We looked in the country and downtown.  Each conclusion was the same.  It would not work for us. 

On Memorial Day weekend we moved into the most beautiful home we have ever lived in.  It is in a gated community on a street with no traffic and wonderful neighbors.  There were several things that I had specifically asked God for and I received, but the rest was above and beyond what I had imagined or hoped for.  And the overhead is exactly the same!



I looked over journal entries from the past several months and was amazed at God’s faithfulness.  Below are a few entries and my hope is that it will encourage you to dismantle fear when it attacks and believe God for the impossible for your family.  

My steps are ordered by God and He is guiding me today.  Psalm 37:23

I am blessed and highly favored with divine intervention in my life today and I am walking in the favor of God.  

I am a tither.  I have tither rights.  God’s grace and favor are over my life and I am self-sufficient and require no aid or support from anyone.  I declare that I am in a position for blessings.  1 Cor 9:8

My faith reaches into the realm of the Spirit, grasps the promises of God and brings forth a tangible, physical fulfillment of those promises.  Faith brings action to earth!

I release my faith with words.  The Holy Spirit causes my words to manifest.  I declare the Word and angels surround me and heed the Word and take action.  Psalm 103:20

We are tithers and God has a legal right to get involved in our affairs! 1 Peter 5:7

I speak those things that are not as though they were.  I speak over our new home to be revealed to us.  I call forth provision angels to help us with our new home. 

I release the anointing of God for promotion and provision.  I speak God’s divine entrance and encounter into our new home. 

When faith filled words come out of your mouth, they are backed by the Spirit of God and the angels of God.  

You don’t need money.  All you need is the favor of God! 

God says, “DO NOT FEAR! I, the Lord, will keep hold of your right hand and I will help you so do not be afraid!”  Isaiah 41:13

God gives me a home in which to dwell.  He leads me to prosperity! He places me in a place of prosperity! He bears my burdens and carries me day by day.  Psm 68:6, 10

Whatever things you ask for in prayer, in accordance with God’s will, believe with confident trust that you have received them and they will be given to you.  Mark 11:23

God is leading us forth by the straight and right way that we might go to a city where we can establish our home.  We praise You Lord and confess to You Your goodness and loving kindness and Your wonderful works! You alone satisfy our hungry souls with Your goodness!  Psalm 107:8-9

I called upon the Lord in distress and the Lord answered me and set me in a large place.  This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!  Psalm 118:5, 8

Thank You Lord for the plans you have for our family – plans for good and not evil, plans of prosperity and not calamity, plans full of hope and a good future.  Jer 29:11

Sound a war cry!  Begin a fast – pray, worship and believe!  The fingerprint of God will be on our move! 

I write out our requests and bring them boldly and persistently before God.  Luke 11:9

God is able and will, according to the power that is at work in me (my faith is that power) to do supernaturally, superabundantly far over and above all that I could dare ask or think – beyond my highest prayers, desires, thoughts and dreams.  2 Cor 9:8

I declare this Word over my family today.  God is our source for everything!  I speak over our minds to be renewed and to fully embrace the fact that God provides for us and He is the source of everything we need.  I declare that we will receive houses, cars, appliances, clothes and money from God!  1 Cor 8:6 

We place ourselves in a position to receive.  Ephesians 2:4

I believe God loves us more than I can imagine and he longs to bless us.  Eph 2:4

I believe He hears us when we call.  Exodus 22:27

I believe we have authority to put satan in his place.  Luke 10:19

I believe we are on the winning side.  Col 2:15

I believe God is good and that he wants to provide for us and can do it well beyond my imagination.  Psalm 16:2; 21:19, Eph 3:20

Jesus says, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy and you can stop him in his tracks!  Luke 10:19 

God says, I will not in any way fail you or give you up or leave you without support.  I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless or forsake you or let you down or relax my hold on you.  Believe this!  I am your Helper and you need not be seized with alarm or fear or be terrified because I AM WITH YOU!  Heb 13:5

God’s name is Elohim.  He is infinite in power and absolute in faithfulness!

God’s name is Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides. 

If the enemy comes to accuse me or attack me with fear, I no longer waste time rebuking and screaming at him.  I immediately go to my Father and repent and ask forgiveness for any sin I have committed.  I take it to my Father and settle it and receive any instructions for further action.  Then if He advises me to bind, rebuke or declare anything, I do it.  Matthew 5:25

God’s mercy grants us favor, benefits, opportunities and especially salvation.  I refuse discouragement, despondency and spiritlessness.  I refuse to become faint with weariness and exhaustion.  Ephesians 4:1

God has made His angels winds and His ministering servants flames of fire to do his bidding.  Thank You Father, for sending angels to serve my family to receive favor today from you and from people.  Heb 1:7, 14

The wealth of the sinner finds its way eventually into the hands of the righteous for whom it was laid up.  Proverbs 13:22


Father, thank you for your faithfulness and your grace and mercy on our lives.  Thank you for those you have sent to teach me and train me and help me.  Thank you for our home and for every blessing associated with it.  I pray for the person who has read my story to the end and has been blessed by your blessings on me.  I ask you to give them hope for their situation and needs and receive an impartation of your grace and mercy on their affairs.  In Jesus Name.
