Therefore, through faith, I will be patient, kind, forgiving, loving, compassionate, Gracious, Gentle. I will not be provoked to anger, nor will I take into an account a wrong suffered. Jesus has dealt with my past. Therefore I stand firm against the schemes of the enemy and will not walk under His word, His Lies or His Accusations. I am indeed the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
