GOODBYE, ORPHAN SPIRIT!

JUICY JULY 2025: ABBA FATHER

DAY 1: GOODBYE, ORPHAN SPIRIT!

TEXT: ROMANS 8:15; 1 JOHN 3:1; DEUTERONOMY 1:31

BIBLE STUDY: JOHN 1

 

Beloved sister, welcome to the 8th edition of Juicy July! Oh yes! The BUD Family first had Juicy July in 2018. And how amazing that we are having the 8th one already! Glory be to the Lord Most High. Amen. If you have been a ‘Juicer’, a ‘squeezer’ all these years, may the glory of this latter house surpass all the formers in the Name of Jesus. And if this is your first Juicy July, oh, may this be a glorious, unforgettable turnaround moment in your life by the Power of the Lord Most High in Jesus’ Name.

TESTIMONY

Sis, this is a testimony from one of our sisters after the Juicy July 2024. These are two testimonies fused into one. The first came September 24th, 2024. The other came December 19th, 2024. It was titled ‘Quote me, sis’: 


Mamaaaa. Good morning Mama 🤩🤩. Trust you’ve been well. Mama I’m really sorry I’m sharing my testimony late. 

Mama God diddddd oooo. Mama I remember one of the juicy July bulletins where you said that even if the job you’re doing isn’t paying so much, we should put in more diligence. So I got called back in July to the job that was terminated in May and the salary was still the same; however, my salary pay last month was increased by 50%.

Also Mama, I think the last day bulletin, you said “QUOTE ME SIS: “THE LORD IS ABOUT TO OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR UPON YOU BLESSINGS.”” Mama God has open the windows of heaven oooo. Last month, my husband got an aluminum contract that paid him almost a million naira profit. We were about to pay our huge house rent despite not having savings. Mama do you know that prior to this, my daughter couldn’t use milk in her pap for a week and my baby had nothing to eat asides breastmilk as he was transitioning. On the day he clocked six months was when this contract came 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.

Mama God has been faithful. Thank you so much ma.

 

————————

📜 Good morning Mama 🥰. Happy holidays. How is the family doing?

Mama, you said we should quote you and I won’t stop quoting you ooo. 

“QUOTE ME SIS: “THE LORD IS ABOUT TO OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR UPON YOU BLESSINGS.”” has been manifesting in my family since August.

Last month, I got a 3-month international internship that will pay me in dollars and I resumed last week 💃.

This internship has been on my prayer list since last year. I applied for it in January this year but my initial application was not approved. Then, God told me “September” as at March when I saw that I didn’t scale through. I applied again towards the end of June and now, I AM IN 💃💃💃.

I’ve been getting rejection emails from companies I’ve applied to but God saved the best for me. Praise God Mama 😅

 

TESTIMONY PRAYERS

Shout Halleluyah on behalf of our sister. Amen. 

Our God is a wonder! If He has done this, yours is just next in line! May your own story bring people to tears of joy soon, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

 

Let’s take this moment to lift our voices with gratitude:

Thank You, Lord, for these testimonies. We give You ALL the glory. None belongs to us! Father, glorify Yourself even more in the life of the testifier in Jesus’ Name. 

 

Now, say:

Oh Lord, don’t leave me out. Let me carry my own testimony with dancing from the beginning of Juicy July 2025 to the end and thereafter. Lord, may everyone praying in Juicy July 2025 have something tangible to show in Jesus Name. We receive it by faith in Jesus Name. Amen. 

 

EXHORTATION: GOODBYE, ORPHAN SPIRIT!

Eve was a married woman. A beautiful wife. Prayerful. Gifted. Leader of the women’s fellowship in her church. People admired her for her discipline, her drive, her spiritual “depth.” But behind her strength was an ache she had no words for.

She just couldn’t rest in love!

Her husband was kind, godly, and deeply committed to her. But Eve questioned him constantly. If he was quiet, she panicked. If he corrected her gently, she recoiled, as if she had been beaten. She couldn’t relax. Couldn’t be held. To her, softness was weakness.

Her friends laughed about calling their dads, but for Eve, her father’s name still sent shivers down her spine. Her voice dropped when he called. Her hands trembled. Though he hadn’t raised a hand to be her in years, the sound of his voice still rang like a threat.

“Why did God let me be born there?” she’d ask in secret. Her childhood memories were filled with shouting, harsh discipline, silent dinners, and always trying to “earn” attention. 

So when people at church cried “Abba Father!” Eve stiffened. She avoided such songs.

She didn’t say “Father.” She said, “Lord.” She called Him Master, King, Ruler. She could submit to Him as God… but not as Daddy.

That word “Father” was loaded. It meant fear. It meant distance. It meant being shouted at, not held. Judged, not understood.

So, though she was born again, Eve served like a slave, not like a daughter. Always working. Always doing. Never asking. Never receiving. She preferred earning love, not resting in it.

She found scriptures about God’s judgment easy to believe. But the ones about His love? She’d skip them. Too mushy, she thought. Unrealistic.

 

SATAN HATES FATHERS!

One of Satan’s most consistent, strategic attacks has always been against fathers. Why? Because fathers are God’s representatives of headship, covering, identity, discipline, and love. They are the mirrors of God’s nature in the home. When the devil wants to destroy a generation, he doesn’t start with the child, he targets the father.

The man is the head (1 Corinthians 11:3), the seed carrier, the name giver, the vision bearer, the protector, and the foundation layer of homes. If Satan can kill or paralyze the father, the family is left vulnerable, unstable, and exposed.

Satan’s agenda is a generation without fathers. The enemy knows that if you see your earthly father as harsh, distant, or unavailable, it becomes hard for you to trust your Heavenly Father. That’s why he works overtime to wound the image of fathers in homes.

And so today, we see:

  • Fathers killed early by mysterious illnesses, accidents, or sudden tragedy. 
  • Fathers who are present, but unavailable: physically there, emotionally absent. 
  • Fathers bound by addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography. 
  • Fathers trapped in adultery, manipulation, and emotional abuse. 
  • Fathers mentally unstable, financially crippled, or spiritually weak. 
  • Fathers who abandoned the home and never looked back. 

And the result of this?
Wives crying. Children aching. Sons struggling to find identity. Daughters craving affection. Oh my!

So many people today are grieving a father they lost to death, madness, irresponsibility, or neglect. Some have never even met theirs. Some wish they never did. Hmmmmm

But well, not all earthly fathers failed. Some were present, prayerful, loving, and intentional. Some worked two jobs just to put food on the table. Some laid hands on their children every night to bless them. Some bent their knees before God before bending over their children’s cribs. Some stayed. Some fought. Some stood firm when everything tried to shake them.

But even the best of them, yes, even the most godly, humble, and loving of them can only reflect the shadow of who Abba Father truly is.

Because only God…

  • Never sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121:4)

  • Always hears when we cry (Psalm 34:17)

  • Loves us without changing (Jeremiah 31:3)

  • Knows the thoughts He has for us (Jeremiah 29:11)

  • Disciplines us in love, not anger (Hebrews 12:6–10)

  • And gave His own Son just to get us back (John 3:16)

Even the best dads are still learning how to father. But God the Father is the very definition of Fatherhood. So whether your earthly father was good, flawed, absent, or wonderful, you can still say: “Abba, You are my first and perfect Father. You’re the One I can always run to.”

The Psalmist declares in Psalm 68:5: “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”

We have a real Father and He is God! He’s not too busy to attend to you. He’s not inconsistent. He’s not violent, lustful, or irresponsible. He is faithful, present, patient, loving, powerful, kind, and wise.

 

SIGNS OF AN ORPHAN SPIRIT


1. Striving for Approval: You always feel like you need to “earn” love, even from God. You believe you need to work, perform, and exhaust yourself trying to be accepted. Deep down, you fear that if you stop performing, the love will stop too.


2. Insecurity and Low Self-Worth:
You struggle to see yourself the way God sees you. You feel small, unseen, or even invisible. Compliments are hard to believe. You often think others are better, more deserving, more spiritual and you disqualify yourself before God can even speak.

3. Fear of Rejection: You walk on eggshells around people. One wrong word or action from someone, and you spiral emotionally. You’re constantly afraid that people will walk away from you because some already did. Even with God, you sometimes wonder, “Will He leave me too?”


4. Independence and Self-Reliance:
It’s hard for you to trust anyone. You’ve been disappointed too many times, so now you say things like, “I’ve got me.” You don’t ask for help, even when drowning. You take care of everyone else, but you secretly wish someone would truly care for you.


5. Jealousy and Competitiveness:
When others succeed, you smile but inside, you wonder why it’s never your turn. You feel like there’s not enough love, attention, or favor to go around. Instead of celebration, you silently compete, compare, or feel left behind.

6. Lack of Rest and Peace: You’re constantly on edge, even in your spiritual life. Resting makes you feel lazy. You feel guilty when you’re not “doing something.” Even prayer can feel like another item to tick off, because you feel like God will be mad if you don’t keep up.


7. Easily Offended or Defensive:
You guard your heart but not in the biblical way, but like a fortress. When someone gives feedback, your first reaction is to defend yourself. You’re so used to being blamed or misunderstood that even love feels suspicious.

8. Difficulty Relating to God as Father: You know God as Master or even Provider, but not Father. You don’t feel safe to come as you are. You pray, but it’s formal. You obey, but out of fear. You struggle to believe He’s tender, present, and delighted in you, just as and even more than a loving dad should be.


9. Fear of Being Alone:
Silence is scary for you. Being by yourself makes you feel abandoned or forgotten. You often crave constant communication, company, or affirmation because the thought of being alone brings back deep, hidden fears.

10. Unstable Identity: You don’t really know who you are. Your confidence goes up and down depending on who’s around, what was said to you, or what you achieved. You’re shaped more by past pain, failures, or people’s opinions than by God’s voice.

 

11. Constant Need for Validation: You constantly crave affirmation, even for small things. A lack of praise makes you feel unloved. You don’t feel seen unless someone points it out. Deep down, you want someone, anyone, to say, “You’re doing well. I’m proud of you.”


12. Difficulty Trusting Authority:
You find it hard to trust leaders, mentors, or people God places over you. You always assume there’s a catch. Even when someone tries to love or guide you, you’re waiting for them to fail, abandon you, or misuse you, because others did before.


13. Withholding Emotions:
You struggle to be vulnerable. You smile when you’re hurting. You’d rather suffer silently than risk being judged. You often say “I’m fine” when you’re not, because somewhere along the line, you learned that your emotions were “too much” or “a burden.”


14. Fear of Punishment, Not Correction:
When you make a mistake, you feel shame and hide. You think God is angry and ready to punish. You don’t run to Him when you fall, you run away. You fear that mistakes disqualify you from love.


15. Serving Without Sonship:
You do everything right: attend church, serve, lead, help others… but deep down, you feel empty. It’s like you’re working in the house of a Father you don’t truly know. You serve God, but don’t rest in His love.

16. Envy of Those Who Are “Close to God”: When others say, “God told me…” or “I felt His presence,” you feel disqualified. You believe God speaks, but not to you. You admire others who seem close to Him, but feel like you’re watching through a window, not welcome in the room.


17. Shame Over Needs:
You find it hard to admit when you need help, financially, emotionally, or spiritually. You’d rather go hungry than ask for food. There’s a part of you that feels undeserving, as though having needs makes you a burden or weak.


18. Chameleon Tendencies:
You change who you are depending on who’s around. You become what people want just to be accepted. You hide parts of your story, your personality, or your pain because you fear that if people really knew, they would walk away.

19. Over-responsibility: You carry weight that’s not yours to carry. You’re the fixer, the “strong one,” the go-to. You care for others but ignore yourself. You believe everything depends on you, because it used to feel like it did.


20. You Struggle to Receive:
You’re always the giver. You’re uncomfortable when people love you, bless you, or show you kindness. You downplay compliments and decline help. You’d rather stay in control than be vulnerable and receive.

 

21. You can’t wait for God: You say you trust Him, but in your heart, there’s a clock ticking loudly. If He delays, you panic. You scramble to open doors by yourself because deep down, you fear that no one’s really looking out for you, not even God.


22. You’re anxious, always worrying about what’s next:
Rest feels like a luxury you can’t afford. Even when things are fine, your heart is on edge. You’re rehearsing disasters in your head, expecting the worst, because orphans fend for themselves. Daughters trust their Father’s hand.

23. You badmouth people who are well rested in the Father’s love: When you see someone peaceful and at ease in God, it annoys you. You call them unrealistic, proud, heartless, strange, naive, unserious but truthfully, you’re angry that they’re enjoying something you’ve never tasted.

24. You always have someone to blame: Your pain must have a culprit. Parents. Pastors. Exes. Siblings. Church people. God Himself. You carry a mental list of who ‘ruined your life’, because taking responsibility feels too heavy without the comfort of a Father to help you heal.


25. You’re always protecting yourself:
You raise your voice, throw walls up, shut people out, and fight to stay safe. You say, “I don’t trust people,” but what you really mean is, “I’ve never known what it’s like to be covered and defended.”


26. You’re always “on stage”:
You act perfect, holy, sweet, confident but deep down, you’re tired. You want someone to see the real, messy, broken you and still stay. But you don’t believe love like that exists, so you perform.


27. You feel unprotected, exposed, and cry secretly:
You laugh around people, but weep in the bathroom. You show strength, but you’re scared. You handle everything alone because somewhere along the line, you decided: “No one’s coming to save me. I’m on my own.”

 

CAUSES OF THE ORPHAN SPIRIT

1. We Were Born That Way

The orphan spirit is not only emotional, it is spiritual. When Adam and Eve believed Satan’s lie and disconnected from the Father, humanity became spiritually orphaned. We were born separated from God, and even though He never stopped loving us, we lost the intimacy we were created for. So, the first cause of the orphan spirit is inherited separationno, t from God’s love, but from the awareness and experience of His Fatherhood.

 

2. We Were Raised by Orphans Too

Many of us were raised by parents who didn’t know God as Father either. Even if they loved us, they may have operated from fear, lack, survival, or shame, because that’s all they knew. Wounded people raise wounded people. If your mother or father never knew what it meant to be held by Abba, how could they show you what it looked like?

 

3. We Were Hurt by Those Meant to Protect Us

Abuse, abandonment, harsh discipline, manipulation, or even emotional neglect by caregivers or spiritual leaders can fracture the father lens. You begin to believe God must be like them, distant, angry, impossible to please. So instead of running to God, you flinch or perform for Him, just like you did for the humans who failed you.

 

4. Early Exposure to Rejection

Maybe you were unwanted at birth, or felt constantly compared, unloved, or not good enough. These early rejections planted seeds:
“I’m alone.” “I must perform to be accepted.” “No one’s coming to help me.” And those lies become the lens through which you see even God.

 

5. Trauma & Crisis Moments

Major life disruptions like death of a parent, divorce, betrayal, poverty, betrayal from trusted leaders can shatter your security. Even when you knew God before, pain whispers, “If God was really your Father, would He have allowed this?” So, you begin to live guarded, orphaned in your emotions even if you’re saved in your spirit.

 

6. Religious but not Relational Environments

Some grew up in churches where rules were louder than love. You learned to fear God but never knew you could talk to Him. You were told about Hell, but never held by Abba. That religious environment may have fed your orphan spirit, making you feel like a servant in a kingdom where you were meant to be a daughter.

 

7. Satanic Lies & Accusations

Satan’s biggest weapon is deception. He plants thoughts like: “God has favorites and you’re not one of them.”, “You’ve messed up too much to be accepted.”, “No one really sees or values you.” And if we don’t catch those lies early, we wear them like identities until they become strongholds.

 

8. Fatherless Nations & Cultures

In many societies, men are absent, passive, abusive, or unavailable. So naturally, when you hear “God is Father,” it triggers confusion, fear, or nothing at all. Cultural patterns of broken homes and emotional suppression can normalize orphan living—until Jesus interrupts the cycle.

 

CHRIST’S MODEL

After the first Adam had the Orphan crisis and believed the Devil that his Father didn’t really care for him, God had to send the Second Adam.  The Eternal God, the second Person of the Trinity, took a deep bow and came to Earth, not only to save us, but to show us what it means to be a Son again. He didn’t only come to die. He came to live as a Son so that we would know how sons live!

And He walked this earth not using His divine nature, but as a man, depending entirely on the Father. And He called God Father, never “God”, all through His life. The only time He cried, “My God!” was when the Father turned His face away on the cross, when Jesus bore our sin and descended to that forsaken place. That moment was Hell, because the Father wasn’t there. Ayaaaaaa! Hell is where the Father is not! Maybe your life is hellish right now because you haven’t yet accepted or yielded to the Fatherhood of God! 

That’s what hell is, sis, not fire, but the absence of the Father.

So every other moment, Jesus said: “My Father…” “Your Father…” “Our Father…”

He even told Mary after His resurrection: “Go and tell my brothers, ‘I am returning to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’” (John 20:17)

Did you catch that? “Your Father.” You’re not left out. He made room for you in the family. He came low to raise you high. He stripped Himself so you could be clothed in sonship again.

Sis, do you see it now?

You’ve got a Father!

And not just any Father, a loving, responsible, doting, always-present Father. The kind every little girl dreams of, the kind every grown woman still aches for.

No man on earth can perfectly picture Him. Not your earthly dad, not your pastor, not your husband, not your spiritual leader. They may give glimpses, but only Abba gives the real thing.

And the Holy Spirit in you? He knows. That’s why He’s always stirring, always crying out from within you: “Abba, Father!” (Romans 8:15)

 

Let me ask you, sis: Have you received this revelation? Or is it still just head knowledge?

You may know it in theory that God is your Father, but does your heart know it? Do you rest in it? Do you cry, “My Father!” when you’re tired, lonely, confused, or just in need of a hug?

Jesus said, “No one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son reveals Him.” (Matthew 11:27)

 

So today, pray with me:

“Oh Jesus, reveal the Father to me! Not just to my brain, but to my heart. Impress it on the table of my heart that I may truly know I’m not alone. That I have a Father, and I am loved.”

 

Dear sis, imagine the most present, loving, protective, generous, wise, joyful, consistent, strong, gentle father you could ever think of… Now multiply that by infinity. And even that doesn’t scratch the surface of who your Father is!!!! You can take it to the bank, sis! It doesn’t! Oh, Father of lights! 

 

You’ve got a Father, sis.

Say it boldly: I’ve got a Father!

 

Say this like you believe it: I am not alone. I am not abandoned. I am not fatherless. I’ve got a Father! Hallelujah!

 

GOODBYE, ORPHAN SPIRIT! ABBA FATHER JUICY JULY 2025

And sis, this, this right here, is what Juicy July 2025 is all about: Bonding with our Father. Dropping the cloak of fatherlessness and the blanket of orphanhood!

 

We are pouring our hearts into His hands, and He, oh yes, He, is pouring His into ours. We’re not just fasting. We’re not just praying. We are gaining back what the devil stole when he made Eve and Adam doubt the heart of their Father. We are gaining back the Father!

 

We are rising into the identity that comes from intimacy.

 

We are waking up to the reality of who we really are: Daughters. Not orphans.

 

Oh sis, this is my cry for you… That you will begin to feel what I feel and even more. That the comfort, the security, the strength, and the rest I’ve found in His Fatherhood and even much more will wrap itself around your soul until you can finally breathe, finally rest, finally live!

 

I didn’t truly rest until Christ introduced me to my Father. I was in church. I was doing “God things.” But my soul still wandered, still panicked, still searched. Until… He showed me the Father!!!!

 

And I pray, no, I travail, that you too will find the Father in this season. That your spiritual eyes will be opened to see Him not just as the God of thunder and glory… but as the Abba who stoops to listen when you cry in the middle of the night.

 

That you’ll wake up and say, “How can I have a Father and still live like an orphan in this dry, lonely world?”

 

You are not fatherless. You are not a victim. You are not a pauper. You are not unwanted. You are not a mistake. You are a daughter of God. And oh, if only your heart could respond to that divine babble. That “Abba” rising from the pit of your spirit like the cry of a baby in need. That raw, tender, simple trust… “Baba… Dadda… Father…”

 

This is the cry the Holy Spirit is birthing in those who truly yield to Him.

 

And if your heart doesn’t long for the Father, despite your salvation, despite your tongues, perhaps it’s time to ask: Have I truly let the Spirit lead?

 

Because the first thing He’ll stir in you, my dear sister, is a longing for your Father.

 

If you don’t feel it yet, cry out again:

“Oh Father, fix my heart. Let it begin to long for You. Help me surrender to the Holy Spirit. That He may awaken in me the cry of daughterhood. That I may know You. That I may feel You. That I may rest in You. Let this orphan spirit break off me forever. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”

 

Sis, this Father, He’s coming for your heart this month! Amen! 

 

Welcome to Juicy July 2025, sis.

 

NOT YET BORN AGAIN?

Sis, stop for a moment. Yes, you, right there. You’ve prayed. You’ve fasted. You’ve joined meetings. You’ve sung songs. You’ve even cried at altar calls. But are you truly born again?

Not just religious. Not just raised in a Christian home. Not just “trying to be good.” But born again?

“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” – John 3:3

 

Sis, the truth is: you were born into sin. No matter how moral, kind, church-going, or well-behaved you may seem, you are a sinner in desperate need of a Saviour. You were not born saved. You were born fallen. In you dwells no good thing. You wear a bag of flesh and iniquity that rebels against God by default. (Romans 7:18)

 

You may be active in church and still be dead inside. You may say all the right things and still be outside the Kingdom. Because without the new birth, you are not yet His.

 

Sis, you cannot just stroll into the Kingdom. You must be born into it. Just as in the natural, birth is messy, painful, and undeniable, so it is in the Spirit. It is messy because you will have to come face to face with your sin and depravity. It is painful because your pride will be broken. Your flesh will be confronted. Repentance will tear through old mindsets. It is undeniable because when you’re truly born again, you know. Everyone around you knows. Something has shifted. You are changed.

 

So, to be born again is to:

  • Realize that you are lost,
  • Hate the life of sin you once embraced,
  • Repent with deep sorrow,
  • Surrender everything, and
  • Receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord, completely and unreservedly.

 

Then, you must believe. Oh yes, sis! In this Kingdom, faith is the currency we spend. When you say, “Lord, I surrender,” you must believe that heaven hears, that the transaction is sealed, that your name has been written in the Book of Life, and that you are no longer the same.

 

SYMPTOMS OF THE NEW BIRTH

You will know, sis! Ah, you will know! Because suddenly, the things you used to love, sin, pride, worldliness, begin to grieve you. Your appetite changes. Your spirit becomes sensitive. Conviction flows like a river. You just can’t continue like before.

Why? Because the Spirit of the Living God has entered your being and ownership has changed.

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17

You may stumble, but you won’t be comfortable in sin anymore. Why? Because the Spirit of God has entered you and marked you as His.

 

Sis, I don’t know where you are right now, but God does. And if there is even the slightest doubt in your heart about your salvation, don’t gamble with your soul. Don’t gamble with your life, your eternity. Today, make it right.

Fall on your knees. Cry out to Him. Don’t just whisper, weep if you must. Let it come from deep within.

Pray with me: Oh, Father in Heaven, I come to You today. I am a sinner. I am lost. I am undone. I have tried in my own strength, but I now see how desperately I need You. I repent of my sins. I lay down my pride. I renounce every way I’ve walked outside of You. I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die in my place. I believe He took my punishment. I believe He rose again to give me life.

Father, I receive the sacrifice of Jesus. I receive Him as my Saviour and my Lord. Wash me in His precious blood. Cleanse me. Strip me of my old life. Make me truly born again.

Break the power of sin over me, Lord. Let the dominion of the flesh be destroyed. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Let Your Spirit cry “Abba” within me. Make me Your daughter indeed.

I believe I am now Yours. I believe You have received me. I belong to You. Thank You, Father, for saving me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 

Something just shifted in the spirit, sis! If you meant that prayer, you are no longer the same. Hell has lost its grip on you. Chains have snapped. Ownership has changed. You are now a daughter of God. You’ve got a Father! Welcome to the Kingdom. Welcome to LIFE. Eternal, abundant, and real. This is not the end, sis, it’s just the beginning. Now, believe it! You’ve entered the family. Believe it! Because in this Kingdom, words seal things, and faith is the currency we spend.

Please reach out to us on [email protected]. We want to celebrate you, walk with you, and help you grow in this new life you’ve just entered. Welcome home, sis. 

 

STIRRING THE WATERS

Dear sister, it is that special moment. 10 good minutes of stirring the waters, of praying in the Holy Ghost. Please gladly take this short pause. Let the instrumental below play and just stir. Don’t rush this. Pray in the Spirit. Abba to Daughter. Spirit to Spirit.

And if you haven’t received the gift of the Holy Spirit yet? This is YOUR TIME! Cry out to Abba:  “Father, fill me! Baptize me! Immerse me in Your Spirit! I need You for life, Holy Spirit, come. Baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Father, please grant me another pentecost in Jesus Name”

Let’s start stirring. 

 

 

 

TAKE CHARGE

We are daughters, let’s take charge over the territories where we are represented right now. 

Father, by Your mighty Name, I sanctify my body, my home, and my atmosphere right now. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) and declare every strange spirit, every demonic stronghold, to flee by fire (Psalm 34:7). I cleanse this place and myself from every trace of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:17). Let Your Holy Spirit fill this space and my life with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). I take authority as Your beloved daughter and refuse to be moved. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

 

START PRAYING

Sis, if you’ve ever prayed before, now is the time to turn it up! You’re not here to joke.

 

THANKSGIVING

  • Abba Father, I thank You because I am not fatherless. I thank You for being there even when I didn’t know it.
  • Thank You, Jesus, for restoring access to the Father. Through Your sacrifice, I can now cry, “Abba, Father!”
  • Thank You for never abandoning me, even when people I loved walked away.
  • Thank You for being the Father that I can run to, even when I didn’t understand what a father truly meant.
  • Thank You, Father, for choosing me before I ever chose You!

HEALING FROM WOUNDS

  • Lord, I bring to You every wound in my heart caused by my earthly father/mother. The absence, the abuse, the rejection, the silence, the distance. Heal me, Abba!
  • I forgive my father/mother (mention the name) for every pain, shame, silence, harsh word, and neglect. I release him/her from my heart, in Jesus’ Name.
  • Every scar I carry from a father figure, whether biological, spiritual, or marital, Lord, touch it now with Your healing balm.
  • Let the orphan spirit that makes me feel like I must fend for myself be broken off my life today, in Jesus’ Name.
  • Let the orphan spirit that made me believe I had to protect myself, fight for myself, and survive on my own, be broken off my life today, in Jesus’ Name.
  • I step out of fatherlessness. I enter into daughtership. I choose to be held. I choose to be loved. I choose to be covered.
  • Father, hold me in the place where I was never held. Speak into the silence where I was never affirmed.
  • Every stronghold of fear, anxiety, and insecurity caused by abandonment, be uprooted in Jesus’ Name.
  • I destroy every lie of Satan! I bind the spirit of low self-esteem and cast it out now forever in Jesus’ Name.
  • Every emotional pattern formed by trauma and pain, be rewired by the Holy Ghost!
  • I reject striving. I reject performance mentality. I live loved in the Name of Jesus.

 

REVELATION OF ABBA FATHER

  • Lord Jesus, reveal the Father to me! Not just intellectually, but intimately. Let me know Him as my Daddy.
  • Holy Spirit, cry out within me, “Abba, Father,” until it becomes the deepest, realest truth of my life. (Romans 8:15)
  • I reject the lies of the devil that say I am alone, unworthy, or uncared for in Jesus’ Name. 
  • I renounce the lie that I must fend for myself. I renounce the fear that I am unworthy of love. I renounce the orphan identity that causes me to push people away.
  • Open my eyes to see You as the Perfect Father, Father. Help me see that You are always present, always loving, always faithful.
  • Teach me to rest in the arms of the Father. Teach me the language, posture, and freedom of daughterhood.
  • Let me no longer walk as one fatherless in spirit, Lord.

TAKE-OVER AS A DAUGHTER

  • I am not an orphan; I am a daughter of the King! I declare it boldly today!
  • I am not a beggar; I am a beloved. I receive the identity of a child who is always loved, always wanted, always secure.
  • I tear down every false identity I’ve built from pain, rejection, and wounds.
  • From today, I begin to walk, talk, pray, live, and rejoice as the King’s daughter!
  • Lord, reveal to me what it truly means to live as Your child. Let me never again settle for a pauper mentality.

 

WARFARE

  • I stand in the gap today for my generation and cry: “Oh Lord, restore fathers in our land!”
  • I break the hold of addiction, depression, irresponsibility, and sexual bondage that the Devil is trying so wickedly to cover our men in the Name of Jesus. 
  • I release the mantle of godly fatherhood upon husbands, brothers, uncles, sons, and pastors in the body of Christ in the Name of Jesus!
  • I declare that the next generation will not grow up fatherless, spiritual or physical in Jesus’ Name!
  • Every demonic agenda to distort the image of God in the home, be shattered in Jesus’ Name!
  • For every woman whose father is alive but emotionally absent, Lord, restore that father! Let there be healing and reconnection so that he may come to know You as his own Father too.

  • Lord, oh, may my husband model You. May he father our children and I from the overflow of being fathered by You.

  • Deliver my husband from broken examples, warped beliefs, and selfish patterns. Teach him how to lead, to listen, to love like You do in Jesus Mighty Name.

 

NOW, DECLARE

  • I have a Father, I will not panic again.
  • I have a covering, I am not exposed to evil.
  • I have an inheritance, I will not live small.
  • I have a Helper, I will not be stranded.
  • I have a Comforter, I will not cry alone.
  • I have an Identity, I am not what life or trauma says I am.
  • I have a Shield, No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
  • I have Provision, I shall not want.
  • I have Counsel, I will not be confused.
  • I have Protection, I will not die untimely.


Father, be my Father again and again! Father me into purpose. Father me into peace. Father me into provision. Father me into intimacy. Father me into healing. Father me into identity. Father me into security. Father me into greatness. Father me until I look like You!

 

STANDING IN THE GAP

Now, please intercede. Stand in the gap for others. Take these three as if they were yours:

ONE: I pray for grace to fast this season. Also, I pray for financial provision for items to break fast with, and finances for data subscription. I receive mercy for talking against a man of God who, behind the scenes at where I stay, has done different ill things not worthy of emulation, very improper actions, not even palatable. Regardless, when the issue was revealed and also brought to my hearing, I shouldn’t have interfered. Even though it affected me, I should have just gone back to God and spoken to Him about it, better still, prayed for the man of God. But when I see him in church, the matters I heard make me feel somehow. I receive grace to pray for him as the Spirit wills and that my prayer be not hindered, and that he will receive a change of heart and character in Jesus’ mighty name.

I also pray for grace to go closer and not be negligent of my secret place this period. I pray for grace to love God more and more, and that no matter what, this period His love will be deeply rooted in my heart, such that I’ll forever be bound with my Lover, my Lord.

I also pray that God settles me with a mentor, one whose biblical ethics will be God-inclined, such that I am godly mentored. Amen.

 

TWO: I always get distracted in my heart, though God has been helping me to overcome it, as I now pay more attention to details. But during prayers, I still get distracted, especially when I pray alone. So, I want God to give me a stable heart and silence every spirit of distraction.

I want God to be gracious unto me in the month of July 2025 and give me my husband as He has promised. God should bring His word into performance.

My elder sister has been in a relationship for some years now. I want God to touch the heart of the brother, if it is HIS WILL, so that they can both get married.

I want God to draw me closer. I want to know Him more.

As we start Juicy July, I want to have five new clients every month who will pay me well until I leave the company I currently work at.

I want God to save my sister Blessing from sin.

I want a good and comfortable job.

God, let Your will be done as it is done in heaven.


THREE:
I want to be grounded in God’s word. No more rising and falling. Total trust in God. Take away every spirit of fear and anxiety for my heart. Perfect my daddy’s health. Good success in my just concluded bar finals.

 

FATHER’S CORNER

Let the instrumental below play freely while you talk to God. Imagine Him seated right before you. Now, start to talk to Him like you can see Him. Heaven is open. Your Father is right before you. Ask away! Ask real things, meat, not chaff. It’s you and Him now. Spend this 10 minutes well, unrushed. spend more time if you so desire but make sure you spend time with your father. I can promise you before July ends, you’d start to have encounters you never knew existed! Ayaaa… Just open your mouth and let it pour! Amen!

Round off with thanksgiving when you are done.
