Ten Declarations for the Prevailing of God’s Righteousness and Justice

1. Declaration of God’s Righteous Judgment
   Righteous God, You are a just Judge, and You are angry with wickedness every day. We declare that Your judgments are true and upright, and that no evil escapes Your sight. Let Your righteous judgment stand as You have decreed. (Psalm 7:11)
2. Declaration of the Absence of Peace for Wickedness
   Lord, You have declared that there is no peace for the wicked. We affirm that unrest, unease, and instability expose the false security of those who reject Your ways, until repentance and righteousness prevail. (Isaiah 57:19)
3. Declaration of the Return of Evil upon the Wicked
   Just God, You have said that the wicked are ensnared by their own iniquities. We declare that violence, deception, and evil counsel turn back upon those who practice them, according to Your Word. (Psalm 37:15; Proverbs 5:22)
4. Declaration of the Shortening of Wicked Influence
   Lord, You decree that the years of the wicked are shortened and their future is cut off. We declare that ungodly influence, legacy, and authority are restrained and brought to nothing by Your hand. (Proverbs 10:27; Psalm 37:38)
5. Declaration of the Exposure of Darkness
   God of light, You have said the way of the wicked is like darkness, and they do not know what makes them stumble. We declare that darkness is exposed, confusion increases, and hidden motives are brought into the open by Your truth. (Proverbs 4:19)
6. Declaration of the Removal of False Strength
   Mighty Lord, You break the arm of the wicked and cut off their horn of pride. We declare that unlawful power, arrogant authority, and boastful strength are dismantled by Your righteous hand. (Psalm 37:17; Psalm 75:10)
7. Declaration of Divine Recompense
   Righteous Judge, You have spoken plainly: it shall be ill with the wicked, for they shall receive the reward of their own hands. We declare that Your recompense is just, measured, and perfectly aligned with truth. (Isaiah 3:11)
8. Declaration of the Overthrow of Wicked Foundations
   Lord, You overthrow the house of the wicked and cast them down. We declare that systems, structures, and plans built on injustice cannot stand before You. Let righteousness establish what remains. (Proverbs 14:11; Psalm 147:6)
9. Declaration of the Fear That Follows Wickedness
   Holy God, You have said the wicked flee when no one pursues. We declare that guilt, fear, and unrest pursue those who resist truth, while the righteous stand bold and secure in You. (Proverbs 28:1)
10. Declaration of God’s Covenant Justice
    Faithful Lord, You do not act because of human righteousness, but because of Your covenant and the wickedness You oppose. We declare that Your justice advances not by man’s merit, but by Your faithfulness to Your Word and promises. (Deuteronomy 9:5–6)

Amen.
