Neil Anderson: "Alliance of the Winner in Christ"
"Steps for the Liberation in Christ"

1. I Put all to my confidence in the Lord, I do not trust in the flash and I declare myself dependent in the Lord.

2. I decide consciously submit myself to God and resist to the devil, denying even myself, taking my cross daily and following Jesus.

3. I decide to humiliate myself before the powerful hand of God, for that he can exalt me in opportune time.

4. I Declare the truth of that I am dead for the sin, free of him and alive for God in Christ Jesus, since I died with Christ and I was raised with Him.

5. I accepted cheerfully the truth that I am now a son of God, loved unconditionally and accepted

6. I Declare that the sin will no longer dominate me, because I am not under the law, but under the grace and there is no more blame or condemnation because I am spiritually alive in Jesus Christ.

7. I resign of any incorrect use of my body and I commit myself not to any longer conform with this world.

8. I decide to believe the truth and walk in it, without considering my feelings or circumstances.

9. I Commit myself to take all captive thought to the obedience of Christ.

10. I Commit myself with the greater objective of God. To make my life according to his image.

11. I decide to adopt the attitude of Christ, doing nothing with selfishness or presumption but with humble spirit.
