DECLARATION
TODAY we declare that our home is filled with oneness, togetherness, unity, and fellowship. Our home is characterized by a closeness and affection between all who live and visit here. We love
to be together, talk, interact, and communicate with one another. We are a family that enjoys fun activities without distraction or interruption. We say that nothing can disrupt our family time and the closeness we share in this home. We break the power of all evil spirits that would come to separate, divide, distract, or invade our togetherness, in Jesus’ Name! We prophesy that we have our schedules, plans, and activities in order so that an atmosphere of unity thrives and we can spend time together without disruption or distraction. We say that we are a household of togetherness and we are a family of closeness!
SCRIPTURE
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! (Psalm 133:1)
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
If you are like many families, you already know the challenges that can arise to keep you from spending quality time with your loved ones. You also know there are countless things that can creep in to create separation until everyone is so busy doing their own thing that they’re doing nothing together. Family togetherness is the quest of nearly every family that exists, and it’s something to be fought for and protected. Make it a goal to develop quality family time, while simultaneously considering what you can eliminate that might disrupt family togetherness. Too often a sense of closeness isn’t just built by what we do; it’s also built by what we remove. For example, too many hours at work will eventually take its toll on family time. It’s also important to consider that a sense of togetherness can be easily increased through simple, meaningful, and regular conversation. Phone calls, kind notes, and thoughtful gestures all lead to feelings of closeness. Lastly, avoid speaking words of division or expressing continual feelings of frustration. Instead, declare togetherness and allow it to permeate the atmosphere of your home!
