EL ELYON
from You Version
God Most High
Genesis 14.19-29
PRAYER
God Most High, You are worthy of my highest and truest praise. Your unparalleled supremacy decimates my pride and self-sufficiency. Nothing and no one comes close to You. You alone are the ultimate recipient of all honor, glory, and power.
Thank You for the blood of Christ, through which I can be in a relationship with God Most High.
Forgive me for elevating anything higher than You, even the inherently good things in life. Forgive me when I pursue counterfeit or lesser gods who only offer empty promises.
Lord, only You can help me fully recognize and submit to Your sovereignty and authority over everything. Reign in every area of my life; You deserve the highest place of honor.
Because You are God Most High, I declare I fear nothing and no one but You alone.

A FEW FACTS…
- El is the generic term used to refer to God, while Elyon signifies “Most High” in Hebrew. When combined, the term El Elyon emphasizes the majestic and supreme nature of God.
- The root word of Elyon implies “going up” or “ascending.” Hence, El Elyon can also be understood as “the Ascended God.”
- The biblical mention of the name El Elyon occurs in relation to Melchizedek, a mysterious and timeless king of Salem and a priest of El Elyon. Melchizedek offered bread and wine to Abram, blessed him, and in return, Abram gave him a tenth of everything. (Genesis 14:18–20)

EXERCISE 2:
DECLARATION
He is El Elyon, God Most High. His reign is absolute and all-encompassing. How does this profound truth shape the way you live today? Reflect upon it and pen down your declaration.
Because You are God Most High, I declare I can / I will / I am…
Read your declaration out loud with power and intent. If He sees that you can/you will/you are, who are you to disagree with Him? Become your own cheerleader, affirming and motivating yourself. Repeat your declaration a few times to renew your mind and rewire your brain. Through this practice, you align yourself with His divine reality, a realm that transcends the understanding of the world.
