Focus Verses
7: "I will declare the decree of the Lord..."
Meditations:
Joyce's commentary in my bible highlights verse 7 in a way that is very meaningful to me right now... I believe this is rhema for me! :)
She says, "The written word of God is the formal decree of the Lord, our King. When we declare God's words out of our mouths, with hearts full of faith, those faith-filled words go forth to establish God's order in our lives. When the royal decree is pronounced, things begin to change!" The reason why this is so meaningful to me will be explained.
On Sunday we were given a prophecy at church. At the bible-study meeting yesterday, we were asked if we had taken out time to meditate on the prophecy... We were then made to understand the importance of not only meditating on the prophecy but also speaking it!
Pastor Tim informed us through the Holy Spirit that faith is not only believing but speaking aloud also!
I personally have never put any weight to speaking out in faith as such... As much as I understand the importance of walking in faith, I have been reminded this week, through God's word and in fellowship, just how important it is to speak out in faith!
Joshua 1:8 says that "this book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth..." Therefore, we are not only to meditate on Gods word but speak it constantly, never letting it depart from our mouths!
God our Father Who we are created in the likeness of "...Gives life to the dead, and calleth into being that which does not exist." (Romans 4:17) The revelation here is that by speaking the word of God into our lives, we are tapping into and releasing the victory contained in His word into our lives... Calling God's blessings and promises into being!
I can list several occasions even just recently when I have spoken by faith (though not knowing this was what I was doing) and receiving exactly the same measure of what I have spoken! Its amazing when God opens your eyes to things that you just would not have realised!
This prophecy that we have been given, as it is the word of God, will surely come to pass... and I aim to SPEAK, SPEAK, SPEAK it into being in my life! "For they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the words of their testimony..." (Revelation 12:11)
I thank the Holy Spirit for showing and teaching us the ways of the Lord.
God bless
