Todays message is going out much later than planned due to
some technical difficulties. Quite fittingly, today’s message is about
Declaring and Decreeing. A powerful approach to our relationship and
communication with God in accord with our needs. I declare and decree
uninterrupted publishing of this message.
Ever remember being so young that maybe your language skills
were not quite developed well. It drove your parents nuts, as you pointed and
whined! OMG! You want this?!, You want that?!...I’m sure you're wheels are
turning already with familiarity! Well, there is something to be said for this
too, God wants us to know we can Pray and be specific. He will Answer,
sometimes with a “yes” (don’t forget to say thanks), sometimes with a “Not yet”
(don’t forget to employ faith and also say thanks) or sometimes it’s with,
“just wait, I have something better in mind for you.”(That’s where strong faith
is required, something "better" might take longer) naturally, you
should be thankful and patient of that too!
Job 22:28 King James Bible Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it
shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
Powerful
messages have come through in regard to Declaring and Decreeing. Take a moment
to listen to this, you will not regret it.!
Declare
and Decree the word of God into and over your life.In Job 22:28 God
instructs us that if we declare a thing He will establish it!
• Kingdom prayers and decrees • Prayers releasing the fire of God • Prayers to command the morning, the day and
the night • Releasing the sword of the Lord • Releasing the arrows of the Lord • Breaking curses & casting out generational
spirits • Annuling ungodly covenants
• I have a covenant with God
Finish
your completion of these exercises with this prayer. "Lord, I forgive all
who have ever wronged me, allow My prayer over them to bring them into correct
alignment with You Lord! I pray that You would have mercy on them as You would
also have mercy upon me!"
There
is a subtle difference between not wanting to sin, because of the cost, i.e.
eternal damnation, going to hell,... even some of the physical consequences
that are associated with certain sins of the flesh, etc etc. but there's a
pivotal difference between not wanting to sin because of the consequences
versus not wanting to sin because of how it disappoints God! When you make that
internal shift between your own discomfort versus the discomfort associated
with knowing that you displeased your Loving Benevolent Creator, it just
truly changes your whole perspective on how you view God's design for your
life! It changes your perspective on how you view the things that you choose,
you realize that there is a grand design, everything is symmetrically balanced
in God's plan, it set out before us to unfold naturally, if we're walking in
obedience and in right alignment, What’s promised in that agreement is that we
will be provided the encouragement, confirmations, information, opportunities, signs, situations, steps and people
to that effect. The life you live is a witness to others.
We always have to remember, the only ones who
wind up in hell are those who refuse to accept Jesus! Everyone in Hell is there
not because of what they did, BUT because of what they didn't do! Yes, sin has
a cost and penalty which must be paid either way! That's where Jesus enters the
equation! At its simplest summation, hell is for sinners who DON'T have Jesus
and Heaven is for sinners who DO!
Do you know what having Jesus means?...Jesus
abides in you when you accept HIM! He and the Holy Spirit co-habitate with your
mind, body, spirit, soul. That's why we are referred to as human vessels! If
your vessel is polluted from within and without, a certificate of occupancy
will be forged, issued and authored from above or below!
I will leave you with this one last thought, I
found an interesting post online, it was a cleverly worded poster, something to
this affect...."Tired of hearing the word REPENT, people?!....People in
Hell wish they could hear it just one more time!"
Deuteronomy 28
Blessings for
Obedience
28 If you fully obey theLordyour God and carefully
followall his commandsI give you today, theLordyour God will set you
high above all the nations on earth.2 All these blessings will come on youand accompany you if
you obey theLordyour God:
3 You will be blessedin the city and blessed
in the country.
4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land
and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your
flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7 TheLordwill grant that the
enemieswho rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will
come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
8 TheLordwill send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your
hand to. TheLordyour God will blessyou in the land he is
giving you.
9 TheLordwill establish you as his holy people,as he promised you on
oath, if you keep the commandsof theLordyour God and walk in
obedience to him.10 Then all the peoples on
earth will see that you are called by the nameof theLord, and they will fear
you.11 TheLordwill grant you abundant
prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestockand the crops of your
ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
12 TheLordwill open the heavens, the storehouseof his bounty,to send rainon your land in season
and to blessall the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will
borrow from none.13 TheLordwill make you the head,
not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of theLordyour God that I give
you this day and carefully followthem, you will always be at the top, never at
the bottom.14 Do not turn aside from
any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left,following other gods
and serving them.
Curses for Disobedience
15 However, if you do not obeytheLordyour God and do not
carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today,all these curses will
come on you and overtake you:
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land,
and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
20 TheLordwill send on you
curses,confusion and rebukein everything you put
your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruinbecause of the evilyou have done in
forsaking him.[a]21 TheLordwill plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the
land you are entering to possess.22 TheLordwill strike you with wasting disease,with fever and
inflammation, with scorching heat and drought,with blightand mildew, which will
plagueyou until you perish.23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you
iron.24 TheLordwill turn the rainof your country into
dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
25 TheLordwill cause you to be defeatedbefore your enemies.
You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven,and you will become a
thing of horrorto all the kingdoms on earth.26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birdsand the wild animals,
and there will be no one to frighten them away.27 TheLordwill afflict you with the boils of Egyptand with tumors,
festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured.28 TheLordwill afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind.29 At midday you will gropeabout like a blind
person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after
day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescueyou.
30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will
take her and rape her.You will build a house, but you will not live in it.You will plant a
vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat
none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be
returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue
them.32 Your sons and daughters
will be given to another nation,and you will wear out
your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand.33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor
produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppressionall your days.34 The sights you see will drive you mad.35 TheLordwill afflict your knees and legs with painful boilsthat cannot be
cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36 TheLordwill drive you and the kingyou set over you to a
nation unknown to you or your ancestors.There you will worship
other gods, gods of wood and stone.37 You will become a thing of horror,a bywordand an object of
ridiculeamong all the peoples where theLordwill drive you.
38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little,because locustswill devourit.39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink
the wineor gather the grapes, because worms will eatthem.40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not
use the oil, because the olives will drop off.41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them,
because they will go into captivity.42 Swarms of locustswill take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and
higher, but you will sink lower and lower.44 They will lend to you,
but you will not lend to them.They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and
overtake youuntil you are destroyed,because you did not
obey theLordyour God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants
forever.47 Because you did not
servetheLordyour God joyfully and gladlyin the time of
prosperity,48 therefore in hunger and
thirst,in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies theLordsends against you. He
will put an iron yokeon your neckuntil he has destroyed you.
49 TheLordwill bring a nation against youfrom far away, from the
ends of the earth,like an eagleswooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand,50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the oldor pity for the young.51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your
land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wineor olive oil,nor any calves of your
herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined.52 They will lay siegeto all the cities
throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall
down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land theLordyour God is giving you.
53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the
siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters
theLordyour God has given you.54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no
compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children,55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his
children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering
your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.56 The most gentle and sensitivewoman among you—so
sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the
sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in
her dire need she intends to eat themsecretly because of the
suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law,which are written in
this book, and do not reverethis glorious and awesome name—theLordyour God—59 theLordwill send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and
prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egyptthat you dreaded, and
they will cling to you.61 TheLordwill also bring on you
every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law,until you are
destroyed.62 You who were as
numerous as the stars in the skywill be left but fewin number, because you
did not obey theLordyour God.63 Just as it pleasedtheLordto make you prosper and
increase in number, so it will pleasehim to ruin and destroy
you.You will be uprootedfrom the land you are
entering to possess.
64 Then theLordwill scatteryou among all nations,from one end of the
earth to the other.There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which
neither you nor your ancestors have known.65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting placefor the sole of your
foot. There theLordwill give you an anxious mind, eyesweary with longing, and
a despairing heart.66 You will live in
constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.67 In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the
evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your
hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.68 TheLordwill send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you
should never make again.There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male
and female slaves, but no one will buy you.
Do you know who the Veterans of the Bible are, those who have
fought the good fight? Realize this, we as Christians, alive today, are on that
same battlefield! We are up against the very same enemy, EVIL!
We celebrate and remember all who went before us, those who
sacrificed, those who achieved kingdom victory, regardless of earthly, temporal
cost, as we step out, in faith, against the enemy. The prize and the bounty
here is much greater! Freedom in Christ, Eternal Life and Gods Reigning
Dominion. Fear not what Man can do to you BUT what the Living God can do! Matthew
10:28
There are so many valiant men & women of Biblical history, for
instance, Deborah, Esther, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, to name a few… then we have,
David, Joseph, Moses, Noah, Paul, Samson. A great cloud of witnesses
who have gone before us!
One small bit of encouragement that should help, is in knowing we
are so blessed, according to the word, those of us who BELIEVE upon Jesus,
having never knew him in John 20:29 His earthly flesh! His word says that we are extra
blessed for that fact! We are predisposed to incredible faith just in the
act of receiving the knowledge of "He was, He is and He always Shall
be!"
Our Holy Triune, Omniscient Lord God! Thank you Jesus, our
commander in Chief, who has walked where we have walked. Able to guide, cloak,
equip and fortify us, as needed. Where ever we may be in His schematic, our
part is just as important. We may never be called upon to such great a degree
as these Mighty Men and Women of God, or we might be called upon for even
Greater things to come! \o/ see-->John 14:12
Be thankful everyday and today, this day...give thanks for those
who have fought for these same freedoms, right here where we live, on American
God fearing soil!
God Bless America and God Bless Every Christian
Soldier! God Bless our United States Veterans!
PRESS ON AND FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
