For you have made the LORD, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent. Psalm 91:9-10.
And the Words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. Psalm 12:6.
As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. Psalm 18:30.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
When you are in My dwelling, the dwelling of the Most High, there is nothing that can come up that high to harm you. This is a secure place to be, and most beautiful of all places, so how do you make Me your dwelling place? By faith in My Word. By building your life on the solid rock foundation of My Word and never budging off it to the right or the left. Joshua 1:7-8. By taking your stand on My Word as your sure fortress and refuge, not only as defense but also for fighting the battles of life and always having the victory.
Whatever I say, it will be that way, IF you will enforce it on earth by decreeing it in your life. I watch over My Word to perform it but I have given you rule over the works of My hands. My Word is perfect, flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. Psalm 12:6; Psalm 18:30. And so will your life be if you live by My Word. My Words are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. If you can control your words, you can control your entire body, and I mean in every way.
You can rely on My Word. Whatever you are facing whatever the circumstances, find My Word on it and take that promise as your own (it is yours in Christ Jesus) and write it on the tablet of your heart, speak it, decree it, and proclaim it until you have your attention fixed on it as a light in a dark place until the daystar rises in your heart and the sun of righteousness dawns to fullness of day with healing in His wings.
My Son told Thomas not to be unbelieving but believing. John 20:27. Blessed are they who do not see but believe based on My Word. John 20:29. And My Son would tell those who came to Him, “Do not fear, only believe!” No matter what you feel about the situation you are in, find the Word and stand on that Word. Live by faith, not by sight. What is seen (flesh realm) is temporal and subject to change, but what is unseen (spirit realm) is eternal and never changes. I am the same yesterday, today and forever. And in your spirit, so are you. Unshakeable.
Once you find My Word in Scripture that pertains to the circumstance you are facing, you can have it, just don’t back down or retreat. Understand that the devil, like the parable of the sower My Son told as the first and most important of His parables, is after the seed of My Word that has entered your heart. He knows that if it grows and takes good root, you will win every time. He has lost his ability to snare you, to steal, to kill and to destroy your life. In Me, when you are dwelling in Me, the evil one cannot touch you. And Jesus told you that you abide in Me by abiding in My Word and letting My Word abide in you.
To see My promises manifest in your life, however, as with anything you desire to have, you must look at what you need to do to qualify to claim them as yours. First, you must receive Jesus as your LORD for My promises to all be “yes” to you, for He is the one who redeems you from the curse. You see, My promises are for the righteous and not for the wicked. So to be righteous with My righteousness, which is the highest righteousness without a trace of unrighteousness in it, you must accept Jesus as your Lord, if you do not then you will die in your own sins. He has taken all sins away from you but you must lay hold of that by believing in your heart I raised Him from the dead and declaring with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. That was all Caleb and Joshua needed to do to qualify for conquering the Promised Land, believe My Word and declare it, and then the skill and strength came with those initial words of agreement with Mine.
Now in Jesus I have qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. That is, the Kingdom and all there is in it. You have forgiveness for all your sins, eternal life, healing, provision, deliverance, and protection. But you still have a part in accessing all these wonderful treasures in your heavenly account where no thief can break in and steal or any moth or rust corrode.
For example to have covenant tither’s rights, you have to tithe. It is then I can open the windows of heaven and poor out a blessing you cannot hold alone. It is then I can rebuke the devourer and destroyer from taking your things and livelihood. And it is when you give offerings above the tithe that I can multiply back to you a hundred-fold and even a thousand-fold blessing. It is in giving that you receive. No other way.
And to receive every blessing in Heaven, you must be in Jesus. For Him to be wisdom to you, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption you must be sealed in Him. Which I do for you the moment you believe in the Gospel. And what do you do to establish that? Confess Him as Lord and believe in your heart I raised Him from the dead, thus justifying and glorifying you with Him.
And how do I tell you to see good days and life a long satisfying life? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies, seek peace and pursue it.
And My Son gave you His peace but He told you that your part was to not let your heart be troubled, to not let it be afraid. And how do you do that? By faith. And faith comes by hearing and hearing My Word on the subject that is causing you fear, whether it be finances, healing, or triumphing over your enemies (whether it be a court battle or accusations or anything else, just read Psalm 35).
If you want to move a mountain, I tell you that you have to speak to it to move, not to tell Me to move it, I gave you My Words and My resurrection power in you by My Spirit. If you want to stop a storm, I tell you that you have to rebuke it and stop it in its tracks, it is you who have dominion authority on earth and only you who can release Me to go to work. Like Moses had to raise his staff before My power could flow through his hand to part the sea. If you want to stop the activity of Satan and his demons, I tell YOU to cast him out in the Name of My Son. If you want someone sick to recover, I tell you to lay hands on them and they will recover, for as you pray the prayer of faith, it will raise the sick. If you want to receive good things from Me, I tell you to ask believing you already received a “yes” from Me and you thank Me and await with confidence for the splendid result to manifest. But I tell you to have faith in Me, and to use My faith, to do it. So make sure what you are asking is in My Word for that is all you can speak with confident faith. I never answer a prayer to hurt someone—to make them be at peace with you or to protect and deliver you from them is a better prayer. You can also ask Me to fight them for you, like I did for Jehoshaphat and Moses. But they went out to work it out in the world with Me.
If you want your prayers to be effective, I tell you that when you stand to pray you must forgive and let go of any unforgiveness you have against another. That may be one reason things aren’t coming in as fast as you would like. Up to you.
Are you getting the idea? Do not be unaware of spiritual laws and how they work. They are just as real as physical laws and you cannot violate physical laws and have a good result. You all know that and do not think it is because I do not love you if you jump out a window and get hurt. Jesus refused to jump off the parapet of the temple just to prove I took care of Him. That would have been foolish. I made the world through Him and we set up the law of gravity, which very beneficial to keeping things in place. You just have to know how to function in it, and also how it works so you can use it for lift and thrust to fly an airplane.
If you believe it and enforce it, all things work together for the good of those who love Me and are called for the purpose. No weapon formed against you will prosper. That is a promise for your righteousness is from Me. Take it.
I cleanse you of all sins when you come to Me through Jesus, but now you must renew your mind to My Word and My Ways to function well in the Kingdom while still in this world where the curse is still active. Train your heart in My Word, cleanse your heart in My Word. Your life is the Word. I vindicate My servants.
Paul, Peter, and James all called themselves My servants though they were born again children, but there is a difference between the child who serves and the one who rebels. One eats the best of the land and the other does not. Not because I do not love you all but because there are spiritual laws that you cannot violate and have the right result.
So you may ask, “How do I qualify as a servant of the LORD?” The one to whom I will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant, come share your Master’s joy!” And give you the rule over cities and nations.
The answer is really quite simple but opens an entire life style, it is what Mary, the precious mother of My Son in the flesh, told you all: “Do whatever He tells you.” That was her life. And she lived an amazingly wonderful life. No one else has ever been as close as she was and is to Jesus. And what did she say to the impossible Word she heard when she knew no man? “Behold, the servant of the Lord, be it done to me according to Your Word.” And what is My Word to you today? Forgiveness, healing, prosperity, good relationships, good things, and renewed youth. Psalm 103:2-5. My plans for you are for shalom and not evil, to give you a future and a hope. My plans are to BLESS you and deliver you from all harm. Can you say, “Let it be one done to me according to Your Word” to that? My commandments are not burdensome. They are about love. And love gives you joy all the day.
You are members of the Body of My Son on earth. And the body serves the head in that your body members do only what your head tells them to do. Learn to follow My directions for My Word is a light to your path and a lamp to your feet. And My Words give you life and health. I know you want that.
A good servant follows directions diligently with excellence. A good servant is motivated by loyalty and respectful honor for the master. A good servant does not slack off and abuse his fellow servants when he thinks the master is not watching. Nor does he embezzle and steal from his master.
A good servant is like the servant of Abraham. He went on the mission to get a bride for Isaac and he did exactly as Abraham asked of him, but he did it with excellence and with prayer. He asked Me to make his trip successful and he asked Me to give him signs that he had found the right one. And I did. He completed all his assignment and took no detours, nor did he take any of his master’s treasures though he had much treasure entrusted to him to take to the bride. He was a good and faith-filled servant who carried out his master’s interests and not his own. And he was delighted when it worked out as Abraham desired.
And I have made you each more than a servant to Me, I have made you My child, My bride, and a member of My Son’s body. And I call you friends for I have made My Word known to you and given My Words to you to use as your own. But you all know there are children and wives who serve and those who do not. There are those who are generous and those who are not. There are givers and takers, believers and doubters, and there are those who have open hearts and those who have hard hearts, even among My children.
But I give you the grace to be one who serves, just as Jesus was and is. He is forever a servant to you but He is all powerful in that. I give you the grace to do the work I give you to do with excellence and skill by My Holy Spirit. Like Bezalel and Oholiab in whom I put My skill by My Spirit. Like David whom My Spirit rushed upon and never left. Like Paul to whom I sent Ananias so that Paul could be filled with My Spirit. Like Mary, whom My Spirit hovered over and she became the mother of My Son. All of them were hovered over by My Spirit just as it was when I created the heavens and the earth. Daniel too had an excellent spirit that even pagan kings discerned, as did Pharaoh with Joseph. They all noticed they had My Spirit on them. And you all have one and the same Spirit in you and on you. And you all have the same spirit of faith. And having that spirit of faith, you believe and so you speak.
Do you? Are you speaking My Words or your words? Or worse yet, are you speaking the devil’s lies? Be careful how you live, redeeming the time. By your words you are declared righteous and by your words you are condemned. Put your words to work for you and stop saying foolish things that cause you hardship, pain, and defeat.
Find the Word you need at the moment and put your roots down into it. Tap roots look for the underground living water. Oaks of righteousness planted in My house look for the Words of the Spirit. And My Words are spirit and life, they are the Words of eternal life.
Why would you want to call in anything else?
I love you. Let the Holy Spirit take hold of your tongue and guide you to all truth. Do not grieve Him with idle, obscene, bitter, proud talk, or even just grumbling and complaining, all that is out of place for a good and faithful servant.
