Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. Ephesians 1:3-4.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Once you receive Jesus as your Lord and believe in your heart that I raised Him from the dead with all your sins gone and you are justified before Me wonderful things (wonders) have taken place inside you though on the outside, except for your radiant face, nothing looks different. But everything is new.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Being born again from above by the imperishable seed of My Word puts you under an open Heaven.
Then God said, “Behold, I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people among whom you live will see the working of the LORD, for it is an awesome thing that I am going to perform with you.” Exodus 34:10
Before Jesus died and rose, you were stuck in your sins and Heaven was closed to you but I have found the ransom.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
And now you are connected to the Heavenly Kingdom and the benefits that are there. That is why I tell you that I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in heavenly realms in Christ. The Kingdom is NOW your source of supply.
NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence (title deed) of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1.
Your citizenship is in Heaven now so that is where your rights and benefits are established justly and that is where they are obtained and received.
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16.
The flood gates of Heaven are open now and grace is pouring out, which is My divine supply. My divine life, My thoughts, My wisdom, are available to you, for Jesus is the living way to Me and has opened up a highway of communication and supply.
You are connected to Me now intimately and that connection is through Jesus so that you are not just a citizen but My child and a joint heir with the first born Son, who is Jesus. You have the double portion, grace upon grace, of an unending source of eternal supply that will be yours forever. To know Me and Jesus is eternal life. If you know Me, which you can, and Jesus, which you can, you can open up that flow of grace upon grace in your life NOW.
Knowing and walking in the joy of My love is knowing in Christ what is yours NOW. You must stop begging and searching for what you already have as if you do not have it already. I have already blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Heaven, it is yours if you will just receive it.
But most people do not know how to receive because they have not connected and expected.
How do you connect with Me? You get linked in by renewing your mind with the truth of who you are in Christ and you do that by knowing what I have done for you in Christ, because Jesus shows you who I am in action upon the earth as one like you.
And what do you learn from Jesus? You learn of My care, My love, and what My Will is for your life. My Will is that all people be saved and come to know the truth. I will that all be healed, whole, and prospering. I will that everyone have more than enough to take care of their needs and the needs of others.
So let us go back to learn how to renew your mind in My Word so you think like I do and live a life like Jesus, because His life is how every believers life should look: You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38.
If you are seeking a life filled with good and precious days no matter what is going on in the world around you, then you do not have to seek too far for My Word is near you, even in your heart and in your mouth, and when you believe it in your heart, speak it with your mouth, and do it with your actions, it will cause amazing results that will edify, encourage, and exhort you and give you a calm, peaceful, visionary, and perfect mind. Nothing will be able to move you from the solid rock of My Word once you have renewed your mind and know Me. Once you are fully persuaded because you are walking with Me and know the joy of My presence. And you will know beyond a doubt that no weapon formed against you can prosper. Great peace—double shalom, have those whose minds are stayed on Me, and I express Myself to you in My Word, for I am your everlasting rock.
“His mouth is full of sweetness. And he is altogether lovely and delightful. This is my Beloved and this is my Friend.” Song of Songs 5:16.
When you find out you are My favorite you will never have an anxious moment again. And I have shown each one of you that in Jesus. Great peace have those who love My law. And My Words are all laws, making up the one prefect law of liberty. When you know who I am, who you are, and what I have freely given you in Christ, and how My Word works, that is, you know My ways, your life becomes wonderful, amazing, and excellent.
“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.” Daniel 6:3.
What does it mean to renew your mind? Let Jesus, My Word incarnate, describe it for you:
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32.
Yes, when you abide in, remain in, continue in, don’t budge off, and keep rooted and grounded in My Word, you will know the truth about everything in the world and in Me. Yes, if you go deep enough into My Word you will know everything you need for life and godliness. You will develop a hearing heart that is sensitive to My voice. You can hear from Me any time you ask. And I will tell you great and mighty things you could not know. All there if you just want to step aside and fellowship with Me.
Jesus gave you the instruction, attach to Him like a branch to a vine and draw up all you need from deep within Him. And you attach by making My Word the way you think, speak, and believe. And My Word, the more you pour into your heart, will cleanse you by flushing out all the evil, the fear, the shame, the guilt, and any other negative and tormenting thoughts that have oppressed you. Be eager for the milk, meat and honey of My Words and grow thereby.
My Words are not idle words but are your very life. They are your lifelines. They heal you and save you, deliver you and provide for you. If you get hold of My Words they are better than heaps of fine gold and sweeter than honey dripping from the comb. They are like healing balm to an agitated mind.
Why then do you get so upset about things when you have Me? There is nothing I cannot fix for you, but you have to know how I create and fix things for you. By My Word. I send MY WORD to heal you and deliver you from your destructions. Psalm 107:20. There is no other way I do it. And as I told Joshua, you have a part in the manifestation of it as well.
This is My Covenant with you, My Spirit which is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring from now and forever. Isaiah 59:21. My Covenant is the instrument of salvation, uniting two who were separate into one so that all each has is the others. By giving you My Spirit and My Word, I give you Myself and all I have, I give you My power and My life, and the life is in the Word. 1 John 1:1. I give life to the dead and call into being that which does not exist by My Word. Romans 4:17.
The promise and the POWER is in My Word. Just as the plant is in the seed. But a seed sitting on your table or on a concrete path does nothing, though it has the plan (promise) to produce in it and that power in it to produce can be released. So how do you manifest what is in that seed into your world? The power in the seed to produce the plant it contains is set in action by planting it and cultivating it until the plant manifests and yields a harvest of its own kind. And it will grow and the plant will manifest if you plant and cultivate it, there is no question about that. And that was the first parable My Son told. And He said if you do not understand that parable, you will not understand how the Kingdom works.
In the same way, My Word has the life, the plan, and the power to produce in it, but if you do not plant it in your heart and let it grow to fruition by cultivation, it will not manifest. This is what I call meditating on My Word day and night. A farmer is not off the job of watching over the seed day or night if he wants to the seed to give a great harvest. And the more seed he plants and grows the bigger the harvest becomes.
I also liken My Words to food that you eat. Jesus told you that man does not live on physical food alone but by every Word that comes from My mouth. Jeremiah said that when My Words were found he devoured them and they became the passion and joy of his heart. Job said that the ear tastes words as the tongue tastes food. Now, consider food. What you eat, ingest, and digest becomes your own flesh. You can tell what people eat by looking at them, so obviously though it comes in as a substance that is not them it soon is incorporated into their bodies and becomes them. You know when a person eats too much or too little, and you can tell by their muscular tone whether it is living, healthy food or artificial junk food. There is a difference. And when a person abuses their body by eating all the wrong food the body gets ailments that the doctor keeps telling them could be healed if they just stopped eating what they are eating. I gave My people detailed directions on what to eat for their health and energy.
But aside from that, you can tell what a person is thinking upon in the heart and speaking (for you eat your words, the fruit of your lips) just by their countenance, body posture, and finally by their very appearance. People who are angry, bitter, and harbor vengeful thoughts become elderly and misshapen. Fearful people and depressed people dry up their bones. Wicked people cut their lives short. Your thoughts and words manifest in your physical appearance and your health. If you are not attached to the vine of the grace that is in Jesus, My Word, you wither up and become as the living dead who have no hope but only live to survive.
Do you see what I am telling you? You must use My Word as seed and food. It is life to those who find it and health to all their flesh. Be careful what you focus on, what you hear, what you dwell on, what you read, and what you speak. What you focus on you will become, so stop meditating on people who have abused you. That is the wrong focus.
Over the years I have instructed you many times and in varied ways about how to renew your mind. The more diligence you give to this, the sweeter and more powerful your life will be. Renewing your mind makes your soul prosper by walking in the truth and then you have good health and prosperity.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:2-4.
So your level of health and prosperity is entirely in your control and it depends on if you are feeding on My Word or rejecting it or just ignoring it. It depends on the thoughts of your mind.
Now let us consider one of the most powerful of believers, Joshua, and how clearly he heard from Me and let us consider how he renewed his mind. For he did with all his heart as I instructed him and to him it was a joy. Ever since he was a young man he was looking to know Me. So much so, he humbled himself to be the servant of Moses and, serving Moses, was included on the Mount Sinai when I visited with Moses and revealed My Word and thoughts to Moses face to face as one does with a friend. And as I told Moses the history of creation and salvation Joshua stayed all day in the meeting tent and wrote down as the scribe for Moses the words I had told Moses.
Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent. Exodus 33:11.
Joshua got to know Me by My Word, My conversations with Moses, and when Moses departed from this world, Joshua stepped up and talked with Me. He was fully persuaded that all I would say or do would come to pass.
And here is what I instructed Joshua so that in conquering the promised land and leading a nation of well over two million people he would have peace, joy, and be more than a conqueror.
Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:7-9.
Solomon knew this instruction as well. And he wanted to make his way prosperous and successful in ruling My people. So with the spirit of wisdom and revelation that I gave him when he asked Me for such, he tells you how to meditate on My Word day and night, for that is the key to the prosperous soul.
When I tell you to meditate on My Word, I am telling you to plant and grow My Word in your heart and to eat it as food by the words of your mouth in agreement with the Word I plant in your heart.
And I will now share with you what I revealed by My Spirit of Wisdom to Solomon so that you too may practice Biblical meditation so that My Word can turn everything around for you and make your way prosperous and successful in all that you do like it did for Joshua and so many others.
In fact, it is so key to all good that it is the very first Psalm in the Book of Psalms.
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:1-3.
I give you all the directions you need to do this in many places in My Word. So track down the treasure. But today, let Me take you to what I taught Solomon that made him so successful. We begin in the fourth chapter of Proverbs. I will go line by line, precept upon precept, until you can reach full maturity so you can accurately handle the Word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15. There are five steps, the number of grace, and you cannot leave any of them out or you will not fully grow the seed to harvest so the fruit comes in your life and you will not digest the Word you are eating so it manifests in your body and life.
Focus
Proverbs 4:20 begins: “My son, give attention to My Words.” The first step is to focus on My Word not your problem. What I mean by that is you must find Scriptures that address what you are facing and give you the outcome you desire. And you will find them for I have put them there for you. I send My Word to heal you and deliver you from your destructions, and I have a Word there that may have been originally delivered by, for, or to another person or situation but it will be exactly what you are going through and the Word that you need as the anchor for your soul. If you know My Word well from reading it and hearing it, My Spirit in you can remind you of it and it will rise up in your heart just when you need it. If you are not used to spending time in My Word, however, you may have to search the Scriptures using the internet for key words on Bible websites or finding lists of Scriptures for particular situations or ailments that others have complied. A good place to look is the book of Psalms. These address many of the troubles and ills you may be facing and come out with victory by declaring My Name and power to save, heal and deliver. The book of the prophet Isaiah has a wealth of these treasures. Especially in Chapters 51 through 58. And once you have found your promises, then you must exclude focusing on the fear and focus on the Word you have found. Stop looking at your symptoms and look at My Word that will heal you and deliver you. When you do that, you are opening up your heart to receive the seed of that Word that will produce the result you want and you are beginning to eat from the banquet table I set before you in the sight of your enemies (demonic and otherwise). You are starting to taste the goodness of My Word, sweeter than honey dripping from the cone, and like Jeremiah, you will begin to devour it. The worse your situation, the more you need to eat the Words that resolve it. My Word is medicine to all your flesh.
Hear
The next line of Proverbs 4:20 is “Incline your ear to my sayings.” Faith comes by hearing and hearing My Word. Romans 10:17. That is the only way faith comes, not by asking Me for it but by hearing and hearing My Word. My Son told you to be careful what you hear for if it contrary to My Word, it will plant in you and choke out My Word. You should read Scriptures aloud so you hear them and plant them more deeply in your heart. Many only read the Scripture by their eyes but you need to say it out loud. In the book of Revelation I tell you, “Blessed is one who reads aloud and those who hear the Words of the prophecy and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.” Revelation 1:3. Also listen to the Scripture on an audio reading of the Bible and to anointed preaching and teaching on the subject of My Word and various aspects of it such as healing or deliverance. My apostle Paul explains Scripture in ways you may not find on your own, so read his prayers for you and his revelations, but he also tells you, “How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14. I will guide you to anointed preachers and teachers who will be addressing just what you need and build you up to maturity in the Body of Christ so you can stand on the Word. But you need to be seeking to find, so do not turn on secular movies, news, and shows that do nothing but feed you godless chatter. Another good way to hear is to pray and sing in tongues and ask Me to give you understanding of what the Spirit is speaking in you.
Read and write
The next step is Proverbs 4:21, “Do not let them depart from your sight.” Here is the counterpart to hearing, you also have to be reading and writing what I tell you down, this will write it on the tablet of your heart and let you go back to reinforce the Word each time you start to slide into fear again. I told the Israelites to write My Words on the doorposts of their houses and on their wrists and to hang them before their eyes. In other words, make a list of the Scriptures you are planting, growing, and eating and set them where you can see them, especially in places where you tend to let your mind just wander wherever it wants. I told My prophet Habakkuk to write the vision down so those who read it can run with it. When you find a Word that I give you and focus on it, listen to it aloud, then I will begin to speak to you through that Word and tell you what to do or how it will turn out. You need to write that down in your tablet or journal. When I told Moses the Ten Commandments, I wrote them for him, but the first five books of the Bible I infused in his heart and mind and showed him visions, but he and Joshua wrote them down. David told you that the complete plans for the temple that Solomon built came to him in prayer with Me when he began writing them down. Get your Scripture and then just pull up a chair close to Me and let Me speak to your heart and write down what I tell you. Things of the Spirit are hard to recall later in the flesh unless you write them down immediately when you hear them in your heart. And I will talk to you if you will open your heart to Me. I stand knocking at your door and if you let Me in, I will sit down and dine with you. And that is another topic in itself, the Holy Communion which will skyrocket you to health, healing, cleansing, and eternal life. And with it too is a journey of meditation, “Do this in remembrance of Me.”
Ponder
The next line is, “Keep them in the midst of your heart.” This is the heart of meditation. Here, as you ponder My Word that you have heard, read, and written down, it becomes your vision of the future. You make a mental picture of your new vision from My Words that replaces the vision of defeat and death, captivity, abuse, infirmity, sorrow, incapacity, loss, lack, rebellious children, and broken relationships with the promise of healing, joy, peace, prosperity, long life, renewed youth, deliverance, good relationships, established prosperous children, and victory. I tell you that Mary, the mother of Jesus in the flesh, treasured and pondered My Word in her heart.
Speak
Here I will jump to lines 23 and 24 and come back to line 22 as the conclusion. Proverbs 4:23-24 directs, “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth and put devious speech far from you.” The mouth speaks from the abundance of your heart and the things you say will come to pass. By your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned. Even though it was contrary to My promise to them, I gave the Israelites I redeemed out of Egypt what they said that was stout against My Words for they kept declaring their way over Mine. And they really did not want to wander in the desert for forty years and miss all the wonderful things I had for them in the Promised Land, but they got what they insisted on saying. Do you understand? Do not speak what you do not want in the face of what I have promised you. Agree with My Word and you can have it. I watch over My Word to perform it. Jesus is the High Priest of your confession (which is the word “homologia” in the Greek it was first written in and it means to be in complete agreement with My Words out of your mouth). Life and death are in the power of your tongue. The spirit of faith speaks, My preacher Paul wrote, “But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed; therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak.” 2 Corinthians 4:13. My Son (who is the Word) told you that YOU have to speak to the mountain to get it cast out of your way, to level it to a plain, to cast it in the sea. Mark 11:22-24. When the disciples asked Him to increase their faith, He told them to start speaking to things that they did not want in their way. You have to speak to whatever is ailing or attacking your body and cast that out and then you have to speak the healing Scriptures to make the healing and restoration to perfect health that you want grow in and feed your flesh until it conforms to My Word that created it. All creation recognizes My Word and moves to it. Paul wrote about salvation: “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” Romans 10:8-10. Do you see? You believe My Word in your heart and that results in establishing you in righteousness far from oppression. Isaiah 54:14-15. And you must speak it with you mouth and that results in salvation in every situation over which you are confessing My Word. And the word salvation there in the original Greek does not just mean going to Heaven and having eternal life, though that is the greatest part, but it also means healing, wholeness, provision, deliverance, rescue and help in time of trouble. You have to call things in that you want and rebuke and cancel the things you do not want. And do it all by faith, which means finding the Word that addresses it and knowing whatever I have promised you is “yes” to you in Christ Jesus. Say “amen” to that.
And finally, when you do these things with diligence, for this is a matter of your very life, here is the result of what My Words do in you as set forth in Proverbs 4:22 (a menorah verse in Hebrew): “For they [My Words] are life to those who find them and health to all their body (“flesh” in Hebrew).
Let Me also add that in meditating on My Word you should not be bringing in the distractions of life in your thoughts, such as worry and anxiety about your problem. Worry is actually meditating on your problem instead of My Word and that plants fear in your heart and you are eating depression by the mouthful. When the worry comes, laugh at it, though you don’t feel like it, set your heart to ignore by overcoming it by speaking My Word aloud, and tell it that by the stripes of Jesus you are healed so that cannot stay or that no weapon formed against you can prosper, or whatever other promise from My Word that you are growing. And, as Job stated, without realizing he was stating the root of his problem, “what I feared came on me.” So you must be determined that you are going to shut out the worry by focusing on what My Word says about the situation.
Find the Scripture that has the promise you want to solve your problem that particularly speaks to you. For example, if you are being subject to a lawsuit or some kind of persecution at your job or in your family, find Isaiah 54:17, that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue raised against you in accusation, you will prove false, for your righteousness and vindication are from Me. Or Scriptures about Me as your deliverer, your helper, your rear guard, and always giving you the victory in Christ Jesus. Consider meditating on Philippians 1:19-20 or Romans 8:33.
If you are sick or have pain in your body, go to Exodus, Isaiah, the Psalms, Proverbs, the Prophets, the Gospels, the Letters of Paul, James, Peter, John, and Jude and get My promises on healing. There are many of them. I tell you I AM the LORD who heals you. I tell you that My Son bore your sickness, your infirmities, your sins, and your pains. It tell you that His stripes (bloody scourging) you were healed, I tell you that I forgive all your sins and heal all your ills. I tell you a lot about health for your bones, your navel, your kidneys and all your inmost parts. I even have Words about your teeth, your hair, your fingers, and your back! Find them like treasure and focus your attention on them instead of on the ailment and let the ailment know it has to go. For I send My Word to heal you. It does good like a medicine. And you cannot overdose and all the side effects are very good.
I encourage you to not be lazy about this. It is a matter of life or death, of the blessing or the curse, of My Will in your life or that of Satan.
But do not think of this as a burdensome, long drawn out process. It will make your yoke easy and your burden light and give rest to your weary, worried souls. It will give you joy and hope in what would be an otherwise hopeless situation. It will make you more than a conqueror, ready to tread right over Satan with the truth of My Word and to take the territory wherever you set your fee. Joshua 1:3.
If I should say, “My foot has slipped,” Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up. When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. Psalm 94:18-19.
Like Abraham believing Me for a child at an old age with Sarah barren for years. When he became fully persuaded by seeing My Words to him constantly prosper and bless him, he then had the faith and trust not to try his own means to bring the promise about but fully lean on Me for the impossible.
And this process can take place in a matter of minutes with all five steps functioning at the same time when you are familiar with My Word. If you spend time with Me each day reading and getting revelation from Me about My Word and are aware of My presence (for I am in you and with you always), My Spirit in you speaks the right Scripture to you to counter what has come against you and if you will open up your Bible right away and take that as your own and take comfort in it as I minister to you by My Word and revive you from your fear and the hit you received, then what I prophesied to you in My Word will come to pass, “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “When the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; when the mountains will drip sweet wine and all the hills will be dissolved.” Amos 9:13. And My Son said the same, “Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.” John 4:36. The harvest comes in before you have even plowed the ground and the grapes are ripe as you sow the seed. Let this become your way of living the abundant life that is life indeed. The power is in the Word, do not be looking anywhere else.
I love you. I am My Word. And so is Jesus. And I was in Him reconciling the world to Myself, not counting your sins against you. He made a new and everlasting Covenant with Me and in Him you come in Covenant with Me too. And the Covenant is My instrument of salvation for mankind, raising you up to unite with Me and making all I have yours. But how do I give everything to you? In My Word. I send My Word to heal you and deliver you from all destructions, but you must receive it, plant it, cultivate it, grow it, until the full-blown promise produces its fruit in your life. And you must not just taste My Word now and then, you must take it in, devour it, digest it, and until it becomes your very flesh and bone. Have the honor and privilege of putting My Word to work in you. If you do this for every trial, fiery dart of Satan, sickness, loss, or defeat, you will not fear anything for you will always know you have the solution, the answer, the skill, and the seed and the food you need to succeed and cancel his doubts, lies, and fears out with a glorious shout!
