READ:
ISAIAH 44:24-28; 57:19
God is the
High and lifted One who dwells with those who have broken and contrite spirits.
It's amazing that as great as God is, he can be committed to finite man. 1
Samuel 3:19 says: “So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none
of his words fall to the ground.” This verse tells us that one can grow
so close to God that God will personally back his words and make them powerful.
Age does not matter. Samuel was a young child, yet God honoured him.
The prophet Elijah also ruled by decree. He was displeased with the state of affairs in Samaria and prophesied no rain for three and a half years. He said: “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew no rain these years, except at my word.” As soon as he pronounced it, God backed up the words and the heavens obeyed.
Throughout the ages, God has always supported his servants. Daniel 11:32 states: “But the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” Your words too can become powerful. Jesus says that his words are spirit and life. Job says you shall decree a thing with your mouth and God will cause it to materialise. This exalted position belongs only to those who can pay the price. You have to be genuinely saved. You have to begin to search for God, to desire to know him. The extent to which you know God, determines your power of control over life's situations and circumstances. The knowledge of God strengthens you wonderfully.
You must be completely committed to doing God's will, any time, anywhere, anyhow he wants it. You must become a bond servant to Jesus Christ. The more you are enslaved to him, the more people, situations and things will submit themselves to you. Also, become like the Good Shepherd himself. Thereafter, start out by issuing decrees based on God's will and backed up by God's Word. Start with minor situations and grow from there. Let each decree be with expectation of its performance. Before you know it, your words too will come alive. Start now.

MEMORIZE:
JOB 22:28 -You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you;
so light will shine on your ways.
