The Lord said that 2015 was a year to decree a thing according to His will so for my family I decree the following scriptures “We are the lenders and not the borrowers….we are the head and not the tail……the devourer has been rebuked, cut off and stopped” (Deut 28:12-13, Mal 3:11)
Of course these blessings are tied to the position of obedience as it states in Deut 28; And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. And Malachi 3:11 is tied too: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts.
Sadly many today want the blessing yet they run from the sacrifice of obedience. Yet when one totally surrenders to the leading of Holy Spirit after a while obedience is not a burden rather it becomes natural as the spirit man is built up to rule over the flesh. It almost become second nature. But don’t get me wrong once you have one victory over one area, Holy Spirit will keep you humble as He points out yet another area of the flesh which is rebellion.
The good news is that God the Father is filled with mercy and grace, as we trip and fall He pours His mercy out on us and backs it up with His grace to empower us to get up and move forward. It is the position of surrender for which He looks for, a condition of the heart, rather than the outward signs of obedience which are done yet with a bitter heart.
So don’t think that His blessings are withheld or taken away for a slip up for they are not. But they are withheld from those who have a selfish heart seeking what they may gain with no love or reverence for the Giver.
It is like the child who is rewarded even though they didn’t get and A or maybe not even a B, for the parent saw that they gave it their best. With that reward the good parent continues to encourage the child to try a do better next time.
With that being said let us rejoice in our God, for even as the better parent, our loving God will give the child as many resources as necessary to help them in their struggle to reach the finish line. And surrender Him all praise, glory and honor for God the Father has given us the best in His Son and in Holy Ghost.
When thou didst say “Seek My Face,’….Thy face, O Lord I will seek” (Psalm 27:8, NASB).
God wants us to enter into a new relation with Him. Not just like a little child, full of requests for things from his father, but as a mature son or daughter who knows the Father, is in tune with the Fathers will, begins to think and act like the Father, and can take responsibility in the Fathers kingdom.
So dear brothers and sisters as I started this post out I mentioned that entering this year I kept hearing the Lord say “This is a new season, a season of decrees happening quickly, a year of My suddenlies falling like a heavy rain”
It’s really not that hard – study the Word of God, spend time in prayer with Him, ask Holy Spirit to show you how to gain a deeper and closer relationship with the Father then start decreeing according to His will and purpose. In closing I want toi decree a few more things over my family as an example for you:
I decree for my house (my wife, son and myself )a new season of closeness to God the Father, a year of greater and deeper revelations, a years of being in-tune with the Fathers divine purpose and Will for us on a daily basis. I decree that this shall be a year of expansion, enlarging our area of Kingdom influence to the glory of our God.
I decree 2015 to be a year where we see 100 fold expansion of souls coming into the Kingdom by our spreading the message of the Kingdom of God with unadulterated purity, bowing not to the fear of man rather with Holy reverence to our God.
I decree this to be a year where besetting sins are defeated and His Righteous Holiness shadows our lives day and night like a tight fit coat.
I decree and call forth as the Father has shown me in the Spirit that this shall be a year of expansion financially to meet those needs according to His purpose. I decree a year of greater discernment to see the enemy plans before hand and Heavenly wisdom to cut the enemy plans short.
Brothers & sisters, we will reap based upon what we sow…..Please keep in mind that our words have power and they are likened to spiritual seeds. What are you planting for this New Year will be the harvest you shall reap.
I was sharing with my sister Roxanne the other day about the power of praying forth the Scriptures for Gods Words contain power. Do you recall Elijah praying for the heavens to close up and the rain to cease and the rains stopped?
Now Elijah the Tishbite was a prophet from the settlers in Gilead. “I serve the Lord, the God of Israel,” Elijah said to Ahab. “As surely as the Lord lives, no rain or dew will fall during the next few years unless I command it.” (i Kings 17:1)
Now Elijah was praying for the Word of God found in Deut chapter 11 which reads; “And then the Lord‘s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain…” (Deut 11:17).
So again friends, there is power in Gods Word and when we combine it with our prayers miracles, signs and wonders begin to happen around us. We can sow the promises of Gods Word into our lives!!!
What are you going to plant this year friends……… I challenge each of you to Decree a thing according to the Will of the Father with unwavering faith and watch as the miracles, signs and wonders of Heaven appear around you as a witness to your walking according to the Fathers heart’s desire…..
