Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Job 22:28 (AMP)
“You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.
As believers we get to decree the Word in faith and then see what we say be established. As we decree things in prayer according to the Word, grace and favor is released over our ways, and then, because of grace and favor, things are established.
Jeremiah 1:12 (AMPC) says, “I (the Lord) am alert and active, watching over My word to perform (and establish) it.” - Jesus watches over His Word to bring it to pass.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 says, “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts AND ESTABLISH YOU IN EVERY GOOD WORD and work.”
As we speak the ‘good Word’ of the Lord in prayer, our words establish our lives, our circumstances and our environment.
Psalm 119:38 says, “Establish Your Word to Your servant, who is devoted to reverently worshipping You.”
Learn how to establish things on your knees… be active in your faith and begin to call those things which are not as though they were according to the Word. Too many believers spend way too little time on their knees and way too much time trying to make things happen, trying to convince people and trying to bring things to pass in their own strength.
When it comes to circumstances, finances, your health, or your relationships, establish and bring what you desire (according to the Word) to pass through the prayer of faith!
I have spent countless hours believing, working and doing whatever I can to accomplish some things that I know to be God’s will, to no avail… then, when all has been done in my ability, I pray a simple prayer by grace through faith, and then, what I unsuccessfully tried to establish gets established supernaturally by the Lord. Now, I pray first, I speak the Word first, and then I do what the Spirit leads me to do… I have learned that the New Covenant way is to establish things on my knees!
Go before the Lord in prayer and then speak the Word, declare His promises and decree by faith… as you do, He will watch over His Word to establish it, and He will bring it to pass!
Blessings on you, Nick
