We are in the 80s!
Recap
Today, in my prayer time, I felt the Lord re-affirm the Daily Building precept He spoke to my heart back in January. The Word for me, for this year is DAILY BUILDING. I was reminded that I am not merely fasting for the sake of fasting, but that I have specific intentions and outcomes in mind.
(Oh and the headaches from fasting coffee and sugar have subsided again... still no lower back/nerve issues or ankle problems either. Overall, feeling nicely peaceful and productive.)
Find The Promises You Need
The Lord impressed upon my heart that I need to be clear about these goals and be speaking over them every day, so as to establish my heart in His promises regarding them. In this way, I am not fasting and simply hoping things will change, but I am actively building myself up in my most holy faith to experience the fruition of those promises.
This is the principle of consistency. It isn't just about days passing. It is about them accruing value and leading to exponential growth. And this takes place on multiple levels across an array of fields.
For example, it happens in both the seen and unseen levels- spiritual and carnal.
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:1-3
This is one of God's guarantees and it's repeated in Josh 1:8
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 good success. Josh 1:8If you stand on the Word that stands forever, you will see it come to pass, as it is promised.
It also happens, in different areas at the same time, such as material provision, health,
renewing the mind, witty ideas for businesses, wisdom for relationships, training in righteousness, etc
My son, be attentive to my words;incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them,
and healing to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
24 Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you.
25 Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure.
27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil. Prov 4:20-27
This describes an exceedingly dedicated attitude to the Word, plus the promises for Life if you adhere to them. Renewing the mind and establishing the heart make following God are much easier thing to do. You can't do this in your strength. This is why we fast and pray. So, God will do what only He can do in our lives, circumstances and relationships!
Use Your Words
The Bible says that Jesus is the High Priest over our confession of faith. AS long as our words agree with His words, He makes sure it is done!
Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, Heb 3:1 And Jesus also said,
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. Jn 15:7
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Jn 8:31-32
I am absolutely in this fast for the freedom!
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1
Which Anointing Are You Counting On?
These are just some of the promises I can be speaking out over myself every day, so that my heart becomes immovable! I know what it is to do this and bring transformation to my life, out of walking in the anointing that abides within. We all have that!
The anointing that comes upon for ministry is as the Spirit wills, so its better to learn how to walk in the anointing that dwells within for our own well being.
Today's Takeaway
If you are believing God's promises for anything, speak them out in faith, fill your eyes, ears, mouth and heart with them and change the default so that you will hide in His Truth whenever things turn sour- and STAND.
No matter how you feel about it, God's way is the perfect way to handle every situation, so find out what He says about yours
Do you have a situation you would like to know God's promises for , so you can set your faith on them instead of the natural?
