DIVINE LIFTING BY GOD’S WORD
Main Text
Job 22:21-30
Watchword
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
Job 22:28 KJV
This is an instruction with a promise. The instruction is that you “shall.” It is His direct command and instruction of what we should be doing. It is followed with the promise that it “shall” be established.
The secret of a life that will neither know failure nor darkness is serving God, falling into the line of His purpose, and to determine and want nothing, until we are sure that it is His will. What our words do is that they get us into alignment with God’s truths and Word – over which HE HIMSELF is alert, active, watching and ready to perform! (Jeremiah 1:12)
The creation of the world was based on God’s word and He has given us the same ability (John 1:1-5). At creation, God gave man His image and dominion (Genesis 1:26-30). The dominion that God gave man was in all areas of life not withstanding the situation (Romans 11:29). As believers we have the of spirit of God (the spirit of faith) living in us that enable us to speak and change situations according to the will of God (Job 22:28).
Before anything you decree can be established you must believe because it takes faith to form and create your world (Hebrew 11:3). At the beginning, God created light to bring order into the world (Genesis 1:3-4). Darkness will remain forever untill light shows up. You have God’s ability to create the atmosphere you want and desire if only you believe and declare then light will shine on your path.
Confession
I refuse to be controlled by the circumstances of this world, because greater is he in me than in the world.
Prayer
Oh Lord, let’s your light shine forth in my path and establish the words of my mouth. Amen.
