Welcome to Week Six of The 40 Day Soul Fast!
Last week we talked about the importance of identity. The Bible says God has made us kings and priests in order to reign on the earth. (See Revelations 5:10.) Peter tells us we belong to "a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9).The word royal is speaking of our kingly attributes as believers--and priesthood as being ordained to speak on behalf of God and "to bless."
Too many of us have neglected our royal duty to decree blessings over our marriages, families, businesses, ministries, and every other realm of our lives.
The whole universe is waiting for us to take dominion, to speak out, and to give instruction. That's what we were created to do! The Bible says, "the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God" (Romans 8:19 esv).
All of creation waits in anticipation for God's called out and anointed ones to bring it back into alignment with the Creator's original intent--declaring His glory to the nations. (See Isaiah 25:3 and 66:19.)
Every word you speak is pregnant with regal, creative power.
God created everything that exists by speaking out what He envisioned. He
dreamed about creating the cosmos, but it was not until His Word framed what He
saw in His mind's eye did the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars appear.
Imagination has no power until it is expressed--and the most powerful expression in the universe is the spoken word. God spoke, and from "nothingness" came everything that is.
Hebrews states that, "The worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" (Hebrews 11:3).
This week, declare yourself blessed! Declare yourself healed! Declare your home and business and marriage and children healthy and prosperous.
What do you envision for the world around you? Imagine the possibilities and begin framing it with your words.
Hebrews 10:23 NLT: Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
