I wrote this yesterday…but had difficulty getting it to post so here it is…the Very First Day of the New Year, 2017.
This is the last day of 2016. The end of a year. This year has been filled with much joy, much sadness, and challenges galore.
I AM NOT LEAVING THIS YEAR, WITHOUT MAKING A DECREE FOR 2017. I think each of us should…Why? Because WE are the powerful of God on Earth. We get to change the world and make a difference in people’s lives.
The same POWER that raised Jesus from the grave, Lives in us!
I am reminded of the scripture that says “not by power or might but by my SPIRIT!” says the Lord.
I am reminded that “such as I have I give you.”
I am reminded that Jesus didn’t ask God to heal someone, he spoke to the illness and commanded it to be gone.
One of the last things that Jesus said before he ascended into heaven was that “We would do even greater things than HE DID…. Now, doesn’t that just blow your mind? Well, it certainly does mine, anyway.
If Jesus made that statement then it certainly behooves us to take him at his word. Perhaps we are praying too much, although that is NOT possible because we are to “pray without Ceasing.” What I mean is that we certainly need to pray. We need to praise God, we need to be thankful for the many gifts he has given us. Just think about breathing….without HIS AIR that HE CREATED…we would be dead. Yes, so very much to be thankful for. So yes, we need to pray. We need to ask for his Wisdom, for his strength, his guidance, his love, his mercy, his guidance, his understanding, we need to ask for his heart and for the things that break his heart to also break ours. Those are prayers.
Those things that need doing in our world are the things we need to “decree.” We have been given the authority to change our world and we need to start doing that. Seek his guidance on this and then begin to make those “decrees.” Consider wisely, but let’s see what we can come up with. Lord Jesus, lead us in this endeavor. Teach us to change the world around us, teach us to change ourselves. Teach us to hear your voice, and speak your words, and bless those you have brought and are bringing into our midst. We are going to “step out of our comfort zone.”
Ready? I am going to add some decrees…then you add yours. 2017 is a new year, and God has great plans for all of us.
I decree….
My God shall Supply ALL of my needs, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
2017 will be the year when abortion is stopped and babies will be safe in their Mother’s wombs.
President Donald Trump and V. President Mike Pence will point the way to Jesus.
That our Congress will turn to Jesus Christ for answers.
Our Nation will look to Jesus as Savior and Lord and thousands upon thousands will receive forgiveness for their sin and welcome Jesus into their hearts and lives and follow HIM.
That WE will know the truth, and the truth will set us free.
That any in our current government, including the current President will either turn their lives over to Jesus and follow HIM, or be removed from office, because of their treasonous activities, including the
attempt to destroy Israel.
I will expect miracles.
I will grow my relationship with Jesus.
I will speak words of God’s truth to others.
I will believe and walk in the truth of the Word of God.
I will declare and decree those things that I hear you telling me.
I will come to you first…and not as a last resort.
And Lord…I decree that as for me and my family….WE WILL SERVE YOU!
I now dispatch angels to carry out this decree.
Ok my dear friends…the ball is in your court!
I pray the blessings of Christmas be upon you throughout the year, and the hope of the New Year, and
the plans YOU have for each of us be completed. Amen and AMEN
AMEN
