Like many of you, Debbie and I are expecting to see the many promises of God (things that He has said to us personally and in His word) come to pass in our lives this year.
During most of 2015 (last year) I have learned that in most cases in order for that to happen, it’s important that we “speak out” or that we “declare” or “decree” the promise of what we believe God will bring to pass. The Bible makes it very clear that all of the promises of God in Christ, are ‘yes’ and the response to receive them is our ‘amen.’ (II Cor. 1:20) And there are countless numbers of scriptures that support that the words of our mouth – the things that we “say” are connected to what “we believe.” The mouth speaks from that which fills the heart!
Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we maintain a good confession about every area of our lives in 2016. To take this a little further, as we were just about ready to cross over into 2016, I felt like the Lord said to me that this would be a year of Yes! That the “delays” that we had experienced in previous years was over and that what would take place this year would begin to happen much quicker and faster than expected.
Please know that this year we are Declaring His Promises over our lives! And if you don’t mind, over YOUR life as well. That 2016 will be a year of ‘yes’ in your life and that you, too, will rise strong! Amen and Amen!
