Today’s Reading:
Job 22
Psalm 81
Ephesians 4
Proverbs 18
“You’ll take delight in God, the Mighty One, and look to him joyfully, boldly. You’ll pray to him and he’ll listen; he’ll help you do what you’ve promised. You’ll decide what you want and it will happen; your life will be bathed in light. To those who feel low you’ll say, ‘Chin up! Be brave!’ and God will save them. Yes, even the guilty will escape, escape through God’s grace in your life.”
Job 22:26-30 MSG
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Let your worry turn into a praise. And make the concerns of your heart a prayer. Those thoughts and conflicts and stressors that come to mind, turn them into a praise for righteous outcomes, for victorious outcomes, for turnarounds and for good. Those thorns, those thistles and briars that prick at you and cause you irritation, pain, frustration and even heartache, make them a song and a prayer to Me. Turn every thought into a praise or a prayer. This is how to discipline your mind in these days. Take the thought captive as soon as you have it. Allow no arguments to manifest inside of your head. Instead, sing a song of praise for a righteous outcome. Pray a prayer of victory for the most beautiful way forward.
“I am your only God, the living God. Wasn’t I the one who broke the strongholds over you and raised you up out of bondage? Open your mouth with a mighty decree; I will fulfill it now, you’ll see! The words that you speak, so shall it be!”
Psalms 81:10 TPT
Expect it, and you shall have it. Remember, seek and you shall find. You are made in My image, and I Am the Creator of all. As you speak, you create reality too. So speak well. Speak the turnaround. Speak about the tiny victories, and make them testimonies of My grace. This is how to discipline your mind in these days. Turn your worry into a song, and turn your frustrations into prayer. And speak these things.
This is how you take dominion in the Earth, by speaking the outcome that is in alignment with Heaven…on Earth as it is in Heaven. This is how you rule and reign with Me. Use your divine authority that has been given to you through Christ Jesus. And call forth those things that aren’t as though they are.
“Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.”
Ephesians 4:29 NASB1995
When Jesus said it is finished, He put you in the position of the overcomer. He put you in position as the head and not the tail. So use the authority, the power and the strength that you have been given. I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. And watch as you transform the places I’ve sent you. I’ve sent you there for a purpose. It’s to change the atmosphere and to put that place into alignment with Heaven. Use your authority to enforce Heaven’s mandate, and I will send angels to back you up. Heaven’s mandate is this — goodness, godliness and justice.
How to Respond
- Determine to speak using the authority and creative power the Lord has given you. Zip your lips to words of frustration, complaint and defeat.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for being my counselor. Help me to discipline my mind and heart, so I only speak words that create the life, results and atmosphere that align with Heaven. I do not want to speak death, frustration and conflict into my situations through careless speech.
- Declare, Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.
— Proverbs 18:21 TPT - Decree, I will assume dominion in the places that the Lord has assigned me, and I will operate in alignment with Heaven. I will shut my mouth to words of frustration, defeat, irritation and curses. Instead, I will turn my worries, conflicts, frustrations and problems into songs of praise and into prayers for perfected outcomes. I will align all I say with Heaven’s mandate for goodness, godliness and justice. I will see every situation turn around for the good, because I am operating under the authority of the One who has won every victory. Christ Jesus is King.
