STEER YOUR LIFE ARIGHT

Daniel 11:32b AMP
“… the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits for God.”

What does it mean to know my God? It means to know his character, his attributes, and his ways. Ps 119 talks about desiring to know God’s ways. The writer says it over and over again. Teach me your ways, precepts, ordinances and commandments. Only when you know your God can you do exploits for him.

Exploits are commanded into being. The way to do this is to decree what you want to see happen. When the earth was empty and void, God said “let there be.” He spoke what he wanted to see. We being made in the image of God and being imitators of Christ must likewise speak into being what we want to see. Just like he did. Hence, the word says “Decree a thing and it shall be established for you.”

The only way to command exploits is to know the will of your Father in heaven and speak it into existence on the earth. What does his word say?

3 John 2
“I wish above all things that you would prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.”

So I must prosper in my soul. My spirit must flourish, planted in the courts of Jehovah. Once my spirit and soul are prospering in the word, then my material wealth and physical health must prosper too.

It is God’s will that I be in good health. Therefore, with my mouth I procure divine health. It is God’s desire that I want for nothing since he is my shepherd, therefore with my mouth I procure wealth and Dominion in my Nation of Calling.

I am done letting life dictate where my life is going. From now on, I take full charge of my life, submitting it under the authority of Jesus Christ and letting the Holy Ghost show me the way. From today I decree with my mouth and let God establish it for me. From today, I will direct my life in accordance with the word of God.

James likened the tongue to the rudder of a ship. He said that just as a ship is steered by the rudder, so is your life steered by the tongue. So steer your life every day by decreeing what you want to see happen that day. Soon the law of momentum will catch up with you and “I think I can” will become “I know I can.”
