Dutch Sheets tells us: “Let’s look at some biblical examples
of prophetic words that precede God doing something.
In Jeremiah 6:18, 19, Jeremiah prophesied and said, “Therefore hear, O nations…Hear, O earth.”
Similarly, in Jeremiah 22:29 (KJV) he again prophesied saying, “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.”

Similarly, in Jeremiah 22:29 (KJV) he again prophesied saying, “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.”
Many would think I was an
utter fool if I walked out of my house and said, ‘All the earth, hear me now!
And all the nations, I’m speaking to you.’ But that’s what Jeremiah did.
It was prophetic declaration that made no sense naturally.

We must understand that
it is not an issue of what our words would normally do. It is rather speaking for God, which releases His power to
accomplish something.
Isn’t this what happens as we preach or declare the gospel, which is the power of God for salvation? (see Rom. 1:16).

Our mouths, speaking God’s Word, release the
power of those words. Is this not also what occurs when we speak His Word as a
sword in spiritual warfare?
He infuses our words with divine power. Why then would He not in other situations allow us to be his voice?

What we are to understand
is the power of Holy Spirit-inspired declaration – it releases the power of God
into situations.”

[Father, help us remember we must understand that it is not an issue of what our words would normally do. But it is rather that we're speaking Your words into a situation, for Your purpose in accomplishing Your will.]
Today’s quote: Patrick Wood – “The only one worthy to define us as individuals is the Lord – not our failures or mistakes, and certainly not the poisonous words or expectations of others.
"True transformation begins…when we realize how valuable we are in God’s eyes," she, [Christi Paul], says, "But that can occur only if our sense of worth is anchored in the right place. God’s designed you to specifically be you, and no one can take that away.”[pg.18, 19 of Jan. 2013 In Touch magazine of Charles F. Stanley.]
Our thought for today: We get to be a part of what God wants to accomplish in the earth. That is our blessing!
