One of the key instructions for the Let There Be Challenge was to anchor ALL forty decrees on the Word of God.
Our declarations have been made weighty by the addition of Scripture. The Word of God is the ONLY guarantee we have that our declarations will come to pass.
As I typed this out, the significance of the word ‘weighty’ to describe Scripture was not lost on me. Based on the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of 'weighty', the Word of God is powerful and telling. The Word of God adds weight to our declarations. The Word of God is of much importance and consequence.
The Bible tells us that after we have done all, to stand (Ephesians 6: 13) The word ‘stand’ in the Strongs Concordance (istēmi) is defined as to:
· make firm, fix
· cause a person or a thing to keep his or its place
· be kept intact (of family, a kingdom)
· escape in safety
· establish a thing, cause it to stand
· uphold or sustain the authority or force of anything
· stand immovable, stand firm
· continue safe and sound, stand unharmed, to stand ready or prepared
· be of a steadfast mind
· be one who does not hesitate, does not waiver (as a quality)
As our declarations have been anchored in the Word of God, we're made firm, kept in place and kept intact. We stand firm, continue safe and sound, are of a steadfast mind and do not waiver.
Our declarations will stand immovable and their authority will be upheld, because they are established in His Word.
The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17 NKJV)
The Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV)
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised IS faithful (Hebrews 10:23)
We know that He is faithful to the promises given to us according to His Word, because the Lord has magnified His Word above all His Name (Psalm 138:2 NKJV) and His Word shall not return to Him void, without accomplishing the purpose for which it was sent forth (Isaiah 55:11 NKJV)
When you notice that you're starting to get weary of reciting your declarations everyday, stand.
When the enemy begins to whisper in your ear, trying to discourage you out of this process, stand.
Remember you’re anchored in the Word of God, and that, my friend, is more than enough power to stand on.
