Word of the Day
Beloved, when it comes to all aspects of life, a key to living out an unhindered destiny walk is to know this: I am the original and the ultimate promise keeper and what I say supersedes what anyone else says or does. My truth always supersedes the facts. Many times you look at your life and lament about the facts. You think, facts are facts and it is what it is. To think in such a way is limiting and a death nail to life and liberty…death to a good future full of hope.
Time has come to fully combat this in your life, even to the smallest place where doubt and unbelief have entered in. It is time to close shut the door once and for all. It is time to exit the building of suspicion and misgiving and live in a new house based on what I say about who I am as your Promise Keeper…to live in a house named “it is finished and that settle is once and for all . “
What is finished? What has been defeated…death, hell and the grave. Promises now have life and not death. Promises are seated in Heaven and not hell. Promises are now resurrected and not buried in a grave. Promises are now in Me, the faithful one. Where I am your promises are there too. I even go one more step and remain faithful when others are not faithful…even when you are not faithful. Beloved, put the enemy in remembrance of this truth. How he hates it when he is reminded of My ability and willingness to keep covenant regardless.
Beloved, let knowing I keep covenant not based on your works or ability to do what is right, but on the finished work of the Cross, give you comfort all the while infusing you with My steadfastness so you can stand when others fail to do as they promise. Depend only on My ability to keep you from falling.
I cannot deceive and nothing is impossible with me. I direct the hearts of kings and can redirect the heart of one who has forgotten to act according to their word or I can simply send someone else (Proverbs 21:1). Don’t limit Me or put anything about or connected to Me in a box. What kind of adventure would that be?
Therefore, seize the day and the beauty it holds (Hebrews 10:23). Cling to and hold fast the Word of Truth you have received with joy and confidence. Acknowledge with your voice and shout from mountaintops of insurmountable odds that I who promised am reliable and faithful to My Word…that I who established the earth from its foundations and framed it with My words am capable, willing and ready to establish your life as I proclaimed it to be before the worlds were formed. How can the failure of one man…one woman to do as they have promised nullify something I declared before you were ever born? To give such power to another would make them greater than Me. Selah. The key player in all you are called to do is not someone else and their ability or lack of to do as they say or be as they should. The key player is you. It is you and your choice as to who you will believe. I say believe the good report and inherit the Promised Land from the Promise Keeper. The time to start is right now.
[Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began (Titus 1:2 Amplified
For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment (Luke 1:37 Amplified)
If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13 Amplified)
So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word (Hebrews 10:23 Amplified)
Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven [stands firm as the heavens].Your faithfulness is from generation to generation; You have established the earth, and it stands fast (Psalms 119:89-90 Amplified)
Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child] (Psalm 27:10 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, You are my Promise Keeper…the one and only true to the end covenant friend. You are the eternal life promised and given to me before the ages of time began. There is not one syllable of one Word You have spoken that is without power. Every Word you have spoken is fulfillment in and of itself, for Your word is endued with power given to it by You. Even if I am faithless, You are faithful for you cannot deny Yourself and who You are; the beginning, the end and all in between. In light of these truths, please forgive me for somehow believing the facts supersede the truth of Your Word.
Doubt and unbelief have always been at enmity with the power of the Cross. They have always been at enmity with the Word…at enmity with the seed of Christ in me. To think, speak or act as if the Word is limited to the facts or situations we experience gives power to a spirit of doubt and unbelief in unprecedented and brings death, not life. It has been so since the beginning when doubt and unbelief were sewn as seeds in Adam and Eve’s hearts. It is no different now. They were first sown by the Father of all lies; therefore, doubt and unbelief are demonic in nature. They are death.
Therefore, I choose to abandon doubt. I abandon unbelief and choose to resist the devil, submit to the Lord and the devil will flee. Death, hell and the grave have been defeated in my life. I shut the door to all deceptions and lies of the enemy about the true nature of God and the true nature of who I am in Him. I take my own thoughts captive and declare the authority of God’s Word in relation to my whole life as it relates to who I am, what I am to do and who others are as well. I stand in the covenant of God not based on human means or abilities. I stand in the covenant of God based on the truth of His Word which supersedes all other words or actions of men. Today I seize the day and the beauty it holds.
Lord, I cling and hold fast to You, the Word of Truth. I shout from the mountaintops, from the valleys…from every contrary circumstance and from every hindrance to the fulfillment of my promises and say “The Lord reigns and has already done great things on my behalf. He has already established my way and I and I alone make the choice to walk in the path set before me regardless of what I see, hear, feel, or experience contrary to the promise.” Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Define what it means in your own words for the Lord to be the original Promise Keeper.
2. How have you let the facts you see in relations to your situations in your life have preeminence over the truth of the Word?
3. What reoccurring areas of doubt and unbelief constantly reoccur in your life in the same area?
4. How can you respond differently to them now when you contemplate the difference between facts and truth?
5. Meditate on covenant not being based on your own faithfulness, actions or deed but on the finished work of the Cross.
6. How can you on a practical level, based on this word, better seize the day in regards to your promises?
7. How have you limited God or put Him in a box when it comes to the fulfillment of His Word to you?
