Today’s exhortation – Prophecy over yourself.

Some years ago whilst in prayer, I felt The Lord telling me to prophesy over myself. I couldn’t find any biblical basis for it so I asked The Lord if it was biblical to do that. I was drawn to look at the Psalms and it became apparent to me that some of David’s Psalms were prophetic and he did prophesy over his life. At a particular difficult time in his life and facing possible death, he declared, “I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD.” Psalms‬ ‭118:17‬). He was prophesying over his life! When we prophesy to ourselves or to someone else, it is not just a case of “the power of positive thinking.” There is active power in the spoken word that transforms these things for good.

There are guidelines to prophesy, the bible says, “But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.(1 Corinthians 14:3). If what you prophesy doesn’t tally with the above it may not be of The Lord. Start today by prophesying over your year – “I proclaim freedom and the favorable year of the Lord over my life. Every appointment God has destined for me will be fulfilled; goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; With long life He will satisfy me; I will live to declare the goodness of The Lord in the land of the living.” Amen

Today’s exhortation – declarations

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so…” (Psalms‬ ‭107:2‬). Let them say, “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—” (II Corinthians‬ ‭4:8-9‬). “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans‬ ‭8:37‬). “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans‬ ‭8:31‬). For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews‬ ‭13:5‬). Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth…

For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the LORD, who has mercy on you. All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you.” (Isaiah‬ ‭54:4, 10, 13-14‬). “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (‭Psalms‬ ‭118:6‬). “I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD.” (Psalms‬ ‭118:17‬). The LORD will perfect that which concerns me…” (Psalms 138:8). Amen!!!
