Today is a great day to remember what God has told us to do, and the commandments He has given us. Today, read Deuteronomy 5 where Moses gives the 10 commandments for a second time to the Israelites in the wilderness. In chapter 6:6 in the New Living Translation, Moses says:
“And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and WEAR THEM ON YOUR FOREHEAD as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates!” Deuteronomy 6:6-9 NLT Emphasis Added (Credit to Tyndale Publishers)
Wear them on your forehead??!! Well, that’s what Moses is trying to get at! We may not go around each day with pieces of paper tied to our hands or post it notes on our forehead, but there is a very important truth to this passage. As God has given each of us a logos word (His written word in the Bible) and a rhema word (A personal word He has spoken personally in our hearts) we must write them down, and repeat them daily literally out loud! Get your mind renewed by REMINDING yourself each and everyday of what God has said to you. Our human minds unfortunately forget most of what we read and understand. We must remind it daily of what God has said about ourselves and what we WILL do for Him.
So you may be saying Michael, how do I do that? Well, it’s quite simple. Write down or type up in a word processor scriptures or personal words He has given you, and every morning before your mind has had time to think start reading to yourself in your devotional time what these words say! As you speak, your making a difference in the realm of the Spirit, and it goes up as a prayer and memorial before God. It’s more than “claim it, blab it, have it” but it’s MUCH more powerful than that! It’s a determined believer in God’s Holy words and those words are establishing your future (Job 22:28)! God fights your battles, but a believer without a voice is like a soldier without a sword! USE your sword!! Use your mouth!! The devil wants to shut you up, but we know the secret. We know HIS words spoken by our mouth still the enemy in his tracks! He is no match for the words of our wonderful savior JESUS!!!!!
