21-Day Prayer & Fasting: Day 19 – Decree It and It Shall Be Established

God’s Word is so rich with tools for our daily living. We just need to find out which tools to use for what purpose. One of the greatest tools is to decree His Word over our lives and circumstances. What does this mean? A decree is an official rule of law given by a legal authority. It means to command, order, or proclaim by authority. Other Bible interpretations have used other words like decide and declare. God has given us legal authority over His Word to speak it into situation and expects an outcome as God ensures that His Word does not return to Him void.

To decree a thing and have it established is to stand on the power and authority in the Word of God you are holding or referencing, affirm and align that Word with heaven (Psalm 119:89Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.”) and command that Word to be moved from its heavenly kingdom or realm into the physical realm on the earth to be made manifest upon your life or situation (Mathew 6:10Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”). You are standing like Mary decreeing as in Luke 1:38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” The reason you are doing this is because God is waiting for your mouth to speak that blessing or promise into existence according Jeremiah 1:12The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled." The Lord then stands and watches His Word to come to pass in your life according to Psalm 138:8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” This is because His released Word cannot return to Him void according to Isaiah 55:11so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

We are going to decree these words into our lives, then wait on God to preform it according to our believe and truth in His Word. What we are doing is that we are affirming that this is what our lives and circumstance shall be as we enter and serve God into 2021 and the years ahead.

  1. Galatians 2:20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

  4. 2 Corinthians 12:9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

  9. Jeremiah 10: 10-12But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation. Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.” The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.”

  10. Isaiah 43:2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”

  11. Psalm 23:1-6The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”

  12. Romans 8:38-39For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

  13. Isaiah 40:29-31He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

  14. Deuteronomy 31:6Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

  16. Isaiah 54:17No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

  17. Isaiah 49:25For thus says the Lord: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.”

  18. Psalm 91:4-6He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.”

  19. Ephesians 3:16-19That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

  20. Proverbs 3:5-6Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

  21. Psalm 18:2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
