How Belief Becomes Experience - Adding Declaration to Your Meditation - Part 4 - A Royal Decree for You and Me (Vers. 3)

Main post of the week #2

OK. So I can hardly stand it with the anticipation of getting My Royal Decree into your hands. Is that crazy? You tell me.

This is kind of an object lesson in declaration — taking Scriptures I have been meditating on for months in some cases, along with things I have been studying, and transforming them for you, sharing my process in action.

Sometimes ‘crafting’ things like My Royal Decree is very well worth the effort, especially when it brings to life Scriptures YOU have been meditating on. I hope you will go beyond my example eventually and invest your own energy in doing this. That’s the main point of illustrating the process like this.

In the meantime, ENJOY THIS ONE. :)

I can’t begin to tell you the hours I have invested in this, but trust me when I say this is not something I whipped up, and, I sincerely hope God touches you and frankly uses it to transform you and renew your mind.

READ ALOUD a few times and see what starts happening… Better yet, do it for a week or two. (Yeah, it’s still a work in progress and I’ll refine a little probably, but I just had to get it out to you!) Be blessed.

To the release of God’s Glory & Advance of His Kingdom,

My Royal Decree

Status/Transformation

I have been delivered from the domain of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. In Him I have redemption, the forgiveness of my sins. The jurisdiction of darkness that was once over me has ended - and a new King rules my life. His higher law is now in effect: the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This law is always at work on my behalf, bringing increase from God into every dimension of my life and through me; my spirit, soul & body; my family and extended family; every relationship; conversation; business dealing; all I set my hand to; every matter that concerns me; every situation – all day, every day, 24 hours a day, without interruption for the rest of my life.

I am being transformed into his likeness, not simply by occasional experiences, but with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Cor. 3:18)

The Kingdom/Position

Today, things are being done through my life on earth as it is in heaven. The Kingdom of God is in me and the Kingdom of Heaven is being extended though me. I reign in this life through Jesus Christ because I have chosen to receive God’s abundant provision of grace and the gift of righteousness (Rom. 5:15). I have been redeemed from the law and I have received the full rights of a son. (Gal 4:4-5)

The Father has been pleased to give me the kingdom. (Lk. 12:32) My original status as a ruler in this realm has been restored. Things that have bound me in the past, bind me no longer. I have awakened to my identity as a son in the Kingdom.

As Christ’s ambassador and part of God’s royal family, I am a leader, an heir and a carrier of His authority, His presence and power.

The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth He has given to man. (Ps 115:16) Therefore I step into my governing role without hesitation and with full expectation of the release of heavenly things through my earthly life today.

Since I know you, God, I am strong - and carry out great exploits. (Dan. 11:32)

Freedom

Because I am a child of God, I walk in glorious freedom. (Rom. 8:21) God’s Spirit has liberated me from the bondage to decay, sin and death. I am free from guilt and shame.

God’s Word

God’s word is living and active in my life today, right now, and its words carry spirit and life to me and through me; they sanctify me, and they bring health to my whole body. God’s words do not return empty, but accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent them. I meditate on God’s word night and day. I live on it.

Victory

My victory in this life does not originate from me but comes from Him. It is part of my heritage as a servant of the Lord. (Is. 54:17)

The Holy Spirit

I am divinely empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the assignment God gave me and I am bringing God glory on the earth by completing the work He gave me to do. (Jn. 17:4)

The Lord does outstanding miracles which no one can deny and by faith I declare that He does some of them through me. The Spirit of God which I have received helps me know the things that are freely given to me by God. (1 Cor. 2:12) Mindsets and false ideas that have limited Christians for generations will not limit me.

Though there is definitely a place for wisdom in my life, when I teach others about the things of God, I don’t simply use persuasive words of human wisdom, but carry a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that the faith of others won’t rest in human wisdom, but in God’s power. (1cor. 2:4-5)

Righteousness

I do not work to earn salvation. Instead, I trust God who justifies the wicked and my faith is credited to me as righteousness. (Rom 4:5) God made him who had no sin to be sin for me, so that in him I might become the righteousness of God. (2cor 5:21) I am the righteousness of God in him.

Protection

As a citizen of God’s Kingdom I enjoy His protection all the time. Therefore, He is protecting me right now and throughout every moment of every day. No evil will befall me and no plague will come near my dwelling. He has given His angels charge concerning me and they keep me in all my ways. I love the Lord and hate evil; therefore He guards me, as one of His faithful ones, and delivers me from the hand of the wicked. (Ps. 97:10) The Lord watches over my way and perfects that which concerns me.

Health

The power of sickness and infirmity has been broken in my life. I now enjoy continual access to the healing that Jesus purchased on the cross. Isaiah the prophet spoke that ‘He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses; therefore, I declare that He has taken my infirmities and borne my sicknesses.

Lord, I serve you and you bless my food and water. You have taken sickness out of me. Therefore I will fulfill the number of my days on earth in health. (Ex. 23:25-26)

Father, you have forgiven all my iniquities; you have healed all my diseases; you have redeemed my life from destruction. Ps. (103:2-5)

I attend to Your word and listen intently to Your sayings. I refuse to let them depart from my eyes. I keep them in the midst of my heart for they are life, healing and medicine to all my flesh. (Prov. 4:20-22)

Wealth/Provision

As I seek first Your Kingdom, provision comes to me from Your hand.

As I give cheerfully – not reluctantly or in response to pressure, You generously provide all I need, so that I always have everything I need and plenty left over to share with others. (2 Cor. 9:8)

I will never say to myself “I have achieved this wealth with my own strength & energy”. Instead, I remember the Lord my God who gives me the power to be successful. The blessing of the Lord is making me rich and adding no sorrow with it. As this happens increasingly, I will not be haughty, nor will I trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives me richly all things to enjoy. (1 Tim 6:17)

I am blessed today because I trust in God. (Ps 84:12)

Work

Everything I set my hand to prospers. I say continually “the Lord be magnified who delights in the prosperity of His servant”. I declare that I am a diligent person who makes effective plans that lead to advantage and profit in the marketplace. (Pr 21:5) I commit every part of all work I do, all my business dealings of every kind to the Lord and I believe that my plans are being established right now. (Prov. 16:3)

The Lord sends rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens and blesses all the work I do. (Dt. 28:12)

Father, I believe that your favor rests on me and that you are establishing the work of my hands today. (Ps 90:17)

Favor

I constantly seek You for wisdom, which you give liberally. That produces favor in my life. I declare that favor operates supernaturally in my life today; favor with You and with man. I declare that my increasingly good understanding that comes from You and through disciplined skill development causes me to gain increasing favor. (Prov. 13:15)

Creativity

God, You are a creative God; a creator, a maker, former, fashioner and builder. You bring forth excellent and wonderful things. Formed by You - in Your image - and through the working of Your Spirit, I declare that I am a creative person and that creative power flows through my life – both supernaturally and that which you have deposited in me. I lay hold of new ideas, better ways of doing things, innovations, inventions and creative expressions that bring You glory. I ask you to release divine creativity to me today - even things stored in the realm of heaven beyond my imagination - waiting to be released to better the earth. Instead of focusing on individual self expression, may the things I create reflect Your glory.

Faith

As I approach you today Lord, this is the assurance that I have; that anything I ask according to Your will You hear me, and if I know You hear me, whatever I asked, I know I have what I asked of You. (1Jn. 5: 14-15)

I know that according to my faith it will be done unto me and that the just live by faith. As I speak to situations in faith today, they must obey me. I do not doubt in my heart and believe what I say will happen, knowing it will be done for me. (Mk 11:23-24)

I remain in you, Lord Jesus, and Your words remain in me; therefore I ask what I wish and it will be given to me. I know that it is to the Father’s glory that I bear much fruit, showing myself to be your disciple. (Jn. 15:17)

Finally

I hold fast to this, my confession of faith, without wavering because I know without any doubt that the Promisor of these promises is faithful.

That concludes My Royal Decree. Declare it daily and get into your spirit. Watch what happens.

    Oh my gosh, Rick. Powerful! So good, so right there, so directly… the deal!! The first paragraph grabbed me in the gut where you were talking about the ‘law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus’ being active in me, “all day, every day, 24 hours a day, without interruption for the rest of my life.” If a handful of us could just get that… really get it, we would turn not only OUR worlds upside down, but the world around us. Thanks Rick for listening, obeying, and sharing.

    I just had to comment again, and let you and readers know.. I had to come back up to the computer, to print out (in large lettering) My Royal Decree, so I can put it up on the wall in my studio. This way, IF I start my day without reading it out loud… it will call to me from the studio wall, so I will start each day with this powerful decree. Thanks again, Rick.

    Thank you for sharing!The Spirit God is truly moving with this, all because of the Word.

    C’mon in the water is fine!

    I have personally had several amazing experiences with others as they read in the last couple of days. No kidding.

    Folks! I dare you to decree this consistently for a day, week, month and see what happens.

    And, oh how I would love some of you to share what you have been meditating on, put into a format like this so we could all benefit!

    I pray that some of you will release your creative decrees to us….Doesn’t have to be long, just good.

    Wow, excellent, Rick, its amazing what the Word does to your spirit, faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God, and my spirit responds to this, for me the continued declaration of the Word of God, produces in me what it talks about, because God’s Word is a seed and will produce a harvest in my life.

    The more I meditate on it, the more I renew my mind and the most important thing IS most definitely “declaring”, the more I do it the more I become the Word in flesh. As you say the words we SPEAK they are spirit and they are life, Jesus said we shall have whatsoever we SAY..and life and death is most definitely in the power of the tongue,(Prov 18:21) so for me in my personal life, if its not the Word I DON’T SAY IT!..

    We create our own world with our words just as God created the world with His Word in Genesis. Hebrews 11:3 Tells us that, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” That’s SO awesome! we can re-create what we want to see in our own world (and those around us) simply by speaking life, out of our mouths, simple really!

    Many don’t understand that all the things that happen in their lives is because of the words they speak, good or bad! Thanks again

    Great insight Diane. You speak truth with clarity and energy. Serious energy! ‘Speaking life out our mouth’ consistently and in alignment with God word’s and purposes releases a supernatural harvest.

    Why is it so hard to get people really, actually - consistently - doing this?

    No matter. We press on ourselves and for the release that will come to others… Good word.

    @Bobby Lepinay
    Can you post the direct link to your message? We have a bunch of folks who would love to check it out I’m sure but I wasn’t completely sure which message it was…

    That would be great!

    I read your “royal decree” on Friday - and many times over since then. While I find that most every area you have covered resonates with me, I’m now inspired to write my own decree steeped in the verses that God has me meditating on. There has been much power in applying the Biblical meditation techniques, and I look forward to what’s to come through declaring (decreeing). I love the fact that it’s just a matter of laying hold of the Word since your every decree is backed by Scripture - as mine will be also. Diane - your post is encouraging and describes so well the harvest that comes when belief becomes experience - by becoming a part of who we are. Thank you, Rick, for this object lesson in declaration as it paves the path for myself and others to grasp hold of!

    YES DAVE ==> Yes. And please share what you fashion… We may post on the blog itself, because that’s where the biggest release will come from — multiple people meditating on the Word, fashioning their own decree and then sharing… Great to have you along on this journey.
