“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV).
Our opening scripture is very insightful. It unveils a profound principle in the concluding part of the 6th verse. With an understanding of this principle, you hold the key to amazing possibilities: “...he hath said...So that we may boldly say.” In other words, God gave us His Word—He said what He said—so that we can boldly respond in agreement with Him.
Your response to God, to His Word, is where the blessing is. Let’s read it again: “...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:5-6). Notice it doesn’t say, “He hath said, so that you might quietly say”; no! You’re to boldly affirm His Word.
Faith is boldly affirming what He has said! In this context, you declare “The Lord is helping me right now; He has said ‘I will not leave you helpless.’ Therefore, I’m helped from heaven; I’m helped from above!” When you respond this way on the basis of what He has said, you’ll always win.
For example, Jesus said in Matthew 28:20, “...lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age.” I therefore boldly declare that the Lord is with me; therefore I have no fear but walk in favour, victory and dominion always and in all things.
Even now, release words on the basis of what God has said. Declare, “I’m abundantly supplied (2 Corinthians 9:8). I have everything I require for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper, and I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Amen.” Such declarations activate your dominion and position you above the forces of this world.
PRAYER/CONFESSION
"I have dominion over circumstances and adversities. I’m seated with Christ; therefore, I speak with His authority. I’m healthy, strong and prosperous; all that concerns me flourishes exceedingly. God’s grace for increase and expansion is multiplied in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen."
