Declarations for Great Wisdom, Great Favor, Great Life and Great Wealth: Part 1

Hey Guys!  Just wanted to let you see the declarations I make out loud over us every day.  It's actually something that I picked up a couple of years ago, but is so powerful.  It comes from Patricia King.  Here is a link to the article that was associated with it...

Daily Prayer Directives
Pray and decree for five minutes a day into each directive, for a total of 30 minutes:
1. Ask for an increase of great wisdom to fill your life, family, ministry and business according to Proverbs 4:7; James 3:17-18; James 1:5.
Decree: In Jesus' name, I decree that Jesus Christ has been made Wisdom unto me. Because I invited the Spirit of Christ's wisdom to fill me to overflowing, I am enriched in all things. The Spirit of Wisdom fills my mind, heart, soul and body. The Spirit of Wisdom empowers me and gives me understanding each and every day. The increase of wisdom is great in my life. I am blessed with wisdom and understanding.
Wisdom guards my thoughts, my words and my ways. I listen for Wisdom to speak to me each day. My ear is attentive to Wisdom and I am obedient to Wisdom's instruction. Wisdom gives me discretion and discernment in all my life's choices. Wisdom inspires me and rules over my decisions in life. I love and cherish Wisdom. I eat and drink at Wisdom's banqueting table. The Wisdom I walk in and exercise is heavenly wisdom that is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering and without hypocrisy. The Wisdom that fills me daily produces the fruit of righteousness, peace and joy.
2. Ask for Wisdom to fill your mouth with creative and righteous words, according to Proverbs 8:6-9, James 3.
Decree: In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree that the fruit of my mouth is righteous and blessed. Wisdom watches over and guards the words that I speak. Wisdom produces creative words within me that bring forth truth, life, and edification. Through Wisdom, I call forth those things that are not as though they are. With the power of Christ's wisdom I command mountains to be removed. Like my Heavenly Father, I create with my words. Like Him, I say, "Let there be light," and light and life and blessing are made manifest.
Through words of wisdom and faith I call forth blessing to come upon me and overtake me. Through words of wisdom and faith I create an awesome course of fruitfulness to walk in. I watch over my heart and mouth with all diligence, for with my heart I believe and with the words of my confession, it is sealed. Through the Blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony I overcome. The opening of my mouth produces right things, and the words of my mouth are seasoned with grace, love and truth. I speak noble things that bring honor and glory to my King. My heart and my mouth are filled with wisdom and therefore I am blessed.
3. Ask for the fear of the Lord (reverence, awe and attention to God) to fill you, for it is the beginning of wisdom. Psalms 19:9, 25:14, 33:18, 34:7, 103:17, 111:10; Proverbs 9:10, 14:26-27.
Decree: I fear (reverence, honor and give primary attention to) God with all my heart, mind, and strength because of Wisdom's instruction. I grow in the fear of the Lord and therefore receive insights into His secrets and mysteries. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever, therefore I am filled with His purity. The angel of the Lord encamps around me because I fear the Lord. Angelic protection is fortified and increased in my life.
Because I love wisdom and the fear of God, the eye of the Lord is upon me to watch over me in all my ways. In the fear of the Lord I have strong confidence and my children have refuge. His fear is a fountain of life to me. I choose the fear of the Lord in all my ways because it is the beginning of wisdom. I am filled with the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord and therefore I grow in great wisdom, insight and understanding.
4. Ask for increased favor with God and with man. Psalms 5:12, 45:12; Proverbs 3:4, 8:35, 11:27, 14:15.
Decree: I decree in Jesus' name that I am blessed with the favor of the Lord. His favor is a shield and protection around me. I grow in favor every day with God and man. I am favored in everything I put my hands to and everywhere I go. The blessing of the Lord's favor opens doors for me that no one can shut. I am blessed beyond measure because of the undeserved, unmerited favor of the Lord.
I am constantly filled with goodness, because the favor of the Lord blesses me. I have favor everywhere I go because I seek good and because I love wisdom. I am favored at home, in my church, in the work place, marketplace and everywhere I connect with people. The rich among the people entreat my favor. Those in authority favor me. I am favored in all my dealings because of the blessing of Christ over my life.
5. Ask for the blessing of the abundant life. John 10:10; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:2-4; Proverbs 3:16.
Decree: Jesus came that I would have life and have it abundantly. I have a full and abundant life in Him. The Father has chosen gladly to give me His Kingdom, and all the blessings and promises in the Kingdom are mine in Christ Jesus. Every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places is mine. My life is great in Christ, for He has given me everything that pertains to life and to godliness. He has given to me His great, precious and magnificent promises so that by them I can partake of the Divine nature.
I enjoy a long, full life that is filled with every good thing. As my days are, so shall my strength be. Everything I put my hands to is filled with life. The words I speak are filled with life. Everything around me lives and prospers. Because I love Wisdom, I have the long, full life that is in her right hand.
6. Ask for wealth. Proverbs 3:16, 8:18; Psalm 23:6; Genesis 1:28; Deuteronomy 8:18; Philippians 4:19.
Decree: I love Wisdom and therefore I am granted the wealth that is in her left hand. My God has given me the power to make wealth in order to establish His covenant. The blessing of wealth comes upon me and overtakes me. I am blessed with prosperity in all that I put my hands to. I am fruitful and I multiply. Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. I sow into good ground and reap 30 – 60 – 100 fold return, and am increased 1,000 fold more than I am now.
The same measures of wisdom and wealth that were granted Solomon are available to me in Christ, and even beyond what Solomon received, because Jesus has gone to the Father. With the blessing of wealth I care for the poor, the widows, the orphans and the destitute. I receive the transference of wealth and decree that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for me. The windows of Heaven are open over my life and the rain of God's provision drenches me continuously. All my needs are met according to God's riches in glory through Christ. I am blessed with great, ever-increasing wealth through the goodness and promises of God.

Declarations: An important Key to releasing the promises.

In my experience, the goodness and promises of God are not one time events that happen in response to a single prayer or declaration, though God does honor prayer and can release a particular breakthrough.  However I find that the goodness and promises of God are to be a lifestyle that we walk in daily and should be growing throughout the days of our lives.
There are certainly times of pruning or dry seasons, but the purpose of these times is that of preparation, that we would bear more fruit and that our roots would grow stronger and deeper in the true source of life, Jesus.  With this vision in mind, the question therefore becomes how do we participate with God in seeing this fruitfulness come forth in our lives? 
While there are many aspects of walking in fullness, a very significant aspect is that of declaration.  As it turns out, scriptural declaration has the force of law in the spirit realm and as the spirit realm is more real, more tangible, more impactful than anything in the physical realm, we must as spiritual beings made in the image and likeness of God take up our divine weapons that are supernaturally powerful for the destruction of strongholds.  The following is basis for this belief…
            Isaiah 55:11 …so 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.
            Isaiah 44:26 …who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers…
            Psalm 103:20  Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. (Speaking the word releases angelic hosts on our behalf, this is HUGE)
            Isaiah 45:23  By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked…
            Job 22: 28  "You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways. NAS
            Genesis 1:3  And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Let us therefore lay hold of the promises of God and through scriptural declaration, decree that which God declares over us for the promises in his word are so much better than anything we can come up with on our own. 
What then shall we declare???
Declare a shield of victory and shield of favor being around you at all times.  Declare that you are blessed when you go out and when you come in.  Declare that God is working on your behalf beyond all that you can ask, think, hope or want.  Declare that you reap 100 fold for the work of your hands and that God is increasing you 1000 times greater than you are right now.  Declare…

First Post of the Mighty Men: 100 Fold Returns This year

I must say that I am tremendously excited to see what God is about to do in each of our lives, particularly in the realm of finances.

Last night I was up to 3 in the morning, praying and felt like the Lord gave me the following scripture and thoughts…

Genesis 26:12-14  Isaac planted a crop in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord had blessed him.  The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.  He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

This scripture is exciting in itself, that God would bless one in such a way that he would reap 100 fold the first year he was in business.  What is more exciting is the backdrop to the whole passage which is given in the first eight words of chapter 26, “Now there was a famine in the land...”

In this passage there is a worldwide famine going on in the land, but God told Isaac to not go to Egypt, the place everyone else went during a famine, because God knew that the Egyptian system, was one that ultimately led to slavery; so God had Isaac stay in Gerar.

Because of Isaac’s obediance, God blessed him 100 fold on his first years crops.  And the blessing did not stop there, but continued on until Isaac and his entire family became very wealthy.  So much so that the king of the Philistines asked him to move away because he was becoming more powerful than the Philistine nation.

This is my prayer for us this week, that we would bring forth 100 fold, even in the midst of the famine in the land.  He who is faithful is faithful and just to perform his word and he will complete it.

On a prophetic note, I came to my computer this morning and picked up a new debit card that came in the mail yesterday and put it into my wallet.  Then I checked the Elijah list and this is part of an article from Doug Addison that I saw, which I think is for all three of us…

ATM Cards from Heaven
I saw "spiritual ATM cards" being issued to people for "Angelic Teller Machines". God is assigning angels that will make finances and favor available from June 8 through September 30 (Pentecost – Rosh Hashanah). This is a specific time that people are going to reap what they have previously sown. In other words, we are in a time right now that we are receiving from God because of things that we have done and given to over the past nine years (2001-2011).
The amount of grace and blessing being received right now will not seem to make sense to some because it is coming as back-payment for previous losses.
Plan Now for the Future Assignments
Don't assume the amount of blessing you are receiving from June to September will continue at the same high velocity. So don't just think you can camp in the flow of blessing, you will still need to be wise and position yourself to get the new promotions coming after September. Begin planning now by watching for new opportunities.

Blessings on each of us, God is good.
