GOD’S UNSHAKABLE WORD

Scripture Reading: Psalm 119:86-96
 
Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89
 
God's word is settled. It is fixed. It is permanent. It will not change. It will not lose its power.
 
When God gives us a word, He settles it in heaven first and then He works it out on earth. That is why Jesus taught us to pray, ‘thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’. The settled word in heaven must be settled on earth.
 
Jesus overcame the temptations of the evil one through the Word of God. He knew who He was and what the Word had said about Him, so He overcame. We will also overcome if we settle our minds and words on God’s Word.
 
What God has settled in your case in heaven will also be settled here on earth. For a moment, there will be warfare, there will be battles; but in the end, what is settled in heaven will be settled on earth.
 
‘Forever O Lord your word is settled in heaven’. We are not just seeking God to settle His word; He has already done that. What we are seeking is for what He has settled in heaven to be settled on earth.  
 
Time does not diminish the power of God’s word or His promises. Distance does not diminish the power of God’s word or His promises. What He said a thousand years ago is as fresh as the first time He spoke it. What He said to you thirty years ago is as real today as the first time He spoke it.
 
Our minds must be settled on the settled Word of God.
 
- It is settled that God is the Creator of heaven and earth.

- It is settled that God loves you.

- It is settled that God has a plan for you.

- It is settled that God is working out His plan for you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, your word is settled in heaven. I receive full manifestation of your promises in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
