Hebrews 11:3: says, “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.”
The Bible says that the worlds were framed by words, more specifically, by the Word of God. The Greek word for “frame” means to render, fit together, equip, arrange, adjust, put in order, perfect, complete thoroughly. The worlds – the heavens and the earth – were put in order and brought to completion through the command of God.
Faith that acknowledges the worlds were framed by the word of God is the kind of faith that recognizes God’s unlimited power. The God who created everything from nothing is all-powerful. He reveals Himself and His incredible might through His creation: “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.”
You literally frame your world daily with your words even without realizing it. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
If you really want to get a great start on your day, try declaring the Word of God in the morning time. You can start framing your day by making these declarations.
Thank you, God, for the gift of another day as I wake up this morning, in Jesus’s name (Psalm 118:24). I declare that today is my day and the day dawns for my good and glory, in Jesus’s name. I command the morning to bring forth freshness of grace and mercy for me, in Jesus’s name. I command the morning to light upon me with fresh dew from heaven, in Jesus’s name. I command the day to release its abundance to me, in Jesus’s name. I command the day to empty itself on me in all blessing, favor, and goodness, in Jesus’s name. I declare that all the elements of nature will work together for my good today. I declare that the sun will shine for my good. The rain will fall for my good, in Jesus’s name (Judges 5:20). I declare that the angels that rule the day will visit me with good news today, in Jesus’s name (Genesis 18:9-10). I declare that my steps are ordered of the Lord today in the path of peace, success, and breakthrough, in Jesus’s name (Psalm 37:23). I declare that as the night gives way to today, and as darkness gives way to light, so has all evil, hinderances and disappointments given way to goodness for me, in Jesus’s name. I command the morning to take hold of the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it (Job 38:12). As I start the morning, empower me to overcome evil powers in the name of Jesus. I will have dominion over the devil in the morning (Psalm 49:14). Lord, make the outgoings of the morning to rejoice (Psalm 65:8). Receive your lovingkindness every morning (Psalm 143:8).
This is what the Lord told Joshua to do: “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE on it day and night, that you may OBSERVE AND DO according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.” Joshua 1:8 AMP
The only time that the translated word “success” is found in the Bible is here in Joshua 1:8. God gave Joshua His formula for success.
According to God, the three ingredients that are involved in achieving it are:
You must #1: SAY God’s Word out of your mouth. You must #2: MEDITATE, or think about God’s Word. AFTER – and only AFTER you have done this – then you will #3: OBSERVE God’s will for your life so you can DO it.
Psalm 19:14 says, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Matthew 12:37 says, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
It works! AMEN! SO BE IT
