Shh! Satan is Listening
Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place, that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? (Job 38:12–13)
God governs with His voice.
God legislates with His commands. God creates order in chaos by speaking. He does not “think” creation and then expects it to form. Rather, He becomes a vocal craftsman and speaks creation into being (see Gen. 1:1; John 1:1–3).
He who calls Himself “the Word” (John 1:1) has designed things so that what you say also creates. This is why satan has battled you for years to limit your sphere of influence by hijacking your vocal opinion. At every opportunity, he seeks to wrap thorn bushes around your neck to minimize your impact and to stop you from creating breakthroughs by your decrees.
You were made with a remarkable, built-in, anointed weapon—your tongue! Your tongue is a weapon so strong that the enemy is in fear of even the slightest use of it.
The Lord asks you, “Why are you not commanding your days? Why are you not speaking order as you rise in the morning? Why do you try to think your way through a crisis, rather than speak for a way to be made open?”
God takes us back today to His interactions with Job in Scripture, where He explains how He commands the morning, that the wickedness might be shaken out of it. As we reflect on our Maker’s words, there is the need to speak over our days as we prepare to fully enter them. Even if this is done on the move, amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, you will still see significant changes to what unfolds in your life, as solutions move from your mind to your mouth for declaration.
Today angels are flying to where you are as you read this, and they are unwinding the cords of constriction from your neck area. There is vocal freedom and healing that is resting upon you so that you will no longer battle to secure an impact.
The Lord says to you today, “Speak, My child, for satan is listening. He wants to know whether you will crush him by your decrees or whether you will empower him by your silence. Satan is attentive to the movements of your mouth.”
Action and Decree
Work with the angelic hosts by unwinding hindrances from your throat. Then stand and make a minimum of eight decrees of things that need to shift in your life. List out loud the solutions, rather than rehearsing the problems.
