Manna for Your Morning

“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” — Matthew 16:19 (NKJV)   Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (Matthew 16:19) May we declare God's Word over earthly situations. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21 NKJV) Speak words of life, God's Word. Forever, His word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable]. (See Psalms 119:89 AMP)

So the LORD was with him, and Hezekiah was successful in everything he did. — 2 Kings 18:7 (NLT) There are 3 things which Hezekiah did that led to His success. He did what was right in the sight of the LORD (2 Kings 18:3, NKJV). He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, and he held fast to Him. Hezekiah did not depart from following the LORD, but kept His commandments (2 Kings 18:5-6, NKJV). When we do what is pleasing in the LORD’s sight, completely trust in God and hold fast to Him, we can be certain that our heavenly Father will guide us along on the pathway to sweet and lasting success. Amen.
