Acres of Diamonds: God's Best—Right Where You Are! નમૂનો

Speak Out the Promises

Prophecy is a word from God about your future. It’s not about where you are; it’s about where you will be. Where you are may look nothing like acres of diamonds, but you have faith that one day it will. Though God speaks to us any number of ways, the most obvious way is through the Bible. The Word of God is full of promises that we prophesy over our lives.

God told Jeremiah that He watches over His Word to perform it. The most powerful prayer is reminding Him of the promises He made to you in His Word. When God makes a promise, He always keeps it.

This is exactly what Daniel did. We read in the Bible that he waged war in prayer with a prophecy found in the scroll of Jeremiah, which predicted the end of Israel’s seventy-year captivity.

“I’ve been looking at my calendar,” Daniel prayed. “Today is seventy years. What are You going to do about this prophecy that’s been hanging over my head?” God answered by releasing His people from captivity and reestablishing the nation of Israel.

The power of life and death is in the tongue. Speak, because you serve the God of the impossible. Speak, because nothing happens in the spirit world until you open your mouth and say it. Start today and speak life to your dreams, your calling, your family, even your body. Prophesy that the sun is going to shine again and that you will see the goodness of the Lord while you are still alive. It may have been bad, but prophesy that you are coming out of it, that you are about to turn the corner on your miracle. You may have had a setback, you may have messed up, but God is not through with you yet.

Pray today, not for God to give you words of comfort or rest, but to receive fresh words to fight against the enemy. It does not matter how long you’ve been fighting. If the prophecy has not yet come to pass—if you have not yet uncovered acres of diamonds—keep waging the good fight. Stay in the battlefield. God will bring the victory, as He promised.
