Jlaw,
I know it's been a long time since anyone posted in this thread, but in my second post here (#30), I mentioned that I was going to try to get permission to reprint a part of Darlene Bishop's wonderful book entitled,
Your Life Follows Your Words.
I just now received a reply to my request, and I have been given permission. So for you and anyone else who was interested, here it is.
The decree is formed, based on
Job 22:28:
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
I AM SAVED
For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved
(Romans 10:13)
I AM HEALED
...by His striped we are healed
(Isaiah 53:5b)
I AM DELIVERED
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly ...
(2 Peter 2:9a)
I AM PROTECTED
The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.
(Psalm 34:7)
I AM PRESERVED
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
(Psalm 121:7)
I AM MADE WHOLE
The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
(Psalm 34:10)
I have this printed out and hanging in several places around the house and every day (sometimes more than once a day), I speak the decree out loud, including scriptures.
I start by sayng,
It is written, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."
Threfore, I decree that I am saved, because it is written, "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall eb saved." I decree that I am healed, because it is written ... etc.
The rest of the book is so encouraging, too. She has some amazing testimonies of miraculous healings within her family, including her own from breast cancer. Her brother's throat cancer, and illnesses of her mother and two of her children. This woman knows what she's talking about. I highly recommend it.
Be blessed, Jlaw.
