Written Words

The Lord quickened the importance of writing down the words that He speaks to us, whether "face-to-face", through a prophetic word delivered by another believer, or in dreams and visions. The significance of the written record is threefold:

1. As a COVENANT with the Lord.
2. As a MEMORIAL before ourselves and the Lord.
3. As a WITNESS

Exod.34:27 - "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Write down (for yourself) these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.'"

Exod.17:14 - "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Write this in a book as a memorial...'"

John 5:39 - "You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me."

A covenant is a written agreement. A memorial is something that keeps remembrance alive, and a witness bears testimony. The Lord would have us know how imperative it is to have a written record of all the words He speaks to us personally and individually, that we may secure our destiny and inherit all that He has appointed for us.

Let us come before the Lord, the Righteous Judge, and remind Him of His words. Let us confirm the covenant He has made with us for our promises, and let us add the testimony of our mouths as we decree His will for us!
