Dear friend,

 

God always blesses obedience. Long ago, in the time of Moses, God promised the nation of Israel that, if the people obeyed Him, He would set Israel high above all nations.

 

Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I am commanding you today, that the Lord your God will put you high above all the nations of the earth.”

Deuteronomy 28:1 (NASB)

 

God promised Israel dominion—but only if the people diligently obeyed God’s commands.  And that’s not all!

 

And all these blessings will come to you and reach you if you obey the Lord your God:

“Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the country.

“Blessed will be the children of your womb, the produce of your ground, and the offspring of your animals: the newborn of your herd and the young of your flock.

“Blessed will be your basket and your kneading bowl.

“Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.

Deuteronomy 28:2-6 (NASB)

 

Part of living in dominion is living in God’s blessings. God wants to bless all that belongs to you. That means a blessing on your home, children, town, nation, food, and travels!

 

I want to encourage you this week to obey God and walk in His dominion!

 

Bless the Lord!

 

Pastor Jo

Pastor Jo emphasizes that a deep belief in God’s love is the foundation for trusting His care and provision. We are encouraged not to become "familiar with doing without," because those who seek the Lord are promised that they will not lack any beneficial thing. Drawing a beautiful comparison, the excerpt notes that while we may think often of those we love most, God’s thoughts toward us are even more numerous than the grains of sand. By recognizing that God is constantly mindful of us, we can confidently talk to Him in prayer, offering our faith and speaking His Word. Ultimately, because we are the focus of His unending affection, we can surrender every concern to Him, resting in the absolute certainty that He cares for us and will lead us into a life of abundance.

Pastor Jo teaches that God is active and alert, watching over His Word to ensure it is performed. Just as Romans 10:10-11 emphasizes that belief in the heart and confession with the mouth lead to salvation without shame, our speech serves as a spiritual "pass key." This key, backed by the Holy Spirit, has the power to open any closed door in our lives. According to Isaiah 55:11, God’s Word never returns void; it always accomplishes His purpose and prospers wherever it is sent. When we speak Scripture with faith, we are using God’s own authority to move forward, knowing He loves to hear His children declare His truths. By aligning our mouths with His promises, we unlock a future where His Word never fails.

Pastor Jo highlights that while we are often "programmed" by the world, we have the power to reprogram our minds through God’s help. Romans 12:2 teaches that transformation begins by changing the way we think, allowing us to discern God’s perfect will. Because God knows us intimately—even our unspoken thoughts as described in Psalm 139—He is our greatest partner in mental renewal. When our thoughts stray from biblical truth, we are encouraged by 2 Corinthians 10:5 to take every thought captive, casting down arguments that contradict God’s knowledge. By commanding our thoughts to submit to the obedience of Christ and agree with His Word, we find a foundation that never fails. Ultimately, aligning our minds with Scripture is the key to walking in the victory and peace God intended for us.

Pastor Jo teaches that God pays close attention to our speech, as both the heart and the mouth are essential for transformation. Just as Romans 10:9-10 explains that salvation requires both believing in the heart and declaring with the mouth, this same principle applies to opening doors for our future. Reflecting on her own journey as a widow, Pastor Jo describes the necessity of writing down scriptures and persistently declaring God's promises even when tempted by doubt. By remaining as persistent as the "energizer bunny" and declaring that God's Word will come to pass, we can line up our future with His power. This year, don't stop speaking the truth; there is supernatural power in the Word of God to bring victory to your life.
