This is wonderful declaration to make over your life. If you will do it, your spirit will plan ways to get you to meet with God. Your spirit, that dwells where the Holy Spirit dwells, will get together and make plans for you to get closer to God than you have ever been before. Start speaking out of your mouth:
God’s thoughts are my thoughts.
God’s ways are my ways.
God’s plans are my plans.
God’s purposes are my purposes.

As you do that, you’re going to find yourself desiring to study the Word of God and pray. It’s probably not going to happen over night, but over a period of days, you’re going to see it working in your life. You’re getting in agreement with God. You’re giving Him something to work with. You’re showing Him that you want to do this and that you desire to get closer to Him. You’re saying that you want to see it happen in your life so you can be where God wants you to be.
Though this may sound elementary, it is profound. It will put you in a place where you desire God more than ever before. You’ll want to pray. You’ll want to study the Word like never before.
If you want to get really bold, you add 8 chapters to your Bible reading a day. And read the New Testament all the way through in 30 days. If you can’t do eight chapters, do four chapters. If you can’t do four chapters, do two chapters. And read it, not like any other book or like a task. Before you start reading, you ask God to bring you revelation of His Word.
The Lord taught me this years ago.
When I started reading the Word, I could tell where it was located in the Bible. I knew the chapter and the verse. But then as I continued in it, the Lord saw I was serious and began to give me revelation of scriptures that I had never seen before.
Remember when the Lord Jesus appeared to Dad Hagin in Broken Bow, Oklahoma? The Lord was teaching him how he had authority over devils, and Dad Hagin spoke up and said, “Lord, I’ve read the New Testament through 150 times and portions of it more than that, and if there’s anything in there like that, I sure don’t know it.”
The Lord was kind and just told him, “There’s a lot of things in that there you don’t know.”
Dad Hagin had information, but he didn’t have revelation. But it became revelation. If you will read the Bible and ask God to reveal to you things and truths in there, He will. It will no longer become a chore to do; it will be a pleasure. You’ll have a desire to do it. The Lord will reveal things to you. He’ll wake you up and show you things. He’ll show you things about your family. He’ll show you things to pray about. He’ll show you all kinds of things.
If you’re not praying like you want to or reading the Word like you want to, I encourage you to pick this up. Make that declaration over your life on a continual basis, and you’re going to see things change. God is with us!
