2-24-08 Isaiah 65:16 Blessed By The God of Truth
Isaiah 65:16 (NAS)
Because he who is blessed in the earth Shall be blessed by the God of truth; And he who swears in the earth Shall swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight!
Isaiah 65:16 (NLT)
All who invoke a blessing or take an oath will do so by the God of truth. For I will put aside my anger and forget the evil of earlier days.

It has become easy for you to speak blessings over others and God is pleased with that. However, you must also learn to speak blessing over your own life, for it is the blessing of the Lord that enriches your life. Like Abraham, God desires to bless you so that you can be a blessing to others.
What words do you use to invoke the Almighty's blessing? You use the words that He has spoken about you. God's words, which are true and faithful, confirm and support, uphold and nourish you. As you agree with the Lord's declarations and promises, you are firmly established; you stand and endure. Therefore, it is important that you trust in and believe every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah.
If you are ever called upon to swear an oath, you must swear only according to the Word of God. To do otherwise means that you are agreeing with a lie and falsehood. If your words are not based on truth, your words and oaths become curses and not blessings.
Do not forget what the Lord has done for you. God has delivered you from your former troubles and released you from your bonds. Your life used to be narrow and cramped, but now He has enlarged your territory. Your enemies no longer vex and press hard upon you.
The Lord Godi, however, has forgotten how you used to live. He has hidden and concealed the sin in which you walked; He no longer sees your transgressions and trespasses. Now when He looks upon you, He sees only His truth active in you and that is how you must see yourself. It is the truth of God's word that has set you free and it is the Truth that will keep you free
