Psalms 84:10 – “For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
In a recent time of prayer, the Lord gave me permission to speak the word better over my life, family, finances, and ministry. What is God saying? He is saying, “in the midst of chaotic times and shaking I have better for my children.” We do not have to live in fear, but we can pray in faith and expect to experience better things.
Dictionary.com defines the word better as follows:
1. “to increase the good qualities of; make better; improve:
2. to improve upon; surpass; exceed:”
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines better as “to make more tolerable or acceptable, to make more complete or perfect, and to surpass in excellence.”
The Lord desires to bless His children. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Ephesians 1:3 says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.”
The New Testament Book of Hebrews is the book of better things. Hebrews 8:6 says, In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” We can declare better over our lives because we have a better covenant built on better promises.
The Old Testament is filled with miracles. Noah built an ark and he along with his family were saved when God judged the earth with a flood. Moses and the children of Israel witnessed miracles. God brought the ten plagues on the Egyptians and miraculously brought them out of Egypt. He opened the Red Sea, and they walked across on dry ground. He closed the sea and drowned the army of Pharoah. Hebrews 11:29 says, “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.” Joshua and the children of Israel witnessed the opening of the Jordan River at flood time and walked across on dry ground. The Prophets Elijah and Elisha performed miracles and witnessed the supernatural power of God.
All of these were under the Old Covenant. We have a better covenant. If God worked miracles under the Old Covenant, then how much more will He work supernaturally today? We can decree and declare better over every circumstance in our lives.
