My Comments:
David said of the Lord that His Word was settled for all eternity in heaven. That it is unmovable, unchanging, eternal through all ages.
F.F Bosworth said that "Faith begins where the will of God is known". God's will is revealed in His Word! All His promises have been revealed to us through the Word of God, that has been given to us! We have promises that are settled forever!
However, note what Jesus taught in His lesson on prayer in what we call the Lord's Prayer. He instructed them to pray along this line, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." For Him to say that, it could be said that the will of God was not being accomplished on the earth; and that it could only be accomplished when they prayed.
Based on the above, we see three things:
1. God's Will is revealed in His Word.
2. His Word (or His Will) is forever settled in heaven
3. Jesus said to pray that the Father's Will be done on earth as it is in heaven
The Word of God is full of "exceedingly great and precious promises" for us. We also know that all the promises of God are Yes and Amen. But we can see that that's all they'll ever be, until we pray them down!
Pray this way, that God's promises are already settled in heaven, and that it will be done on the earth in our lives as it has already been done in heaven!
