Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. The person making the decree must be in a position of power and authority to do so. You have the power and authority to make decree and expect that they will be carried out. You shall decree, the power is yours, state your case and write out the conditions regarding your home, family, ministry and all that concern you. The words that you speak will be established that means it will be manifested reveal and shown to be true, as you have spoken it. The light shall shine upon thy way, which means there will be enlightment in your mind, and spirit that will cause you to see clearly the path that is laid before you. You will not stumble about in darkness, walk timidly and unsure but will have clarity, purpose, and direction.
