In 1996, I had a revelation from Joshua 1:8 that if I put God’s word in my mouth as Joshua did, I would prosper in my pursuit of God and have good success. So I wrote down scriptures that pertained to my identity in Christ and the promises of God that are rightfully ours through Jesus’ blood sacrifice.
As I was reading and speaking these scriptures over myself, trying to build a vision in my own heart about who I am in Him and what I have as a new covenant believer, the Lord interrupted me and said, “What are you doing, Jack?” I replied, “I am speaking your word over my life, Lord.” He said, “You are applying Truth Pressure.” And He stopped talking.
I had never heard that particular phrase before, but I took that as a sure confirmation that what I was doing was biblical. At the time, I didn’t fully understand what Truth Pressure was and how it affects believers, but it changed the trajectory of my life and ministry.
Two words. TRUTH, and PRESSURE. I used to think that speaking God’s word in any way or in any amount was a definition of Truth Pressure, but until recently, I realized that is not the case. You see, when He spoke that to me, I had eight pages of biblical declarations that I would speak and pray over my life DAILY! And it is the DAILY proclamation of truth that makes it TRUTH PRESSURE. Speaking the word is always good, but it is the daily declaring and praying of God’s word that causes us to make our way prosperous and have good success.
Joshua 1:8-9 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Truth Pressure can be defined as this:
The Relentless, Intentional, Daily Application of Truth that Defines Hope, Strengthens Faith, and Brings Divine Cooperation between God and Man.
A few years after that encounter, I was asking God about faith and hope, and how they were connected. He said these words to me: “Hope is a picture that I paint on man’s heart with brush strokes of revelation.”
I didn’t have to think twice to know that didn’t come from my thoughts. I had never heard that before. I didn’t realize at the time, but He was further defining Truth Pressure.
Hope is our spiritual imagination, our spiritual womb. When our hope is clearly defined, our faith then has the ability to bring substance and evidence to the things we are hoping for. If our hope isn’t clearly defined by revelation from God’s word, our faith has nothing clear to bring substance and evidence to. With that in mind, we need to also understand that we use our faith to clarify our image of hope. And this is what Truth Pressure is all about.
Andrew Wommack’s teachings on the power of imagination are what helped put everything into proper perspective for me. You can access his website by clicking on his name, or you can go directly to one of his teachings on The Power of Imagination here.
This is my personalized prayer of declaration and agreement with God that I use daily to bring myself into alignment with His thoughts, define my hope, strengthen my faith, and bring me to a place of Divine Cooperation with the truth of God’s word. Pray it out loud and meditate on the words coming out of your mouth. It will change your life!
Job 22:28 Lord, when I speak and pray Your word, I set myself in complete agreement with You. Your eternal truth is established in me; it becomes a part of me, shaping me, changing me, and strengthening me. It causes light to shine on my way, making my vision, my hope, and my path crystal clear.
Joshua 1:8, John 1:14 Father, your word will not depart from my mouth, but I will meditate on it day and night, that I may believe and do everything that is written in it. When I speak your word and meditate on your word Lord, I become your word. Your word is becoming flesh in my life. I will make my way prosperous, and I will have good success.
Mark 11:23, Proverbs 18:20-21 Father, because of the authority that You have given me, I speak to things and situations, and they obey me. I believe in my heart that the things I say will be done. My words have tremendous authority and power. Death and Life are in the power of my tongue. I steward that power wisely. I use that power to change situations, to help people, to defeat the enemy, to strengthen and establish my hope, and to give You glory. Thank you for giving me the authority to speak on Your behalf. I don’t take this responsibility lightly. I use this authority in the fear and reverence of Your great name.
Proverbs 21:23, Psalm 141:3, James 1:26 I guard my mouth and bridle my tongue, and I keep my soul from trouble. Father, I ask You to set a guard over my mouth and keep watch over the door of my lips.
Ephesians 4:29, Psalm 39:1, Psalm 12:6 I will let no corrupt communication or ungodly words come out of my mouth, but only what is good for necessary edification, that it may minister life and impart your grace to the hearers. I guard my ways, Lord, lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle while the wicked are before me. Your word is pure, like silver tried in a furnace, and purified seven times. I am committed to speaking your word.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Romans 5:5, Mark 12:30-31 Father, because your love has been poured out into my heart, I am patient and kind. I do not envy or boast, and I am not prideful. I do not dishonor others, I am not self-seeking, I am not easily angered, and I keep no record of a suffered wrong. I do not take pleasure in evil, but I rejoice in your truth. I believe the best of every person. I see them for their created value. I see them as your child, and I see them for their potential. I always protect, I always trust, I always hope, and persevere. I never fail, I never stop believing, and I never stop loving. I love you, Lord, with all of my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind and all my strength, and I love my neighbor as myself.
Galatians 5:16-18, Galatians 2:16, 1 Corinthians 15:56-57 I walk in the Spirit, and I do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. I am led by the Holy Spirit, and I am not under the righteous requirements of the law.

I am holy in my conduct as you are holy. I walk in the fear of the Lord.
John 16:13, Colossians 1:9, Acts 1:8 The Spirit of truth is living in me, guiding me into all truth and showing me things to come. I have perfect knowledge of what to do in every situation, and I am filled with all wisdom, discernment, spiritual understanding, and the knowledge of your will for me, Lord. I have received power because the Holy Spirit has come upon me, and I am a witness for Jesus to the end of the Earth.

I am not afraid of evil tidings, and I am not moved by bad reports. My heart is steadfast, trusting in you, Lord.

Lord, I make a conscious decision to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. If there is any virtue or praise, I think about these things. I guard my mind against all doubt and all negative and faithless thoughts. I am a doer of your word, Lord, and your peace abides with me.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Proverbs 4:23 Father, I live and walk in a physical body, but I do not fight against people. The weapons of my warfare are not physical, not carnal, but they are mighty in You for the pulling down of strongholds. So, I cast down every argument and every imagination of the heart that would exalt itself against the knowledge of You and your word. I take every thought captive and bring them into the obedience of Christ. I guard my heart with all diligence because that is where You dwell Lord, and out of my heart flows your light, your power, and your life.
Matthew 10: 7-8, Mark 16:17-18, verse 20, Ephesians 6:10-18. The kingdom of God is at hand.

I am a believer, and in Jesus’ name, I cast out devils; I speak with new tongues. If I touch or consume any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt me. I lay hands on the sick, and they recover.
Philippians 4:19, Romans 8:28 There is no lack in my life, Lord, for you supply all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I love you, Lord, and I am called according to your purpose. All things work together for my good. Everything always works out for me.

They bear me up in their hands lest I dash my foot against a stone. I walk through places that would kill natural people, but I live supernaturally in Christ.
