Faith is released by words

What we have to say about our healing can lift us up or bring us down, faith is released by our words – whether it’s faith to be saved, faith to be healed, or faith for any one of God’s provisions. So it’s important that we learn to use words that work for us, not against us. God Word says our words will either make us a victor or keep us captive.

Words like these will make you a victor:

“I am more than a conqueror through Him that loved me and gave Himself for me” [Romans 8:37]. “If God be for me, who can be against me?” [Romans 8:31].

“My Father is greater than all” [John 10:29]. “The name of Jesus has authority and power in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth – among angels, men, and demons. And that Name belongs to me” [Phillipians 2:9, 10; Matthew 28;18]. Speaking the right words – God’s Word – will set you free and keep you free.

But your words can also keep you captive. If you keep talking about how you are defeated, saying “I’ve tried praying, I’m still not healed” or “I stay sick all the time” things will stay the same for you, or get worse.

You see, friends, if we are defeated, we’re defeated by our own lips. People will lay their problems off on the devil or on someone else; sometimes they lay them off on their preacher. But let’s put the blame where it belongs; on ourselves! If I am defeated, I’m the one responsible. If you are defeated you are responsible. Why? We are defeated by our own words. We can speak words to take us up or bring us down.

There is a verse in Proverbs having to do with words that is a favorite of mine. [Proverbs 6:2] says, “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” In my King James Bible it reads, “Thou art taken captive with the words of thy mouth.”

Talking about doubts and fears will destroy your faith. But talking about the healing God is doing for you will increase you faith. Claim your healing, believe in it. Remember, your words are important. Use them to work for you as you receive by faith everything God has already provided for you – your healing.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
