The Words That I Speak

Image
THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK.      Where do they originate?     Are we speaking out of our own  HEART ..  And God has said nothing? (Eze13:1-9)     Or are we speaking what we hear of our Father… …the breath of life from the Spirit? (Jn8:26,40;Jn14:24)     2Cor4:13;Ps116:10 “I believed… and therefore have I spoken’… we also believe… and therefore speak”     Can you really train yourself to speak differently, when you doubt it in your heart? (Mk11:23)     I've heard it said,  “CHANGE YOUR CONFESSION”     That may be true… BUT…REMEMBER:    “…every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race… BUT NO ONE CAN TAME THE HUMAN TONGUE, it is a restless evil [undisciplined, unstable], full of deadly poison.” Jas3:8AMP)     Since, “out of the abundance of the  HEART  the mouth speaks” (Mtt12:34;Lk6:45)     AND… “A g...

WHAT DO YOU REALLY HAVE?

  WHAT DO YOU REALLY HAVE?     I HAVE  “_____  (insert name of problem, malady, fault,  sickness, disease, here) ______ ”     “…out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Mtt12:34;Lk6:45)     You believe that  YOU HAVE  whatever it is.      Your heart is filled with the belief of that.      You do not doubt it…   …otherwise, you would not have said it.      Mk11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever  SAYS to this mountain,  'Be removed and be cast into the sea,'  AND DOES NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, ,  but  BELIEVES  that  THOSE THINGS HE SAYS will be done,  HE WILL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAYS .”     WAIT!!!     I thought  YOU   HAVE CHRIST…  THE MESSIAH… The Deliverer… The Healer…  The King… IN YOU!     Pr6:2-3 “You have been snared with the words of your mouth… …Do this then, my s...

Some Assembly Required

Image
  Have you ever bought something you had to assemble?     You bring home a bicycle in a box and tell the kids, “Hey, look… you have a new bike!”     Everyone excitedly passes that box saying, “we have a new bicycle.”     Eventually, you set aside “an hour” to assemble what is in the box.      You find yourself sitting with Hundreds of pieces strewn across the floor, attempting to decipher instructions and illustrations you swear were to another product altogether.      After a grueling day and a half, All the parts are properly connected and tightened to work together efficiently and smoothly.      Finally… you have a fully functional bicycle.      1 Corinthians 12:18  “…God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him”.     Ezekiel 37:7–8 “…and the bones came together,  bone to his bone.” And… lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them,...

GO, FIGHT, WIN!

Image
GO, FIGHT, WIN!   With what or whom are we competing... If we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood? What would happen if we truly believed that we had more might, strength, and power than ANY AND ALL power, principality, ruler, might, or dominion?  What if we really believed that we are in a battle... A wrestling match... Or a race... and that if we truly understood that we were sent by our KING to represent HIS KINGDOM in this race KNOWING that we were THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED to win... To tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy and NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HARM US? What would happen if we really understood that, "my life is hid with Christ IN God"... And that the "life that I now live in the flesh, I live... by the faith ... OF ... the Son of God"? - I now live by what HE BELIEVES! How would I view each precious day if I realized that all that needed to be done to win was already accomplished,  and that all authority in heaven and on ear...

Set Yourself

Image
  There are a lot of weapons we have at our disposal for spiritual warfare.     However, none are effective unless you TAKE A STAND!  IT IS A DECISION in which you are immovable and unshakable,  regardless of what you see… hear… or feel!   2 Chronicles 20:17 “You shall not need to fight in this battle:  SET YOURSELVES,  stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you.”   1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye,  stand   fast  in the faith, quit you like men, be strong   Again… Faith is not a decision, it is a place from which decisions are made.  It is a place where you “ withstand  (anthistemi – stand against, oppose) in the evil day, and having done all,  to   stand  (histemi _ actively stand forth, establish).   STAND   THEREFORE …!” (Eph6:10-18)   1 Peter 5:8–9  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about...

Polished Arrow

Image
  POLISHED ARROW   As a son of God we were created to speak for our Father… from His perspective… to bring His Kingdom wherever we are.   We are sent with His authority to represent Him and speak what He says to effect the liberty and wholeness that comes with His rule and reign.   Isa 49:1–2  … The LORD hath called me from the womb… …And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword;  in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me,  and made me a polished shaft;  in his quiver hath he hid me;   He says of you: “Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms.” (Jer51:20)   “Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.”  (Ps144:1)   “And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.” (Lev26:8) ...

Let Me Show You

Yahweh, God does not send you forth when YOU are ready.      He sends you when HE is ready.     So often we feel INADEQUATE, DISQUALIFIED, AND UNPREPARED.      We feel the need to be prayed up, studied up, practiced up, fasted up, and so mentally prepared that we are psyched up, so we can be thrust from the shadows into the light of our full purpose… all the while forgetting that we are “complete in HIM.” (Col 2:10)     You are HIS WORKMANSHIP (Eph 2:10)     You HAVE BEEN “prepared unto every good work.” (2Tim 2;21)   …BY HIM…      YOU ARE NOT THE HOPE OF GLORY … IT IS CHRIST IN YOU! (Col 1:27)     He just wants you to simply “hear the word at MY mouth, and give them warning FROM ME.” “…when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them…” (Eze 3:17)     We are not sent to showcase us… but RE-PRESENT HIM.      John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent spea...
