Yes, God has truly ordained that we should walk and operate in His divine power. We are to actually stand out as being different than our unsaved neighbors. But – do we? I think not!

Sad to say, many if not most, Christians don’t look any different than the unsaved people around them. They’re just as sick, broke, depressed, worried, etc. as are the unsaved. So what’s wrong with this picture? Everything!

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) ⁷  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

God clearly says that fear is not of Him yet so many Christians have become expert at worrying about everything imaginable, just like the world. Brothers, and sisters, this ought not so to be because God has so graciously given us everything we need to be victorious on planet earth.

 2 Peter 1:3 (KJV) ³  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Notice that he has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him, through knowledge of His Word, because He and His Word are One.

Then look at this next scripture which Paul so graciously prays for us.

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) ²⁰  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Yes, God is certainly able to exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think but it’s according to the power of His Word that works in us. How much working Word is in you? Now that’s an eye opener!

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (KJV) ⁴  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
⁵  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

God has always expected His Word to go forth with power and in demonstration to show forth His goodness. That’s what the Gospel is meant to do.

Romans 1:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

You see, Jesus used signs, wonders, and miracles as a calling card to get people’s attention and then He could teach them about the Kingdom of God. That’s what we’re to do because Jesus is the Pattern Son and we’re to follow Him.

John 14:12 (KJV) ¹²  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

How on earth are we ever going to do the works of Jesus if we don’t believe that He’s already given us the power? Let’s look as some other scriptures:

Luke 10:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) ¹⁸  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
¹⁹  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
²⁰  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Acts 1:8 (KJV) ⁸  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

You see, the power’s already been given and we need to learn how to walk in it. And here’s the scripture that tells us how:

Philemon 1:6 (KJV) ⁶  That the communication [transfer]of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Our faith becomes effective by acknowledging all the good things that God has already given us. Then we can transfer that power to others and see the manifestation of God’s glory right before our eyes! 

Praise the Lord Jesus for all that He has done for us that we might walk in His power and ability and set this fallen world back on its feet so that God can be glorified throughout all the earth!

Romans 8:11 (KJV) ¹¹  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Sounds like I’m going to be giving a garden lesson but not so. I’m going to be talking about the garden of your heart and the weeds that try to drain your faith. Let’s look at the parable of the Sower in Mark 4.

Mark 4:14-20 (KJV) ¹⁴  The sower soweth the word.
¹⁵  And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. [Means if they don’t understand – Matt. 13:19.]
¹⁶  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
¹⁷  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
¹⁸  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
²⁰  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Matthew 13:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Here we see that the sower is actually sowing God’s Word and it happens to fall on four kinds of soil, which refers to four kinds of hearts. What I want to focus on is the third type of soil where the cares of this world, deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things enter in and choke the Word of God that actually did get into your heart and keeps if from producing. BUT. . .

These are the “weeds” that work night and day to rob you of God’s Word so that it doesn’t take root and produce. And just what are these weeds?

The deceitfulness of riches we can understand because riches have glamour and lure you into lusting after them at every turn. Just turn on the advertisements on TV and you’ll see!

Then we see the lust of other things which is the desire to have “everything” in sight or close to it. But that’s not what I want to focus on. It’s the cares of this world, entering into your heart, that seek to choke the very life out of God’s Word that’s in there.

So what are these cares? They’re the distractions of life that seek to consume us – day and night: our family, job, church activities, hobbies, recreation, etc. None of these things are evil in themselves but if we’re not on guard, we’ll let them rob us of our peace and worse than that, they’ll rob us of our fellowship with the Lord and His Word. That way, we’re weakened and hard pressed to get our faith active enough to get answered prayer.

I noticed this in my life about distractions and purposed not to let them be a hindrance to my faith. I even have a note card right on my kitchen table: Don’t be distracted! I keep it right before my eyes and it has helped tremendously!

Luke 21:34 (KJV) ³⁴  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

The word surfeiting means clutter!  Now that’s very interesting. It refers to all the unessential stuff in our lives that seeks to “clutter” our path and hinder our faith by keeping us focused on the wrong things.

Of course, we have our daily lives to live but we must be aware of distractions that work to usurp the place God’s Word should have in our lives.

If we want God’s best, we must want Him and His Word to be number one! Praise the Lord of Glory!

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
⁶  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Ah-h – modern inventions! What a blessing a GPS can be when you’re headed toward a planned destination. But, there’s an even better GPS that will guide you along life’s path more accurately that a Global Positioning System and that’s God’s Positioning System – His Holy Word!

A GPS is designed to let you know the best route to take when you’re on a trip but it’s conditional upon you doing what you’re told to do. And it’s the same thing with God’s GPS – His Word.

God has already designed His Word to answer every need you’ll ever have but it’s conditional upon you being obedient to what He said and doing it His way! Let’s look at some scriptures.

God will give you a clear path to follow:

Psalm 119:105 (KJV) ¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 18:28 (KJV) ²⁸  For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

God has provided salvation:

Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) ⁹  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
¹⁰  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

God has provided healing:

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) ²⁴  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

God has your back covered:

Isaiah 54:17a (KJV) ¹⁷  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. 

Psalm 91:11 (KJV) ¹¹  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Of course, there are so many more scriptures that show us the way of life via God’s GPS. However, His blessings and promises don’t fall on us like ripe cherries off a tree. We have our part, just as God has His part. He has already done His part by providing everything we’ll ever need to live a victorious life. Now our part is to line up with how He has set it up to work and comply.

Isaiah 1:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP) ¹²  Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
2 Chronicles 16:9a (KJV) ⁹  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. 

Notice that God is always on the lookout to perform His Word but we have to do the confessing so that it gets into the earth and He can move on it.

Let me leave you with this scripture that shows God wanting to cause His Word that we speak to come to pass. This shows that if we follow His way of doing things, we’ll surely arrive at our destination!

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

In order for God’s Word to prosper, we have to speak it out. That’s why I say over and over to get into God’s Word and get His Word into you. That’s when you’ll see the manifestation of His Glory!

Psalm 119:130 (KJV) ¹³⁰  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Psalm 36:9b (KJV) ⁹  … in thy light shall we see light. 
Proverbs 3:23 (KJV) ²³  Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
Proverbs 4:12 (KJV) ¹²  When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

The woman with the issue of blood is one my very favorite narratives because it’s what I call the cliff notes on how to receive divine healing. There’s a lot more to this narrative than I’m going to talk about but I do want to highlight some basic truths about healing.

Mark 5:25-34 (KJV) ²⁵  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
²⁶  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
²⁷  When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
²⁸  For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
²⁹  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
³⁰  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
³¹  And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
³²  And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
³³  But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
³⁴  And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

As we watch this woman with the issue of blood we notice several things. She had this issue for twelve years and had spent all she had on doctors who could do nothing for her but in fact, she got worse.

We also see that she heard of Jesus—what did she hear? Probably:

1 – … that people were getting healed of all kinds of sicknesses and diseases.

2 – … that Jesus never turned anyone away.

3 – … that if she could just get to Jesus she could get her healing.

Having heard all kinds of good things, guess what she probably thought – I could be healed too!

So she said, “If I may but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole!” In fact, she kept saying that – over and over and over ’til she got to Jesus and actually touched His clothes.

When she finally made her way through the crowd and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, she knew immediately that she was healed. And then, just as quickly, Jesus noticed that power had gone out of Him – someone had activated the power in Him!

He then turned to the crowd that was thronging Him and asked who it was that touched Him. Everybody was pushing and shoving Him, but nobody except this woman touched Jesus with the touch of faith and drew on His power to heal. And – she received her healing. Not only that, Jesus said it was her faith that made her whole.

Yes, it was Jesus’ power that actually made the woman whole but without her activating that power with her faith, she never would have received. This clearly shows that God has His part to do, which He has already done. And we have our part, which is to receive what has already been given by God!

So, dear brothers and sisters, what have you been saying? Have you been saying that no plague shall come near you or that you walk in divine health because you’ve already been healed by the stripes of Jesus? Or have you been saying that every time flu season comes around, you get the flu or that in spring YOUR allergies act up? [Why would you want to claim allergies as your very own?]

Do you say that your God supplies everything you need according to His riches in Christ Jesus and that no weapon [lack] formed against you shall prosper? Or do you say that you never have enough money or just when you seem to get ahead, something goes wrong?

As you can see, the common denominator is what you’ve been saying for all these years and you’ve been reaping what you’ve been sowing! If you want what God has promised, you have to make some changes and do what He says to do, namely, speak what you want, not what you have. Speak your goal, not your struggles along the way.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) ⁷  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
²⁴  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Matthew 12:34b (KJV) ³⁴  … for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

As you can see, what’s in your heart in abundance will eventually come out. Get God’s Word in your heart and watch the supernatural take place in your life!

The Name of Jesus – a name like no other. People get saved, healed, and delivered by that Name – the Name that’s above every name that is named. His Name is above sickness, disease, bondage, depression, poverty, sin, and a host of other things, all of which can be named.

Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV) ⁹  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
¹⁰  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
¹¹  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It should really read THE NAME instead of a name. The Name of Jesus has within itself, enough power to do whatever Jesus did while He was here on earth. In fact, when you use the name of Jesus for salvation, healing, deliverance, etc., you are actually doing what Jesus would do if He were here in person.

You see, according to the Greek translation, we have been given power of attorney to use His name to effect a healing and a cure and whatever else we need! How ‘bout that!

Remember, the Name of Jesus was so powerful that the disciples were forbidden to speak in that Name. Of course, they righteously objected and continued to see signs, wonders, and miracles when they used the Name of Jesus.

Acts 4:18-20 (KJV) ¹⁸  And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
¹⁹  But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
²⁰  For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

The Name of Jesus is not a cliché that we tack onto the end of our prayers. Oh no! His Name has power in it. Let me give you some scriptures.

The Name of Jesus in salvation

Acts 4:12 (KJV) ¹²  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) ⁹  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
¹⁰  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

The Name of Jesus is healing

Acts 3:6 (KJV) ⁶  Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Acts 9:34 (KJV) ³⁴  And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Acts 16:18 (KJV) ¹⁸  And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
John 14:12-14 (KJV) ¹²  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
¹³  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Here we see that when we ask in Jesus’ Name – which means to make a demand on the promises of God, He will do it! Awesome!

Philemon 1:6 (KJV) ⁶  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. [Communication means the transfer of your faith.]

You see, the disciples knew what they had in their re-born spirits and they simply released that healing power by using the Name of Jesus and it effected a healing and a cure. We have been given Jesus’ Name to do the same thing.

The Name of Jesus in Prayer

John 16:23-24 (KJV)   ²³  And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
²⁴  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Here we see that when we ask [make a demand on God’s promises] the Father in the Name of Jesus, He will give it to us! Of course, all this is contingent upon asking according to God’s will, which is His Word.

Power in the Name of Jesus

Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) ¹⁸  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
¹⁹  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
²⁰  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Luke 10:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We have legal right to use the Name of Jesus because He has given that power and authority to us.

 Thanksgiving in the Name of Jesus

Hebrews 13:15 (KJV) ¹⁵  By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Oh, how blessed we are to be able to continually give praise and thanksgiving to our Father God in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior!

We truly are blessed above all the people on the face of the earth! Praise the Lord of Glory!

Everyone has an attitude whether it’s good or bad. Your attitude is your outlook and how you behave toward others. It can be one of superiority or arrogance or it can be humble and unassuming. Which one do you have?

Of course, we probably all want to exhibit a good attitude that is accepting of others and only thinks the best of everyone, but in reality, this just isn’t so.

So what can we, as born-again, spirit-filled, Bible-believing Christians, do to change a bad attitude into a good one that shows forth the goodness of God?

First of all, we need to identify just what bad attitudes are and then we can work on how to change them. Let’s look at some scriptures and see what God has to say.

Proverbs 13:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

James 3:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
If you notice, contentions and strife come from pride. What, you say – I’m not in pride! Well, let me give you a definition of pride: pride is self-centeredness! That means when you’re only thinking of yourself, that’s pride, whether it manifests itself in arrogance or in shyness, it’s still self-centeredness because you are the focus of your attention. Let me give you some examples:

Anytime you’re focused on impressing people with how wonderful you are, that’s pride. When you always have to have your way, having to be the one who is right, that’s pride.

Then on the other hand, shyness is pride because a shy person is so focused on what others think of them and always concerned about saying the right thing so they don’t look stupid. That’s pride because it’s focusing on yourself – self-centeredness.

So what’s the problem with pride? The Word says that ONLY with pride comes contention – that means arguing, fighting, saying things that you’ll regret, holding grudges, etc. This is bad, bad, bad! And here’s the bottom line about pride: God hates it!

James 4:6 (KJV) ⁶  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
1 Peter 5:5b (KJV) ⁵  …  for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

The word resist means to actively fight against! Who wants God to actively fight against them! It’s the humble that God gives grace to! Isn’t that what we all want?

Just a side note: humility isn’t self-abasement. It’s thinking of yourself the way God says you are in His Word.

So, how do we keep pride at bay? First all, we’re going to have to deal with pride all throughout our Christian walk because the devil is always looking for an opening into our lives. Don’t give it to him. Just like taking offense is an inroad the enemy uses to trap us, so is pride.

Ask yourself why you get so angry when someone doesn’t agree with you. Why do you care so much about what people are thinking of you [shy people]? It’s your self-centeredness that always wants to have its own way or else! This is a sure way to cut yourself off from the Lord’s help when you desperately need it.

So here’s the good news: we can’t change everybody around us to do what we want because that’s control and control is witchcraft. But we can change ourselves and how we respond to others in all kinds of situations: our spouse, children, family members, co-workers, friends, etc. We can yield to the fruit of self-control which is in us. Plus we can practice the vocabulary of silence by keeping our mouths shut ’til we can trust what will come out. It’s hard to fight with someone who won’t speak or fight back!

And here’s another thing. You can’t just rebuke pride and never have to deal with it again. Pride is part of your carnal, fleshy self – governed by your five physical senses. The way you corral the flesh and harness your emotions is to renew your mind with the Word of God which changes your attitude almost effortlessly because you’ll be focused on God and wanting to be pleasing to Him.

Remember, in the imitable words of that sweet beagle Snoopy: nobody has to like you and you don’t have to care! The only One you should be out to please is God and that takes the pressure off. God loves us in spite of ourselves and that should be more than enough.

Proverbs 16:7 (KJV) ⁷  When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Romans 12:2 (KJV) ²  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) ²³  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

1 Corinthians 3:3 (KJV) ³  For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians 3:3 (AMP) ³  For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?

Proverbs 29:25 (AMP) ²⁵  The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.

In past blogs, I’ve talked about Spirit, Soul, and Body but I want to continue on that topic because there’s so much to know and understand if we’re going to walk in the victory that God has for us.

First of all, let’s review some foundational truths. You are a spirit; that’s the real you. Your spirit is the part of you that came alive to God when you got born-again. You are a new creation, a new species of being that never existed before! That’s how you communicate with God — spirit to Spirit because God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

John 4:24 (KJV) ²⁴  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Next, you have a soul, which is not the same as your spirit. Your soul is your mind, will, emotions, and includes your character, personality, and conscience. More about that later.

The third part of you is your body which houses your spirit and your soul. Your body is governed by your five physical senses and that’s not how you’re to be led. You’re to be led by the Holy Spirit in you. So to recap: you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body – three parts in one, made in the image of God.

When you got born-again, it’s your spirit that changed not your soul or your body. Now your part is to renew or re-educate your soul (your mind) to think the way God thinks, according to His Word. When you do that by getting into God’s Word and getting His Word into you, then your spirit and soul agree with each other and your physical body goes along with it. But if you don’t renew your mind, then your mind will still think the way it thought before you got saved, and that’s not going to agree with your re-born spirit. The result will be conflict.

Your soul (mind) chooses to agree with your re-born spirit or your body, depending on how much your soul is renewed with the Word of God. And you always want your soul to agree with your spirit, not your sense-ruled body.

Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) ²³  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Romans 12:2(KJV) ²  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Since the last three blogs had to do with the words we speak, I want to go a step further and show you one of the most important things you’ll ever learn about spirit, soul, and body. And here it is:

Your re-born spirit’s job is to do what you speak – to do what you have said with the words of your mouth! When you speak words, whether they’re positive or negative, your spirit endeavors to cause those words to come to pass because your spirit, the real you, thinks that what you say is what you want to happen. This is a big “ouchie” if you’ve been saying negative words! That’s why it’s imperative that you only speak words that line up with God’s Word and his way of thinking and doing. If you get hold of this, it will not only change what you say, but it will actually change your circumstances.

Psalm 19:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Think about where you are today in your life: spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. Now think of the words you’ve been confessing regarding those areas – words that you’ve spoken over the years to get where you are today. If you’re honest, this will be an eye-opener! As I’ve said before, simply listen to yourself as you go about your daily life and you’ll see what I mean.

Let me give you some examples: some people say that when spring comes, they always get allergies or their allergies are killing them! How long have they been saying this? Probably for years and look at the harvest they’ve reaped!

Or here’s another one: we can’t afford this or that we never have enough money. How ‘bout this one for seniors: I’m getting old or I’m having a senior moment! I would never let those words come out of my mouth and I’m a “seasoned” citizen and enjoying every minute of it and will ‘til the rapture!

Too many times, and probably most of the time, people say things that, if they thought about it, really don’t want those things to come to pass in their lives. The problem is that we’ve been so programmed by the world’s way of talking and thinking that we fell right into the trap of the devil, who is the god of this world and doing his very best to influence everyone he can with his evil thoughts and ways. Don’t be one of his pawns!

The GOOD NEWS, brothers and sisters, is that we can put a stop to all that by putting God’s Word in our hearts and renewing our minds with His Word. Then when we speak, we’ll be speaking faith-filled words that will change our lives and future. Go for it!

Praise the Lord of Glory!

2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV) ⁴  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
James 4:7 (KJV) ⁷  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Ephesians 4:27 (KJV) ²⁷  Neither give place to the devil.

Continuing along the line of why the words we speak are so important, let’s begin:

1 – Confession of God’s Word affects your future.

This in itself should cause you to perk right up and listen. It’s so true that our actions follow the words we speak. We almost never do anything without first voicing it- whether to ourselves or to others. And yes, we all talk to ourselves! I like to say that I’m my best listener!

Proverbs 14:3b (KJV) ³  … but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Isaiah 46:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Romans 4:17b (KJV) ¹⁷  … even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Matthew 12:34b (KJV) ³⁴  …  for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

As you can see, the words we speak go forth as seeds, looking to produce a harvest. That’s why it’s imperative that we only speak things that we want to manifest in our lives or in the lives of our loved ones. That means we should only speak faith-filled words over our loved ones – and includes us!

The words you speak are projected into your future because your words are containers that contain what’s in your heart. If faith is in your heart, then words [containers] of faith go forth. But if there’s negativity in your heart, those word containers go forth and the results are not pretty.

If you’ve been guilty of saying the wrong words, simply command a crop failure to them and that they come to nought!

Remember, words not spoken die unborn. So don’t let negative thoughts become words that you speak.

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) ²¹  Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

As I’ve said before, listen to yourself as you go through your day as to what actually comes out of your mouth! Rebuke all negativity and speak God’s Words and watch your circumstances change.

2 – And lastly, but not the least of which are the angels of God who listen to your words and act accordingly.

Psalm 91:11 (KJV) ¹¹  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Psalm 103:20 (KJV) ²⁰  Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. [That means the words that we speak.]
Exodus 23:20-21 (KJV) ²⁰  Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
²¹  Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

Hebrews 1:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 2:1-3 (KJV) ¹  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
²  For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
³  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; [Salvation here means preservation, healing, soundness, wholeness, and deliverance from temporary evils.]

Here we see that the angels of God are sent to help us and that they listen to the words that we speak. That’s one of the ways they get their orders. If we speak God’s Word, then they move to cause those words to come to pass. But if we speak negative, devil-words, they stand by and do nothing. They don’t decide whether or not you really mean what you say when you utter fear-based, non-productive words. They just let those words open the door for the devil to move right in and cause them to come to pass.

An example would be when you confess that “nothing ever works out for me” or “that’s killing me” or “that breaks my heart” or “that blows me away.” These are negative words that open the door for the enemy to move in and destroy you. That’s why we’re told to guard what we put in our hearts. As they say, garbage in, garbage out; God’s Word in, God’s word out!

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) ²³  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

So, dear brothers and sisters, I hope I’ve given you some things to think about in these three blogs concerning the words you speak. May you listen attentively to what you say, purpose in your heart to say what God says, and reap His benefits so you can be a blessing to others!

Continuing along the line I started in Part I, let me reiterate that the words we speak will either minister life or minister death. This is the law of sowing and reaping and it’s a law in the earth. That’s why it’s imperative that you speak words that are in line with God’s Word and not the world’s words which are actually the devil’s words.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
⁷  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

1 – Speaking or confessing God’s Word keeps it in the forefront of your thinking and helps in renewing your mind to His Word and keeps the solution in front of you. If His Word is ever before you, that’s what you’ll think on. But if you let the problems of this life and its distractions blur your vision and cloud your thinking, that’s what you’ll get. Remember, God’s Word has to be priority in your life if you want to walk in God’s best!

Romans 12:2 (KJV) ²  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
James 1:21 (KJV) ²¹  Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. [your mind]
Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) ²³  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

When we get saved, we then have job of renewing our minds (our souls) to God’s Word so that we speak what He speaks instead of what the devil speaks. We do this by getting into God’s Word and studying and studying and studying and hearing and hearing and hearing. We’ll never get to a place on planet earth where we’ll have too much Word in us! And just for the record, there are layers and layers of revelation in God’s Word and I believe it will take all eternity for God to reveal it to us. How awesome is that!

2 – Confession of God’s Word releases faith to activate the power of God.

Once you know what God has said and you are on the “renewal road” of lining up with God’s Word, you have to learn how to release His Word that’s in you to cause the manifestation to come forth. This is how you do it:

Just as you sow the seed of God’s Word into you, so it is with watering the seed – you speak it, say it, confess it. Then when you’ve done this over a period of time and your mind is getting renewed to the “new way of thinking,” you simply speak forth the Word that’s in you and BOOM, it comes out with power – the dunamis power of God! Why? Because it’s been in you marinating and developing and getting stronger with all the watering and confessing, and then when you speak, your faith activates it and it comes alive with power! Wow – this is super great!

3 – Faith-filled confession of God’s Word propels the Word out into the physical realm and keeps working until the manifestation comes.

Matthew 24:35 (KJV) ³⁵  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

I’m so glad God’s Word is forever and ever and will never pass away. We can count on it throughout all eternity.

The faith-filled words you speak, those based on God’s Word, never disintegrate, evaporate, or dissolve. They stay out there working night and day to cause the manifestation to come as long as you stay in faith. That’s why we must never give up and quit because in one hour things can change!

Think of the times you got an answer and thought, “What if I had quit just hours before the manifestation!”  You see, when you pray in faith, the Holy Spirit will direct your spirit to lead you to the solution, causing your words to come to pass. Now that’s awesome!

Here are some more scriptures to think about.

Matthew 12:34b (KJV) ³⁴  … for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Matthew 12:37 (KJV) ³⁷  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
²⁴  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

There’s an expression that says you are what you eat. And yes that’s true, but an even more important expression is that you are what your words say you are, you have what your words say you have, and you can do what your words say you can do. In other words, what you say with your words determines how your life goes.

Because God’s Word tells us that we’ll reap what we sow, did you know that when you speak, you’re actually “sowing seeds” for your future? Wow – think about that and then think about the words that come out of your mouth on a daily basis! Do you really want those words to come to pass in your life? Probably not if you haven’t yet learned to guard your mouth.

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) ⁷  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Galatians 6:7a (Phillips NT) ⁷  Don’t be under any illusion: you cannot make a fool of God! A man’s harvest in life will depend entirely on what he sows. 
Galatians 6:7 (AMP) ⁷  Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.

Since what we speak is so important to our lives, how much more is it necessary to speak God’s Words daily instead of all the unbelief that’s continually inundating us – the news, social media, our family, our friends, etc.

When we speak God’s Word, we call it confessing the Word because we’re saying what God says and that can only be good. So, let’s look at some of the reasons why it’s of the utmost importance to confess God’s Word over our lives instead of the devil’s words of unbelief.

1 – Confessing God’s Word is the voice of our faith and it’s the same thing that God would say!

That in itself is awesome – to actually say the same thing that Almighty God would say! But that’s not all. When you say what God says, you get what God would get! Now that’s something to shout about! Of course, we’re talking about speaking His Word in faith which comes by hearing and hearing, and hearing His Word.

Romans 10:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Matthew 12:34b (KJV) ³⁴  … for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Matthew 12:37 (KJV) ³⁷  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

You see, what’s in your heart in abundance is what will come out of your mouth especially in a time of crisis. And that’s when you want God’s Word coming out, not the negativity of the world. Purpose in your heart to listen to what comes out of your mouth daily and then maybe practice the vocabulary of silence for a while ‘til you can trust your mouth to speak correctly. Anything contrary to God’s Word is really a curse and you don’t want to be constantly cursing yourself, your family, your job, etc.

This is so good that if I stopped right here, you could meditate on this for days. But let me give you one more reason to speak God’s Word instead of the negative words of the enemy.

2 – Confessing God’s Word continually, gets it down into your heart where it can get rooted and developed, and then when it’s rooted and developed, it will come out of your mouth with power and produce what it was sent to do! Double wow!

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Jeremiah 1:12 (KJV) ¹²  Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP) ¹²  Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.

God is watching over His Word to cause it to come to pass in the lives of those who will speak it forth in faith. Don’t ever let death or fear-filled words come out of your mouth: that’s killing me, thought I’d die, broke my heart, blew me away, etc. I think you can come up with many more.

Be a “Word-talking” child of God and watch what God will do in your life!
