Which Truth Makes Your Free?

How many times have you heard that the truth will make you free? I’ve even heard it said on secular TV programs! People quote it all the time and I wonder how many really know what it means. Do you know what it means? Let me explain what I believe Jesus meant when He said it in John 8:32. Let’s start with verse 31:

John 8:31-32 (KJV) 31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

If you’ll notice, Jesus says that if you continue in His Word, then you shall know the truth that makes you free. What does He mean by continuing in His Word? Continue means to persist in a thing, to endure. But I like to say it this way: it means to hang in there no matter what!

To continue in God’s Word means that you value and honor it. It’s not just something you read once and then go on your way or something you hear in a Sunday morning service. You don’t give up on His Word when your prayers seem to go unanswered. You’re in it for the long haul!

God’s Word is everlasting and for all times. It’s the Word that has gone forth from His mouth to provide everything you’ll ever need in this life and for all eternity. It’s the very necessity that will put you over in this life and give you the victory in every situation, if you’ll continue in it.

Truth is not just something that’s true. There are a lot of facts out there but only one TRUTH and that’s the Word of God. It’s the only TRUTH that never fails and is backed up by Almighty God Himself. Why would anyone want to put their trust in something that’s going to decay and fade away?

And it’s not just knowing the truth of God’s Word but actually walking in it. Yes, we need to believe His Word but in order for it to operate in our lives, we have to walk in it and make it part of everything we do. Then we will know His TRUTH and that TRUTH will indeed make us free!

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.

John 8:31-32 (KJV) 31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Is Your Experience Distracting You from Believing God’s Word?

If you ask any Christian about whether or not they believe God’s Word, the answer would be yes. That’s because God’s Word is the very foundation upon which our faith is based. That’s good and as it should be. But—

What happens when you pray and pray about something and it doesn’t turn out the way you wanted? Do you still believe God’s Word or do you “edit” it to agree with your experience? This is wrong!

God’s Word isn’t based on your experience not does it depend on what you experience. God’s Word is the incorruptible Word of Almighty God and is forever settled in Heaven. It has stood the test of time and will forever be true—throughout all eternity.

Too many times people (Christians included) have based what they believe on their experience. This is contrary to the Word of God and will never get you the desired results. Nowhere in the Bible does God tell us to go by our experience. That would be disastrous because that’s the arena of the devil—the carnal world, the flesh, the physical conditions.

God moves in the spirit realm and that’s where born-again, Spirit-filled believers are supposed to move. We have the Holy Spirit residing in us to lead and guide us. Our part is to listen and obey. God said that if we are willing and obedient we shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1:12). Who doesn’t want that!

God isn’t moved by our experience. His Word is true and He backs it up totally. We should have that same mind set: that we believe and stand on God’s Word no matter what our experience happens to be. We aren’t perfect and miss it more times than we care to admit. God never misses it. Which testimony should you believe?

Remember, God is faithful, faithful, faithful! If things didn’t work out the way you anticipated, continue to believe God’s incorruptible Word and let Him keep you in perfect peace.

Isaiah 1:19 (KJV) 19  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Psalm 119:89 (KJV) 89  For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

John 14:16 (KJV) 16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 16:13 (KJV) 13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1 John 2:20 (KJV) 20  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

What Do You Do When Your Prayers Don’t Seem to get Answered?

So, you’ve prayed and prayed and waited and waited but still no manifestation of answered prayer. What do you do? Or rather, what should you do?

First of all, don’t quit! That’s a sure-fire way to never get your answer. Maybe you’ve been praying for a long, long time about a certain situation and things just don’t seem to be getting better. Still, the key is to NOT QUIT! Keep on believing!

Remember, God looks at the heart—not at the results. It’s faith that pleases Him and regardless of whether or not you ever see manifestation of what you’ve been praying about, keep walking by faith and believing for the manifestation. That’s what pleases God and He’s the One who counts. He’s the One we want to please.

Of course, we all want manifestation of answered prayer. That’s the whole reason we’re praying about it in the first place. But many times, our time table is not set by us. We always want instant everything and rightly so. But it doesn’t always happen that way. That’s where our faith has to be strong and fixed on God’s promises. His Word always works in spite of what we think.

Standing on God’s Word is the best place to be and the only way to receive the answer to our prayers. He said His Word would not return to Him void without accomplishing what He sent it forth to do. Our part is to believe and receive and continue standing until we see the manifestation of what we have prayed about.

Unfortunately, many people blame God when they don’t get the answer they want. It’s never God Who’s at fault. His Word always works but we have to work the Word. We have our part to do. God won’t do our part and we can’t do His part. But, working together, we can get the job done!

Keeping walking by faith and see the glory of God right before your eyes!

1 Samuel 16:7b (KJV)  … for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) 7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

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.

Numbers 23:19 (KJV) 19  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) 20  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

How’s Your Strength?

Proverbs 24:10 (KJV) 10  If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

As Christians, we want to believe that we are strong and able to stand up under the greatest of pressures. After all, we’re believers and that’s what we do – believe. But do we really believe and walk-out what we purport to believe?

Of course it’s easy to be strong when everything around us is going well. But what happens when we get thrown a curve ball? What do we do when problems and crises arise unexpectedly and catch us off-guard?

In those cases, do you stand firm on God’s eternal Word that you say you believe? Or do you fall apart like a two dollar suitcase, not even able to help yourself, let alone someone else?

God’s Word says that He gives power to the faint and to those who have no might, He increases strength (Isaiah 40:29). He also tells us that He always causes us to triumph in Christ, the Anointed One and His Anointing (II Corinthians 2:14). And He hasn’t changed!

Remember, the circumstances, no matter what they are or what the outcome is, never change God’s Word. His Word is eternal and has as much power in it today as it had when He first spoke it.

And another thing: our experiences never change God’s Word. His Word operates independent of our experience. HisWord is meant to change our circumstances and when spoken in faith, forces the circumstances to change. It’s incorruptible seed and makes a demand on the soil in which it’s planted. That’s why it’s so important to continually plant the Word in your heart so that when bad situations arise, the Word that’s been planted in your heart will burst forth and see you through.

Our part is to trust God and His Word. His part is to perform His every Word, which He has always done and will continue doing throughout all eternity.

As we grow and develop in the Word of God, we will experience more and more of the results He expects for us. Praise the Lord!

Isaiah 40:29 (KJV) 29  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV)14  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Hebrews 13:5b (KJV)5  … for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Malachi 3:6a (KJV) 6  For I am the LORD, I change not;

1 Peter 1:23 (KJV)23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Isaiah 55:8-11 (KJV)8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10  For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 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.

Are You Suffering from Spiritual Malnutrition?

Matthew 4:4 (KJV)
4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Jesus said, “I am the bread of life!”

John 6:35 (KJV)
35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

As Americans, we can say, for the most part, that we have plenty to eat and we do it very well, even to excess! And as you know, that can be harmful. In fact, the acronym for the Standard American Diet is SAD! And sad it is. People eat and eat and eat but are they getting the nutrition they need to be healthy? I wonder and I think not. Of course that can change but it takes effort, commitment, and diligence to stick to it.

Enough said but I wanted to use that as an example of what happens in the spirit realm. God uses natural things to explain spiritual things. Just as we need to feed our bodies, we most definitely have to feed our spiritual bodies – our reborn human spirit. And the food we must feed it is God’s Word.

Just as your physical body will eventually die if you starve it long enough, so it is with your spirit. It won’t die but it will remain emaciated and virtually unable to help you in the realm of life here on planet earth.

Romans 8:14 (KJV)
14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

God intends for you to live from the inside out – being led by your spirit under the direction of the Holy Spirit. But the only way you can trust your spirit is to continually feed on the God’s Word. It’s more than mental assent which acknowledges that God’s Word is true but goes no further, not acting on it.

By feeding on the Word of God continually and acting on it, will get it down into your reborn spirit where it can develop and mature. When that happens, you’ll begin to speak God’s Word with power and authority and see circumstances change.

Feeding on the Word takes commitment, diligence, study, meditation, and doing the Word. That’s how you get it from your head into your heart. And that’s when supernatural things happen.

God’s Word always works but we have to work the Word.

John 1:1 (KJV)
1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 (KJV)
14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Where is My Answer?

How many times have you thought, “Where’s my answer? Why is it taking so long?” The truth is that these are the wrong kinds of questions to ask. If you have to ask that question, you’re not in faith. I know that sounds harsh but it’s true.

If you’re looking at the circumstances to determine what God is doing about your problem, you’ve missed it and you’re not in faith.

Faith doesn’t look at the circumstances to determine anything. It looks beyond the circumstances to what God has already said about your problem and receives the answer.

In Romans 4:17 we see that God calls things that are not as though they were.

Romans 4:17b (KJV) 17  … even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Then in Isaiah we read that God declares the end from the beginning.

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:

God doesn’t look at the circumstances to determine what He wants. He looks at the answer and calls it in. What if He had looked at the darkness and said, “Wow, it’s dark out there!” It would have stayed dark. That wouldn’t have produced light. But He didn’t do that. He looked and said, “Light be!” And, as you know, light was!

Genesis 1:3 (YLT) 3  and God saith, `Let light be;’ and light is.

Even when you don’t see any signs of manifestation, you must keep focused on the Word that you have prayed and know that God always honors His Word that you have prayed in faith. His Word always works but we have to believe and receive. We have our part to do and God will always do His part. He is faithful, faithful, faithful!

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 you receive them and you shall have them.

If Answers to Prayer Were in the Abundance of Words, We’d All Be Spiritual Giants!

How many times have you heard someone pray and wondered when they were going to stop? How many times have you prayed on and on and on and on, hoping that your answer was directly proportional to the amount of “spiritual” words you used? That’s not how to get answered prayer. Let’s look at what God has to say.

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.

Proverbs 10:19a (KJV) 19  In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin…

Ecclesiastes 5:3b (KJV) 3 … a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

First of all, whatever is not of faith is sin and without faith, we can’t please God. Therefore, whatever we do – or pray – has to be in faith or it’s to no avail.

Romans 14:23b (KJV) 23  … for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Too many times we think that we have to explain every detail to the Lord in order for Him to fully understand why we’re making our request. Really!!!  He already knows what we need and how to supply that need. Our part is to ask in faith. Sounds simple but few do it. I’ve witnessed over and over prayers that were just babbling or complaining and not in faith. Those prayers don’t get answered because they’re not prayed according to the will of God, nor is there any faith in them.

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) 14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

And another thing . . .  flowery words don’t cut it with God. He looks at your heart and simplicity is all that is needed. Speak God’s Word in faith, making your request, and He said that He will hear and answer. How easy is that!

Matthew 6:7-8 (KJV) 7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things you have need of before you ask Him.

Don’t Judge God’s Faithfulness by What You See People Do!

1 Corinthians 1:9 (KJV) 9  God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

The bottom line is that God is faithful—no matter what! That’s because it’s His nature. Just as we are human beings with certain attributes, one of God’s attributes is that He is faithful, faithful, faithful. If you ever lose sight of this, it will open the door for fear to come in and fear, as you know, will negate your faith. That’s not a place you ever want to be.

Having said that, why do people judge God’s faithfulness by what they see with their five physical senses? If they see something bad happen, they either think God had something to do with it, having some redemptive reason in mind, or they think that He didn’t answer their prayers. Both of these notions are wrong.

Whether or not anyone ever does anything right, does not change God. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever!

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) 8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

So, you’re probably wondering why it seems that some prayers get answered and some don’t. That’s a good question. Let’s go to God’s Word and see what He has to say about it.

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) 14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

1 – God said that if we ask according to His will, He hears us.

2 – Then if we know that He hears us, we have the petitions we desire.

Now, let’s look at number one. If we ask according to His will, He hears us. That’s where most of the problem lies. People don’t ask according to God’s will because they don’t know His will. But His will is easy to know – His Word is His will! However, if you don’t know the Word of God, you’re at a loss!

That’s why it behooves us to get into God’s Word and study it to find out what His will is. Then when we pray according to His will, we know that He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, it’s a given that we will get the desired results.

Being a believing Christian and a doer of the Word, takes time and effort. Many people don’t want to put in the time and effort. They want someone else to do their praying for them and get their results. That’s not how it works. Following God and being a doer of the Word is the only way to live victoriously in this life. But it’s worth every minute!

James 1:25 (KJV) 25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Having done what the Word says in I John 5:14-15, we can be assured that God will be faithful to answer our prayers. He always answers prayers prayed in faith.

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.

Romans 3:3 (KJV) 3  For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

2 Timothy 2:13 (KJV) 13  If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

God loves us and He’s faithful; faithful, faithful – now and forever!

The Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Learn

A man of God once said that the greatest thing he ever learned was that God is smarter than he was. I absolutely agree and will show you what this actually means.

Of course, as Christians, we know that God is smarter than we are but do we really believe it? What? Of course we do! I wonder. Let’s explore this whole idea of God being smarter than we are. If we really believe that God is indeed smarter, than we need to find out what He has to say about the whole matter.

What about healing? God’s Word says that by the stripes of Jesus you’ve already been healed—that healing was bought and paid for by the Lord Jesus. But do you really believe that? What do you do when sickness or disease attacks your body? Is your first line of defense going to God and His Word to get scriptures to stand on? Or do you automatically run to the world’s way of doing things? Going to God first should always be the first thing you do. He will lead you in what to do. But of course, you have to first of all trust Him to KNOW what He’s doing. How can we say we put God first when, in fact, we don’t?

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.

Mark 16:18 (KJV) 18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Now, please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. Using the world’s methods are not necessarily wrong, and in many cases, can save lives. I’m just saying that we ought to connect with the Lord first and find out what He has to say. And as you know, much of the time praying and seeking the Lord’s help is usually a last ditch effort to get well. This ought not to be.

Then there’s a matter of finances. What happens when a financial need arises? Have you prepared ahead of time by your tithes and offerings? God’s Word is replete with promises to the tither and giver. But do you actually believe it?

Luke 6:38 (KJV) 38  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (KJV) 6  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.8  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

 Malachi 3:10-11 (KJV) 10  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11  And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

If we really believe that God is smarter than we are, then it behooves us to do what He says. He has the Best Plan that we could ever need. Why do we exhaust all worldly avenues before going to God and His ways? To me, that’s spinning your wheels – you’re moving but going nowhere.

And, what about depression—an affliction that affects many people, even Christians. The first line of defense should not be to go to a therapist. Jesus said that His peace would keep your hearts and minds when you keep your mind on Him. Do you believe it or not? Because Jesus told us to let not our hearts be troubled, then we are capable of keeping our hearts from being troubled.

Philippians 4:4-7 (KJV) 4  Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5  Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

John 14:1 (KJV) 1  Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:27 (KJV) 27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) 3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

So, what’s the problem? Why is it imperative to go to God first instead of the world? Here’s the answer: Faith is the key to receiving everything from God. And the way to develop your faith is to get into the Word of God and get His Word into you. That won’t happen by accident. You have to, on purpose, get into the Word, study, meditate, confess, and do. Going to the world’s ways first, won’t set you up for receiving God’s help because that’s not the way to develop your faith.

And while I’m on it, the worst time to try to develop your faith is in the midst of an attack, problem, or situation that warrants massive help. Develop your faith while things are going right, while all is well. Then when a problem rears its ugly head, you can blast it out with your faith!

Remember, God is smarter than you are and He always has the best way to go! We’re just not smart enough and we definitely don’t know everything, but we know the One Who does, and He is always open for business! All the praise, all the honor, all the glory be to our great and good God!

God’s Promises Have No Expiration Date!

How many times have you checked the expiration date on a food item and found that it had expired and had to be thrown out? One of the first things I check before purchasing a food item is to check the expiration date. That way I have some idea regarding how quickly I must use it. Most likely, you do the same thing. Why is that?

Of course, we know the answer to that question—we don’t want to waste our money on something that will only last a few days, unless we plan to use it quickly.

But, did you ever think about God’s promises in that way? There are no expiration dates on His promises as some would have you think. God’s promises are always YES and His Word is forever settled in Heaven. Sounds like no expiration date to me!

Now, let’s go to His Word and check this out for ourselves.

Psalm 89:34 (KJV) 34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Psalm 119:89 (KJV)89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) 20  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

2 Peter 1:3-4 (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:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

There are those who would have you believe that healings and miracles have passed away, but as you can see, that’s not true. Everything we’ll ever need has already been given to us by Almighty God. He couldn’t give us anymore because He’s already given us everything!

All means all and forever means forever! That should settle the matter. So…what’s the problem? If everything’s been given and all God’s promises are still viable today, why aren’t we seeing more healings and miracles in our lives? I think I can shed some light on this.

Remember, faith is the only way to please God and without faith, you cannot access His promises. Everything in the Kingdom of God works by faith.

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.

When you make a quality decision to believe God’s Word by faith and continue in it, you can rightfully access all the promises and expect to receive the results. But this takes time to develop. Not every result is instantaneous. That’s not God’s fault but ours. This really takes more explanation but here it is in a nutshell.

John 15:5,7 (KJV) 5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

There are some conditions upon which we receive the promises. The problem is not with the giving because God’s already given. The problem lies in the receiving of them. Jesus said that you have to abide in Him and His Word has to abide in you. Then, when you ask something of the Father, He will give it to you because you will be asking according to the Word that’s in you. You can’t request anything of God that’s outside His Word or that contradicts His Word and then expect to receive it. But, why would you? Everything outside His Word is where the devil is reigning and that’s all evil, destructive, and deadly.

So, there you have it. Get God’s Word into your heart by confession, meditation, and doing it. Let it develop in you and then when you get filled up, it will come out with power and manifestation of the things you want.
