Are You a Victim of Identity Theft?

Just what is identity theft? It’s when someone steals your true identity and robs you of who you are and even tries to impersonate you.

Has the devil stolen your identity? Are you a victim, not knowing who you really are? Let’s change that.

First of all, you’re not a nobody or a nothing! The devil might have told  you that you’ll never amount to much, that things never work out for you, and even that you’re a loser. But these are all lies from the father of lies–the devil himself. To even say things is to bring reproach upon your Creator.  Jesus purchased you with a redemption that is worth the whole world. Whatever He is and has, you have because in Him dwells the fullness of the God-head bodily. And the good news is that you’re in Him if you’ve been born-again! In other words, your true identity is in the Lord Jesus. Praise the Lord of glory!

Let’s look at what is actually in us. (The confirming scriptures are at the end of this message.)

1 – In Ephesians we see that we are blessed with every spiritual in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

2 – We were chosen before the foundation of the world.

3 – We have been adopted into the kingdom of God.

4 – Favor and mercy have been bestowed on us.

5 – We have been redeemed from sin, sickness, and spiritual death.

6 – We have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of the Son of God’s Love—the Lord Jesus.

7 – We have salvation through the Blood of Jesus.

8 – We have been chosen of God—even before we were born.

9 – We have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

10 – We are the Body of the Lord Jesus on earth and in Him dwells the fullness of the God-head bodily. Therefore, the fullness dwells in us by the Holy Spirit.

11 – And because we are in Jesus, Who is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, we are righteous in the eyes of God and set apart for His glory!

These verses show you who you are in Jesus. You are powerhouse going somewhere to be a blessing to all those around you! Meditate on these attributes and you will annihilate depression, inferiority, and intimidation!

Ephesians 1:3-7 (KJV) 3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Colossians 1:13 (KJV) 13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Ephesians 1:11 (KJV) 11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians 1:13 (KJV) 13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:22-23 (KJV) 22  And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV) 30  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

You Can’t Bake a Cake with the Wrong Ingredients!

Have you ever decided to bake something and failed to check if you had all the ingredients? I have, and when the main ingredient is flour and you don’t have it, that’s a problem!

I did that when making pizza. I had the yeast going and then I checked the flour and found out I had run out—not a pretty picture! Substituting bread flour for all-purpose flour didn’t work very well. Needless to say, I stocked up and learned a valuable lesson.

However, what puzzled me was that I endeavor to always keep my pantry stocked up for any baking project. So, what went wrong? Actually, nothing. I later discovered that I had put the extra bag of flour in the veggie drawer of the fridge for lack of cupboard space. I had recently moved into a new home and was still getting used to where I stashed things! But, it was still a good learning lesson.

So, you might ask, what does all this have to do with the message? A lot! Just like you can’t use the wrong ingredients when baking, you can’t use the wrong “ingredients” when praying. You can’t mix doubt and unbelief with faith and get the desired results. Let’s look at Mark 11:23:

 Mark 11:23 (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.

I want you to notice the ingredients in this verse for getting results: shall say, shall not doubt in your heart, shall believe, shall have. Mixing doubt and unbelief with your faith will not get you the right results. But let’s dig a little further.

Just what is doubt? Doubt actually questions the stand you’re taking; it withdraws from the original position of believing God. But, let me say that if you have doubt in your head but faith in your heart, you can still get the desired results. In Mark 11 Jesus tells us to doubt not in our hearts but believe. And you can only believe with your heart, not your head.

Now what about unbelief? Unbelief can come from wrong teaching or just not knowing the truth. It can also come from focusing on the physical realm instead of the spirit realm where all the answers are. So what do you do? I’m glad you asked because it’s not hard, just takes effort on your part.

First of all, you must re-program you mind with the truth of God’s Word so that it gets down into your heart. That’s called renewing 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.
Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) 23  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) 15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Faith is in the heart, not the head. That’s why you need to study God’s Word because faith comes by hearing God’s Word – Romans 10:17.

The way to get rid of unbelief is to know God’s Word. But, in addition to that, you need to focus on the spirit realm more than the physical realm. If all you’ll ever believe is what you can know with your five physical senses – see, hear, smell, taste, touch—you’ll never walk in the fullness of what God has for you.

Walking in the spirit realm is a higher realm, actually the parent realm of the physical realm. You must look beyond what you see with your natural eyes and look to God’s Word (the spirit realm) to determine what is the truth. For example:

If you’re battling a sickness, and you pray, rebuking it, commanding it to go,  and standing on God’s Word that by the stripes of Jesus you have already been healed, but then look at your body and notice that it still looks sick, you have to bypass that and continue to stand on God’s Word. Don’t be moved by what you see. Be moved only by what God’s Word says.

Unbelief will negate your faith faster than a New York minute if you let it. Take your stand and be a faither, standing on God’s Word and walking in victory!

Romans 10:17 (KJV) 17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
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.

Are Your Angels Working for You?

Let’s look at Hebrews 1:14:

Hebrews 1:13-14 (KJV) 13  But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14  Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

I want you to see that verse 14 is referring to angels as indicated in verse 13. This is showing that God has sent His angels to minister for us and to help us in our daily lives. This might be a new concept to some of you but it’s true nonetheless. And since this is true, it behooves us to avail ourselves of this.

Now let’s look at another scripture:

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.

Here we see that the angels hearken to the Word of God. Now just how does that happen? By our speaking God’s Word! Sounds too simple, doesn’t it? However, that’s the way it happens.

To hearken means to stand at attention waiting for the command to do something. That’s what our angels are doing. But, they only move on God’s Word. When we speak or confess the Word, the angels move to cause it to come to pass in our lives.

All through the Old Testament, we see angels functioning as God has commanded them. And it is just the same in the New Testament: the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her that she would bear Jesus, an angel appeared to Peter in prison to deliver him, and angel spoke to Cornelius to show the way to get him and his family saved. So, we see that angels are sent to help us and cause God’s Word to come to pass in our lives.

It’s important that we speak God’s Word and not the words of the devil. By speaking the devil’s words—negative, destructive words—we bind the hands of the angels to deliver us. They don’t make a judgment about whether or not you mean what you say. If it’s negative, they just stand there probably wondering why you want something bad to happen. Let me give you an example:

Some people say that as soon as they get a raise or a bonus, something goes wrong—an appliance breaks, the car needs something, etc. These are things that don’t have to be. Your angels are not able to override your confession. They just have to let the car breakdown, probably wondering why you want that to happen!

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.

Notice that the angel could not pardon their transgression. If they did not obey, the angel could do nothing. They only obey the Word of God. If we obey the Word of God, then the angels can move on our behalf. It is imperative that we speak only what we want according to God’s Word. That way the angels can cause manifestation of what we are speaking.

In Psalm 91 we see that God has given is angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways. But it’s contingent upon us dwelling in the secret place of the Most High—in the Word of God, abiding in His Word, making it our home and benchmark for all we do. That way, when we speak, we know that our angels are at work, moving on our behalf!

Psalm 91:11-12 (KJV) 11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Luke 1:26-35 (KJV) 26  And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28  And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29  And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Acts 12:7-10 (KJV) 7  And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8  And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9  And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10  When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

Acts 10:3-7 (KJV) 3  He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4  And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5  And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6  He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7  And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

What’s Your Benchmark?

Think about a sales pitch regarding the wonderful features of some product: you listen and listen but finally ask, “What’s the bottom line—the price?” Isn’t that what people want to know? If it’s too much to start with, save the sales pitch—right?

Well, when it comes to everyday decisions, we still need to ask ourselves: what is the bottom line? What is it that will be the deciding factor for us? And we all have our reasons for why we make the decisions that we do. But is that WHY we should? Is our bottom line the correct one?

Enter the Benchmark of all benchmarks—God’s Word. That should be the bottom line—the benchmark – for all we do or don’t do. His Word will never steer us wrong. His Word will always be the best answer for all we do.

Take Proverbs for example. There is so much wisdom for life in Proverbs that it should be a required course in school! But, of course, we know how that would go over!

Heeding God’s Word would save us a lot of anxiety, stress, and eliminate the need to seek counsel in most situations. There’s a dearth of the knowledge of God’s Word in peoples’ lives today. No wonder there’s so much confusion, aggravation, and plain ol’ nonsense going on.

God’s Word is replete with His wisdom to help us and guide us along life’s path as we follow Him. As Christians we need to develop a love of the Word of God. It will save our lives!

Here are some scriptures to get you started. A good idea is to read all of Proverbs and Psalm 119 in its entirety.

Proverbs 3:1-2 (KJV) 1  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Proverbs 4:20-22 (KJV) 20  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

Psalm 119:11 (KJV) 11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalm 119:98-99 (KJV) 98  Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99  I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

Psalm 119:105 (KJV) 105  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:130 (KJV) 130  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Psalm 119:165 (KJV) 165  Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
Psalm 36:9b (KJV)  … in thy light shall we see light.

How Can You Be Depressed When God has Given You a Sound Mind?

What is a sound mind? It’s a mind that’s, first of all, at peace. That’s one of the obvious characteristics of a sound mind.

A mind that’s tormented with evil, wicked thoughts, including worry thoughts, is not a mind that’s at peace. That’s a mind that the devil is having a field day with.

II Tim 1:7 tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind — a mind that is free from fear and torment.

One of the greatest battlefields of the devil is the mind. If he can get you to accept and think his evil wicked thoughts, he can get you to act them out. Evil thoughts, if not controlled, will eventually lead to bad actions and this is not good.

We need to think on things that are good, pure, lovely, and of a good report. We need to meditate on the Word of God and get it into our hearts so that faith develops. Then when we speak the Word, it will come forth with power and cause manifestation.

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.

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.
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) 8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Are You on Fire for God or Just a Hot-Head?

Remember when you got saved and the zeal you had for Jesus and all that He had given you? Well, that zeal should be evident today. In fact, it should have increased to where you are actually a fanatic for Jesus!

Sadly, though, it seems that the ways of the world have crept into the church and people are responding to the issues of life the same way the world does. The fire of God has been replaced by hot-headedness! Just look around you!

“Speaking your mind” or “venting”, as the world calls it, is not the way God would have us respond to problems, issues, or daily conflicts. He has provided a better way. And that way is yielding to the fruit of your re-born spirit, specifically, patience and temperance.

Too many Christians pray and ask God to give them patience when, in fact, they already have it. Our job is to yield to the patience in our re-born spirit and let it dominate the circumstances of life that come against us.

The patience that God gave us at salvation is simply faith over a long period of time. That kind of patience will see you through to the end.

We need to get on fire for God and stay on fire and not be a hot-head!

We need to ask ourselves the question, “If we were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict us?”

Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) 22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Galatians 5:22-23 (AMP)
22  But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,
23  Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].

It’s Not a Faith Problem; It’s a Knowledge Problem!

How many times have you said, “If only I had more faith?” But, that shouldn’t be the case with born-again Christians. Once you get saved, you have the faith of Jesus deposited in your re-born spirit. And everyone gets the same lump!

However, what you do with your lump is up to you. Your job is to develop it by studying, meditating God’s Word, and getting it into your spirit so that you know the things that God has freely given you.

Everything you’ll ever need has already been provided for you in God’s Word. Not one thing was left out. But if you don’t know His Word, you can’t access the promises and they won’t manifest in your life.

So, whenever you’re not seeing answers to your prayers, it’s not a faith problem. It’s a knowledge problem because you can’t have faith for something apart from the Word of God . Faith for the promises come from the Word. Every Word of God is filled with enough faith to cause it to come to pass for whosoever will believe it and act on it.

If you don’t know what the Word says about a situation, you won’t have the faith to stand and believe for the manifestation. That’s why it’s a knowledge problem. Sometimes you just don’t know enough.

For example—if you’re having trouble receiving your healing, it’s a knowledge problem. If you have financial needs, it’s a knowledge problem. You need to know what God has already said about healing or about finances so that you can access His promises.

What a wonderful God we serve Who has so graciously provided for our every need, and sad to say, most Christians are living far below the privileges, plans, and purposes God has for them.

Jesus provided everything we’ll ever need: salvation, healing, deliverance, prosperity, protection, soundness, and wholeness. And then he sent the Holy Spirit to indwell us so that we’d be victorious in every area of our lives.

How awesome is our God!

Proverbs 1:7 (KJV) 7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) 10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Romans 12:3 (KJV) 3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
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.

Are You Enjoying a Life Worth Living?

My observation has been that many times people get saved and then go about their lives as usual. Some even study the Word for a while but when there’s a crisis and their prayers don’t get answered, they lose heart and quit. That’s because they’re not grounded in the Word and the Word isn’t first place in their lives – the benchmark—for all they do. This is not a pretty picture.

Sadly, many Christians go about their daily lives and only shoot up a desperate prayer when there’s a problem. But that doesn’t get the manifestation. Their relationship with God is similar to their relationship with the doctor. They only go to see him when there’s a problem! That’s not how it’s supposed to be with our Heavenly Father.

Oh, how far short are these attitudes from what our Father actually intends for us! He says we’re the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. He says that He always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and everything we set our hands to prospers! What more could we want!

God has so graciously given us all things that pertain to life and godliness and all His divine promises are ours. What problem could we possibly have that God has not already provided the solution? We have it made, but with no revelation of the Word, we don’t know what’s been freely given to us.

That’s why it behooves us to make a firm commitment to get into the Word so the Word can get into us! We have to put forth effort because it takes effort to make a firm commitment to God’s Word and make it the “bottom line” for all we do. But, dear ones, it’s worth every moment and the rewards are endless! That’s what’s called “a life worth living!”

Deuteronomy 28:8 (KJV) 8  The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 28:12-13 (KJV) 12  The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13  And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

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.
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.

Are You “Focus-hunting” or Do You Have a Clear Picture?

A short time ago, I ordered a special lens for my camera that doubled the distance of what I was shooting. However, in the course of setting it up, I found out that this particular lens was not a good fit for my camera. Needless to say, I returned it via a very understanding customer service rep.

One of the things that clued me that this was not the right lens was that as I tried focusing on my subject, the camera kept “focus-hunting” to find a way to sharpen the image, to no avail, and to my disappointment. Thus, the inspiration for this blog!

As you know from reading my blogs, all of God’s promises work by faith and without faith you don’t get anything! Believing is seeing not the reverse.

Therefore, whatever promise you want to manifest in your life, you have to first “see” it and focus on it in your mind’s eye, actually, in your spirit. For example, if you’re wanting to manifest healing in your body, you have to “see” yourself healed in order for your faith to work. Even if you pray a “good” prayer but still see yourself sick, your prayer won’t work. The wrong image will negate your faith and you’ll get nothing.

On the other hand, if you pray in faith and then continue seeing yourself healed and well, it won’t be long before you’ll see the manifestation.

We have to focus on what we are believing to see in the natural realm. We have to “zoom” in on the “seeing part” and the manifestation will come to pass. What we focus on, confess, and give our attention to is what directs our paths. We will never rise higher than our confession.

Be a person of the Word and expect your manifestation!

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.

Hebrews 6:12 (KJV) 12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

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.

What You Say is What You Get or Hung by the Tongue!

Open mouth, insert foot! How many times have we been guilty of that! If only we could do an instant “do-over” but that doesn’t happen. You can apologize but you can’t un-say something.

Here’s where we come to a crossroad with the world’s system. They tell us to “just let it all out; just vent your feelings and you’ll feel so much better.” But the truth is that it doesn’t work. It actually opens the door for the devil to come right in and clobber you.

Proverbs 18:21 states that death and life are in the power of the tongue. At any one time, we’re speaking either blessing or cursing, good or evil, positive or negative. And to top it off, Jesus said we’ll have what we say if we believe in our hearts, doubt not, and believe that what we say will come to pass, we’ll have what we say. Even though Jesus was referring to positive things, if you say the negative things long enough, you’ll end up believing it and it will come to pass!  

The problem is that many peoples are saying what they don’t really want to happen even though they actually believe it. For example, some will confess that heart attacks run in their family and therefore they expect to get a heart attack. And they probably will because they have said it long enough to get it into their hearts where they really believe it will happen.

Sad to say, many Christians are in the same boat of negative confessions. This ought not to be. We have a mandate from God to take dominion over the earth, not to let the earth dominate us. There’s power in our words and we need to acknowledge that and speak accordingly.

Many Christians wonder why their positive words confessions take so long to manifest but the negative ones seem to be “johnny-on-the-spot”! That’s because they believe the negative confession more than the positive ones. That’s why we must continue to confess God’s promises over and over and over ‘til their reality gets from our heads into our hearts. And that’s when we’ll see manifestation.

I know people who can rarely have a conversation without complaining or being negative about something. And they wonder why things don’t work out for them! It’s one inch from their noses!

I exhort you to be aware of the words that you speak so that only blessing comes forth. It will change your entire attitude for good!

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.

James 3:8-12 (KJV) 8  But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9  Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10  Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11  Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12  Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

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 12:37 (KJV) 37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Genesis 1:26 (KJV) 26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
