I believe we get what we say because God honors His word and His word says that “who so ever believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass…shall have whatsoever he saith. (Mark 11:23). In spite of the fact that I was familiar with these well-known biblical quotation it had somehow never occurred to me that the promise, in (Mark 11: 23) “he shall have whatsoever he saith, “ was a two-edged sword it could work for me or it could work against me, depending on what I said.
I constantly used phrases like “I can’t, and I afraid,” when God’s word told me “I can “and Fear not.” My words were out of harmony with God’s word; I was disagreeing with the Lord until God reveal this unto me.
Brethren, can two works together except they agree? Ask Amos 3:3. I discovered that I could never walk with God in blessing, triumph and abundant supply as long as I disagreed with God’s word. So here was the secret; I had to agree with the Lord. I have to say what God said about my life. I needed to say what He said about my health, my finances, my strength, my anointing, and my power, about all of the blessings he had promised me in His Word.
Praise God, I and my husband Mike really tormented with the example below until God delivered us. It is true that if you believe what you are saying, what you say is what you get. If you say, ‘I can’t pay my bills,” for instance, you won’t be able to pay your bills even though God’s word says that “My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 4:19). But if you change your negative way of speaking and thinking based on God’s promise to supply, you will receive the financial miracle you need. To help you overcome any habit of negative speaking, it may help if you can start this. “My Never again List.” This really helps me.
MY NEVER AGAIN LIST
Never again will I confess “I can’t. For” I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me” (Philippians 4:13)
Never again will I confess lack for “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4: 19)
Never again will I confess fear for God hath not given me the sprit of fear but of power and love and of sound mind. (2 Tim 1: 7)
Never again will I confess doubt and lack of faith for God hath given to every man the measure of faith. (Romans 12:3)
Never again will I confess weakness for the Lord is the strength of my life. (Psalm 27:1) and, “The people that know their God shall be strong and exploits. (Daniel 11: 32)
Never again will I confess supremacy of Satan over my life, Greater is He that is within me that he that is in the world. (1 john 4:4)
Never again will I confess defeat for God always caused me to triumph in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 2:14)
Never again will I confess lack of wisdom for Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom from God. (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Never again will I confess sickness, for With His stripes I am healed. (Isaiah 53:5) and Jesus Himself took my infirmities and bare my sickness (Matthew 8:17)
Never again will I confess worries and frustrations for I am casting all my cares upon who careth for me (1 Peter 5:7). In Christ am care –free.
Never again will I confess bondage for where the spirit of God is there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17). My body is the temple of Holy Spirit.
Never Again will I confess condemnation for there is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8: 1). I am in Christ; therefore I am free from condemnation.
So there fore brethren God honors His word, be in harmony with God and see your self the way God sees you in His word.
God Bless you all and love to all.
