Am I Teaching VAIN Repetition?
.In John 6:63 Jesus teaches us – “the Words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”
.
.
When we believe what Christ taught us about His Word(s), we will see
yet another reason WHY we MUST keep confessing God’s Words from our
mouths and/or over our lives.
Christ told us His Words ARE life.
Not maybe.
Not sometimes.
But, all the time, and all of His Words …. Christ’s Words ARE life.
.
Isn’t this yet another great reason why we should WANT to be speaking God’s Words only, out of our mouths?
.
Think about how fear-filled words produce fear and emotional
bondage to those who believe and speak the fear-filled words and to
those who hear and believe the fear-filled words.
So it is with God’s Words. They produce life and faith to
those who will hear and believe God’s Words and to those who will
believe and speak God’s Words.
.
If we are having any trouble at all, believing a Promise of
God or seeing a Promise of God accomplishing in our lives what the Word
says it should be accomplishing, then we need to keep our mouths
speaking that particular Promise, so that we can meditate on the
Promise to build our faith and so that we can ensure nothing contrary
to that Word can have its way in our life!
.
.Romans 10:17 teaches us – “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”
.
And Mark 11:23 teaches –
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say … 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”
.
.
These two Scriptures alone, are good enough reminders that the Word of God should be continually rolling off our tongues.
This is not some ‘bondage’ or ‘legalism’ that I keep harping on, nor is it likened to the Scripture which states
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for
they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking ” {Matthew 6:7}.
Why?
Because we are not using VAIN words or VAIN repetitions.
The Words Christ spoke ARE LIFE.
God’s Words are ETERNAL.
God’s Words are SPIRIT.
God’s Words are FLAWLESS.
God’s Words are TRUTH.
And again, God’s Words are LIFE.
.
Listen to what your mouth is speaking, when you are out in public, where your mouth isn’t guarded as closely as it is in prayer.
Is it speaking LIFE, in agreement with God’s Word for your life?
Or is your mouth speaking death and fear and defeat and hopelessness.
.
Praise God for His life-giving Words today, and make a
determined effort to speak only God’s Words from your mouth …. in
public as well as in your quiet time.
By doing such you will be building your spirit with faith {Rom 10:17} and speaking God’s LIFE into your own life {John 6:63}.
This is not bondage or condemnation …
Nor is it some heathen philosophy ….
No … this is true FREEDOM and POWER !!
Hallelujah!

Proverbs 18:21 – The TONGUE has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit
Matthew 12:37 – By thy WORDS thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned
Psalm 50:23 – and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God
Romans 10:10 – For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is made unto salvation
Proverbs 4:20-22 – My
son, attend to My Words; incline thine ear unto My sayings … for they
are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh
Deut 30:11-14 – For
this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from
thee, neither is it far off … But the Word is very nigh unto thee,
(even) IN THEY MOUTH, and in they heart, that thou mayest do it … (and so that you may receive it and see or experience it in your life)
.
CHOOSE LIFE! (Deut 30:14-15)

Teachings On The Power Of Your Tongue
| 07:39
What Are You Thinking About?
The Bible teaches us that we should be actively and
aggressively getting rid of all incorrect thoughts and thinking patterns, and
tells us we should bring EVERY thought into obedience with God's Word
(2 Corinthians 10:5, Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:23, etc).
Jesus, Himself, also asked the question, why do you TAKE the thought
AND SAY, "What
will I eat, what will I drink, or what will I wear?" (Matthew
6:31-KJV) In other words, why do you allow worries to roll around in
your mind and then why do you believe the worries that are rolling around in
mind? And why do you SPEAK, as if those worries are your reality?
RATHER, why don't you take hold of the thought ... bring your thoughts and
emotions in line with God's Words ... and SAY "My Father
loves me more than any bird of the air, and feeds my family AND
satisfies my mouth with good things (Psalm
103:4)!! And my Father loves me more than any field which is ornately
clothed with gorgeous flowers, and WILL clothe my family with pretty clothing!
I TRUST in the love of God for my family!" (Matthew 6:26)
We must actively, aggressively, and continually watch what we are THINKING!
As we meditate on fear and worry in our thinking, it will drop down into our
heart, and we will believe it, and speak it forth from our mouths, for "out
of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" (Matthew 12:34,
Luke 6:45 - KJV); and what we speak, WILL come to pass, for Proverbs
18:21 states that "death and life are in the power of
the tongue" and Mark 11:23 states that whoever believes "that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith" (KJV).
Lets aggressively look at what paths our thoughts are taking us down, and lets
make an effort to change our thinking, and change our speaking, so that the
Blessings of God will manifest in our lives (Deut 30:11-14) !!
Here are just some examples of Lies that come into the minds and
thought process of every human being.
We should combat the Lies with Truths ... "take up
the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish ALL the flaming
arrows of the evil one" (Ephesians 6:16).
|
The Lie
|
The Truth
|
| |
|
I'll never be free from (addiction, hatred, lust,
porn, etc)
Old habits die hard...I just can't seem to break the habit of (...fill in
blank) |
For Freedom Christ HAS made me FREE;
I have the MIND OF CHRIST right now, and therefore have a peaceful and
free mind;
God has given me a SOUND mind (2 Tim 1:7);
I can do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me; |
| I'm dying |
My life IS hidden in Christ and
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE;
By Christ's stripes I was healed; |
| I'll never make ends meet |
God meets ALL my needs according to His RICHES in glory,
by Christ Jesus;
Christ was made poor, so that I could be rich (2 Cor 8:9); |
I'm so confused on what to do;
I just can't seem to figure out what to do in this situation;
I'll never get it / I'll never understand this; |
I have the MIND OF CHRIST right now;
God has given me a sound mind;
Christ was made unto me WISDOM (1 Cor 1:30, Eph 1:8); |
It seems like my children will never be saved;
It seems my child is just destined for trouble;
I don't think my child can get a hold of the Truth, unless he/she goes
through trouble |
The promise of the Holy Spirit is for me AND for my
children (Acts 2:39);
God WILL pour out His Spirit on my children (Acts 2:17);
GREAT is the peace of my children because God IS teaching and leading
them!! |
| I just can't seem to understand the Bible; |
Jesus Christ has been made WISDOM unto me (1 Cor 1:30);
I have the mind of Christ right now! (1 Cor 2:16) |
I'm just a sinner, saved by grace;
I'm unworthy; |
Jesus Christ has been made RIGHTEOUSNESS for me (1 Cor
1:30);
I AM the Righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 5:21); |
| Maybe the gift of tongues just isn't for me, or for ...
(fill in name); |
God DOES give His Holy Spirit to those who ask, and the
Promise of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues IS for me, and for my
children (Luke 11:13, Acts 2:39); |
Maybe it isn't God's will to heal me, or to heal ...
(fill in name);
Maybe it is God's will to take (fill in name) home; |
By Christ's stripes I WAS healed (1 Peter 2:24, Matthew
8:17); |
| Bad things ALWAYS happen to me; |
I am a DEARLY loved child of God (Ephesians 5:1, 1:5);
God HAS LAVISHED on me, and enormously and generously poured upon me
grace, wisdom, and every spiritual blessing! (Eph 1:3); |
| A little fear is healthy (BIG lie....can you show me
a Scripture for this one?) |
God has NOT given me a spirit of FEAR, but He has given me
a SOUND MIND AND POWER over all the power of the enemy!! (Luke
10:19, Romans 8:15, 2 Tim 1:7); |
I feel like I'm always under attack;
I feel like I'm under a curse;
Why is the enemy ALWAYS attacking me; |
Christ Jesus was made a CURSE for me, so that the Blessing
of Abraham could come upon me (Galatians 3:13-14);
I refuse ANYTHING that is found in the curse, for Jesus Christ became a
curse for me, so that blessing of Abraham would come upon me;
I am seated FAR above all powers, and all authority, and all
principalities...they are under my feet, and I have all authority over all
the power of the enemy, and NOTHING will harm me any longer!! (Luke 10:19,
Ephesians 2:20-23 & 2:6); |
| I always get sick; |
By Christ's stripes I WAS healed;
Jesus bore more sicknesses and infirmities in His very own body (Matt
8:17);
I have the blessing of Abraham upon my life, and sickness will not rule
me, or keep on attacking me (Gal 3:14); |
| I can't stop cursing; |
For freedom Christ DID set me free, and I know the Truth,
and the Truth DOES make me FREE (Galatians 5:1, John 8:32);
I CAN do ALL things through Christ Who strengthens me; |
It seems like God never hears my prayers;
I wonder why God never answers my prayers; |
I know that I am asking God for something that is Promised
in His Word, and I know therefore that He HEARS me, and DOES give me the
petition that I ask of Him (1 Jn 5:14); |
| Diabetes (or any other generational disease) has always
been in my family, so it is just something that I will get, and just
something I will have to live with; |
Jesus Christ became a curse for me! All the curses
of my family ARE BROKEN NOW in Jesus name; NONE of the sicknesses of
my family will come upon me, in Jesus' name! (Galatians 3:14, Luke 10:19); |
| |
|
Remember Jesus' Words: WHY TAKE THOUGHT!?
Why take hold of the lies, and believe them as though they were truth!
Instead, combat the Lies in your mind with the TRUTHS of God!!!! The
Word is living, and active, and able to pull down the lies from your mind, AND
is able to reverse any Lies that HAVE taken hold in your life!!!! Combat
every Lie with TRUTH, and SEE THE GLORY OF GOD be revealed in your life! (John
11:40..."Did I not say to you that if you believe,
you will see the glory of God?")
Prayer to pray over your life
today:
Hallelujah! Thank You Father, for giving us Your great and precious
Promises, by which we can combat EVERY lie that comes against us!! I
choose to believe every Promise today! I choose to believe every Promise
for my family! I believe Your Promises are FOR me, and I accept THEM as
the Truth for my life, and I refuse to believe the Lie is stronger than the
Truth, anymore!!! In Jesus' name! Praise and glory be to You for
great and loving kindness to me and to my family! In Jesus' name! Amen"

What Is Faith? What Is Living By Faith?
| 09:10
Topic Heading: What Is Faith? What Is Living By Faith?
Is The Word Of Faith Condemning?
When a sick person came to Jesus for healing, Jesus always replied "I will".
Jesus accomplished the Father's will, while walking on earth.
Jesus "took up our infirmities, and carried our diseases" (Matt 8:17).
Jesus "went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil" (Acts 10:38).
GOD'S WILL IS HEALTH.
The only time Jesus "did not do many miracles ... (was) because of their lack of faith" (Matthew 13:58)
Sound condemning?
Many have said, "Yes" to me.
But think of this: the statement that you MUST be born-again in order to enter the kingdom of heaven sounds condemning to many; but just because it sounds condemning, does it make the Words of God un-true? Or does it make the "method of how-to" enter heaven un-true? In both cases, No.
Do you remember the Scripture, there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus?
Do you remember Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to save the world?
So, just because it sounds condemning to us, does not mean it is a condemning word!
God is not condemning you. He is giving you TRUTHS and "HOW-TOs" to get things to work in your life.
He is trying to get peace to you. He is trying to get victory to you.
He is trying to get you to walk in the power and dominion which Jesus Christ purchased for you!!!
Want to escape a firey damnation? Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved (Mark 16:16).
Want to be healed? Believe you have received your healing at the moment you pray and ask for it...believe before you see it with your eyes, and THEN you shall receive it (Mark 11:24).
Condemning?
NO!
Believing BEFORE you see is the method by which God works, and He wants to get healing AND salvation, and even financial stability, over to you!
Simple? Yes, simple.
So simple, that many won't BELIEVE and be saved.
And so simple that many won't BELIEVE and be healed.
Simple? Yes, simple!
God's words are not condemning.
God is offering victory, peace, and health to "whosoever will believe".
Take Him up on His Words today.
Scripture To Think About Today:
Luke 21:33: Heaven and earth will pass away, but (God's) Words WILL NEVER PASS AWAY

DO WE REALLY
NEED TO KEEP CONFESSING?
Is constant confession of the Word of God helpful?
Is there power in continually making a confession?
Or is continually confessing our answer or a Promise of God necessary until we see the answer manifest?

Questions and Emails From Others
Is It ALWAYS
God's Will To Heal?
.
.
.
One of the most common statements I hear from people is that
"it is NOT always God's will to heal". "God is in
control, and He knows what is best for that person" is a common
add-on to that statement.
Fortunately, God HAS revealed His will for us, in His Word.
