CENTRAL TRUTH:
MEMORY VERSE:
…I am watching over My word to perform it. Jer 1:12 NASU TEXT: James 1: 6-7;INTRODUCTION:
Begin to talk not the way things are but the way you would like them to be. Keep on talking the way you would like to be and you will be the way you talked. God spoke first then it became a reality (Gen 1: 3. You speak then reality comes.In a Walt Disney story entitled Bambi, a mother deer says to her fawn, “If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all”. It’s not Scripture but there‘s a lot of truth in what that mother deer is supposed to have said. If you can’t say anything true, at least you don’t have to lie. If you can’t say anything positive, you can at least keep your mouth shut. Until you learn how to make a positive confession, you don’t have to say anything ( Prov. 29: 11; 21: 23). LEARN TO SAY WHAT GOD SAYS: We are what God says we are ( 2cor. 5: 17; Col 1: 13; Rom 8:17, 37; Eph 1 : 3).We have what God says we have ( 1 John 5: 12; John 8: 12; 2 Cor 3: 17; Rom 5: 5; John 16: 22)We can do what God says we can do (Phil 4: 13; Mark 16: 17-18). We have to affirm these words; I am what God says I am, I have what God says I Have and I can do what God says I can do. Begin to talk not the way things are but the way you would like them to be. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 NKJVWe can never walk with God in blessing, triumph and abundant supply as long as I disagreed with God’s Word. We have to agree with God, Iwe have to say what God say about our life; we have to say what He says about our health, our finances, our strength, our anointing, our power, about all of the blessings He has promised us in his Word. TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD: Luke 5:5 Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets." NIV John 4:50 Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed. NIV We must refuse to give way to negative thoughts and words but instead declare out loud positive faith in God’s provision.The truth is God will cause our worst circumstances to work on our behalf, nor matter how impossible things may seem at that time (Rom 8: 28). CONCLUSION: God’s supernatural laws transcend (go above) God’s natural laws. In a way known to God, God’s children need only speak and believe, and the thing which they have spoken will come to pass. We don’t need to know how it works; you don’t need to know how lift transcends gravity in order to ride in an airplane and you don’t need to know how things you say and believe are going to happen. It is enough that they happen. Just as the world’s natural children need to learn how to walk without being toppled by the law of gravity. God’s supernatural children also need to learn how to operate His Supernatural laws without being toppled by His natural laws.Learning to walk in the spirit takes time, just as it took time to learn to walk in the flesh. But it is well worth the effort. Isaiah 45:2 'I will go before you and make the crooked places straight NKJV Right now in your life, God is making your crooked places straight. He’s making your rough places smooth. You may be going through a difficult time right now, but it’s not the end. It’s only the beginning. You may feel like you’re in a dry season, but don’t look at your circumstances. Look at the promise of God today! If you’ll keep speaking words of faith, God promises that He’ll anoint your head with oil and your cup will run over. Put on an attitude of praise and thanksgiving. Thank Him for making your crooked places straight! As you do, you’ll move forward in joy and gladness in the blessed future He has prepared for you! “If God is for us, who can be against us” (Romans 8:31)? As a believer in Jesus and a child of His, God is on your side today! You are created for greatness. You have the seed of Almighty God inside of you. There is no obstacle that can stop you. There is no disadvantage that can hold you back. God is on your side, He sets the right people in your path. He’s already released favor into your future. He’s planning for you to come in to new seasons of increase. Have you given up on a dream? God is on your side, and He wants to resurrect it. God is on your side, and He has a plan for victory in every area of your life. Let that sink down into your heart today. Begin to expect His favor. Expect Him to work in your life. Focus on the fact that God has equipped you. He has anointed you. Your best days are still out in front of you! If God is for you, no one can rise against you! As you meditate on this promise, it will become real to you. You will walk in the favor and victory God has in store for youComments
