Blessed morning!
Want God’s power? Speak!
We all want God’s power to be upon our lives. On Sunday, Pastor Prince gave us the keys through Scripture.
Ecclesiastes 8:4 (NKJV)
Where the word of a king is, there is power.
You may be asking, “But am I a king?”
According to God’s Word, Yes! And not only a king, you are also a priest.
Revelation 1:5-6 (NKJV)
To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever.
All throughout the gospel, you see God encouraging His people to speak like a king - with the authority and power that comes from heaven.
2 Cor 4:13 NKJV
And since we have the same spirit of faith,
according to what is written, “I believe and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.
This is why Senior Pastor always encourages us to not only believe God’s promises found in His Word in our heart, but to speak, declare and say them out loud over ourselves and our loved ones.
For our Lord Jesus Himself said, “Whoever SAYS to this mountain, ‘Be removed and cast into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS (Mark 11:23).”
So faith involves believing in your heart and speaking using the power of your tongue. The Lord made us in His image. Jesus is the King of kings and the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek. The Bible tells us Jesus spoke to the storm and it subsided. He spoke to the fig tree and it withered. He spoke to demons and they fled. He spoke to the sick and they were healed.
Similarly, as king-priests by His grace, God does not want us to be worried or anxious when we are faced with darkness in any area of our life. Instead, He wants us to call forth what we want to see.
For instance, if you are caught in a precarious situation, declare: “The Lord is my refuge and fortress. My God in Him I will trust (Psalm 91:2).” And if you are sick, declare: “By Jesus’ stripes, I am healed.”
So start speaking God’s promises over yourself and you shall soon see them manifest for you!
