DON’T LET DOUBT WIN

“Jesus immediately stretched out His hand and lifted him up and said, “What little faith you have! Why would you let doubt win?” ~ Matthew 14:31 (TPT)   REFERENCE: Matthew 14:22-33   We are in constant battle with doubt; doubt and faith try to get control over our lives, and I can tell you that doubt is an aggressive contender. It goes for the jugular; it aims to suffocate your faith and break your gaze from God. Doubt has many weapons in his arsenal – bad news, open-ended questions, painful experiences, stories of people’s failures, or adverse medical reports. When Peter...

PRAY IT INTO BEING

"Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes." ~ Daniel 9:3   REFERENCE: Daniel 9:1-4   God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. God has finished everything you need, and it presently exists in the unseen or spiritual realm. That means that it is something you will need to secure from the spirit realm, or it is unseen because it is presently not in your possession but exists on earth. God has given us prayer as the vehicle to convey these blessings into...

UNCOMMON GRACE: HUMBLED BY GRACE

"David went into the tent he had set up for the sacred chest. Then he sat there and prayed: Lord All-Powerful, my family and I don't deserve what you have already done for us, and yet you have promised to do even more. Is this the way you usually treat people?" ~ II Samuel 7:18-19   REFERENCE: II Samuel 7:8-19   Several years ago, while struggling as a young man, things were quite challenging; I was doing my best, but it seemed insufficient. I had told my fiancée (now wife) that we would marry that year, but… I leave the rest...

SALVATION IN YOUR MOUTH

“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” ~ Romans 10:10   REFERENCE: Romans 10:6-11   We often seek the transformation of our situation from sources outside ourselves; however, the enemy to contend with is the ‘inner-me.’ Many people are involuntarily the architects of their misfortune in life, marriage, children, or business; they have sabotaged their destiny with the words of their mouth. Our text shows that by confession, ‘there is salvation in your mouth.’ Moses introduced us to this principle in the Old Testament. He said to the Israelites, “It is not...

HAND OVER YOUR MOUTH

“If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.” ~ Proverbs 30:32 (KJV)   REFERENCE: Proverbs 30:32 (KJV)   James wrote a treatise on the power of the tongue; he detailed how, like a horse, the tongue is wild by nature. He said that if a man can mind what he says or control his tongue, he will be a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body and order his life aright. He talked about how difficult it is to tame the tongue and how, like a little...

WORDS ARE SPIRIT

"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." ~ John 6:63   REFERENCE: John 6:63   We live in a world of tangibles; hence, we respond to and place value on tangible things. For that reason, we often unconsciously disregard the place of invisible and intangible materials, yet scripture and experience prove their existence. Hebrews 11 says the things we see today are a product of intangible things…yes, the immaterial was the raw material for the material. The immaterial raw material that God used to...

TONGUE BEFORE TOUCH

“For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”” ~ Mark 5:28   REFERENCE: Mark 5:25-34   We have been looking at how one’s life can be satisfied by what comes out of the mouth. What comes out of a man’s mouth can greatly affect his life for the better or worse. Jesus said, “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” A well-deployed tongue can determine what a person touches or experiences in life. Your life is in your mouth. Solomon said, “…the tongue of the wise promotes...

SATISFIED BY WORDS 2

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." ~ Proverbs 18:21   REFERENCE: Proverbs 18:20-25   A man's words will satisfy his life in any area of life he so desires such satisfaction. Words are like seeds; they bear fruits after their kind. The law of seeds in Galatians also applies to words: "A man's harvest in life will be solely determined by the seeds he has sown." If he has sown the right 'word-seeds', he will have harvests that will bring pleasure and satisfaction to him. Having revealed that...

SATISFIED BY WORDS

"A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled." ~ Proverbs 18:20   REFERENCE: Proverbs 18:20-25   Our text is quite interesting; it reveals that you can be satisfied by words. To be satisfied is to be adequately supplied, have your expectations met, and fulfill a need or desire. Solomon said that our words produce fruits that can satisfy us in every area of life. However, he did not limit its qualification to just positive or negative words; whichever you choose will satisfy you. There is a connection...

DON’T JUST SIT, MOVE!

“Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?””- II Kings 7:3   REFERENCE: II Kings 7:1-8   You can’t move when you sit and think you can’t move. That is life for you. Many people are so paralyzed by the analysis of the likely unfavorable outcomes if they move that they have just decided to sit and hope that things improve. Yet, inactivity is responsible for most failures in life. If you want to live a life of progress and success, don’t...
