SAY EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT

You have to state precisely what help you want. Is it help with your finances, your health, job, or your family? Whatever it is, be specific and act on the Word. Our opening verse gives us two key elements of effectual prayers: definite requests and thanksgiving. In Mark 11:23, the Lord Jesus said, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; 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.” Jesus didn’t tell us to speak to “mountains,” but to “this mountain,” teaching us to be definite in acting our faith.

Words aren’t meaningless or powerless in your life. They have creative power, just as God demonstrated when He created the heavens and the earth with His words. Now, you have the authority to do the same thing here on earth. The most potent force in the universe is the force of words. Through them, God created the entire world; He framed everything with His words, and let us know we can do the same. Words release spirit-power. In Genesis 1, the Bible shows how the earth was a chaotic mass and the Spirit of God moved over the face of the deep. He incubated upon the face of the waters as a hen would brood over its eggs, but no change was obvious until God spoke.

That God gave us the ability to speak is evidence of His great love for us, for He gave us the tool to frame our worlds to conform to His perfect will. We’re the products of words. Words – the right words – build us, and programme us for success, victory and progress. But the wrong words destroy a man’s life. It matters the kind of words you speak about yourself. Speak only lifting – Spirit-inspired words that give life – not words that destroy. Remember, your tomorrow will be a reflection of the words you speak today, so speak life-giving words.

Confession:

I’m going to release my faith right now. I stir it up! I have the faith of God in me. All things are possible to me because I’m a believer. I’m not a doubter. I’m a receiver. I’m a believer. I have it now. I release the faith given to me by The LORD Jesus Christ Himself: My Savior. My LORD. My Melchizedek. The High Priest of my life. I release my faith. I release it against sin, death, the curse, sickness, disease, poverty, lack, debt. Leave my presence. Take your hands off my body. Release my mind. Release my will. Release my emotions. You will not touch my spirit. Release my finances. Release my family.
