THE WORD ABLAZE

“And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it.”
Mark 11:14
Main Text: Main text: Proverbs 18:4

From what the above verse expressed; the tree had not spoken to Jesus verbally but it communicated that it had figs by the leaves on it. It is a fact that a fig tree should have figs by the time the leaves are evident. A fig tree actually produces green figs before the leaves appear and if no figs are produced by that time, then the tree will not have any figs that year.  This fig tree was professing something that it didn't have even though it was still too early for figs.

Beloved, other things can communicate with us too. Circumstances can tell you that you have failed. Your body can tell you that your prayer didn't work - the Lord didn't heal you, etc. You need to follow Jesus' example and answer these things with a positive statement of your faith.

Speaking God's Word in faith brings the Holy Spirit into action. In Luke 4, when Jesus was tempted of the devil for forty days, it was the Word of God that Jesus used to defeat the enemy at His temptation. We must take advantage of God's Word by placing it in our hearts so that the Holy Spirit may bring it forth at the appropriate time to accomplish a complete and total victory. Speak to that mountain in your life. Redirect the situation to the path of faith that will bring you the best result. God is willing to grant your heart desire in this new month.

Confession:

I declare I have the grace I need for today. I am full of power, strength, and determination. Nothing I face will be too much for me. I will overcome every obstacle, outlast every challenge, and come through every difficulty better off than I was before.
