God's word is not just words, but power. The same power that formed the earth is in The Bible. But when you refuse to put it on your lips all that power goes to waste. God said his word would not return to him void, but it shall accomplish what he pleases (Isaiah 55:11). Well, for it to accomplish what God pleases it has to have power. But notice it shall accomplish when it is returned to him. How is it returned to him? When you speak it you are returning his word to him. So every day you don't put the word of God on your lips you fail to put the power of God to work for you.
The same power that created the universe is capable of making your life just what God called for. But without the word on your lips it will not accomplish for you. The word of God is capable of creating a life of health, joy, and peace. God gave you his word which is his power and a free will. You take his power and create what you want in your life. If you are sick create healing in your body. The scripture "By whose stripes ye were healed" has enough power in it to heal any sickness. If you're lacking finances take the word and create prosperity. If you want success you create it in your life. Isn't that what God told Joshua "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success." Notice, the success he was to have was dependent on the word coming out of his mouth. Don't treat the word of God like it's just words, but power. Imagine how much better your life would be if you did what God said, keep his word in your mouth.
Speak the word and let it create for you. Let the word do it's job. It's capable of bringing into your life exactly what God has already called for. But it has to be on your lips to do it. Sometimes we see things in the natural, but not the spiritual. For instance, when you go into a dark room the first thing you do is flip the light switch. Failure to do so can cause you to stumble in darkness even with all the power needed to walk in light is right there. So likewise, failure to put the word on your lips can cause you to walk in sickness, poverty, and all other things God never intended for you to have even though you may know the word of God. But, failure to put the word on your lips keeps the power from working for you. The word of God is not just words, but power.

Loose Your Faith
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Notice it says faith is the substance of things hoped for, in other words faith gives substance to what you hope for. Let me give you an example you will understand, everyone is familiar with a heating and cooling unit. If it is 80 degrees where you are and you want it to be 70 degrees, you set the thermostat on 70 degrees and that unit sends forth and releases the air(substance) that changes the temperature. But, notice that substance has to be loosed for it to change things and so does your faith. That unit is designed to change things and so are you. With the substance of faith in your heart you have the capacity to change things. For example, there was a woman with an issue of blood for 12 years. She did all she could do, she spent all her money, she saw all the doctors, but she was no better. She heard about Jesus and her chance was at hand, Jesus came walking by and she said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole." She pressed her way through crowd and touched his garment and in an instant she was healed. And Jesus said, "Thy faith has made thee whole" (Mark 5:25-34).
Notice, one instance of loosing her faith changed her situation. Because loosed faith changes things. Jesus said it this way, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you" (Matthew 17:20). Notice if ye have faith ye shall say and there shall be a change. So if you are sick and all you do is speak sickness then you can't loose the substance that will change it. If you are broke and all you do is talk about how broke you are then you can't loose the substance that will change it. So instead of speaking the problem say what the word says about your problem, faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). And once you are built up in faith, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34). It will be more natural for you to speak the answer than the problem. And God promised his word would not return to him void, but that it would accomplish (Isaiah 55:11). So, don't give up, be patient he that promised is faithful. That thing can change.
And the biggest change you can make with your faith is from being a child of the world to being a child of God. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). And as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God. So, if you would like to become a son of God say this simple prayer. Dear God I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that you raised him up from the dead and I confess now that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Amen

Taste And See The Lord Is Good
It is time for the children of God to be partakeers of his divine nature. When Adam sinned he disconnected from God and connected to Satan. He exchanged his nature of being righteous in exchange for the nature of sin. And everyone born after him was born with that sin nature. But, as soon as Adam sinned God had a plan to get things back. Just as you were born in sin God came up with a plan for man to be born again. In your sin nature you are connected to Satan and the things of that nature- the curse, sin, sickness, depression, poverty, fear. In your righteous nature you are connected to God and all the things of that nature- the blessing, health, prosperity, peace, faith. So as a born again christian you have a right to the life of Christ Jesus. Because of what Jesus did on the cross you can exchange the devils nature for the nature of God. Jesus said he came for you to have life and have it more abundantly.
Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches." You don't have a healthy, prosperous vine and poor, sick branches. In the sin nature you are do the wages of sin, death (Romans 6:23). But, in your righteous nature you are do the wages of righteousness, life (Romans 5:17). All the things of Adams nature got passed down so likewise all the things of Jesus are passed down to those with that nature(those that are in Christ). So his peace, faith, joy, health, wisdom are passed down when you are connected(the vine and branches). Jesus came to bring man God's way of life. And one of the biggest jobs is renewing you mind to the things of God. For by the renewing of your mind you are transformed from the things of the world into the things of God (Romans 12:2).
Do you know you have a right to be healed, delivered, prosperous, blessed. That's right I said you have a right to those things because the blood of Jesus paid for them. And what you have a right to you are free to receive. For example, you take a friend out to eat and you decide to pay for the buffet and they have all kinds of food laid out. And you both come back to the table and all they have is one piece of food, what's the first thing you say? That's all you want. Why, because you want them to partake of all that's laid out for them. As a matter of fact the more they take the better you feel. So imagine how Jesus feel, he died for you to be healed and you put up with sickness, he died for you to be prosperous and you put with lack, he died for you to be free and you keep putting up with that bondage. Healing, deliverance, prosperity, and blessing are all on the buffet, receive. So, how do you receive from God's buffet first you have to believe God's word. Second you have to get your mouth involved "A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth" (Proverbs 13:2). So, you are going to have to start speaking "By whose stripes I am healed" (2Peter 2:24), "My God shall supply all my need according to his riches in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19), "Christ hath redeemed me from the curse of the law" (Galatians 3:13). That's why the word says, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so" (Psalm 107:2). God invites you to taste and see that He is good (Psalm 34:8). What did you do to be a sinner, nothing. What do you do to be righteous, nothing, but receive Jesus as your Lord and saviour. Because it's all about what Jesus did. How do you receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you believe God raised Jesus from the dead and confess him as your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10). Come and take your first taste and see that God is good.
Prayer: Dear Father I believe Jesus died for my sins on the cross and that you raised him from the dead and I confess now that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Amen

The Mouth-Body Connection
It's time we make the connection concerning our mouth and our body. Because the Bible has a lot to say about the effects our words have on our body. Especially when our words are in line with God's words. In Proverbs 4:20-22 it says "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." That word health in hebrew is translated medicine, remedy, cure, deliverance so your mouth can be the deliverance or the cure for your body. So God's word in your mouth is medicine to your body. Proverbs 12:18 says, "But the tongue of the wise is health(medicine)." God's word is God's wisdom so a wise man is going to speak the word of God. So that God can do what He said He would do "I create the fruit of the lips; Peace peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him."
In the 3rd chapter of James he gives an excellent discription of the power of the tongue. He says, "If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and also able to briddle the whole body." Notice the connection with the mouth and the body. Then he goes into how we control a horse by putting something in his mouth to turn his body and the right thing in your mouth will turn your body. He then goes into how a ship is controlled by a very small rudder wherever the one steering the ship turns it no matter how strong the winds. So your tongue even though it is small will turn you from sickness to healing no matter how fierce the sickness. So be careful what you speak about your body, stop talking about your old bones and how is only natural to loose your memory when you get up in age. This disease runs in our family. The Bible says God satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles (Psalms 103:5). It's your confession of the word that will bring healing as in Romans 10:10. Notice it says, "With the heart man believes unto rightousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" that word salvation in the greek is translated as healing. Your words are very important so make the connection of the mouth and body.

The Battle Is Not Yours
The battle is not yours it's the Lord's. But, He has to fight your battle through you. He has given you a weapon and it's up to you to use it. The weapon He has given you to use is his word (Ephesians 6:17). And it's powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword (Hebrews 4:12). In life you have a choice either you can fight the battles in life in your own strength or in the power of God.
Notice in Deuteronomy 7:1,2 it says, "When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater than thou: And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them...." Notice it says that the Lord was going to cast out the nations before them and deliver them before them, how was he going to do it. By Joshua following his instructions "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth" and as a result of him doing that it says that Joshua would make his way prosperous (Joshua 1:8). Joshua and the children of Isreal defeated seven nations greater and mightier than them with the sword of God's word.
In 1Samuel 17 a boy named David went up agianst a great man of war named Goliath while the armies of Isreal hid. But, David knew how to get the victory and it was going to have to be by his mouth. Saul even tried to put his sword on him and David turned it down. This battle was more than a battle with weapons, it was a battle of words. Notice that Goliath shouted some things at David and David responded with his own words. David won the battle with his words before he picked up a stone. Notice in verse 47 David said, "And all the assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands." The battle was the Lord's and He fought it with the words David spoke out of his mouth. In verse 50 it says David slew Goliath with no sword in his hand, that's because the sword was in his mouth and the sword in your mouth will always defeat a sword in the hand. So in every battle of life be sure you use your sword.
Notice in Deuteronomy 7:1,2 it says, "When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater than thou: And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them...."
