One of my favorite ministers is ... Charles Capps! Charles is a teacher of the word, a prophet, and a country boy! I just love his down-to-earth, practical faith statements!
My favorite teaching topic of his, though, is "your words". He always says, "there is a miracle in your mouth"! Believe it! I've seen it work for him, and it works for us too!
THE CONFESSION OF YOUR MOUTH
Jesus said that we will be held accountable for each and every
idle word that we speak! He went on to say, "By your own words will you be justified, and by your own words shall you be condemned." Do YOU want to be condemned? By your own words, no less I think not!!
Jesus also said that "if we believe", all things are possible! He even said that if a man would believe and not doubt in his heart (not necessarily the mind) that what he says would come to pass, that man could have
whatever he asks for! Hallelujah! That means that if you and I choose to believe (notice it's your
choice) that
our words have
power, and will bring about results, then we
can have whatever we ask of God!! Notice that it's God's
power that makes
your words come to pass! But this will not happen if you do not believe.
If you run along, just shooting your mouth off, having no regard for what you say, you
will NOT be able to walk in the power of God, where your words are concerned. BUT, if you will place a guard over your mouth, and consider your words
before you speak them, giving thought that you
expect them to come to pass, YOU WILL HAVE what you say!!
So,
set the pace for this year in your life! SPEAK IT!! SAY IT!! Put a sheet of daily confessions on your mirror and "say them out loud" ...
daily as you ready for the day. I encourage you, "MASTER" your day!! DEMAND that things fall into place ... for YOU, in Jesus name! YOU have authority! Stop using it against yourself, and start sowing "
good things" for you and your future!!
Make me proud!
