Speak And Step Into God’s Supply (Part 1/3)

Believe And Speak God’s Promises

It was a morning like any other morning. Michael, one of my congregation members, had just dropped his younger son off at kindergarten after planting a big kiss on the boy’s cheek, and was carefully maneuvering the rush-hour traffic on his way to work. The tarmac was packed with a teeming hive of motorists eager to get to their destinations.

Michael was tuned in to his favorite radio station as usual, when he suddenly felt prompted to speak God’s favor and protection over his family. He recalled the sermon I had preached the previous Sunday on speaking faith-filled, positive confessions, so he turned the radio off and began declaring aloud, “No weapon formed against us shall prosper. No evil shall come near our dwelling. We are blessing in our coming-in and going-out because God’s favor surrounds us like a shield!”

Right about then, Michael’s wife, Mavis, was driving their older son, six-year-old Matthew, to school. He was seated beside her in the front passenger seat, quietly listening to one of my CD sermons. Suddenly, Mavis felt her body whip forward as the sickening sound of metal smashing into metal ripped through the air. A speeding car had hurtled into the rear of their vehicle with such great force that the car flipped over and spun uncontrollably on the busy road. With her world literally turned upside down, Mavis held on to one name and screamed it over and over again—“Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!”

When the car finally stilled, they climbed gingerly out of its smashed remains—completely unharmed. Amid the wreckage and chaos of a terrible accident that involved two more vehicles, Mavis and little Matthew stood by the side of the road, enveloped in the peace of their Savior. They had literally walked away from a potentially fatal accident without so much as a scratch! The passers-by who had rushed to their aid were amazed that they were miraculously unhurt. With my preaching about the Lord’s grace still blasting from the overturned vehicle in the background, Mavis instinctively began to testify to concerned strangers about the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

Hallelujah, all glory to Jesus for His favor and protection over this family! Nothing could have prepared mother and child for those terrifying moments. And nothing could have been more powerful or timely in activating the Lord’s protection over the precious pair than the name of Jesus cried out in faith, as well as those powerful God-breathed words of protection spoken by Michael, who was in another part of the city and had no idea of what had just happened.

I thank God that the precious lives of Mavis and Matthew were preserved. They could have been killed or seriously injured, but Jesus saved them. And I have no doubt that Michael’s Spirit-led speaking played a part in activating the Lord’s timely protection over his family.

My friend, I share this testimony with you to highlight the importance of speaking or declaring the blessings we already have in Christ. God is constantly supplying grace, health, protection, deliverance, and whatever you need in life because of the finished work of Jesus. Here, I want to share with you how you can tap into the supply that is already available to you, so that you can experience these blessings in your life in a greater measure.

Over the years, as I have preached and taught on the subject of faith, the Lord has shown me that many believers are not experiencing the breakthroughs they want because they are not speaking out what they believe about the Word, but are speaking about what they see, feel, and experience in their circumstances. For example, while many Christians believe that by Jesus’ stripes they are healed, they are not speaking in line with this truth. Often, they speak about their symptoms and what they feel—“This headache is killing me!” “I feel awful today. I just knew that I would catch this flu bug from my colleague.” Others just suffer in silence—literally. They don’t say anything—good or bad—because they have resigned themselves to the negative situation.

 

Don’t just believe God’s promises, speak them out too!

 

My friend, God doesn’t want you to suffer in silence or to put up with any sickness or lack. His will is for you to be healthy, well provided for, and full of joy and peace. That’s why He gave you the power to change your circumstances, and that power lies in your mouth. As God’s child, you can speak positively into your negative situation and see it change for the better, just like how Michael and Mavis spoke in line with God’s promises and turned a potentially tragic accident into a glorious testimony of His goodness. So don’t just believe God’s promises, speak them out too!

Perhaps you are suffering a sickness that doctors say you have to be on long-term medication for and your heart’s desire is to be healed. Or maybe you have a debt that you need to pay off. These are needs that God has taken care of through Jesus’ perfect work at the cross. So instead of talking about how bad the situation is, start speaking life into your situation. Say, “Sickness, be plucked out by your roots and be gone from my body in Jesus’ name! By Jesus’ stripes I am healed! Instead of worrying about your debt, say, “I call my debt supernaturally cancelled in Jesus’ name. My God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory!” If you want to see good days, then keep your tongue from speaking unbelief, and release the power and life of the Lord through your mouth into your situation!

 

Say What God Says

Now, I’m not talking about suppressing our feelings or pretending that sicknesses don’t exist. But God wants us to walk by faith and not by sight. Stating the obvious doesn’t change anything and will only make us more fearful. Speaking the good that we want to see, on the other hand, gives us hope, builds faith, and changes things for the better as God’s power is released. In the creation account in the Book of Genesis, God created good things by speaking. For example, He said, “Light be,” and light was. (Genesis 1:3) God saw the darkness, but He called forth what He wanted to see. Similarly, if you want to start seeing good things happen in your life, start speaking and declaring the promises in God’s Word!

 

Say what the powerful, life producing Word of God says about you, your future and your life!

 

You see, to lay hold of all that God is freely supplying to you, to have Him save you from whatever you need saving from, you need to operate the way He does—open your mouth and speak what you believe about His Word. Romans 10:10 says that “with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Salvation from eternal death, destruction, sickness, poverty, and depression comes when you say what God says about your situation.

My friend, if you want to see the power of God come into your circumstances, you need to realize that it’s not what the doctor, your friends or even your enemies say about you that matters. It’s what you say about your circumstances, your future, and your life that matters. Life and death is in the power of your tongue, so say what the powerful, life producing Word of God says about you, your future and your life!

    I thank God for you, Pastor Prince. I watch your program on TBN almost every day. I am thankful for the insight God has given you into His word.

    I am 68 years old, and have been “healthy” all my life, except for a few surgeries over the years – nothing very serious. Last year, I had pneumonia 4 times, the last of which almost took my life. I was in the hospital in Abilene, TX for 17 days. While there, my pulmonologist had to call in an infectious disease doctor because through bloodwork, they discovered my immune system was highly compromised. It was difficult for me to fight any “cold” or disease, etc. I had to receive an IVIG infusion to help boost my immune system.

    After my follow-up visits, I was told I would have to receive these infusions every month for the rest of my life to the tune of $30,000 to $40,000 for each one! I praise God that my insurance approved it, and I was also able to receive financial assistance from the hospital. I was told I would only have to pay $25.00 for each infusion.

    However, during my follow-up visit, my infectious disease doctor noticed a very high number on one line of my blood work chemistry report that sent up a red flag. She sent me to an immunologist, who took yet more blood from me to see if for sue that number was correct. The IGM number was 3,990, when the normal range should be between 150 and 300! So now, I had to see an oncologist!

    Many tests have been taken by the oncologist. More blood work, CAT scans, whole body X-Ray, all in an effort to figure out what’s wrong. I was told that everything – everything in my body is normal: Major vessels and mediastinal structures are within normal limits. No pulmonary nodules are present. Stomach and bowel are “unremarkable.” Liver and spleen are normal in texture and size. Gallbladder unremarkable. There is no lymphadenopathy in the abdomen or pelvis. Urinary bladder is unremarkable.

    The oncologist told me that although I am 68 years old, I have the body of a 50 year old! (Lol!) But……there’s just one thing wrong. In one of my blood cells, the B Lymphocyte keeps reproducing, causing that very high number. My oncologist thinks I may have what is called Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, a very rare cancer where they say that only 6 cases per million people per year get this in the USA.

    All joking and kidding aside, I am trusting my Great Physician and Healer to completely heal me, and would appreciate you joining me in prayer. After all, if I’m really only 50, I have a long way to go!

    P.S. I teach Sunday School in our small church in O’Brien, TX and I live in Knox City,TX. I’m finishing the Book of 1 John to help people understand what it says about being a true born-again Christian, and being aware of false teachers. My next study will be on Satan, angels, hell, and heaven, so that people can be aware of him and his agenda. Our God is a Great & Mighty God, and I want my class to understand just how great He is! Thank you for your prayers!

    Thanks for the inspiring message. We should Pray and Believe in God’s words.
    I have few questions.
    Is there a intermediate place between Heaven and Hell, where few souls who did not do major sins stays for a period of time there before taken to heaven or other judgment? Do our prayer helps those soul to reach heaven?

    SPEAK! SPEAK! SPEAK!
    for with our hearts we believe unto righteousness-that we’re ALL His righteousness in him, so because of that we confess it. Just take it as a child would from a good daddy. God said to me: my DEEP love for you has already created the supply for a life time.
