Speak what you want not what?

Words create, words have power. If you speak the Word of God you create the will of God. When you speak your problem or the words of the devil you create the will of Satan.

Mark 11:23 "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."


"Every faith principle, every spiritual law that God set forth in His Word was for your benefit. It was designed to put you over life." from God's Creative Power by Capps

Learn to speak God's will and create what you want.

Are you living in condemnation?

How often I have found myself under condemnation and even hiding from God because of the suspicion that He is blaming me! Has this happened to you?

Could you be putting the blame on the wrong Person? Romans 8:31 says that God is for us. God does not want us to live in guilt. God condemned sin in our Lord Jesus. Sin was paid for and when we believed on our Lord Jesus we were justified.
Though Condemnation still exists, it is not from God. God convicts of sin, but He doesn't condemn us. Conviction is for our good. It helps us to change but condemnation leads to punishment.

Of course when we sin or do wrong things we walk out of God's will. We may experience condemnation from society, Satan and personal conscience but it is not from God! Jesus makes intercession for us so He cannot condemn and interceed at the same time!
Satan is the one who condemns us, but the Holy Spirit has given us the power to escape that condemnation.

Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

Victory through the Spirit-controlled life

Romans 8:31: "What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
Do you ever find yourself fighting against self? That has been one of my greatest battles; the hopelessness of the flesh, failure to please God, the wretchedness of even failing to do what I want to do, which Paul points out in Romans 7

If you relate to that, don’t be discouraged! In Romans 8, Paul declares the victory we have through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in us. The tremendous victory available to us if we let the Holy Spirit live our Christian life through us.
The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us (8:26-27), God works all things together for our good (8:28), and we are predestined to be conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus (8:29).

And listen to the conclusion: “If God be for us (exactly what Paul has been saying throughout this chapter), who can be against us?” Yes, we have victory through the Spirit-controlled life.

Are you honoring God with your body?

Sometimes I feel like eating whatever I please regardless of the consquences?  I bet you do too. Have you noticed though that as soon as you get the urge to, you also get a nudging not to?  Your spirit listens to the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of you. He, the Holy Spirit is always reminding you that your body belongs to God. It was bought with a price; bought by the precious blood of Jesus. Of course God wants us to enjoy His abundant provisions. We can even create delicious delicacies from these great wholesome foods; but what we cannot afford to do is stuff our bodies, God's temples with junk (whenever we please).

Do you know that one way of honoring God is to present your body to Him as you treat it with respect and keep it in good condition?
Romans 12:1-2,1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Preach the Word of God

2 Timothy 4:2-5 NIV

Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Our commission is to preach the gospel, to share God's love and also to encourage each other to walk like Christ. How are you keeping your body, God's temple? Are you a good steward?

Are you drinking enough water?

Hydrating your body can make a difference between healthy joints and joint pains or between obesity and a healthy weight, between feeling tired and staying energetic & vibrant. Depriving your body of quality water is a choice that may lead to serious problems especially as you advance in years. Do you know that water is one of the great natural life bursting necessities our loving Father provides for our optimum health? You are constantly faced with a choice between a blessing and a curse, health and disease. What will you choose?

How do we honor God?

God honors those who fear (honor) Him. How do we honor God?
Love, trust and obey Him

God's Word does not return to Him void

"I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," Says the Lord, "And I will heal him." Isaiah 57:19 NKJ

Last week I had some challenges with my back. The pain was quite intense but I do praise God, for His Word on our lips and in our hearts works wonders. I was so encouraged and inspired by both Isaiah; 55:10-11 and 57:19 that now my back is as good as new.
Glory be to His Name

Called to be like Him

We can enjoy heaven on earth. We are called to be like Him in this world. Are you going to wait after you leave? How are you going to accomplish what He planned for you before the foundation of the earth?

Returning God's Word to Him

This week I had some challenges with my back but I was so encouraged and inspired by these scriptures from the book of Isaiah; 55:10-11 and 57:19.

“As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” NIV

"I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," Says the Lord, "And I will heal him." NKJ

God's Word on our lips brings: peace, health, healing and prosperity. How awesome!

Live a long healthy life

Do you know that God’s passion is for you to enjoy a long healthy life? He says in Psalms 91:16
“With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation” NKJ

The Holy Spirit is always speaking to us

How challenging last week was for me! A few times, I found myself going back and forth to the challenges, worrying in spite of my decision not to.
The good news is that the Holy Spirit is always speaking to us, guiding, encouraging and adminishing...

He kept on saying sternly, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. He has given you all things that pertain to life and godliness." Oh how I was lifted up. I have started the new week with vigor and confidence.
Do you know anyone with pressures and overwhelming demands?

Ephesians 6:10, 3:14-20

How do we get in His presence?

through the blood with thanks giving and praise

The power of the tongue

Do you know that the Word of God in your mouth creates? And the opposite is true. The words of the devil or unbelief lead to destruction and death.
Proverbs 18:20-21 "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled .
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." KJ

What are you speaking? Speak the Word of God and His will and you create life and healing.

I can do all through Christ

Do you ever find yourself discouraged after starting something which is very important to you? It has happened to me many times but you know what? The Holy Spirit always reminds me of Philippians 4:13 which says that I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. Meditating on this scripture energizes me.


“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” 2 Corinthians 2:14 NKJ

Prayer and the Word

We know there is power in the Word of God. But do you realize that for it to be effective it has to be spoken and applied? The spoken Word of God opens closed doors. It creates health and healing. It is the way we communicate with God and the right way to speak to and about ourselves. Jesus said in John 13:17 “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” Our empowerment to resist temptation, our ability to walk in faith comes from studying, meditating and doing the Word

Blessed are you if you do them

John 13:17 “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”

What is Jesus teaching us here? Blessed means empowered, so we are admonished to do what Jesus teaches so that we may be empowered to prosper in whatever He has taught us. But then why aren't most believers not prospering?

One of the most popular scriptures in the Bible is John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” But do you realize that most of us take it out of context? Jesus started addressing the believers from John 8:31 and continued on to verse 32. So it will be clearer for us if we use both verses together.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

How do these two scriptures compare John 13:17 and John 8:31-32? Now listen to James 1:25 “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”

Our empowerment, ability to walk in faith and enjoy the blessing comes from abiding and doing the Word. You are going to encounter a lot of arguments against this but always refer to what our Lord says and does. Knowing the truth without continuing in it will not set you free. If you want to walk in the blessing you must continue in the truth; hearing it, meditating it and doing it.

God wants you to live a full and complete life

Exodus 23:25-26 "But you - you serve your God and he'll bless your food and your water. I'll get rid of the sickness among you; there won't be any miscarriages nor barren women in your land. I'll make sure you live full and complete lives." The Message


Do you know that many believers dismiss the Old Testament as archaic? Don’t fall into that trap which the enemy uses to keep us from accessing our blessings from our loving Father God. All scripture is for our instruction, direction, correction and inspiration and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit we are able able to distinguish between personal opinions like the popularly quoted, “God gives and God takes away… ” by Job and God's instructions like our scripture above.

God wants you to live a full complete life. Worship Him in spirit and truth. Lead a lifestyle of thanksgiving and honor and He will bless your food and give you a long healthy fulfilled life.

Stay on fire but don’t get burned out

Mark 6:31, "And he said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place, and rest a while’: for there were many coming and going, and they not even have time to eat."

Are you on fire for God? That is a good thing. In our scripture, Jesus calls His disciples apart, most likely to eat and rest. Of course Jesus and His disciples were on fire for God, they were doing God’s business, but they still needed the rest.

Are you neglecting the need of resting your physical body? If you fail to give yourself the needed rest, you will probably get burned out. Do you know that you can cut your life short if you don’t get rest? Jesus and His disciples were going to this isolated place to get away from the multitude for awhile and rest. This rest was not optional, it was a matter of necessity.

Many times we fall into the devil’s trap, and keep ourselves so busy that we even fail to fellowship with God and draw from our Fountain of life. We don't take time to be still and know God (Ps. 46:10)? Remember, the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. If he fails to stop you from getting on fire for God, he'll try to get you burned out.

Get out of the boat; walk in God's power

"And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus." Matthew 14:29

There is great power in God’s Word. Look around you, God created the worlds through His Word and that is how He operates. Amazingly, the exceeding greatness of God's power is for us and at our disposal. In this scripture, Jesus uses the word "Come" to open the door for Peter's miracle. The Word is for our benefit. But of what use is it to us if we don’t know it? And of what benefit is it if we know that it has God's power but fail to utilize it?

This great power of God is in His Word. It is effectual only to those who believe it, take it by faith and walk in it without doubting. Unfortunately many Christians only know God's power but never walk in it. They stay in their comfort zone even as they quote God’s Word.

As you continue reading Matthew 14, you find that Peter did not only hear Jesus’ word "Come" but he put it into action. Of all the twelve disciples in the boat only Peter asked for a miracle, only Peter took Jesus at His Word and he was the only one to walk on the water. The others saw Jesus and Peter walking on the water but none of them took the step to participate.

Do you know that your life could be a walking miracle if you took God at His Word? One of the important steps in receiving a miracle from God is to and put yourself in a position where you can receive and be sustained. Leave your comfort zone, forget the security of your natural resources, that means 'get out of your boat and walk in faith without doubting'. God is no respecter of persons (Rom. 2:11).

NOTE: Do you have a word of inspiration? Please share with us. And if you need any help or answers don't hestate to ask. We will dig into the Word together and find the solution with the help of the Holy Spirit our Mentor.

Don’t fall for emotional highs

“If it feels good it is right” But is it good for you? Most of our health problems today stem from this mentality. It tastes good therefore I must have it. I don’t like the taste; it is not sweet enough, and so on.
Do you realize that being led by our senses and emotions, does not only affect our lives but the lives of our loved ones as well? Consider a mother who eats recklessly or smokes endlessly and ends up with health complications; her irresponsible acts will impact not only her life but also the lives of her children, husband and relatives. Emotional indulgences of any type can be destructive. God gave us senses and emotions for our good. Can we use them to lead a life of fullness and joy?

"Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." 1 Cor. 9:25-27

Walking in health

Thank You Holy Spirit for leading me and guiding me into all truth. Jesus is the Lord over my life therefore I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. I am not conformed to this world but I am transformed by the renewing of my mind. My mind is renewed by the Word of God.
Father, Your word is health to my flesh and strength to my bones. I hold fast to my confession of Your Word and I stand firm, knowing that health and healing are mine, in Jesus' Name.

John 16:13, Romans 12:1-2, Proverbs 3:8

Our Loving Father God

Do you ever meditate or ponder on your relationship with the Father Jesus referred to as His Father over 150 times and as our Father over 30 times?

Jesus instructed us to pray this way: "Our Father, Who art in heaven...." This title has become so common in the church today that we rarely perceive its real significance. Many of us relate God to our earthly fathers which is alright until we equate His love and care to the flaws of our earthly fathers. Some of us can't wait for that opportune moment when we will be free and indepent of Him just like a fourteen year-old eagerly waits for his eighteenth birthday!

If we really took time to know our Loving Father God as Jesus wants us to; if we tried to understand the affectionate "Abba Father" Paul refers to in Romans 8:15, if we had a glimpse of the kind, gentle, loving nature of our God (1 Jn. 4:8), we would yearn to be in His presence and seek every oportunity to stay in His secret place and enjoy every moment of our life with Him.

This relationship goes beyond any human relationship we could ever have here on this earth. It is a relationship of belonging to the Father, who loves us because we are His.

Why don't you ask the Holy Spirit to fully reveal Him to you. He will show you how to run to Him, drop all pretense and formality, and take your place of a favored, blessed child."

Submit to the Holy Spirit

Father God, in the name of Jesus I thank You that I shall prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers. I trust in You Lord with all my heart and I do not lean on my own understanding but in all my ways I acknowledge You. I submit myself to Your Word which exposes, sift, analyzes and judges the very thoughts and purposes of my heart. I constantly renew my mind listen to the Holy Spirit as He directs my path. Amen.
3 John 2, Proverbs 3:5

"For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [a]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." Hebrews 412 AMPLIFIED BIBLE

The Spirit gives life

"It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life." AMP

Let the Holy Spirit be your health mentor.

Are you weighed down by guilt?

Even after trusting Christ to save us, most Christians still experience spiritual defeat. One of the mistakes we make is trying to carry the burdens which Jesus already took.

Do you constantly feel guilty about your past? The devil is trying to derail you from your new journey. Remind him and yourself that you are the righteousness of God. Jesus took all your sins and even carried your infirmities.
But if it is a habitual sin, you do need to address the problem. Repent. Committing sin knowingly is exploiting God’s grace. But fear not.
1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Each new day ask the Holy Spirit to help you follow Him more closely as you meditate on the Word and walk in faith.
“Now, all glory to God, who is able to keep you from stumbling, and who will bring you into his glorious presence innocent of sin and with great joy.”
Jude 1:24 NLT

Always remember your righteousness is Jesus Christ himself, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

God wants the best for you

Lev 19:24-25

"But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God."
In verse 23, the children of Israel were instructed to wait three years before they even considered the fruit from the trees they planted.

As I was reading these verses this morning, I realized how far we have diverted from God’s original plan for our health and increase. I know some of you are ready to argue the fact that we are no longer under the law and I agree with you entirely. But don't forget that all scripture was inspired by the Holy Spirit for instruction and guidance. Therefore always listen to the Holy Spirit as you read and meditate on what He guides you to read.

In this scripture the following two points stood out:
1. Gratitude for what God provides for us. The fruit in the fourth year was set aside for thanksgiving and praise. 'A grateful heart does not complain!'
2. The maturity of the fruit: if we pick our produce before it matures, we interfere with its quality, both the yield and the nutrition of our food is jeopardized.

No wander our food lacks quality nutrients. To our loving Father, a mature apple had to grow its fruit for 4 years before they would be picked. This gave the tree time to produce both quality and quantity. But what do we do today? We fertilizers the soil and spray the tree and the fruits with dangerous chemicals so that we may get the harvest in one year!!!!
Madness isn’t it? Let’s go back to the basics. Back to nature, no tricks,.

When purchasing your produce, choose organic and live longer. God wants the best for you.

Exploiting God's grace?

Are you eating food you know is not good for your health on the presumption that you are "free". Of course Jesus set you free. Yet Jesus the son of God who was free to do anything never gave in to the devil's enticements in the wilderness or anywhere else for that matter. Instead being led by the Holy Spirit, He used the Word of God to resist the devil. Can we relate His answers to our present circumstances?
When you are led by the Holy Spirit, the devil may quote perfect scripture after scripture but that will not move you. You will know exactly what to say and what to do.
1. Luke 4:3 “If you are the Son of God, command the stone to become bread”. Did Jesus do it? Remember, He turned water into wine. Why didn’t He do it? It was not profitable. Read 1 Corinthians 10:23.
2. Luke 4:6 You may say that you cannot worship the devil but do you know that if you follow his suggestions he becomes your master?
3. Luke 4:5 He took Him to the high mountain and tempted Him to through Himself down. See how the devil quotes these scriptures perfectly? But Jesus would not budge. His answer was: “You shall not tempt the Lord your God.” And the devil departed.

What do you do when the devil or your flesh tempts you to turn God nutritious vegetables into stone? What do you do when he tempts you to eat 5 donuts full of corn syrup as he reminds you that you are free to eat what you want as long as you bless it?

Ah, but look at Like 4:14, “Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee….” You are supposed to convey God’s glory here on earth both physically and spiritually, does your lifestyle help you to do that?

Assess yourself and take a positive step to change. 1 Corinthians 10:23 '"Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive.' NIV
So you are free to eat what you want but still listening to the Holy Spirit will save you a lot of complications.
Jesus is calling us to change. Make the quality decision and be the ambassador He sent you to be!
