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.
