AUTHORITY TO SPEAK MY FAITH

Post date: Dec 5, 2014 4:59:16 AM

There are several things you cannot do without faith; there are battles you cannot defeat and there are situations you cannot change without faith. Faith is a shield in time of spiritual battle; faith is a defense in time of physical and spiritual attack; it is your strength in times of weakness and confusion; and faith is what draws you closer to God and keep you active in Him. Please do not allow any situation to defeat your faith in Christ; do not allow any situation to cause you any nightmare; do not allow any situation to change you for the worse; do not allow it to kill you or destroy your home, your marriage, your children, and your relationship; your faith is your joyful testimony waiting to happen and be seen by men. People have seen your pains in life, they have seen your cries concerning your finances, your marriage, your children and your job; it is now time for them to also see your joy coming as a result of your faith in Christ Jesus.     

The day God handed you the grace for salvation, the same He also handed you the ability and the grace to speak your faith and watch it grow to what you had desire. Speaking your faith is real declaration of the word of God working wonders in your heart; it is acting effectively on the truth as declared in the Holy Scriptures, and very rewarding to everyone who will be diligent and bold enough to declare them irrespective of the people watching and the mountains standing to prevent them from happening. For the word of God to be effective and active in your life and in the situations you want changed, it must be spoken out. There is power in your tongue when used consistently to speak what is pleasing and acceptable to God concerning your life and the situation you face and there is life in every word of God you speak irrespective of your location.

Speaking your faith in Christ Jesus and His words is an active way of contradicting the words and desires of the devil. Your faith expresses your belief; it tells your expectations in life, it shows your best desires, your cherished dreams and the vision you uphold in that particular situation questioning and troubling your life. Your faith tells how strong your expectations in true godliness are; faith tells of your immediate reaction to situations and how your long term behavior will be. Your faith speaks of your inner thoughts and your heart feelings. Your faith is your Christianity in action. This is what Jesus did to change a situation and what He said thereafter:   

“The next morning as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. He noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off, so he went over to see if he could find any figs. But there were only leaves because it was too early in the season for fruit. Then Jesus said to the tree, may no one ever eat your fruit again. And the disciples heard him say it. The next morning as they passed by the fig tree he had cursed, the disciples noticed it had withered from the roots up. Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, look, Rabbi. The fig tree you cursed has withered and died. Then Jesus said to the disciples, have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, may you be lifted up and thrown into the sea, and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24

Your faith must be strong to move your mouth to speak, before it is strong enough to move your mountain. If you cannot speak your faith, you will not be able to effect changes to your various mountains. There may not be enough faith in your heart right now to speak, but there are enough promises in the scriptures to grow your faith and put the words in your heart and in your mouth. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Whatever is in your heart will come out. Put something good in there and speak them in faith and the result will surely follow. God had given you the authority to speak your faith out. For prayers, Click here
