There is power in The Name of Jesus, and it is released in a spirit-filled believer as we begin to grow deeper and desire more of The LORD in us, so that we press into God and begin speaking God’s Word out loud into the atmosphere..
Why? First, it is in our heart, mouth, and in how we speak God’s Word to whatever situations arise.
“My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble on many things. If anyone does not stumble in words, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both saltwater and fresh.” James 3:1-12.
The world was created by God speaking it out.
He said, “Let there be light — and it was….”
We are made in His Image and like Him we can speak into our world using God’s Word to build and minister to transform our lives and others.
God’s Word is eternal and so deep it cannot be fathomed.
There’s The Sword of The Spirit — which is The Word of God.
Iron sharpens iron and it is good to stay sharp with that Sword, and to sharpen others in sparring. We all build on each other.
Haven’t you noticed before, that if we can just make it to The House of God, it will be alright?
You know, I find this to be true a lot because of the times we live in.
There is definitely increased Spiritual Warfare — exponentially — unlike we have ever witnessed.
This is not the time to put things off in The LORD — you might just miss it……!
We need each other, and it provides protection and also causes others to come together to pray for a stronger effect.
While we gather and assemble together we each strengthen each other.
We are created to be the body of Christ and scripture after scripture proves it and each part of the body is just as important.
The Sword of the Spirit can also be used for deep spiritual trauma and surgery to heal and mend wounds.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but God’s Word will never pass away!
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.
When releasing the Word of God into the atmosphere by speaking, it is a powerful way to pray and live.
When God deals with us, He is wanting us to change and we must be sincere.
For everything God has for us is out of His great Love towards us.
Even when it is for corrections that seems hard at times, but it’s for our best.
God is our creator and Father and He loves us dearly. He has invested it ALL for YOU!
He died so you might live!
I am a firm believer in being transparent, so nothing can hide in my life.
Also we need to confess some things to trustworthy people who know our lives and theirs.
Plus we must know their character.
We all need accountability, but especially leadership.
We must have mutual accountability so that we don’t suffer in silence.
We must be careful who we can trust to pray or speak into our lives.
Judgemental people come in all forms to say their opinions, but if we know who we are in Christ, who can stand before HIM?
Let them talk and complain!
You must be doing something right to have such words said about or against you. Christians are the worst when we wag our tongue.
The LORD knows the whole story and realizes He has it all under his control. He is not a God far off, but He is in us abiding in us as we abide in Him.
If you are accused or people are gossiping about you, don’t go behind them and try to vindicate yourself, for it is the foxes that spoil the vine — and I am not talking about the furry kind.
God has it all under control, but Satan wants you to engage where no one wins, as the thief comes to steal time and peace.
I have seen this and experienced this over and over. Let them talk and leave them in the hands of God.
God is very capable of working and doing what needs to happen.
Walk in your peace and joy and continue to move forward and avoid trying to fix things in the flesh.
It just stirs up more problems. Forgive, release them and let them go and get out of the way of The LORD’s hand of correction. Stay out of it!
Again simply forgive, release them and let it go! It has no power over us unless we open the door and let it in. Don’t engage with the devil.
Those who are mature know that God is with us and He is the one who establishes us and wins for us! We are His children and he loves it when we grow in knowing Him. He is a Very Good Father!
I confess daily that I am praying to live a fasted lifestyle so I can stay so very close and sharp like a sword for The LORD.
We all need a Spiritual Covering in a Church/Ministry where God has led us to be rooted and grounded.
These leadership teams are there to protect and guard over us. These will be those who love us and watch out for our souls.
We confess in agreement for mutual accountability with all leadership where God has placed us.
First, we must seek His Purpose or Mission and wait on God to reveal it to us.
Then once we do that, we must Confess to be obedient and yield to His Mission.
Mission Peoples — Hear Me!
There are places in the USA that are hidden, and when you come to one it is shocking to see the condition and culture being like a third world country!
There are still many places to work for The LORD in The Mission Field in the USA! Especially in the Appalachian Mountain region.
We must confess our faults one to the other in The Fear of God, and pray for one another to be healed.
- All hindrances and habits that stop the flow and purposes God intended for you, I take authority over all the plans of darkness that seek to keep you bound to earth life instead of Spiritual life.
The Spiritual has always been and the earth has history, but with God, He is eternal and so are we if we receive him as LORD and Savior.
I thank you LORD that I already own a mansion in The Kingdom of God in heaven!
You can have a mansion also, if you give your life to Jesus Christ. It is our eternal address and home!
Search your own heart and see if you are in the Faith.
I pray God keeps us humble, broken and lowly of heart so that no pride, arrogance, or haughtiness be in our lives.
Surrender your pride and humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that he might exalt you in due time.
Prayer
LORD, we know there will always be people who will judge us for various reasons!
But help us keep in mind how much you have promised us and have kept us hidden in the shadow of Your Wings.
As we mature LORD, being no more like children tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine…. may we learn and live according to The Word of The Living GOD!
If this message has witnessed to your Spirit or has somehow touched your heart, I want you to agree and speak this Prayer into the atmosphere over yourselves, your families and ministries.
Say this,
LORD, we don’t want to bring reproach to You or Your Church.
We recognize You are holding us accountable for more now and we ask that You help us LORD, for we are being held to a higher standard because of the hour we live in.
This higher path is actually the lower one, for we must increase and we must decrease and humble ourselves and “die to the flesh.”
We must allow You LORD to strip away the deeds of our flesh and help us learn to die daily.
And in NO way we will not attempt to elevate self, or selfish ambition.
You are everything to us, in Jesus’ Name!
We love you LORD!
“Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of The LORD: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and The LORD shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.” James 5:13-20.
In HIS Grace and Mercy,
