Words are carriers.

We speak words and the words we say become carriers.  When our words agree with God’s Word they will carry God’s Power with them.  When our words agree with the negative world system, they will carry the power of the world system with them.

If we could ever learn to talk right, speak the Word and only what the Word says instead of what we see and feel and think, we could experience a radical transformation in our situations and circumstances.

The Devil and his demons must submit to the Word of God that we speak.  When we come to see that all the death stuff that is happening to us is caused by the devil and his demons and then get a real revelation of the Power of the Word of God we will be on the road to recovery.  We will be positioned to change things in us and around us.

But as long as we set our tongue in agreement with death, we will have what we say.

We can Search out and find those God Words that contradict our particular problem.  They are in the Bible…. Find them!   If we are sick, look up scriptures about healing.  If we are afraid and depressed, look up scriptures that promise peace and assurance.    If we are struggling financially, look up scriptures that promise God’s provision for us.  If we are held captive by habit or addiction, look up scriptures that promise us deliverance and freedom.  Then we make those scriptures a vital and strategic part of our language.  We begin to articulate audibly and forcefully with our mouth what God has already said about us in His Word.

When we do this, we will begin to see immediate changes.  God honors His Word above His Name.  God sends His Word to accomplish and create His purposes.

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish (create) that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isa 55:11  

Word for Today:  January 26

The Glory of God.

The GLORY of GOD is the atmosphere of heaven.  You breathe it but you also absorb it.  It is the sustenance of your spirit.

AIR is the atmosphere of earth.  You breathe it and you absorb it. It is the sustenance of your natural life.

When we come into the Glory of God we are raised up into the atmosphere of heaven.

To come into God’s Glory is to come into His Literal Presence… to be Engulfed and Exposed to the Brightness and Effervesce of His Person.

The Glory of God has a destination.  It has a purpose.  It has an objective.  It will accomplish something.  There is a story behind the glory.  And we must go all the way to Genesis to find the beginning of that story.  Creation is crowned with the Glory of God.  Creation declares the Glory of God.

And God desires to share His Glory.  His Glory is the epitome of all that He is and all that He has done.  You cannot separate God from His Glory.  God and Glory are inseparable.  Where God is His Glory is.  Where His Glory is God is.  And God wants to share His Glory.  This is the reason behind Creation.  He created the Heavens and the earth as a demonstration of His Glory.   They are crowned with His Glory.  The Work of His Hands demonstrate His Glory.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.   Psa. 19:1  

The heavens and the earth and all that is in them can declare and demonstrate the Glory of God BUT they cannot share His Glory.

Only Man can share His Glory.

What a deal

Word for Today:  January 25

We are not what we were.

Yesterday.  Last Week.  Last Year.  10 minutes ago.  We are changing.  We are growing.  We are conforming more and more to the Image of Jesus.

God’s New Creation Army are Champions.   Achievers.   Overcomers.   Supernatural Men and Women and Children.  More than Conquerors.   That’s us.  That’s you and me.

• We are invincible to the forces of darkness.
• We live in health and prosperity and we walk in constant victory.
• We are New Creation Men and Women.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  2Cor. 5:17

We live by God’s Law of Life and we have been set free from the law of sin and death.  Sin, satan and failure have no dominion over us.

• We know who we are where we are going.
• We are not moved by fear or doubt or unbelief.
• We walk by faith and live by faith.
• We are a “Peculiar People” and Royalty through our Blood Line.

We are the Ones who will rule and run and reign on the earth in this emerging hour… we are the end-time army destined to defeat and destroy the works of darkness and the powers of the kosmos.

God has waited long and patiently for us to be birthed and developed.  He has Plans for us.  He has Provisions for us.  He has Power for us.

Our Time has come.

Your Time has come.

It is NOW

Word for Today:  January 24

New Things

We like New Things.  New is better than old or used.  New is the best.  It costs more, does more, lasts longer and looks better.

Jesus offers New Life and New Benefits and New Direction and New Position to every New Creation Believer.    The New Creation is to Live the New Creation Life, Enjoy New Creation Benefits and Do the New Creation Works.  Jesus has Chosen us, Birthed us, Baptized us, Equipped us, Commissioned us, and Empowered us.  We are His People, His Family, His Brothers and Sisters, His Body.  We are God’s New Creation.

“If any man be IN CHRIST…”

What does this mean?  It means if a Man is Born Again.

To be “In Christ” means to be “out of” Adam.    It means to be Born Again… Saved… Redeemed…

• Born Again is an Experience.
• Born Again is an Encounter.
• Born Again is a Personal Decision.
• Born Again is Supernatural.
• Born Again is God Coming into You.
• Born Again is a Work of the Holy Spirit.
• Born Again is the Impartation and Infusion of God’s Divine Nature in you.
• Born Again means Change.
• Born Again means Repent.
• Born Again means Like Christ.
• Born Again means Righteous.
• Born Again means Holy.
• Born Again means Different from the world.
• Born Again means New Creation.

It is not religion.  It is not good works.  It is not belonging to a church.  It is not being baptized.  It is not being sweet and nice and kind and considerate.   It is not being “better” than others.  It is being BORN AGAIN.

Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God…  John 3:3

Word for Today:  January 23

There is a practical application of the Word of God.

God does not tell us to do things that we cannot do. He does not instruct us to keep things we cannot keep.  He does not command us to accomplish anything we cannot accomplish.  God is not only Spiritual… He is also practical.  He makes it so that Spiritual Principles will work in a real and practical world.

To work the Word is not foolish or presumptuous.  To make practical application of the Word is not impossible.  God has given us the Word so that we might apply the Word to real, physical, natural life situations.

There is also a much broader dimension of the Word than most people realize.  The Word of God is not just the Bible.  The Bible is the written document that is the written Word of God but the Word of God existed before there was a written document called the Holy Bible.

John writes that “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God…”   God’s Word transcends the Bible.   God’s Word was existent before there was a Bible.  How can we know what God said if it is not written down for us to read and know?  We know what God said by knowing what God would say.  We know what God would say by knowing the Nature and Character of God.  God speaks in agreement with His Character.  If we know His Character, we will know what He will say or did say…  We know His Character by Revelation.

The Perfect and Complete Revelation of the Nature and Character of God is Jesus Christ.

“Jesus Christ came to earth and put a Face on God…”

Word for Today:  January 22

Faith produces Resurrection Life.

It produces the same kind of Life Jesus had (and still has) when He came out of the grave.

But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal (death-doomed) bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you…  Rom 8:11

Supernatural Faith moves the believer into the realm of Resurrection Life.   We are no longer in the grave-yard stage or the mortuary stage, we are in the Life Stage… the Supernatural Life stage… The Eternal Life stage!

Supernatural faith negates the power of death and energizes the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (Rom 8).

It is by this law that every believer should live.  And if they do, they will be continually swallowed up in victory.

… Death is swallowed up in victory.   1Cor 15:54

Word for Today:  January 21

It’s up to you.

• You will never do what you do not decide to do.
• You will never get what you do not decide to get.
• You will never get what you do not make up your mind to get.
• You will never receive what you are not committed to receive.

It is up to you.   God has given it.  Jesus has paid for it with His Blood.  Now, refuse to waver, to be moved aside, to take your eyes off your goal.  Refuse to back down. Refuse to compromise.  Refuse to be nice to the devil.

Refuse to “calm down” or “understand”… Be determined… get mad and be violent.  The “Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force…”   (Mat 11:12).

Just how mad are you at the devil?  How determined are you to take back what he has stolen?  How ferocious are you in this pursuit?  How enraged are you at the deeds of the devil and the kingdom of darkness? How much do demonic forces fear your resolve to overcome?

“Let not the sun go down on your wrath…”  In other words this can mean “Never let the sun go down on being mad at the devil….”

The ONLY legitimate avenue to release your wrath is to release it on the powers of darkness.

Get mad

Word for Today:  January 20

Joshuas

In this hour, God is raising up “Joshuas” to lead His people into the fullest realization of their Spiritual Inheritance.

They are commissioned to take His People into their Promised Land.  The “promised land” is not death.  The “promised land” is not heaven.  It is not the “sweet by and by…”

The Land of Promise is the Place of Total Provision the Blood of Jesus has purchased for every believer and for all time.

God wants us in there.  God wants us moving out of the desert of death and do-nothing and into the land of Milk and Honey.

Are you there?  Have you gotten in yet?  Are you flourishing and feasting and overcoming?  Are you out of sickness and into health?  Are you out of poverty and into wealth?  Are you out of worry and into peace?  Are you out of fear and into faith?

Don’t stay stuck on the wrong side of Jordan.

Today is your moving day

Word for Today:  January 19

Put off the Lie.   Eph 4:25

• satan never operates in truth.
• he is a victim of the lie himself.
• he was dumb enough to believe that he could be equal with God.
• he was deceived into believing that he could rule heaven.
• he is the father of the Lie and he is the author of the Lie.

Hell is the result of the Lie.

The world system functions by the Lie.

The cosmos is fueled by the Lie.

The fallen human race is cursed by the Lie.

Every evil known to man is conceived in the Lie.

The Lie produces death.  The Lie produces misery.  The Lie produces hopelessness.  The Lie causes pain, and defeat.  The Lie is the nature of satan, the driving force of all demons and the ultimate enemy of the Word of God.

Every failure is the result of the Lie.  Every heartache.  Every addiction.  Every divorce. Every abortion.  Every sickness.  Every defeat.  Every conflict.  Every misunderstanding.  Every broken relationship.  The Lie is every thing in thought or deed that defies the Character and Nature of our Loving Heavenly Father.

PUT OFF THE LIE.  Resist it.  Refuse to believe it.  Deny it.  Hate it.  Never listen to it or give place to it.  The Lie put Jesus on the Cross.  The Lie put Jesus in the Tomb.  The Lie put Jesus in hell.  But TRUTH brought Him out!

The Truth is the antithesis of the lie. The Truth is the death of the lie.  The Truth delivers from the effects  and the results of the lie.  The Truth produces freedom.  Deliverance. Victory.  And Real Life.  Eternal Life.

And you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free   John 8:32

Word for Today:  January 18

There is a much broader dimension of the Word than most people realize.

The Word of God is not just the Bible.  The Bible is the written inspired, infallible document that is the written Word of God but the Word of God existed before there was a written document called the Holy Bible.

John writes that “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God…”   God’s Word transcends the Bible.   God’s Word was existent before there was a Bible.

How can we know what God said if it is not written down for us to read and know?  We can know what God said by knowing what God would say.  We can know what God would say by knowing the Nature and Character of God.

God speaks in agreement with His Character, His Nature, and His Personality.   If we know His Character, we will know what He will say or did say…  And we discover and know His Character by receiving revelation knowledge regarding Christ.   Because Jesus is the Perfect and Completed Revelation of Who God is, What God is like and What God does and will do.

if you have seen me, you have seen the Father…  John 14:9
