Shalom,

Our website for The Spoken Word Church is filled with resources for your personal study. There are articles to read, sermons to listen to, a Bible Plan to follow and a daily devotional, to name a few! I want to share the Spoken Word devotional for today!


Your mountain is any problem that you are facing. Address it with authority and command it to move in the Name of Jesus. Every mountain is a servant to your faith. It must obey. Few have mastered the art of verbally commanding their mountains to move. Losers talk about their mountain. Champions talk to their mountain.
"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." (Mark 11:23)
The key to obeying the Scripture above and getting results is that we must believe that what we say WILL come to pass! The only way to have the faith that this will happen is to continue to meditate daily on the promises in the Word. Promises like this in John 15:7:

If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. AMP

To abide in Him means to have intimate fellowship with Him! We do this through study and meditation of the Word, through prayer and through praise and worship. We have this prayer promise in 1 John 5:14-15:
14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him. AMP

Pray according to His will, which is revealed in His Word, and you can KNOW that you have the answer the moment that you pray! Find out what the Word of God says about every situation that you are facing. Spend time listening to Holy Spirit Who lives inside of every born again believer. Be filled with the Spirit so that you can communicate spirit to Spirit with Him and receive specific guidance on how to carry out the general guidance that is found int he Word! HE has given us everything we will ever need to be victorious in every situation in this life, and to represent Him well, drawing attention away from ourselves and onto HIM, so that people who are not yet believers can become born again believers! THAT is HIS #1 priority, and it SHOULD be ours! AMEN! Here is a new song from Hillsong United called "Prince of Peace":



Shalom in Him!
