Shalom,

I LOVE today's "From Faith To Faith" devotional by our partners, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland!

Talk Like God!

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

Jesus didn't say, "Whosoever shall speak to God about this mountain." He said we should speak directly to the mountain the desired end result.

From a worldly point of view, that sounds foolish. But 1 Corinthians 1:27 explains that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. It's always going to sound foolish to the world when a Christian talks as if what God has promised is reality, especially when those promises seem to contradict the natural evidence around us. But if you want to keep the enemy defeated, that's the kind of talking you'd better be doing.

The Bible says God Himself talks that way! In Romans 4:17, it says, "[He] calleth those things which be not as though they were." God doesn't wait for circumstances to line up before He speaks. He causes them to line up because He speaks. You can do the same thing if you'll make your words agree with His and speak them out of your mouth by faith.

"But what if nothing happens right away?" you may ask. "What if the circumstances don't immediately change?" When Jesus spoke to the fig tree in Mark 11:14, He didn't go back and check to see if anything had happened to it. No, once He had spoken it, He considered it done.

Follow His example. Let your faith speak. Agree with God's Word!

AMEN! Be a DOER of GOD'S WORD and watch HIM work it out for YOU! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":

Shalom in Him!

Shalom,

In our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today we read Proverbs 3. Verses 1-2 really stand out to me!

3 My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; 2 For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.

The phrase "let keep" is the Hebrew word "nasar". Strong's Concordance says: to guard, protect, maintain, obey. The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament says of these verses: The discipline of Wisdom requires faithful observance. WE have the CHOICE to obey God's Word, and receive the BLESSINGS that comes with it! I pray that YOU will make it YOUR detemined purpose to dig deeper into the Word of God this next year than you ever have before! The OUTCOME will lead to YOUR uplifting! Here is Brooke Ligertwood with "Ancient Gates"  because we have NOT outgrown them! 

 Shalom in Him!

Shalom,

I LOVE the devotional from The Spoken Word Church website this morning!

Draw up a Detailed Plan

Your vision is your future. The Bible is God's written list of goals. He wrote down what he wanted to happen. It may be difficult for you to transfer your thoughts to paper, but do it. Something wonderful starts happening when you actually see a blueprint of your future.

"And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." {Habakkuk 2:2}

"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." (Proverbs 29:18)

AMEN! And here to help with your worship is BrandonLake with "Heartfelt Hallelujah":
