I've shared here before that the very first devotional that I read was Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food". Later the ministry also released his "Health Food" devotional which has the same format. I still love to use these and today they both have a similar message! That would be: Find out what God's Word says about you. Believe it and SAY it! Here are the two for today. Faith Food:
Strengthened
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1).
"Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed" (Romans 9:33).
The language of faith says:
"Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed" (Romans 9:33).
The language of faith says:
I can do all things in Christ. The Lord strengthens me. I cannot be conquered. I cannot be defeated. If a natural force comes against me, it can't defeat me, because there aren't enough natural forces in all the world that could conquer the Christ who dwells within me!Confession: (Make up your own confession from today's scriptures and faith thoughts.)
Greater is He who is in me, than he who is in the world. I am fortified from within. I've learned how to put Christ to work for me and in me. I have, dwelling in me, the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead! I have God's wisdom, strength, and ability in me. I'm learning how to let that wisdom govern my intellect. I'm letting God speak through my lips. I'm daring to think God's thoughts after Him.
He is the strength of my life, whom shall I fear? God has made me greater than my enemies. God has enabled me to put my heel on the neck of weakness, fear, and inability. I stand and declare that whosoever believes in Him shall not be put to shame. Therefore, I cannot be put to shame.
Health Food:
Only Believe
The following are two psalms the Holy Spirit gave me:
Fear and doubt -
The two tormenting twins of Satan
that have come down here to buffet you about.
Fear and doubt -
Weapons of the enemy
to unsettle your faith and cause you trouble
and worry and sickness too.
Fear and doubt come not from Heaven above,
but from Satan below.
Fear and doubt are not of God, as you well know.
But faith and love come from the Lord above.
Faith and love -
Walk in love and live by faith.
Shout above the turmoil. Shout above the doubt.
Shout above the fear. It is done! It is mine!
What God has promised, He's able to perform down here.
Fear not; only believe. Only believe.
Two little words - so simple and easy to receive.
"Only believe" is not enough for some who think they know.
Intellectuality said, "We must do something.
Yea, arise and work and strive and seek."
But "only believe" are the words that fell
from the lips of the Master for you to receive.
So receive His Words and only believe,
and find rest unto your spirit and soul and body too.
Only believe, for He every symptom will relieve.
Only believe, for He is your Healer, your Provider, and Friend.
Yea, only believe, for the Great Physician is at work within.

Confession
I resist fear and doubt. I will not waver in my faith, but will stand strong. I will believe and not doubt, for what God has promised, He is able also to perform.At The Spoken Word Church we know, and hear from our Pastor all the time, that there is POWER in the spoken word! Power in The Spoken Word Church, BY the spoken Word of God! We MUST get the Word of God in our hearts in abundance. We MUST meditate on it day and night (Joshua 1:8 AMP). We MUST speak that Word into our own lives and the lives of those whom we are responsible for! The WORD works, but only in and for those who will 'work it'! How do we do that? Mark 16:20:
And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).
AMEN! There is no greater authority that the Word of God (Psalm 138:2)! Make getting into it, and getting it into you, your top priority and you will see a complete transformation in your life. Here is a great song about the Word of God by Hillsong called "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
