Shalom,

"Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin for today is another very appropriate message for our times. 

Fruit of the Mouth

"A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled" (Proverbs 18:20). 

You won't get the blessings of God just because you believe. You don't get saved, healed, or get answers to prayer just because you believe. Most Christians think that is the case, but it isn't what the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches that you must believe and you must say something. 
For example, in order to be saved, Romans 10:9-10 says,
 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." 

Notice it doesn't say you'll be saved just because you believe. The very next verse says, 
"For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." 
Jesus didn't conclude Mark 11:23 by saying you'd have whatsoever you believed. He concluded it by saying, 
"He shall have whatsoever he saith." 

Faith is always expressed in words! The words that you speak not just on Sunday, in church, or when you pray, but the words you speak in your everyday life, at home, with your friends, and on your job determine what you have in life. 

Confession: I purpose that I shall speak only according to God's Word!
 
So many believers are 'waiting' on God to do something, when HE has told US that we can have what WE say! Knowing what the Word of God promises will do us no good unless, and until, we speak out those promises as if we were already walking in them! When WE speak God's Word, then HE will work to confirm it! We can have what WE say because there is POWER in the Spoken Word! So, SPEAK IT! Amen! Here is Hillsong United with "Say The Word":


Shalom in Him!
