Learn To Speak God’s Word

These statements are a matter of the heart. But are meant to be spoken out loud, by you to you. You will get them into your spirit faster if you do this. It is a proven fact that your mind and soul listen more intently to what you say more than what others say. So deliberately feed them into your spirit. Allow the Holy Spirit to make the Word of God a reality in your heart. Your spirit will become quickened to God’s Word, and you will begin to think like God thinks and talk like God talks. You will find yourself pouring over His Word — hungering for more and more. Remember, the Father rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

Speak these words aloud for you, all the world, and especially the angels (good and fallen) to hear. Do not be shy in speaking aloud God’s promises, for God’s Word is able to build you up. The great Charles Capps was told to practice this and he did so daily. After a short while he told the Lord, “Lord, I feel so terrible spouting these words since they feel like such lies!” But God told him to continue speaking them out loud day after day until they grew to be a part of his own spirit, and just to believe that what he spoke would come to pass, that God was trustworthy enough to make what was said a reality. So I speak God’s words, praying they will fill my spirit and soul as well, and make me a true believer in the mighty Word of my God.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord; may it be done unto me according to what You have said (Luke 1:38). According to my faith let it be done unto me (Matthew 9:29), because to a great extent in spiritual things, we get what we expect of the Lord! Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord (Luke 1:45).

The Word of God is living and active; sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joint and marrow. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). They are not just idle words for me. They are my life! By them I will live in the land (Deuteronomy 32:47). Blessed are they who do not doubt the Lord (Matthew 11:6).

You, my Lord, are faithful to all Your promises. Although You are sovereign and You do what You please, You are righteous in all Your ways and loving toward all You have made (Psalm 145:13, 17). These things He has spoken unto me that His joy might remain in me and that my joy might be full (John 15:11). For God has promised: “I am with you and will protect you wherever you go. I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken unto you” (Genesis 28:15).
