God's Word on That

Using God’s Word and your faith to create spiritual force

  • God’s Creative Force – Part 3

    Your spirit is programmed by words: Faith comes by hearing the Word of God; fear comes by hearing what the enemy says.  No person in his right mind would go around confessing the same thing his enemy says – you have enough sense to know your enemy’s words are designed to work against you.  The devil wants you to create a distorted, unworthy, self-destructive image on the inside of you, with words authored by the enemy of your soul.

    Jesus didn’t say God would bring forth good things.  Man brings forth good things (Matthew 12:35).  Not out of his head or intellect, but out of his heart (Matthew 15:11, 18-19).  The last thing the devil ever wants you to see is the facts of the recreated spirit.  Here are some of those facts:

    1. You were created for GOD; you are His workmanship, not your own. (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8:12)  You have become a son of God so you can be a partaker of His divine nature, very capable of fellowshipping with deity.  Satan can’t do that.  He is a dead spirit, he cannot function in the realm of the God-life as man can.  The reborn human spirit is a higher creation!  Man was created to have fellowship with deity.
    2. You were created by spirit. The spirit of man is not of this world. The creative ability of man comes through his spirit.  When man has God’s Word abundantly abiding in his heart and speaks it forth in faith, he speaks spirit words that work in the world of the spirit.  These spirit words dominate the natural world.
    3. Your spirit can change the world. The words Jesus spoke (John 6:63) were of the Word of God. He released faith through the words He spoke.  His words penetrated the spirits of men.  Their spirits heard Him and they acted from their spirit on His spirit words.  (John 5:8; Mark 3:5; Mark 5:41; Luke 7:14; John 11:43) Spirit words spoken by Jesus ignited the faith that was already residing in these people.  It caused an explosion of God’s ability on their behalf.  It was all set in motion by words spoken in faith.

    Today many are born again and hear the Word, but hearing is not the foundation (Matthew 7:24-27).  Doing the Word is the foundation that made the one man successful in life.  God’s Word is the only true knowledge (Hosea 4:6), and it will make you stable even in the storms of life (Psalm 112:7).  Speaking God’s Word will bring God on the scene (Jeremiah 1:12), for He is watching.  To disagree with the Word opens the door to the devil. 

    The thief comes to steal (John 10:10).  Jesus came to undo the work of the devil (1 John 3:8).  Jesus purchased our freedom from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13-14).  We find in DEUT 28-30 the curse of the law. The Word says you are free.  Be smart enough to agree with God! 

    Now whether I ever get it or not, that’s up to God.  As long as I say what He said and do what He said to do, I am doing my part, and you can rest assured God will do His part.

    Learn to put the Word of God into confession form.  Then agree with the Word.  Look at Proverbs 14:3.  It tells us that the lips of the wise WILL preserve him.  They WILL preserve him through financial crisis.  They WILL preserve him when other’s say there is a recession or a depression.  His lips WILL preserve him if he confesses what the Word says, if he acts on the Word.  The knowledge we have, we are to use aright. 

    If you don’t act on God’s Word, you won’t be experiencing God’s best (James 1:22-25).  You have to speak the words to change the world around you.  Don’t be just listeners, but doers and so get the blessings of God.  Note also: A lot of folks seem religious, but the Word said if he doesn’t control his tongue, it will destroy all that he said he believed (James 1:26).  You need to KNOW what the Word of God says about you.  Determine now to know what the New Covenant (contract) says about you.

    Those who say they can and those who say they can’t are both right.  We must learn to use our words more effectively.  Today many Christians have been taken captive by their own words.  By the prayer of their own mouth they have been put in a position where they cannot receive from God (Hosea 4:6).  We have all done it at one time or another.  We have used our tongue to form the very words that defeat us.  We have prayed defeat and received defeat.  We have prayed the problem and it became a greater problem.

    God’s Word is spiritual law.  It functions just as sure as any natural law.  We have learned how to work with natural laws, like electricity and gravity.  If we work with the law of electricity, electrical force will work for us.  As long as we enforce the law that controls electrical force, it will produce energy… and yet it will produce no harm to us. However, this same force can destroy if the law that governs it is not enforced.

    So it is with words that come forth out of your mouth.  They will work for you IF you control those words and bring them into obedience to spiritual law; which is God’s Word [see yesterday’s bullet points]. This is not Christian Science; it’s Christian Sense!  We don’t deny the existence of the mountain.  We deny the right of the mountain to exist in our way. 

    It won’t happen overnight.  It won’t happen just because you say it once or twice.  It is going to happen though, if you continually affirm what God’s Word says – until it gets into your spirit and becomes a part of you.  The Word of God, engrafted in your spirit will deliver you from every circumstance of life (James 1:21).  If you find God’s Word for it, get it into your spirit.  If you will continually believe and affirm that Word, I don’t care how big the mountain appears to be, you should not be moved by what you see.  You should only be motivated by what you believe.  The Word of God is the final authority on it all. We are to walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

    There was a time I was very low mentally and physically.  Negative thoughts in my mind did not agree with the Word of God.  Then the enemy tried to convince me I had failed God and that was the reason I had lost everything and God was mad at me.  (I know this story sounds familiar to many because it is one of the devil’s favorite lies he uses to bring condemnation and confusion to God’s people.)

    I remember one morning I was praying and I said, “Father, I have prayed and it is not working out.”  He spoke inside my spirit so plain: “What are you doing?”  I said, “I’m praying.”  He said: “No, you’re complaining.”  Then He asked: “Who told you it is not working out?”  Now that shook me!  I thought for a minute then said, “I guess the devil said that.”  Then He spoke into my spirit some things that totally transformed my life.  He said: “I would appreciate it if you would quit telling Me what the devil said.  You have been praying for me to prosper you and get the devil off your back.  I am not the one causing your problems.  You are under an attack of the evil one and I can’t do anything about it.  You have bound Me by the words of your own mouth.  And it is not going to get any better until you change your confession and begin to agree with My Word.  You are operating in fear and unbelief.  You have established the words of the evil one in your behalf.  By your own mouth you have released the ability of the enemy and if I did anything about it, I would have to violate My Word.  And I can’t do that.”

    You see, I had just gotten enough of His Word in me to where He could talk to me intelligently about the problem.  Until then He had no basis on which to talk to me for I had cast out His Word and quoted the enemy.  Over a period of the next few months He spoke many things into my spirit that totally upended my way of thinking.  God said, “I am for you.  I want you to prosper, but I want you to do it in a way that will work an eternal value in you, by using your faith and acting on the Word.  The power of binding and loosing is not in heaven; it is on earth.  And if you don’t do it, it won’t be done.  Study and search My Word for promises that pertain to you as a believer.  Make a list of these and confess them aloud daily.  They will build with your spirit over a period of time.  Then when these truths are established in your spirit they will become true in you.”

    This is the secret of faith: continually saying what God said.  So for two and a half years I studied the Word of God and made my confession list.  Many people want to know why it won’t work for them when they have not meditated on the Word and would not dare say anything contrary to their sense knowledge.  Sense knowledge says “all my needs have been met” is telling a lie.  But how can you be telling a lie when you are speaking truth (John 17:17)?

    Prayer became a challenging experience of forgetting circumstances.  It was exciting to confess I have abundance and there is no lack when the lack was very apparent.  One morning as I was confessing the Word, I stopped and said, “Lord, You know I don’t believe all this I’m saying is true in me” – it was that old sense tradition coming through, making me feel like I was lying.  The Lord answered, “That’s all right, son, just keep saying what the Word says until it becomes a part of you, then it will be true in you.”  So I kept confessing.  When it became formed in me, I realized I had broken into a realm of faith I never knew existed! I could now make those statements with full assurance that God would honor His Word.

    Confess the Word of God instead of negative things.  You may say “How long do I confess it?”  All of your life!  In every situation, for every reason under the sun. Just agree with the Word of God.  Don’t worry about having faith. Faith will result from reading God’s Word (Romans 10:17).

    As you act on these principles, you may not be without battles.  But you WILL NEVER LOSE THE WAR!  These are simple steps in living a victorious Christian life.  Begin today to apply these principles in every area of your life and as you do you will experience God’s power and provision at work for you.

    Above all remember: Don’t put your faith in faith – put your faith in your God who handles your faith.  Jesus is the Author of your faith, He gave to you that first measure of faith.  Jesus is also the Finisher of your faith.  He will direct you how to use it, what to have faith for, and how to build your faith. Just ask and trust Him.

  • God’s Creative Force

    Lately, during this Lenten season, I have prayed for God’s guidance on what to include in this blog, what He wants His children to read. And I keep coming back to the sermon on “The Tongue – A Creative Force” by Charles Capps. I started this blog because of the idea Jesus put in my mind that His children need to see God’s Word in practice; to learn how to plead the promises of God using the Word of God to booster their faith. Charles Capps was the pioneer of such things as these, and said them very succinctly. So I will present his thoughts in hopes that this blog will accomplish what Jesus and I had set out to do.

    Where do the good things in life come from?  Jesus said they come out of your heart (Matthew 12:35).  He didn’t say they came from staying up late hours and working your fingers to the bone.  He said the good things of life come out of your heart, whatever you store there, the information you program your spirit with will produce for you.  It always produces after its kind.  Faith produces faith.  Fearful words produce fear.  The way you program your spirit with the Word of God is by saying the things God said about you in His Word.  Imitate God! 

    Truth is the stabilizing force of life.  Jesus spoke God’s Word continually.  He was established in His Father’s Word.  He overcame the world, the flesh, and the devil by the spoken Word. The only thing Jesus used against the devil was the spoken Word of God.  Jesus spoke God’s written Word.  “It is written…”  Oh, Thank God, it is still written today!  However, in book form, the Word of God has no power until it is read or spoken by someone of faith.

    God’s Word, which is conceived in your heart, then formed by the tongue and spoken out of your mouth, becomes a spiritual force releasing the ability of God within you. 

    In August 1973, the Word of the Lord came to me saying, “If men would believe Me, long prayers are not necessary.  Just speaking the Word will bring what you desire.  My creative power is given to man in word form.  I have ceased for a time from My work, and have given man the balk of My creative power.  That power is still in My Word.  Yet for it to be effective, man must speak it in faith.  Jesus spoke it when He was on earth and as it worked then so shall it work now.  But it must be spoken aloud.  Man must rise up and have dominion over the power of evil by My Words.  It is My greatest desire that My people create a better life by the spoken Word.  For My Word has not lost its power just because it has been spoken once.  It is still equally as powerful today as when I said ‘Let there be light.’  But for My Word to be effective, man must speak it, and creative power will come forth performing that which is spoken in faith.“

    Spiritual Law is for your good.  It is to produce the things you need and desire.  Words are therefore very important.  Begin now to become Word Conscious.  Words are little seeds that produce after their kind. 

    Prayer is your legal right, it is your vehicle for you to use faith filled words to bring God on the scene on your behalf, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24) (John 15:11). It is the Word abiding in you that causes faith to be present in your words when you pray (John 15:7-8). Notice it glorifies the Father when you get your prayers answered and your needs met.  Your joy can be full if God’s Word abides in you. (Matthew 21:21-22) (Mark 11:23-24)

    Faith will make prayer work.  Prayer won’t work without faith, even though faith will work without prayer.  Prayer is one of the means of releasing faith, so if we line ourselves up with God’s Word and release our faith when we pray, we will see the power of God come alive in our lives. 

    Three things you must remember.

    • The spirit world is controlled by the Word of God.
    • The natural world is to be controlled by man speaking the words of God.
    • The spoken Word of God is a creative power.
