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.
