“And without faith, it is impossible to please God…” Hebrews 11:6   Understanding the power of your words and the power of stopping negative and faithless talk can change your life. There are many examples in the New Testament of people who got miracles because of what they said and didn’t say. In Mark 5, the woman with the issue of blood was very sick and had spent all of her money on doctors, but they could not help her. So she said to herself, “If I can but touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole.” The miracle started with her confession of faith. The power in her confession ..read more

It says, “Take with you words and turn to the Lord.” Take words with you. Don’t just go to God this week and say, “Lord, I don’t know what your will is.” Find specific scriptures for your situation.

If you plant flower seeds, it’s only a matter of time before flowers grow. Words are like seeds.

I and all I have are yours.’” Ahab, the king of Israel, was intimidated by the words of the enemy.    You may also allow the enemy to control the narrative of ..read more

A second little creature he talks about is “the cony.” The Bible says the cony is “a feeble folk, and he makes his home in the rocks.” The cony is very vulnerable, timid, and defenseless against predators in the forest. Because he can’t defend himself like a rattlesnake, porcupine, or skunk, he will instinctively look for a rock to hide in.   “He ma ..read more
