You are what you eat or rather what you SAY

Say: to speak; declare; express an opinion. As I have been ingesting God's Word, I have been learning how important it is to speak the promises of God over my life. Remember Mark 11:22-23? It says, " Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, ' Be removed and be cast into the sea, ' and does not doubt in His heart, but believes that those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS."

I'm pretty sure you get what I am trying to SAY! Whatever we want for our lives, the promises of God, we have to SAY them, out loud. We release our faith by what we say with our mouths. God released His faith in words, so we need to do the same thing. The issue with us is that we have allowed the world to fashion our vocabulary in such a way where we are saying the wrong things. When we are diagnosed with a disease, we all of the sudden say that we "have" that disease instead of saying, " He has healed all my diseases..." (Psalm 103). I only "have" what I say, at least that's what I hear the Word of God saying to me.

7 years ago when I was diagnosed with ms, Chad, myself and those around me changed our language. We have never said that, " I have ms", but only that I was diagnosed with it. What Jesus is saying to us through Mark 11 is that, " I HAVE TOLD MY PEOPLE THEY CAN HAVE WHAT THEY SAY, BUT MY PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHAT THEY HAVE" (Charles Capp). This is so true to God's Word.

All those promises from God's Word that we are standing on, we have to SAY them and keep saying them and we will have them. We have to change our language no matter what the cost. No matter whether it sounds ridiculous or not. We have to say what we believe.

The question to ask today and to chew on is, what do you believe? Because what you truly believe in your heart of hearts, your spirit, is what will come out of your mouth. We have to get our spirits to that place where they are not double minded. We have to keep hiding God's Word in our hearts so that it is just second nature for it to come out of our mouths. We have to not doubt the promises of God and then when we say them, there will be great power released in our lives! Let's keep pressing in and moving forward together, let's get Heaven on earth by utilizing what God has given us.
