Faith will bring victory

The Bible declares that without faith it is impossible to please God.  Why do we have such problems believing God?  Why is our faith so weak?  The Bible states that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.  If you have trouble with your faith it is because you haven't been putting much into your tank regarding God's word.  The word of God is our fuel.  How did men like Paul and Peter do what they did in scripture?  They were in the word of God.  Peter walked around with the word and became what he heard and saw.  Paul was a student of God's word and once the Spirit of Christ came upon him and he was born again he walked in a level of faith that few men have walked in.

So if you are wanting to see God do mightily things in your life it is time to get out of your comfort zone and start walking on water.  Feed on God's word and obey his voice.  As you do your faith will be strengthen and will produce the victory in every area that God intends. 

What about your Mouth?

As I was reading the Bible this morning I noticed just how much power we as God's children have within the power of our mouth.  The Bible states in the book of Proverbs 13 verses 2-3 the following;" A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.  He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction."  What these scriptures are saying is that what we say does matter.  Have you ever noticed how people will say things like "that kills me", or "drop dead" etc., etc. The Bible also declares that every idle word will be judged.  Does these comments fit that bill?  God created man to have a positive affect upon the world and to tend it and keep it.  The devil wants control of your mouth because he wants to use our words to help bring death, destruction and mayhem to this planet.

The key to keeping one's words pure is what one puts in.  For the word of God declares that it is out of the heart of man that our words come from.  To make sure that one is saying what God is saying we have to put the word of God into our hearts.  The more of the word one puts in the greater the chances are you will see it come out of your life in moments of stress and or pleasure.  Remember people of God we are created in the image of our Creator.  He spoke the world into existence.  We don't have that kind of power, but we do have the ability to create our own "little world" that we live in by what we say.  If you don't like what have now maybe it is time to check your "mouth".
