God is creator. How did He create, by his words. And God and his words are one (John 1:1). So, whatever God can do his word can do. That's important because the Bible says his word is his power (Hebrews 1:3 Romans !:16). When God gave you his word He gave you the very thing He used to create. And God said his word would not return to him void, but it shall accomplish that which He pleases (Isaiah 55:11). In Hebrews 11:3 it says, through faith the worlds were framed by the word of God. So God created by...

A leper came to Jesus and said "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean" and Jesus moved with compassion put forth his hand and touched him and said "I will; be thou clean" and immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was clean. The beautiful thing about this is that you are not suppose to touch a leper, but Jesus had such compassion and a desire to see him delivered He put forth his hand and touched him. People have no problem believing that God can do something about their situations they just don't know if He will....

Sometimes when people go through something for a long time they tend to lean to the idea that things will always be that way. They get used to being in that situation. But, God is still on the throne and He hasn't given up on you and don't you dare give up on him. It doesn't matter how long you have a problem the power of God is still able to turn it around. He's still the God that it's nothing to hard for him, for with him all things are possible. There was a woman with an issue of...

In Mark 9:17-27 a man brought his son to Jesus disciples and they could not help him. Jesus told the man to bring his son to him and the man said to Jesus "If you can do anything have compassion and help us." What God can do is never the question. For with God all things are possible (Luke 1:37). The question is what can you believe. Notice Jesus took the focus off of what God could do and put the focus on what the man could believe. In other words Jesus was saying you take care of your part...

The story of Jesus birth is interesting because it shows us how to receive all the promises of God. I know people like to put everything on God, but you have a part to play in receiving the promises of God. There's a spiritual exchange that has to take place. Notice in 2Corinthians 1:20 "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." The yea is God's part and the Amen is our part. Notice God has a part and we have a part to play. What does...

What does magnifiy mean, it means to make bigger or enlarge. You can't make God larger than He is, but you can make him larger in your sight. What you meditate on you magnify. You've been meditating on your problems magnifying it in your sight. And the more you meditate on your problems the more you shrink God in your sight. Just like the children of Isreal when the 12 spies saw the giants that were in the land they came back and reported what they saw to the rest of the people and said we were but like grasshoppers...

Finally, my bretheren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might (Ephesians 6:10). Don't try to fight life's battles in your own strength. When David slung that rock he didn't sling it in his own strength, but in God's. And the victory over Goliath started in his mouth. 1Samuel 17:34-37 34. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his fathers sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. 35. And I went out after him and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and...

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all (Psalm 34:19). But, that's not all the Bible has to say about your afflictions. IICorinthians 4:17,18 says your afflictions will be light and for a moment, and work for you while you look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. So not only will God deliver you, but while you are going through your affliction it can be light, and for a moment and work for you. But only if you look not at the things...

Sometimes troubles might be overwhelming, but there is hope. The exceeding great power of God is toward us who believe (Ephesians 1:19,20). The same power of God that raised Jesus from the dead is available to raise you out of whatever you are in. Your problems can't keep you down, you too shall rise out of whatever you are in. The same power that raised Jesus and sat him at God's right hand also raised us up together with him and made us sit together with him (Ephesians 2:6). And that's the power God's wants us to walk in. God...

Sickness is a spiritual issue. Sickness is only a physical manifestation of a spiritual issue. If there was no sin there would be no sickness. So the root of sickness is spiritual. So to deal with sickness successfully you have to attack it at the roots. When you attack sickness at the roots then the fruit can't last. Notice when Jesus cursed the Fig tree it dried up from the roots. Once the roots dried up the rest of the tree had no choice. And to attack sickness at the roots it takes the word of God (Pro. 4:20-23). Adam...

Jesus gave you his authority to rule in life. That's why He said to his disciples "Occupy till I come", in other words you hold things down until I come back. Well if He told you to occupy until He comes then He empowered you to do it. That's why He said "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you will say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and it shall obey you" (Matthew 17:20). A lot of times when we approach a mountain we have the wrong view point....

There are benefits that came with the blood of Jesus. Some things have be done for you that God wants you to walk in. Jesus shed his blood and died for you to have them so they are yours. And as yours it's up to you to receive them and not look for God to give them. Like in Luke 15:29-31 in the parable of the prodigal son as long as he waited for the father to give him what was his he never got it. It was up to him to receive what was his. I want to talk...

Understand the High Court Of Heaven: God is the judge- Hebrews 12:23 Jesus is your lawyer- 1John 2:1 Satan is the prosecutor- Revelations 12:10 There are witnesses- 1John 5:8 There is evidence- Hebrews 11:1 There is testimony- Revelations 12:11 As always during a trial words are very important. Because every word will either be used for you or against you especially your words. That's why Jesus said "Let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil" (Matthew 5:37). And "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,...

What can faith do? Everything you see originated from faith (Hebrews 11:3). And faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1). So I can take faith and see what God has spoken in his word in this physical world. How? By releaseing the substance of it out of your mouth. Notice it says faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith is the proof that what you are believing God for already exists. It's a matter of releasing the substance of it for it to become physical. Everything in the...

God does not have to create your breakthrough. Your breakthrough or your answer already exists. You may not be able to see it but it already exists. Because faith is the substance of things (Hebrews 11:1). And a thing is only a thing when it exists. If it did not exists you couldn't have faith for it. The Bible says while we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen (2Corinthians 4:18). Notice it says to look at the things which are not seen. You can't judge whether something exists or not...

There is a principle in the Bible established by God that if you get a hold of you will be a lot better off. In Genesis chapter 1 we see the phrase "God said and it was so" over and over. What is the principle? What God said is so whether you see it or not. Just as sure as God said and made this physical world, God said and made the spiritual (invisible) world. There is an invisible world. Notice in (Colossians 1:16) God made all things visible and invisible. An invisible God created all things (Colossians 1:15). In...

There are spiritual truths that produce physical results. The entire physical realm came out of or originated from the spirit realm. God is a spirit and all things started from "and God said." So if you know how to operate in the spirit realm then you know how to litterally bring things into physical existence. But spiritual truths are sometimes unseen until someone uses their faith to bring them into the physical realm where they can be seen. Because faith is the substance of things. Faith is the substance that brings the spirit realm into the physical realm. A spiritual...

In the beginning God said "Let there be......." and it was so. Right away God was giving man a demonstration of dominion/authority. Now notice God said and it was so. And God said "Let us make man in our image and after our likeness" (Genesis 1:26). You are a spirit made in the image and likeness of God. And God said "Let them have dominion." God gave you an example of dominion everytime He spoke something it was done. He used words to get things done in the earth. And He made you like him and gave you what He...

In Isaiah 55:11 God says his word shall not return to him void, but it shall accomplish that which he pleases and it shall prosper in the thing where unto he sent it. Well, the only way his word can return to him is if someone speaks it. God has invested power in your words and his words are the greatest power. In the Book of Proverbs the Bible says a lot about your words. In Proverbs 12:6 it says something interesting it says- "The mouth of the upright will deliver them." And Proverbs 12:18 says "The tongue of the...

Spiritual created physical, God is a spirit and He created this physical realm. He created this physical world with faith and words. What God says is truth (John 17:17) even if you don't see it. Because his word makes things so (Genesis 1). God's word is so but it has no physical substance. In other words it is spiritual it can't be seen. But that's were faith comes in because faith is the substance of things. Everything on this planet originated from faith. Faith gives physical substance to spiritual things (Hebrews 11:1). So anything you want to get from the...
