What makes us unique in all of creation is our ability to speak. Words are the raw material of the universe. God created the world by speaking it into existence, and we continue His work in the earth by speaking His Words!

First Peter 1:23 tells us that the seed of God, His Word, is incorruptible. So we can have confidence and expectation that when we hear the Word of God and it lands in the soil of our heart, something good is going to come forth from it! Since God’s Word is incorruptible, it cannot be changed and is a force that has the ability to transform our lives!

Seeds are designed to produce, so if all you’re seeing are weeds and thistles in your life, then it’s time to change crops and plant better seeds! Where do you find good seed? Jesus said in John 6:63 that His words are spirit and LIFE. Clearing out the thistles and weeds of wrong thoughts and words, and replacing them with the seeds of life found in your Bible will produce life-giving harvests!

“Jesus, You went to the cross and took away all of my sin. You took every form of sickness and disease, and you died for me. Now I see every sin, failure, fear, and problem, every weakness, sickness, tumor, and autoimmune disease laid upon You 2,000 years ago. Lord Jesus, I know I am crucified with You, and now I live, yet not I but You are alive in me!   I exchange my old life and my old body for a new life and a new body.  I come out of the grave, I come forth from the tomb, and I declare I am saved, I am healed, I am delivered, and I am a child of the Living God! Thank you, Jesus, I have no fear of tomorrow, I have no fear of any diagnosis, I have no fear of failure or sin, because I am in You and You are in me!”

Even though Jesus had the most significant purpose on earth to accomplish, He was never in a hurry. He was confident that His mission would be completed because He walked in an intimate relationship with the Father. Knowing how important this is, why are we not making that kind of relationship with the Father a priority in our lives?

God wants to know you more than you have ever desired to know Him—He has given His all for you! You are a child of His great love, and there is nothing you can do to receive His blessing. He has done it all!

The free gift of a new life doesn’t come by our works, church participation, giving, speaking or good deeds. No, this new life begins the moment we believe and receive Jesus as our Lord…the One who took away the old sin nature we inherited from Adam, and gave us His nature and life in return! He paid the price we could never pay!

Many people fail to receive what they pray for because of lack of understanding about confession. The word confession in the Greek language means “saying the same thing.” This means we are to believe and say only what God says in His Word about our sins, sicknesses and everything else included in our redemption. When we affirm what God says about it, He watches over it to make it good!

God tells us in 2 Corinthians 9 that He gives seed to the sower. What seed from God do you have that you can sow? His Word is full of seeds, they are the truth of who you are in Christ, what you have, and what you can do. Find those seeds and start sowing them into your heart, speaking them over yourself each day. Water them with your faith and patience, and watch transformation begin to take place as you see the Word becoming alive in you!

Jesus gave Peter power to walk on water, but the devil stole it away by getting him to fix his attention on the wind (representing things we feel) and on the waves (representing things we see). Peter had the power and used it, but then lost it by doubting. If we will keep our focus continually on Jesus, we will walk in the miraculous!
