We need to put God’s Word in our hearts, because His Word is His will for us. Once you write His Word and His will on your heart it will be a joy for you to pray, because you’ll know when your petition is according to His will!
Changing location has nothing to do with prosperity. It is possible to be poor in a wealthy society; just as it is possible to prosper in a poor society, and even during a crisis where others are in want all around you. Isaac obeyed the Lord, and he prospered! “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous” (Genesis 26:12-13).
Our thoughts are the seeds of our actions.
Our prayers are the seeds of answers.
Our giving is the seed of our receiving.
Our efforts are the seeds of our results.
Our words are the seeds of what fruit we will eat.
What you think is a seed. What you believe is a seed.
What you say is a seed. Understanding this truth removes the foundation for failure in your life and replaces it with hope! We can no longer point the finger of blame for our situations at what the government is doing or not doing for us. We can’t blame our bad circumstances on a lousy economy, bad parents, bad friends, or a bad environment. The future is what we sow for!
Each of us possess the power of choice to determine our future. We might feel controlled right now by other people, physical pain, or economic conditions, but our future is still in our mouths. As Paul said, “We, having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak” (2 Cor. 4:13).
Many people, including some preachers, say that God is in control and whatever happens is His will. But does a farmer reap what God sows? What kind of crop will the farmer get if he takes the year off and just tells God he will take whatever crop God produces? No, the farmer reaps what he himself sows. If this principle is true for the farmer, isn’t it true for us also?
The scenarios we create with our words can either draw favor, blessings, goodwill, love, healing, finances, and trust to us…or they can draw anger, hate, fear, anxiety, and death into our lives. Regardless of whether you choose to believe in it or not, life and death truly is in the power of your tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
The Apostle Paul made it clear when he said that we do not receive what God sows, or what others sow—we only receive what we sow, or say, about ourselves. What the Bible says is still true: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21). Our future is as far away as our tongue!
If your life is unhappy and you feel like a loser, you can probably blame it on wrong thoughts that you’ve developed throughout your life. But the message and purpose of God’s Word is to get new thoughts, a new spirit, new power, and a new start! To REPENT means to change—when you change your thinking, you’ll change your world!
Moses sent 12 men to spy out the Promised Land. Ten of the spies saw themselves as grasshoppers in the sight of the giants that lived there. Two of the spies had a different perspective. They remembered what God had said and knew that NO giants could defeat them (Numbers 14:9 KJV). Where is your perspective right now? Has something become a giant in your life?
