EXPRESSED THROUGH DECLARATION

 “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 CORINTHIANS 4:13

We now proceed to consider the second platform through which we can express our faith in God’s word. Paul, in our opening scripture affirms that he spoke because he had believed. This immediately lets us know that our conversation with respect to our desires must be in line with God’s word that we have believed.

Sometimes we profess faith in God’s word, and we then proceed to speak along the line of the present challenge we are experiencing – this ought not to be so! If you truly believe God’s report about that area of your desire you will align your conversation with God’s word.

Scripture says that with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. What we say with our mouth shapes the reality of our life. Death and life, scripture says, is in the power of the tongue.

In the beginning, God used the power of the tongue to re-create our world: he never spoke along the line of the issue on ground – that would be complaining as we sometimes do – rather, he spoke forth what he expected.

Consciously pattern your speech after the word of God that you have come to believe; do not terminate the manifestation of your desire with the wrong use of your tongue. Have talking sessions where you declare God’s word over that area of your life you need a miracle.
