Speak the WORD only

In Mark 9:14-23 we learn that one about a time when a man brought his son with a dumb spirit to the disciples to cast out, but the disciples were unable to. In verse 23 Jesus says "If thou canst believe all things are possible to him that believes." Jesus is clearly saying that all things are possible to those who believe.
If you cannot believe it, then you cannot have it.

Mark 11:23-24 again states that "what things so-ever desire, when ye pray, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them." This is a law- if you can believe it, then you can receive it.

Often times we say we believe it, yet we never really do because nothing comes to pass.
You believing is key to getting the promises of God, because God has already said YES and AMEN to all your promises. No where in the Bible will you find a promise where God said No. No where will you find God saying maybe to a promise. Every promise of God has already been said yes to.

Lets think for a moment on how powerful our words are. According to Proverbs 18:21 "life and death are in the power of the tongue." It does not say the power of the devil. It does not even say in the power of God, but the power of the tongue. WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALL THE POWER, BUT HE HAS GIVEN YOU AND I THE AUTHORITY IN THIS EARTH.

Well, how do we get our breakthrough? by speaking the WORD only. We have to CONFESS IT, BELIEVE IT, AND ACT ON IT. You see there are no limits to mankind EXCEPT for what we place on God. Think about it- there is no lime to your operation in the earth or what you can do EXCEPT for the limits you place on God. There is nothing that God cannot do (except lie), so my LIMIT IS GOD.

While at Teen Mania Ministries we had one of many core values that we lived by. One that I held close to my heart was "we dare to dream as big as God dreams and BELIEVE that with God on our side, we could achieve the impossible." You see that is what it is all about. God is our LIMIT therefore NOTHING is impossible. If we believe it, then we shall have it. You see God wants to take a step that is beyond our ability. By taking that step, that is your belief that with God all things are possible. Believing simply means to act on the Word of God, to be fully committed to the Word of God.

Abraham believed in the Lord, what happened? we got this book here called the Bible has a result of it, but Satan who is a liar has tried to convince us that God did not really mean what He said.

How many times do we see an advertisement advertising a sale at your favorite store and when you see it, you say to yourself, man I got to have that. WHY?... because you believed what you read.
Or you are at the doctors and he proceeds to tell you that you have a disease and he writes you a prescription. You don't walk out of the doctors office and wonder if he is really telling you the truth.
Or you are in Florida and the weatherman comes on the TV saying that there is a tornado coming in 2 days, you immediately run to Walmart and stock your entire house up on supplies for this tornado. Now you have not seen this tornado, you don't really know if it is coming, you just heard a man say one was coming.

We believed what he was saying and reacted on what we heard. If that be the case, God who wrote the Bible, and now all of a sudden He says something and we begin to have doubt and unbelief. I just don't get it. Now God is the one who cannot lie, the one who has never lost a case, who has never failed anyone who has trusted in Him, yet we doubt that God said what He said.

You see what happens is this... God has scoped our your life already. He has already seen your life form the beginning, all the way to the end. He knows what you are capable of doing and He knows what you did before you even do it. He knows what you need next week. My point is that every promise in this Bible has been given for you.. for your benefit.

When I was 17 years old I made a decision to go on a mission trip to Panama's Darien Jungle. It was alot of money to raise, plus it was going to be during my senior year's Christmas break and I had some folks around me that began trying to talk me down and out of this mission trip. "Trista that is alot of money... how are you going to raise it"? "Trista don't you want to enjoy your Christmas vacation and just relax" They were trying to bring me down to the place where they could do it and me not having to rely on God. This is not what God wants. In Genesis 18:9-14 it says "is anything to hard for the Lord" The mission trip cost and me going was not up to my ability. If I had done that, then I would of brought the entire trip down to where I could figure out how I was going to get the money and doing it all in my strength but God does not want it there. He wants us out there so far that if He does not come through we really are going to fail.

You see, when you read that advertisement and see that sale, you immediately get your money together and get on down there because you believe it. You believe the weatherman or the doctors report but why don't we believe God?

You have to say that you are going to take God at His Word and if you take God at His Word then act on it.

It says in the Bible that by His stripes you were healed. He did not say "feel healed" He never asked you how you felt... He told you to believe that you were healed.
"Well I don't know if I am healed"- He never asked you anything about know- He said believe
"Well I can't see that I am healed"- He never asked you to see- He said believe.

This is not just for healing, but for a new job, promotion, a pay rise. There is NOTHING to great that cannot be turned around with your tongue. You have to speak to that situation that you are facing.

You see you are more than a conqueror, you are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. You are the lender and not the borrower. You are blessed coming in and going out.

YOU WILL GET YOUR BREAK THROUGH WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DON'T DO IT. Your job is to CONFESS IT, BELIEVE IT, AND ACT ON IT. I am not saying to be lazy and do nothing because you have to be diligent in walking it out, taking steps to seeing it come to pass.

No one can stop you from reaching your destiny but yourself. I was told all my life, that I was nothing, and that I was a mistake, that I would not amount to anything. But I am here today telling you that nobody can stop you from your destiny. My family tried several times to stop me, my friends tries, even church folks tried to stop me but no one can stop you from reaching your destiny but YOURSELF because your destiny is coming out of you. You cannot let your past dictate your future. It is time to give up your past. I don't care what people think of you or even what they say about you because the Word of God says...no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that every tongue that shall rise up against you in judgement shall be condemned. It is time to stop making excuses and start speaking the Word of God.
