SEE and SAY...

Happy Sunday!

Nothing on Earth can stop you from having what you are Seeing and what you are Saying! - Dr. Bill Winston

Genesis 1:26 says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."(KJV).   We were created in the image and likeness of God!  We could see by Faith.  Faith was like a 6th sense.  After the fall, Adam and Eve's eyes were opened.  They had been walking by Faith seeing with their spiritual eyes.  Now their physical eyes were open and it says, "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."(Genesis 3:7, KJV).  We see a similar occurrence in 2 Kings 6:15-23.  The servant to the prophet went out and realized they were surrounded by the enemy army.  In verse 17, it says, "And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."(KJV).  The servant's physical eyes were certainly open!  What eyes needed to be open for him to see the Angel Armies?  His spiritual eyes, the eyes of Faith, the eyes of his heart had to be open to see that the spiritual world is more real than the physical world.

When we are saved and reconciled to God we return to his original design.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says it like this, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."(KJV).  Another translation of this scripture says, "When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person INSIDE. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!"(Living Bible).  That's why it is so important to study the Word of God.  It's our User Guide.  It helps us get the outside lined up with the inside.  This is vitally important when it comes to what we say!  Because we are created in the image and likeness of God, our words, like His Words have power!  If we are honest, what we see in our lives is the end result of what we have been Seeing and Saying.  Seeing in the sense of what you can envision.  If you can see yourself healed, and you say the Truth...that is the Word of God...you are healed.  Dr. Winston said, "The Word of God has the power to fulfill itself!"  The Word says in Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."(Amplified).

When in doubt, speak the Word!  When in debt, speak the Word!  Dr. Winston said, "Lack of money is not your problem!  Lack of knowledge of the Anointing is the problem."  Don't Apply logic to Faith!  Faith involves God's Ability.  Do you remember the Publisher's Clearing House?  Perhaps, you are too young to remember, but they sold magazine subscriptions and once every so often, they would arrive at the home of the lucky winner with a super-sized check!  The representative was informing the person of their eligibility and their right to thousands of dollars.  There were tears of joy, and happy family members gathered at the door.  It reminds me of the commercials they used to run after the Super Bowl.  They would ask the winning quarterback, "Now that you've won the Super Bowl, what do you plan to do?"  If I remember correctly, they were Disney commercials and the player would smile and say, "I'm going to Disney World!"  Let me ask you something.  Now that you know that everything God promised to Abraham is promised to you, what are you going to do?  Galatians 3:29 says, "And now that we are Christ’s we are the true descendants of Abraham, and all of God’s promises to him belong to us."(Living Bible).  Do you want to know what I'm going to do?  I'm going to get in the Word and find every promise that belongs to me!  I'm going to watch the words that are coming out of my mouth!  I'm going to renew my mind with the Word!  And as the great prophetess once said, "Free your mind, and the rest will follow!"  LOL!
