Voice Activated

Happy Sunday!  

Romans 10:8 says, "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;"(KJV).   Dr. Bill Winston said, "We are moving rapidly toward using words to get things done!"   I'm sure you are already aware of this.  Ok, Google!  Hey, Siri?  "Alexa, turn off the bathroom light."  These are all examples of modern technology that allows us to simply speak to make things happen.  You probably get in your car and make voice commands..."Call Joe" and the car uses the connection to your cellular phone to make the call.   Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "Everything that happens has happened before; nothing is new, nothing under the sun."(CEV).   Did you know that the Kingdom of God has always been "Voice Activated"?  In Genesis, nothing happened until God said, "Let there be...".   He could have snapped his fingers, or clapped his hands and turned on the heavenly lights, but he didn't!   He spoke, and we must speak also in Faith if we want to see results in our lives.

Mark 11:23-24 says, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."(KJV).   Don't miss this!  Even our prayers need to be audible.  When we speak things happen!  You told little Johnny if he kept being bad he'd end up in jail.  Where is Johnny now?  You said, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."  Why are you mad that things went sour?  You said, "They never promote people like me."  Are you confused about why they promoted the other man?  Even popular culture encourages positive confessions, affirmations, and mantras.  Wonder where they got that idea?  

Our inheritance is vitally connected to our identity.   If you know that you own the property, and you accept your identity as Owner, you have no qualms about kicking squatters out!  John 1:12 says, "Yet wherever men did accept him he gave them the power to become sons of God. These were the men who truly believed in him, and their birth depended not on the course of nature nor on any impulse or plan of man, but on God."(Phillips).  Don't miss this!  When you accepted Jesus, you became a child of God.  All rights, and privileges of Sonship are yours.  Is it any wonder that the world wants us to believe that every person is a child of God?  We are all God's creation, but we are not all God's Children.   If there is no clear cut difference between the benefits of believers  compared to unbelievers, what big difference does it make to be saved?  Don't be fooled!  Our identity is everything!   Colossians 1:27 says, "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"(KJV).  One translation of this scripture says, "Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory."(Living Bible). 

We have HOPE!  Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."(KJV).  Charles Capps, the great Faith Teacher gave his testimony about using the Word to change his life and situation.  I may have shared it before, but it's always good.  He says he was "head over heels in Debt".  He was sick in his body, and drinking Maalox daily to relieve his stomach issues.  He was a farmer, so every morning he would go out on his property and make positive confessions based on the Word of God.  He would say, "I am far from oppression and fear does not come near me. No weapon that is formed against me will prosper, but whatever I do will prosper! I boldly declare that I will walk in prosperity. I will walk in health, and peace of mind, for Your Word causes me to prevail".   One day he heard a voice saying, "You're just lying!"   He thought about it.  At that specific moment, nothing had changed.  It appeared that he was still in debt, and he was still sick.  But then he asked God.  God said, "How can you lie when you are saying what I said?"   Don't miss this!  Speak the Word no matter what it looks like!  Within a year, what he said was manifested.  He was out of debt, and his body was healed.  

Get in the Word, and start using the original technology to change your life.  Faith is the original technology, and it's Voice Activated.
