Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
It is amazing just how much we can underestimate the power of saying what you firmly believe in your heart.
This is the very act of creation; believe first, then speak it, in fact this is the description of faith in action.
This is very pleasing to God because this is how He operates; we see this in the account of creation in Genesis 1. Where there is void and darkness God fully believing what He says will come to pass speaks “Let there be…” and there was.
When we are not moved to despair by the void and darkness but we are moved to faith (not seeing yet believing) we demonstrate outwardly to our Heavenly Father and all of creation that we are the children of God. 🔥❤️🙏🏾 #Devo #Jesus… Share on XWhen we are not moved to despair by the void and darkness but we are moved to faith (not seeing yet believing) we demonstrate outwardly to our Heavenly Father and all of creation that we are the children of God.
Hebrews 11:9 puts it this way:
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
We are a people of faith which holds creative power in our mouth, no wonder the enemy of our soul tries to get us to sabotage ourselves.
One of the strategies of darkness is frustrate and hurt the child of God long enough they will firmly believe the lie and then speak over themselves in their frustration and despair and they shall have exactly what they say and believe.
This is the very act of creation; believe first, then speak it, in fact this is the description of faith in action.

The key is to guard our hearts, our minds and our mouths; remain calm and still enough to identify these kinds of strategies at work and then believe and speak what God says about you. Daily prayer time will never be the same again!!
What do you see trying to show off in your life? Is it poor health? Prolonged extremes of grief? Poverty? These are all genuine issues that can be very distressing, these are the exact things to bring before God in prayer.
When we are done with emotionally processing what stands before us, now let’s find the word of God that deals with this issue, read it, meditate on it i.e., Keep chewing on it, thinking on it, agree with it, look at it from different angles until it sits in your heart, not through repetition but through relationship.
Form a relationship with the word of God until you get the revelation of the word and the Spirit of the Word; what God is actually means, what He is showing you and what He is imparting to you.
Then release that word in prayer concerning the matter that stands before you and don’t stop, for example “thank you God that your word says by His stripes you are healed, therefore I speak let there be healing to my body in Jesus Name!!”
Bombard that thing every day with the word of God while thanking Him for what He has done, showing your confidence in God and placing your attention on Jesus not on the issue and watch it bow to the power of Christ in you, the hope of Glory!!
In this season you will not be moved!
This week we thank God for the blessing of believing with our hearts and confessing with our mouths. Our rescue is giving in this manner and we are grateful.
This is God’s word spoken in love. Remember The LORD our God, He is good and His mercies endure forever. May the blessings of the LORD overtake you and come upon you and His love surround you, for His glory. Have a blessed week. In Jesus Name.
Be a blessing and share this with someone who needs to hear this today.
Take Care x
