Straight from Hope Ministries Sanctuary.
Pastor Ralf here, blessings to you all. another beautiful day given to us from above. I want to share this devotion this early morning with you
my dear friends there is power in the
words you speak there is life in the
confession of your mouth and there is
breakthrough in what you declare in
faith the Bible says in Proverbs
18:21 "Death and life are in the power
of the tongue and those who love it will
eat its fruit." That means your words
are seed they will either plant despair
or they will plant destiny you have the
ability to change
your
atmosphere you have the ability to shift
the direction of your life not by force
not by striving but by speaking the
promises of God out loud and in faith
you've spoken words of pain long enough
you've repeated the voices of fear and
failure for far too long it's time to
speak blessings over your life not just
once not just when it feels easy but
daily boldly without
apology say this out loud right now
wherever you are i am blessed i am loved
i am covered by grace
my past does not define me my future is
held by the hand of God because the
enemy is not just after
your peace he's after your voice he
knows if he can silence your
declarations he can weaken your faith
but you were not created to be silent in
your pain you were born to speak life in
the middle of
darkness jesus didn't whisper to the
storm he spoke to it he didn't think the
fig tree dry he declared it he didn't
imagine Lazarus out of the grave he
cried out with a loud voice "Lazarus
come
forth." And life obeyed your words carry
the resonance of heaven when spoken in
faith when you speak God's truth you're
not just talking you are aligning
yourself with the creator of the
universe that's why you can declare "My
body is healed my family is restored my
mind is peaceful my purpose is unfolding
my blessing is on the way not because
you feel it but because God promised it
speak a
passion you don't have to beg for
blessings you're already loved you're
already chosen you are already qualified
by the blood of Jesus but here's what
you must do speak it call it forth
declare it until you believe it because
faith grows when it's spoken romans
10:17 says "So then faith comes by
hearing and hearing by the word of God."
Sometimes the person who needs to hear
the word of God the most is you let me
ask you something what have you been
speaking over your life lately have you
been saying nothing ever works for me
have you been saying I'll always be
stuck always be broken if so it's time
to break that cycle you may not realize
it but you're cursing what God wants to
bless stop agreeing with the enemy start
agreeing with God because when God says
you're healed don't call yourself broken
when God says you're chosen don't call
yourself unworthy right now wherever you
are I invite you to pray with me and
speak this blessing over your life lord
I declare that I am blessed and not
cursed i am the head and not the tail i
walk in favor purpose and divine
protection my past has no power over me
my future is filled with hope i will not
fear i will not doubt i will trust you
God and I will speak light say that
every morning say it when you don't feel
strong say it when everything looks the
same because something is shifting in
the spirit even when you can't see it
soft music fades peaceful imagery of
open sky speaker calm reassuring you
don't need the whole world to believe in
you you just need to believe that
God and when you speak his truth heaven
responds your atmosphere
shifts your heart
strengthens your destiny
awakens so don't wait for the right
feeling don't wait for the breakthrough
to show up
speak blessings over your life today and
you'll begin to walk in them tomorrow we
would end with this scripture Numbers
6:24-
26 the Lord bless you and keep you the
Lord make his face shine upon you and be
gracious to you the Lord turn his face
toward you and give you peace amen
always speak life walk in faith and
expect miracles god bless you all
God said there's coming a day when I'm going to shake the world
But some things will not be shaken
Some things remain
in other words, there's coming a time
When the world will be pressed and they'll be no way out. Those times come in your life. In your home
Tension, friction, financial trouble
You're pressed
And there doesn't seem to be a way out. There is an answer. There is a way
Jesus said I am the way
But in the midst of all this changing there are some things that never change think of it a moment what never changes
The nature of God doesn't change
God hasn't changed
He hasn't changed to adapt himself to our generation
God is unchanging. I am the Lord God I change not
God is unchanging in His Holiness
We're all guilty
Of coming short of God's holy requirements and we're all sinners and we're all in need of the grace and mercy of God
And that's why the Lord Jesus came and died on the cross. He died for your sins
He died for mine and God took your sins and laid them on Christ
God changes not in his holiness and let me tell you because he is a holy God he is also
Unchanging in his judgment. There is a Judgment Day coming. Our God is a consuming fire
The Bible is filled with stories of judgment our Lord talk more about Hell than he did heaven
There is a day of judgment coming God is a holy God and you and I are going to stand there
and when I stand there
I'm not going to ask for justice. I'm going to ask for mercy
I need mercy
I need the grace of God. I need the forgiveness of God, and I want to tell you a wonderful thing
God loves you and he offers you tonight
forgiveness and he offers you mercy
God can forgive every sin you've ever committed
God can wipe the slate clean because of Christ
Not because you deserve it
For by grace, are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves
It is the gift of God not of works
Lest any man should boast you can't work your way to heaven. You can't buy your way to heaven
God is unchanging
He's unchanging in his love
God loves you
That's the most wonderful thing to go to bed with at night to know that God loves me
God forgives me God is interested in me
But I must receive him
Secondly the Word of God does not change
The grass withereth and the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever
I settled that a long time ago
There are a lot of things in this Bible I don't understand. They're questions you could ask me that I cannot answer
I don't know all the answers in this book. How can a finite mind like mine comprehend the infinite? I cannot
So one day I opened the Bible I said O Lord I accept this is your word by faith
And that settled it from that moment on. When I quote the scriptures. I know that I'm quoting the Word of God. It's a living word
And lastly
The way of salvation has not changed
All these centuries the way to the kingdom of God is exactly the same
Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man, cometh to the Father, but by me
He will never change but you must change
May God always bless you and may you all go thrugh life with Jesus Christ in your life
