The Language Of Faith – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 20th

(Speak The Language Of The Spirit)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 4:13
“And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak”

LET’S TALK
Josiah always felt inferior to his peers and often spoke negatively about himself. “I’m not smart enough,” he would say.

One day, he learned from his pastor about the power of words. He decided to change his confession. Convicted, Josiah decided to change his confession.

Every morning, he declared, “I have the mind of Christ. I am excellent and full of wisdom.”

As a child of God, your communication must reflect the provisions of the Gospel and synchronize with the tenets and culture of our heavenly kingdom.

The carnal or ordinary man or woman speaks according to their senses. They speak fear and unbelief.

But our language is different; we speak faith; we believe, and therefore we speak. What do we believe? We believe the Word and that’s what we speak. Glory to God!

The Word of God is truth, and truth is reality. Therefore, every time you utter the Word concerning any situation, you’re speaking the reality about that situation.

For example, if you felt a headache, or a pain in your joints or any part of your body; don’t say, “I have a headache”

Instead, rebuke it and say, “I have the life of God in me; therefore, I’m forever healthy and strong. No sickness can thrive in my body, because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.” When you say that, you’re speaking truth; you’re affirming what you have in Christ.

Sickness, disease, infirmities, poverty, weakness and death aren’t part of what God has given unto you; so never voice them.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 says; “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”

We have received the Holy Spirit to help us know and understand what God has freely given to us; these are the same things you’re supposed to speak.

So, what has God given you? He’s given you eternal life (1 John 5:11-12); He’s given you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and riddance (1 Corinthians 1:30).

He’s given you ALL things that you require for life and for godliness (2 Peter 1:3).

These and more are the things you should speak. Every so often, boldly affirm who you are, what you have and what you can do in Christ. Speak the language of faith and power. Hallelujah!

Speak:
The Holy Spirit has trained my tongue to speak the language of the Kingdom. I speak words of faith, authority and power only; words that are consistent with the provisions of Christ in His Gospel and with the tenets and culture of our heavenly Kingdom.
