You SPEAK your destiny!
2nd Timothy 1:13-14 “Hold fast (seize and retain) the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.”
Over the last few months and really over this last year of 2003, many of us have had many “good things” declared, decreed and prophesied to us…prophetic words concerning what is ahead for the body of Christ in abundance and great blessing. We have had many words of destiny, appointment, purpose, transference of wealth, nations, harvest and many other awesome things that God is about to do in the earth in these last days.
In the Spirit I can hear people saying, “When is all this going to happen”? “When Lord? When Lord?” “When am I going to step into my call?” “When are we going to see this transference of wealth?” “When are we going to see this great harvest of nations come in?”
In the Spirit I can see people wanting to see God results in their life concerning the rhema words that have been given unto them freely by the Spirit of God.
The bottom line, is we can give out encouraging words, prophetic words, inspired by the Holy Spirit over and over, but only YOU can step into the fullness of the destination God has for you. No one can do it for you. God has great and awesome plans for everyone of His sons and daughters, for He knows the plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
Instead of saying “when Lord?”, we need to begin to speak and proclaim into existence the awesome things of God that He has promised us, and come into agreement with every personal prophecy, with every corporate prophetic word, with every rhema word and with the written Word of God for our lives. For God is committed to all these awesome Words that have been spoken over us, but we must line up with His will and His Word for these to manifest.
God wants to move and breathe in your life more than you want it. God however only moves on “words” and not just any words. God moves on words of faith. He will not move on words of complaining, grumbling, moaning, whining or begging or words of doubt and un-belief. These words will not move God. God will not respond to these. Faith is the only thing that will move God. When He does move, He moves by His Spirit-the Holy Spirit who is our “Helper”. If the Holy Spirit is to “Help” us, we must understand the Holy Spirits ministry of “helps” and how to cooperate in agreement with the Holy Spirit to see God results in our lives, to help us reach those destinations and fullness of everything God has for us and everything Christ has purchased for us on the cross. “For if two of you agree on earth concerning ANYTHING that they ask it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” (Matt 18:19) When you come into agreement with the Holy Spirit and His will for your life, there will be no stopping you! You and the Holy Spirit, that makes two baby!
Wherever you are at today in your life, you got there by your mouth, and the words you have spoken. The Word says that you can “have” what you “say”. God works by words. He spoke the universe into being. Jesus did all His miracles, healings and deliverances by “words”. Jesus spoke, and the Holy Spirit moved in power. We are made in the image of God, and we are to imitate Christ- “…so as He is, so are we in this world.” (1st John 4:17) Through our mouth comes blessing or cursing, life or death. As Believers are words are spirit and they are life if they are words of faith. Our words carry impact and destiny in them. So the Holy Spirit our helper moves on our words of faith. Faith has a voice. Its speaks. Romans 10:6 “…faith speaks in this way” Faith without a voice is powerless. Faith with a voice will move mountains and nothing will be impossible for you. Every time we speak doubt and un-belief or waver, the Holy Spirit cannot move on those words.
James 1:6-7 “But let him ask in faith with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.”
The Holy Spirit is who “performs” God’s word. If we stop confessing God’s word, He stops performing. The Holy Spirit desires to be our helper in reaching our destinations and destinies that God has for us, but we must understand His ministry is Word based.
Our words will either build up our destinies and purposes in God or they will tear down. Our words will either build up people or tear them down. If we want to see God results in reaching our destinations we must hold fast to our confession.
Hebrews 4:14 “…let us hold fast our confession.”
In the greek “hold fast” means to seize and retain. We need to seize and retain our confession and let nothing stop it or steal it. Let no doubt, wavering or un-belief in concerning God’s word to us in both rhema and logos word. God’s word must be the ultimate authority in our lives.
2nd Timothy 1:13-14 “Hold fast (seize and retain) the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.”
In order to “keep” the good things which God has spoken to us whether in a prophetic word, a rhema word or the promises of God to us through the Word, we must hold fast to, we must seize and retain these promises, rhema words, destinies and callings and let no doubt, fear or un-belief creep in and steal these good things that God has ahead for us and for the “now”. Your words will either nurture your call or tear it down. You need to speak out your destiny, your call and all that God has promised you by faith and confession on a continual basis. For how long? Until it comes to pass! Speak to those things which do not exist as though they did. (Romans 4:17)
Every thought and every word you speak is a seed planted in your life and in your heart.
James 1:21 “…receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.”
Sometimes the words we speak are planted into other people. Therefore we must be careful what we speak to other people, be sure they are words of building up and not of tearing down. Words of blessing and not of cursing. For the power of life and death are in the tongue.
Romans 10:8 “But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.”
Once that seed is planted in you, the more you confess that word whether bad or good, is how you water that seed.
Proverbs 18:4 “The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters.”
So the more you water that seed with your confession, the deeper the root will grow. The only way for that root to grow and produce fruit is to keep doubt and un-belief away, otherwise they will choke out the word of God, and the confession you are speaking. Confession is powerless without believing. (Luke 8:11) Whatever you are speaking in your life, is what is manifesting.
So everytime you look at your circumstances and talk about your circumstances the root grows deeper. Out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks, and directs your destiny in where you are going in God. In proverbs it says you will either be satisfied by your mouth or snared by your words.
Even the angels only work on Gods words.
Psalms 103:20 “Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word.”
You either activate of de-activate your angels by the words you speak. Wanna see your angels move on your behalf? Then make the Word your confession, your speech, and believe the Word when you speak it. Your angels are always working on your behalf when you are speaking words that line up with God’s will. Its when you stop speaking those things of God’s will that you paralyze your angels.
Want to see your destination come to pass? Let His words abide in you, you will ask/speak what you desire and it shall be done for you. (John 15:7)
You will step into the supernatural things of God on a continual basis when you are walking in faith with your confession. Without the faith your words will profit you nothing. Its part of the good fight of faith:
1st Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
My friends, speak your way into your destination! For all creation is subject to you by the authority Christ purchase for you on the cross. You will be astounded at the God results in your life as you line up your confession with the Word of God, with His will. Instead of saying “when Lord?” speak out what is about to happen in your life. Speak out increase in your life. Speak out the big things God has spoken to your heart and proclaim them. Don’t let the devil steal any seeds from your heart that are “God” seeds. For the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. What is he trying to steal? He is trying to steal the Word out of your heart and your mouth. If he can get you to talk against God’s will, against the destination He has for you, against His Word, then he’s been successful.
Your destination is much greater than you could ever think or imagine, for Jesus is able to do far above all that you could think or imagine. So even though some of those things seem so “far off” or “so big”, speak them out every day. God is committed to you. He is committed to ALL the good things He has spoken over you and promised you, but He needs you to hold fast with your words, mixed with faith, so these things can profit you.
2nd Timothy 1:13-14 “Hold fast (seize and retain) the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.”
