Faith Words
In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
Ephesians 6:16
Satan may give you a big dose of fear, trying to cancel out your faith. Doubt floods your mind. Negative thoughts dance between your ears. Those are the times you must resist the devil, and he will flee. Your faith must be released through your words.
You know the scripture says that faith without works is dead, but faith without words is also dead. By our words, we ask Jesus into our hearts. By words, we praise and worship Him. When praise goes up to God, He sends His glory down. When your faith is challenged, immediately speak scriptures!
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Colossians 3:15
I am far from oppression, and fear does not come nigh me.
Isaiah 54:14
Unwavering faith is a God given gift, a gift available for the asking. It is graciously given, so that we learn to trust our Heavenly Father in every circumstance. Sometimes we start out trusting God for something, like the rent that is coming due, but then we give up too soon and panic. Sometimes He waits until the last nanosecond, making it clear that He gets the glory and not us! There are also times when God does not answer in the way that you are believing. In those times, you must trust that your faithful Father has only good gifts for you. He will show you, in good time, what good will come in His answer.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the power of the spoken word! Thank You for pointing out multiple times in Scripture that I can use Your Word. I can speak Your Word in faith and have supernatural impact on the natural world. Thank You for all the times that You came through for me, building my faith and my endurance through trials. Bring these to my mind often, remind me of Your faithful, trustworthy presence. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
