I heard Joel Osteen tell of a man he knew who was believing
to pay his house off. It was a standard 30-year mortgage and he had 23 years
left. There didn’t seem to be any way he could do it. But he was bold enough to
start speaking over his life the promises of his heavenly Father; Jehovah
Jireh; the Lord our Provider. He chose to declare that God was his source, not
his job. He chose to replace defeated thoughts with thoughts of victory,
knowing that even though things can SEEM impossible, our God can DO the
impossible.
Joel went on to share that several years ago the man
received an inheritance from a family member that he had never met before. He
didn’t even know they were related. This enabled the man to not only pay his
house off but he paid a friend's house off as well. What was that? Explosive
blessings!
Friend, when you believe God, you position yourself for a
miracle. When you seek and obey Him you set yourself under the open windows of
heaven. The bible says, “It is written: ‘I believed; therefore I have spoken.’
With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore SPEAK.” Something
amazing happens when you declare His promises out loud – you activate the favor
and power of the Creator of the universe on your behalf!
Don’t just hope for but be sure to DECLARE these promises
over your life. Don’t let the enemy or the haters around you have the last
word. Talk back to your opposition! Be persistent and diligent in this and you
will see the victory and blessing God has in store for you!
