Some Encourgement

I have been planning my trip for Paris for the past few months. I've been looking and scouring the Internet for good deals and nice places to stay. In my research, I have found that Paris is VERY expensive and may cost me around $6000 to stay for one month. I have high standards and I believe I deserve nothing but the best. So, I asked God for the faith to attract all the resources I need to enjoy myself in Paris. My goal is to have an amazing vacation and my plans are going well.

So far I found a round trip ticket for about $800. I have the option to stay in the Paris Marriott off the Champs-Elysee for one month for about $3000 dollars which will include lunch for the whole month. Normally, it would be that much for about 7 days not including the meals. I saw myself there in my mind a few weeks ago and in my heart I believed it. I spoke what I wanted and it came to pass. This is proof positive that big faith yields big results. God kept telling me money is not an object, figure out what I want and believe HE can do it. So that's what I'm doing. I'm finally tapping into the blessings and favor I had access to all along. You can do it too! It's all a matter of YOUR FAITH.

God's Word says, He will withhold no good thing from those love and trust him. It also says, I can say to any mountain, be thou removed and cast into the sea and it will remove itself if I trust and (they key to the whole thing) DO NOT DOUBT! Now that is the revelation, DO NOT DOUBT!! I can move the mountain of financial burdens, the mountain of problem children or no children. The mountain of lonliness can be moved and you can call forth the person that God has designed for you. Negative speech inhibits blessings. If we say things like, it probably won't happen, I can settle for that, Great men are hard to find, it's a long shot, I don't have the money, I don't think they'll do it for me, I don't have enough experience, that's exactly what you'll have. But God opened my mind and revealed to me, I can have whatever I desire if I only believe and speak what I believe in my heart. Essentially, my faith and my mouth determines my blessing. If I believe big, speak big and have big faith, I can have big blessings.

It takes persistence to program your brain and mouth to think and speak positively. I was the queen of negativity. I use to say things that I won't repeat because the are so negative. The point is, I have been doing the confession "God's Creative Power" by Charles Capps since I was 5 years old, but I didn't realized how powerful it was until recently. My mom woke me up every morning to read this confession. I stopped reading it for a while because, I was grown and I didn't think I needed to read it, but I got back into it recently because I realized my days went better when I read it. It occured to me recently that, to achieve my dreams, I needed more faith and more belief that I could have what I desire. So I set out to gather the resources I needed to have world overcoming faith. I usually read Chapter II of the confession, but this time I read chapter I and realized what I needed was right under my nose the whole time. It just required a little tweaking to make it personal. So here is how I have begun to sustain my life changing faith. I do it through prayer and reading the following affirmations.

The following is my edited version of "God's Creative Power" Chapter I, by Charles Capps.

Positive spoken words program your spirit (heart) to success. Words are containers. they carry faith and they produce after their kind.

"So then faith cometh my hearing and hearing by the Word of God" (Rom 10:17). Faith comes more quickly when you hear yourself quoting, speaking and saying the things God said. You will more readily receive God's Word into your spirit by hearing yourself say it than if you hear someone else say it.

God said, "Confessing the Word is a scientific application of My wisdom to the psychological makeup of man."

And it works, thank God. Neesa you are the body of Christ, you must begin to live in the authority of the Word . For God's Word is creative power. That Creative power is produced by the heart, formed by the mouth in word form.

Just speaking the Word will bring what you desire. God said,"My creative power is given to man in the Word form. I have ceased for a time from my work and have given to man the book of MY CREATIVE POWER. That power is STILL IN MY WORD.

For it to be effective , Neesa you must speak it in faith. Jesus spoke it when He was on earth and as it worked then so shall it work now. But it must be spoken by you. Neesa you must rise up and have dominion over the power of evil by your words. It is God's greatest desire that His people create a better life by the spoken Word. For His word has not lost it's power just because it was spoken once. It is still equally as powerful today as when He said, 'Let there be light.'

But for God's Word to be effective, Neesa you must speak it, and that creative power will come forth performing that which you speak in faith.

God's Word is powerful.

My words are powerful.

"Be not conformed, but transformed into the body of faith, knowing that my Words are alive evermore. believe, speak, and obtain that your joy may be full and you shall be complete in Me."

Confess Victory in the face of apparent defeat. Confess abundance in the face of apparent lack.

It will change your life as you receive it. Let's put it in the context of which He spoke.
Mark 11:23, "For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."

I CAN HAVE WHATEVER I SAY!!!

A correct application of this spiritual law will make even the seemingly impossible situations possible. Every faith principle and every spiritual law that God set forth in His Word was for your benefit. It was designed to put YOU over in life.

You can have what you say if you learn to release faith from the heart in your words. Jesus said,"...as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee" (Matt 8:13)

"...God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" (Gal 6:7).

The spiritual law is based on the same basic principle of seed-time harvest. The words you speak are seeds that produce after their kind. Just as sure as they are planted, you can be equally sure a harvest will follow.

Faith talks. When it talks, it talks faith.

Learn to take the Words of Jesus personally. In Mark 11:23, Jesus tells you that you can have what you say if what you say comes from faith in your heart.

God said, "Today it will come to pass, I have laid my hand on you Neesa, and everything you say will happen just as you say it."

Let us train ourselves to speak God's Word. Ephesians 5:1 tells us, to be followers of God, as dear children..." The word, "followers" in the Greek means to imitate. We are to imitate God as a child does his father. If a child imitates his father, he will walk like him, talk like him; and pattern his every move after him.

We should do this and more after our Father, God.

When you study the life of Jesus you will find there are several important facts that caused Him to overcome the world, the flesh and the devil. If you want to be victorious, you must do the following:

  1. You must spend time in prayer and pray the answer. What God said is the answer.
  2. Speak accurately, never crooked speech. Let your conversations always be wholesome and good. They should consist of what God says.
  3. Always speak the end result, not the problem or the present circumstances. Speak the desired result.
  4. Use the written word to defeat Satan.

The Word of God conceived in the Heart, formed by the tongue and spoken out of the mouth is Creative Power!!

I'm going to stop here. This is the place where I did the most editing. I read chapter II everyday, but I take out the negative words. For example, instead of saying Lord is my shepherd and I do not want." I change it to, "The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need." Try inserting your name in different places, it makes it more personal.

I encourage you to purchase this little book. It's only about $2 but it will change your life. I also encourage you to take negative and crooked words out of your speech. Erase self-defeating thoughts from your mind. Speak only good of your situation and others. Speak and think the situation you desire, not your current circumstances and GET IN THE WORD and IN THE FACE OF GOD!! The stories in the bible will help you see real examples of faith and God's ability to give you your hearts desire. So DREAM BIG!! Believe with all your heart and confess with your mouth that what you desire will come to pass and IT WILL HAPPEN.

God Bless you on your journey to BIGGER FAITH!!
