Real Help Topic: Speak

At 84 years old, as of December 2020, Kenneth Copeland is a picture of living long and strong on the earth through the promises of God. He can do more pushups than most 20-year-olds, hold a plank position for three minutes, and walk faster than any staff member can keep up with! He travels around the world with seemingly no trouble and preaches a packed-out schedule each year–and that’s to say nothing of his sharp mind and ever-ready sense of humor.

He’s set a goal of living to 120, and we know he’ll make it! One reason? He’s determined to take God at His Word. (Psalm 91:16; Romans 8:11; Isaiah 40:31 just to name a few)
Aside from exercising almost daily and eating extremely healthy, Brother Copeland knows the importance of renewing his mind and speaking ONLY the Word of God concerning his health and life. If there’s ever been an example to follow–it’s his!

We want to help you enjoy the kind of health and longevity God desires for you. Here, we’re sharing Brother Copeland’s confessions for youth renewal you can speak in faith!

“I serve the Almighty God, and according to His WORD and the covenant blood of Jesus, I call my body well. I call my life good. I call myself debt free. I call myself well and healed. I call my head well. I call my eyes well. I call my nose well. I call my sinuses well. I call my ears well. I call my neck well. All the bones in my neck are well. I call pain gone in the Name of Jesus. I call my throat well.  According to The WORD of God, according to His blood, I will never have the flu again. I don’t have the flu; I have a covenant. I don’t have colds; I have a covenant–a blood covenant, a healing covenant with the Most High God. He’s my God, and I serve Him. He’s my God, and I trust Him. I am well. I call my body well. I call my shoulder well. My shoulders are well. I call my arms well. This elbow joint is well. These finger joints are well. I call my right arm well. This right elbow does not have inflammation in it. I call my right elbow well. Satan, get your hands off my elbow. You’re a zero, and I’m well. My lungs are well. I call my stomach well. I call my heart well.” 

“I call my liver well. Liver, God loves you, and I love you, and you’re well. My liver and the rest of me belong to Jesus. His liver is well, and my liver is well. I have a living liver. All my living liver is well.”
 
“I call my intestines well. I call my lower abdomen well. My colon is well, and all the lower parts of my body are well, strong and in good shape. I call my hips well. I call my SI joints well. I call my lower back well. I call my lower back pain free, because my God has taken sickness from the midst of me. It says so in the book of Exodus 23:25-26: ‘He has taken sickness from the midst of me and the length of my days, He will fulfill.’ The length of my 120 years, He will fulfill.”
 
“I call my legs well. I call my knees well. I call my thighs well. I call my sciatic nerves well. I call my toes well. I call my ankles well. My feet are well.”
 
“I feel good, I feel fine; body, get in line. I rejoice for the King of kings and The LORD of lords has declared me well. His Father, the Almighty God, has called me well.”
 
“I believe, I will, I take it, I have a well body. I thank You for it, I praise You for it, and I forgive if I have anything against anyone. I’m well from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I am well.”

Glory to God! If you don’t pick up a new spring in your step and feel set on fire after that, your wood is wet, as Brother Copeland would say. Get in the habit of speaking words of longevity and supernatural health over your body. It’s time to start expecting to live long and strong!

When you’re buried in debt and trying to get out, it may seem like an impossible task–a mountain, even. But what did Jesus say to do when you’re facing a mountain? Be afraid of it? Run from it? Wait for God to speak a special word to you? No. He said, “Speak to the mountain” (see Mark 11:23-24).

  5. I am debt free. I am walking in abundance. I am wealthy, and I am a generous giver.

10 Steps to Debt Freedom

When you’re faced with a giant in your life–sickness, disease, financial challenges, job trouble, relationship problems or anything else keeping you from living your best life–it can be easy to focus on the adversity rather than seeing it as an opportunity.

One thing David knew that we must learn also–giants are opportunities for promotion. But first, we’ve got to slay the giant between us and our victory. Like David, we do this by boldly declaring our faith in God.

Bold words backed by faith in God and His covenant caused a teenage boy with no military training and nothing but a sling and a rock to take down a military champion who terrified every warrior in the land. You can do the same!

You can overcome every Goliath by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. To set your tongue on the right course, here are 10 giant-killing declarations that will sling a stone into the forehead of any giant you’re facing and set you up for a big promotion!

  1. The favor of God is over my life and brings me promotion and increase. His favor is restoring everything the enemy has stolen from me and producing honor in the midst of my adversaries (Genesis 39:21; Exodus 3:21, 11:3).
  2. No weapon formed against me will prosper. Every tongue that rises against me will be shown to be in the wrong, in Jesus’ Name (Isaiah 54:17).
  3. Jesus said if I speak to the mountain in my life in faith, it will move. So, I speak to the mountain of ______ right now, and I command you to move in Jesus’ Name (Mark 11:23)!
  4. I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. God says I am BLESSED, so I declare BLESSING over every area of my life right now in Jesus’ Name. I am redeemed from the curse, so anything that has to do with the curse must go now (Deuteronomy 28:13)!
  5. I bind every spirit that is hindering my breakthrough right now in Jesus’ Name. I plead the blood of Jesus over _____. I loose a spirit of manifestation in my life and declare that my God is making all things new (Revelation 12:11).
  6. I declare that I am in a season of open doors and new opportunities. Everything that has been stagnant is moving and flowing in the Name of Jesus (Isaiah 43:19).
  7. I command every enemy of my BLESSING, every spirit hindering the flow of God’s promises into my life, to cease and desist in Jesus’ Name (Psalm 35:1-9)!
  8. I declare that I am strong in faith and bold to step out. I am confident, I am fearless, I am a faith warrior. I don’t back down, I don’t give up and I never quit. I am not intimidated by people or situations. I don’t run from trouble; I run toward it in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and I win the battle (1 John 4:18)!
  9. I curse insecurity at the root in Jesus’ Name. I curse every sin and addiction trying to hold me captive in Jesus’ Name. Fear, you leave in Jesus’ Name. I refuse to entertain “what ifs” in any area of my life. I stand on the goodness of God in my life and my faith sets me free of all fear, doubt or insecurity (2 Timothy 1:7).
  10. I am more than a conqueror! Every Red Sea in my life, I command you to part. Every Lazarus in my life, I call you to resurrect. Goliath, you are a defeated foe. Be cast down and destroyed in my life. Dry bones, I’m talking to you, and I command you to live in Jesus’ Name (Romans 8:37)!

Speak these declarations every day. Make them a part of your routine. As you do, they will get down on the inside of you and become something you think about all the time. You can kill the giants in your life and move to promotion and victory! Start speaking and run toward your giant in the Name of the Lord of hosts!

The Goliath Promotion

Persistence is the key to defeating every spiritual attack. Time and again, you see people in the Bible either winning or losing in accordance with their faith–whether persistent or waning. 

We, too, must have persistence to win against the enemy. As Pastor George Pearsons says, “We must be more persistent with the truth of God’s WORD than the devil is with his lies.”

Persistence is effective, but it isn’t easy. The enemy doesn’t give up easily, and he will press harder and harder the more you resolve to stand in faith. (Have you ever noticed that?)

To help you establish a firm stand for your promises, Pastor George Pearsons has created a confession for persistent, enemy-defeating faith you can declare every day:

In the Name of Jesus, I have persistent, bulldog faith.
I won’t give up.
I won’t let go until my mission is accomplished. 
I apply pressure to my covenant.
I apply pressure to the devil. 
I will continue to stand on The WORD.
I will continue to live by love.
I will continue to walk by faith and not by sight.
I will keep doing this until all resistance is broken and I have the desired result.
I am stubborn!
I am tenacious!
I am persistent!
My bulldog persistence wears down the devil’s resistance!

When you speak this confession for persistent, enemy-defeating faith, you will set yourself on a path to certain victory. Keep saying it. Keep believing it. And keep living it. You may not feel like it right now, but you have a persistence inside you that will not let you quit until you receive what you’re believing for. Bite down on the Word of God and don’t let go. You are more than a conqueror!

5 Reasons Why Faith Specialists Will See Manifest Power in 2020

A critical father, a mother on drugs, a broken home or the loss of a loved one. Hurts from childhood are often far-reaching. In adulthood, it’s no different. The loss of a child, a divorce or facing bankruptcy can all cause emotional trauma that–if left undealt with–can leave wounds that prevent you from living a life of peace, joy, love and happiness.

You can overcome emotional trauma. Don’t settle for less than God’s best for your life. Begin today with this confession to overcome emotional trauma and take control of your life and happiness!

In Jesus’ Name, I declare that past hardships do not define who I am. I know who I am. I am a child of the Most High God. I am the head and not the tail. I am above everything that has ever happened to me and everything that has ever been said to me and about me. I am more than a conqueror. I have the mind of Christ. I have the strength of God on my side, and I have His favor in every situation.

I declare that I am not defined by the choices of others. My value is not determined by how my parents treated me or spoke to me–my value is found in Christ Jesus. My value is not determined by the loss of a spouse or mistakes I’ve made with my finances.

I refuse to give the devil access to my mind by allowing him to use past events against me. I forgive every person who has ever done me wrong–no matter how bad the offense. And I forgive myself. I do not place blame on myself. I receive the Lord’s forgiveness, and I declare that from this day forward I am free from all guilt, shame, anger, depression or rejection.

Spirit of fear, I rebuke you, in the Name of Jesus. I cast you out of my mind. I have no more fear. I declare that have a spirit of power! God loves me as much as He loves Jesus. The love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Spirit of God, and perfect love casts out fear. Fear and every bondage, you get out. Leave me now!

Thank You, Lord, that I am healed of all trauma from the past events in my life. I receive Your healing now. It is washing over me and removing all hurts and bad memories. I receive deliverance from rehearsing past words and events. I’m so thankful that in You, Lord, I am free!

Now rejoice and praise Him for your newfound freedom! He is the God who makes all things new–including you! As you move forward, act on your new mindset in faith. If memories or symptoms of trauma try to come on you, rebuke them in Jesus’ Name, and then turn to the Lord. Ask Him to help you work through each part of your emotional healing step by step. Before long, you’ll be focused only on your glorious future. For more help from God’s Word, check out our article: Take Back Your Life: How to Overcome Emotional Trauma

Don’t wait until you’re faced with trouble to declare protection over your life. Use this personalized declaration of Psalm 91 to unleash the power of God’s protection in your life:

I live in the shelter of the Most High, and I will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.
He will rescue me from every trap and protect me from deadly disease.

He will cover me with His feathers and shelter me with His wings. His faithful promises are my armor and protection.

I am not afraid of the terrors of the night or the dangers of the day. I am not afraid of the disease that stalks in darkness or the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand may fall at my side or 10,000 die around me, these evils will not touch me.

I make the Lord my refuge. The Most High is my shelter. That’s why no evil will conquer me, and no plague will come near my home.

His angels are protecting me. Because I trust in His Name, He rescues me and protects me. When I call on Him, He answers me and delivers me. He is always with me in trouble to rescue me.

He gives me long life!

You can speak this personalized declaration of Psalm 91 every morning, in times of trouble or whenever you need a faith boost. The Word of God is a powerful weapon against the enemy–so be sure to use it!

Real Help – The Checklist of Faith

Are you in the circle? Psalm 34:7 tells us that when we put our relationship with God first place, we will live in a circle of BLESSING that no demon can penetrate, no worldly situation or circumstance can overcome, and no enemy can break down.

THE BLESSING outlined in Deuteronomy 28 says that our enemies will flee before us. That means no enemy can stand before us. It also declares that in that circle of BLESSING, sickness and disease of any kind do not belong–they’re under the curse!

In God’s circle of BLESSING, we live well. Our bodies are blessed. Our children are blessed. Our relationships are BLESSED. Even our property and possessions are BLESSED.

Life is good in God’s circle of BLESSING. But being born again doesn’t automatically take you there. Faith is what gets you there, and it’s also what keeps you there.

According to Romans 10, faith has to be in two places–in your heart and in your mouth. Your protection is the same. You have to say of the Lord He is your Refuge. You have to take refuge in Him. You have to exercise your faith for these things based on what you see in the Word of God.

Those who would stay and abide in the shadow of the Almighty are the ones who will say, “The Lord is my Refuge!” They make the Lord their Refuge, and they won’t be talked out of it.

You can do the same. Here is a declaration to enter into the circle of BLESSING. You can speak it in faith every day!

I’m living in God’s circle of BLESSING. Whichever way I turn, there is BLESSING. I have a circle of BLESSING around me. Everywhere I go, that circle goes with me. It’s not in circumstances. It’s around me. Where I go, THE BLESSING goes. It’s in my heart, in my relationship with the Lord.

I believe God. I walk with God. I expect God to do great and mighty things. I obey God. He is No. 1. I seek Him first. I listen to Him first.

Thank You, Lord, for delivering the people of God. Thank You that no harm shall come to us. I plead the blood of Jesus over me and over my loved ones. I thank You for protecting our homes and our families.

Thank You for every time You delivered us when we didn’t even know we were in danger. Thank You for those times that we knew we were in trouble, and You brought us out.

We abide under the shadow of Your wings, Lord, under the shadow of the Almighty. We trust in You. We say, “You are our Refuge and our Fortress, our God, and in You do we confidently trust.”

To You be all the glory, Lord. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

Psalm 91 says, “I will say of the Lord….” That means those who are qualified to be in His circle of BLESSING and protection will speak it! Begin speaking this declaration to enter the circle of BLESSING, and rest in the secret place of Almighty God!

The Circle of BLESSING

Condemnation never changes anything. The next time you think you’re doing the right thing by feeling guilty or ashamed of your past or how you recently blew it–think again. When you entertain these thoughts and feelings, instead of moving forward, you’re keeping yourself right where you are, which is most likely stuck.

Condemnation is continuing to feel guilty about sin that has already been confessed or circumstances or occurrences out of your own control. That’s the accuser’s way. God’s way is conviction, which is simply correction and guidance. It is a leading toward the right way–God’s way–and away from destruction or sin. That’s why Romans 8:1 tells us “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (NASB).

You can be set free from condemnation through the renewing of your mind and a willingness to let go of the condemning thoughts you’ve been feeding on for days, weeks or even years.

You can learn more about the warning signs that something’s just not right.

Begin taking a stand by speaking this daily confession of faith against condemnation:

This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it! His mercies are new every morning.

I am saved, I am forgiven. No matter what I’ve done or what I’ve gone through, the blood of Jesus is more than enough to cleanse and wash away the past. I am a new creature in Christ Jesus, and He makes ALL things new in my life.

I refuse to live in the past. I take authority over my thoughts, and I rebuke the enemy right now in Jesus’ Name from bringing condemnation on me. I resist those thoughts. I will not give them any attention anymore. I have the mind of Christ.

I will not criticize or tear down others, nor will I think more highly of myself than I should. I will work to build others up, and to bless and encourage them. I will not judge or speak of the shortcomings of others, but instead I will pray for those who are working to become more Christlike, just as I am.

I choose today to forgive myself for anything and everything wrong I have ever done or ever been part of. I receive the forgiveness Christ died to give me. I do this out of honor and respect for what He has done and out of obedience to His Word. As I do this, I freely forgive those around me for any and every offense.

I choose today to say, “I am worthy” of everything Christ died to give me. I am worthy of receiving forgiveness. I am worthy of receiving healing. I am worthy of receiving financial prosperity. I am worthy of receiving a spouse and children. I am worthy–not because of what I’ve done or not done–but because Jesus has made me worthy to receive everything God has for me.

I am a child of God, and I freely receive all He has for me. I expect to live in the abundance of His riches and glory through Christ Jesus.

Great job! As you speak this daily confession against condemnation, begin to see yourself as worthy, forgiven and free from judgment. You don’t need to be affirmed by others. You don’t need to prove you are holy. You are justified by faith and faith alone. Now go…live free!

Are You Living in Condemnation? 4 Warning Signs That Something’s Just Not Right

No More Condemnation

You can live without fear. Impossible? Unrealistic? No! You see, fear isn’t just a reaction to external circumstances. It’s a spiritual force. It begins inside you, and it is totally destructive. In fact, fear is satan’s primary weapon. He moves in response to fear the way God moves in response to faith. The devil uses fear to challenge the promises of God.

You can rid your life of fear forever by guarding your heart (not feeding it with fear-filled media) and filling up on the Word of God, which is full of hope, peace and promise. Fear is a battle in your mind, but you don’t combat thoughts with thoughts, you combat thoughts with words. Take a stand against fear, and begin today by speaking this confession of faith to overcome fear:
 
God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment is condemned. Fear has no dominion over me because the Greater One lives in me. He has given me the victory in every area of life. The Lord is on my side, so I will not fear. What can man do to me? Nothing, because greater is He who is in me, than he who is in the world. The peace of God that passes all understanding guards my heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Spirit of fear, I rebuke you, in the Name of Jesus. I cast you out of my mind. I cast you off my body. I have no more fear. God loves me as much as He loves Jesus. The love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Spirit of God. And perfected love casts out all fear. Fear and every bondage, you get out. Leave me now in the Name of Jesus! You’ll not come near my dwelling. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. Praise God!

I have not received a spirit of slavery to fear, but I have received the spirit of adoption, whereby I cry “Abba, Father.” I belong to the Lord, and am no longer a slave to dread, fear, stress, anxiety or depression. I am set free from him who had the power of death, the devil, by the precious blood of the Lamb.

I don’t allow my heart to be troubled because I trust in the Lord. I stand on His promises in Psalm 91, and I declare that no evil shall befall me, neither shall any plague or calamity come near me, my family or our dwelling places. The angels of the Lord surround me and watch over my family and me. I cover my family and myself with the blood of Jesus–spirit, soul and body.

Thank You, Lord, that I dwell in the shadow of Your wings, and You protect me. My steps are ordered by You, and You lead me and guide me in the way I should go. Thank You, Lord, that You are the Good Shepherd and that You watch over me and take care of me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
 
Speak this confession of faith to overcome fear every day. Keep speaking the truth of the Word. Keep guarding your heart against negativity. Rebuke and resist fear, and watch your faith soar! As you do, you will become a more victorious Christian, and everyone will see your peace and want what you have. What a wonderful witness of God’s goodness to the world. God makes all the difference!

5 Practical Ways to Cast Your Cares on Jesus
A Prayer for Standing Against Worry for a Family Member

Obeying God and staying in His will requires spiritual effort–but has the greatest payoff of any work you could ever do on earth! Above all, it should be our honor to obey God and please Him in all things. If you have a heart to obey Him and live in complete victory, you can begin to make a transformation with this confession, based on Romans 12, to help you stay in the will of God every day.

I declare today that I will present my body to God as a living sacrifice–laying aside sin, bad habits, ungodly friends and anything else that would hinder me in running the race God has set before me. I will not conform to the patterns of this world–not its way of thinking, talking or acting–but I will spend time reading, meditating and acting on the Word of God so that I will be transformed into the kind of person He wants me to be.

I declare that I will not think of myself more highly than I should. I will view myself honestly, knowing that anything I have or can do is only by the grace of God. I will acknowledge my need for others in the Body of Christ and the gifts they have been given. I will not be jealous of the giftings of others, but instead will utilize what they have to offer and encourage them in their callings, while embracing and growing my own gifts.

I love others sincerely. I don’t only show people love when they’re right in front of me. I seek to love others in my thoughts, speech and actions whether they are around or not. I don’t gossip, I don’t criticize or tear down. I am the same in public and in private.

I hate what is evil because God hates what is evil. I do not make excuses for things like abortion, homosexuality, divorce or any other sin. Instead, I stand against that which God has called evil in my public conversations, in how I choose what I watch or listen to, and when I vote. I cling to what is good, no matter how much adversity I might face. I am strong in the Lord and the power of His might! As I honor Him and His Word, I know He will honor me. I will not lack in zeal for the things of God, but I will be passionate all the days of my life!

I will be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. I will share with the Lord’s people who are in need. I will bless those who persecute me. I will rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. I will live in harmony with other Christians. I won’t be snobby or conceited when I choose with whom to associate. 

I will not pay back evil for evil. I will do right in the eyes of those around me. As much as it depends on me, I will live at peace with everyone. I won’t take revenge–I will let God avenge me in all things. Instead, I will do good to my enemies. I will overcome evil with good.

As I walk and live in the perfect will of God, I fully expect to see a powerful change in my life. I know that, by staying in His will, I have positioned myself to receive every blessing promised in His Word, and I receive it now by faith. In Jesus’ Name!

As you regularly speak this confession to stay in the will of God, you can expect to see a change begin in your heart. Your spirit will begin to conform to the Word of God and your desire to stay in His perfect will for you will grow. This is the beginning of a great and powerful journey in your life. Be blessed!

7 Steps to Receiving the Desires of Your Heart

If you’ve subscribed to the world’s view of health and aging–it’s time to reprogram! God’s way is the better way–long life, strength, vitality and divine health. It is possible. You do not have to accept declining strength and energy, fading vision and hearing, or anything else! You can live in supernatural and divine health.

Along with right food choices, exercise and proper medical care, the best thing you can do for your body is speak the Word of God. More powerful than anything on earth, the Word of God can change things in the physical when the world has run out of answers. If you’re ready to start moving toward living in divine health for the rest of your days, you can begin right now by speaking these daily confessions for living in divine health:

  • I am a believer! I believe the Word of God above anything and anyone else. I believe His Word above my thoughts and feelings. His Word is truth! (Proverbs 4:20-22)
  • I am not led by my flesh in the choices I make with food. I am not tempted by processed or sugary foods. Instead, I am led by the Spirit and eat what is healthy and life-giving for my physical body. I have a spirit of self-control, and I am in control of the foods I eat every day. (Galatians 5:22-23, 25; 1 Corinthians 6:12)
  • Today, I speak life, strength, health, energy and vitality to my body. No matter how I’m feeling right now, I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. I do not receive sickness. I do not receive disease. I do not receive malfunction in my body of any kind. I do not receive fatigue or any other attack on my body. I receive the life, strength and energy of God!(Ephesians 6:10; James 4:7)
  • I am strong and healthy. I enjoy exercise, and I take time to strengthen my body. I do this so I can be a blessing to those around me and have the energy to serve the Lord in every way He asks. I am increasing in endurance, and I purpose to make exercise a regular part of my daily life. (1 Timothy 4:8)
  • I have supernatural knowledge about how to take care of my body. I am led by the Spirit of God about how to approach whole-life health. I do not let the world dictate how I care for my body, but I seek the Lord in making decisions. (Romans 8:14)
  • God has said to me that with long life He will satisfy me, so I declare now in the Name of Jesus that I will live long and strong on the earth. Like Moses, my eyesight will not grow dim. Like the Israelites, I will not be feeble; I will increase in strength and memory–not decrease. I do not receive the world’s views about aging. I am getting stronger and healthier every day! (Psalm 91:16; Deuteronomy 34:7)
  • Jesus is the Name above all names. His Name is above every sickness and disease, and every sickness and disease must bow to His Name. So, I speak the Name of Jesus over every part of my body today. I declare that His Name is driving out anything that is under the curse, because He has redeemed me from the curse!(Philippians 2:9; Galatians 3:13)
  • I speak supernatural energy and health to my body. I am not moved by lying symptoms. I call myself strong in Jesus’ Name. I call myself healed in Jesus’ Name. Weakness, pain, tiredness–I speak to you in the Name of Jesus and command you to leave my body. You may not stay–you must go! My strength and youth are being renewed as the eagle’s. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Psalm 103:5; Philippians 4:13)

When you speak these daily confessions for living in divine health based on the Word of God, your body will follow what you say! God wants a strong Church that is able to minister to others, bless those in need, and spread the gospel through all the earth. And He expects us to do this until His return! Renew your mind, renew your strength, and walk in divine health every day!

God wants His people to receive everything He has promised, so knowing what He promised is vital! God’s will is always to prosper His people–He will never forget you nor forsake you. When it seems like there is nothing you can do–speak faith–speak victory. Begin today with these confessions for financial victory you can declare by faith!

  • Abraham’s BLESSING belongs to me. Abundance and prosperity are God’s will for my life, so I call myself debt free in Jesus’ Name. I declare my mortgage, cars and debts are paid off. God’s favor and BLESSING are active and operating in every area of my life (Galatians 3:14-29; Romans 13:8; Psalm 5:12).
  • Everything I do prospers and succeeds. The wisdom of God helps me to make sound financial decisions. I am blessed and highly favored among men (Deuteronomy 30:9; Psalm 1:3).
  • My God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory. He is Jehovah Jireh–my Provider. My job is not my source. My credit cards and my relatives are not my source. God is my only Source of supply, and I trust in Him (Philippians 4:19).
  • I refuse to worry about my financial situation. I will not fall into the temptation to fear or have anxiety or any care. I cast my cares over onto the Lord because if He takes care of the birds and flowers, He’ll certainly take care of me (Matthew 6:25-34).
  • I am a faithful tither–and because I tithe, my finances are protected from the devourer. Right now, I rebuke the devourer in the Name of Jesus–I command you to release my finances now and flee. I plead the blood of Jesus over my money and my possessions. No weapon formed against me, my family or my finances will prosper in Jesus’ Name (Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 18:12; Isaiah 54:17)!
  • I seek first the kingdom of God; therefore, everything I need will be added to me. The Lord takes pleasure in my prosperity, so I declare that I am prosperous in Jesus’ Name! I have more than enough, I am blessed to be a blessing! I am a giver, and I receive a hundredfold return in this time (Matthew 6:33; Psalm 35:27; Mark 10:30).
  • I walk in a spirit of self-control with my finances. I will not be tempted to overspend or lust after material possessions. I am a faithful steward of the finances God has blessed me with, and I will not go into debt from this day forward. I choose to live by faith (Galatians 5:16; Psalm 119:66; Hebrews 10:38).
  • I delight myself in the Lord, and He gives me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4).
  • I refuse to fear or be shaken by financial trials. I have the peace of God operating in my life, and I know God has a plan for me to experience financial victory in my life. I cast every situation over onto my God. He is my Provider, my Deliverer and my Strong Tower. I will wait patiently in faith for the direction of the Holy Spirit. I am victorious in my finances (Isaiah 43:19; John 14:1; John 14:27; Hebrews 13:5; 2 Corinthians 2:14)!

Keep on believing and speaking these daily confessions for financial victory, and you will see the glory of the Lord in your finances. No matter how troubling your situation, God can and will turn it around. He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Trust in Him, keep the faith, and stand for financial victory!

5 Ways to Overcome Financial Pressure

If you’re believing for a harvest in your life–whether it be healing, finances, family or all three–once you’ve planted seed, your job isn’t over! God has given us a process of seedtime and harvest. During the time between planting and harvesting, it’s important not to neglect that seed. 

The word from the Lord through Kenneth Copeland for 2019 is the Year of Abundant Harvest. It’s an exciting time to be a believer! But an abundant harvest doesn’t happen automatically. Our harvest in life depends entirely on what we sow. And where we sow has everything to do with what kind of harvest we will reap. 

Once you’ve sown good seed into the spiritual ground, you must “water” your seed daily. How? By speaking the Word of God over it consistently. You can begin today toward reaping in the Year of Abundant Harvest by speaking these scriptures, taken from the King James Version of the Bible, and confessions, as provided by Jerry Savelle, over your seed.

1. Genesis 8:22

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest shall not cease.”  

Confession: “Therefore, I sow my seeds in faith, knowing that the law of seedtime and harvest is working on my behalf.” 

2. Genesis 1:11

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth…after his kind…and it was so.”  

Confession: “I have sown financial seeds, and I’m expecting them to produce after their own kind in the form of financial blessings.”

3. Mark 4:26-27

“So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground…and the seed should spring and grow up.” 

Confession: “Therefore, I’m expecting every seed that I have sown to grow up, to spring up, and to produce an abundant harvest.”

4. Job 36:11

“If they obey and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”  

Confession: “Therefore, because I have been obedient to God, I have sown my seeds. I fully expect my days to be filled with prosperity and my years with pleasures.”

5. Psalm 115:12, 14

“The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us…. The Lord shall increase you more and more.”  

Confession: “Therefore, because God has seen my sowing, His mind is continually on me. I’m expecting more and more financial blessings, and more and more financial increase to come into my life.”

6. Luke 6:38

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”  

Confession: “Therefore, because I have given, I’m expecting good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running-over harvest from every seed that I’ve sown.”

7. 2 Corinthians 9:6

“He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”  

Confession: “I’m entitled to and I’m expecting a bountiful harvest because I am a bountiful sower.”

8. 2 Corinthians 9:8

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”  

Confession: “Therefore, I’m expecting to have all sufficiency, more than enough, abounding in financial blessings, so that I am able to sow into every good work which the Holy Spirit impresses me to be a blessing to.”

9. 2 Chronicles 20:20

“Believe in the Lord your God, and so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.”  

Confession: “Therefore, since I do believe in the Lord my God, and I believe what His prophet has spoken regarding 2019 being my year of abundant harvest, then I’m expecting to be established and prosper each day throughout this year. It shall come to pass in my life in Jesus’ Name. So be it.”

As you water your seed with the Word of God and speak these faith-filled confessions, believe to receive an abundant harvest in 2019! Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t happen right away–let patience have her perfect work. You will reap an abundant harvest if you don’t give up!

Watch as Jerry Savelle prays for watering seed, calling in abundance harvest.

3 Ways to Reap in the Year of Abundant Harvest

Faith is the doorway to abundance. It’s the key to unlimited treasure. Its laws of operation are sure, steadfast and as unchanging as Jesus Himself. The laws of faith apply to every area of life–spiritual, mental, physical, financial, relational and professional. 

Did you know that you have the same right to use the faith of God as Jesus has? After all, God is as much your Father as He is Jesus’ Father. You’re as much His child as Jesus is. Does the Scripture only say all things are possible with God? No, it also says all things are possible to the believer.

But, it’s up to us how far we go with the faith He has given us. The only limits placed on the growth of faith are there because of us, not because the Father has limited it in any way. The growth of our faith is in direct proportion to the time spent developing it. It’s not like the growth of natural things that have built-in limitations. Faith will continue to grow until it becomes however large it has to be, to overcome whatever the storms of life bring against us. 

Satan is limited. Everything in this world of sin and death, thank God, is defeated. Faith is unlimited. Why? Because its source is unlimited. 

That’s why faith is so easy for the person who spends time in the Word. It’s as natural to the life of the believer as swimming is to a fish. It’s what we were born to do–BELIEVE!

You can begin today to develop your faith to a level that will touch every area of your life and make a change where you need it the most. Begin today by speaking these three confessions to build your faith.

1. A Confession to Ignore Natural Circumstances

I’m not moved by what I see, feel or experience. I have the God kind of faith. God’s Word is in my heart and in my mouth. I have spoken my faith and I believe I receive ________. Though I haven’t yet seen the physical results, I know I have them and am unmoved by negative circumstances.

Thank You, God, that I have a great High Priest in heaven, and His Name is Jesus Christ. He said I can have whatever I say. So, out of the abundance of my heart, I speak the Word of God over my situation. Your Word never fails!

Scriptures: Romans 10:8; Mark 11:23-24; James 2:17; Hebrews 4:14-16; Matthew12:34

2. A Confession to Move Mountains

I do as Jesus did, and I speak to the mountain of _________ in my life. I command ___________ to be removed from my (life, body, relationship, job) and cast it into the sea and away from me! I believe I receive it removed by faith.

I have no doubt in my mind that I am free from ________. No weapons of fear, doubt or unbelief formed against me shall prosper. I call those things that are not as though they were and hope for what I do not have–waiting patiently for it to come to pass in my life.

Scriptures: Mark 11:23-25; Isaiah 54:17; Romans 4:17, 8:25

3. A Confession That Declares, “My Faith Works”

I hear, study, believe and confess God’s Word, and my faith continues to grow. I abide in God and His Word abides in me. So, I for what I need according to His Word, and I believe I receive it by faith. Jesus is Lord over my situation, and I do not fear or worry about what I’m going through because I released my faith, and God’s will is being done in my life right now.

Jesus is the Author and Finisher of my faith, so I look to Him by believing and acting on His Word! I believe that my faith works because I believe God’s Word is true, it comes to pass, and He is the rewarder of those who seek Him. I not only hear the Word, but I act on it by faith. I do not doubt, but I believe in my heart that I have what I spoke by faith.

Scriptures: Romans 10:17; John 15:7; Mark 11:23-24s; Hebrews 12:2, 11:6; James 2:17

When you speak these three confessions to build your faith on a regular basis, you will begin to renew your mind to the truth in God’s Word and see a change in every area of your life! Don’t ever let the devil have the last word. Speak the Word of God–speak faith! 

Watch Kenneth Copeland teach how faith is a spiritual force given by God, but it’s up to you to grow your faith!

Faith That Gives Glory to God

Are you living in the overflow? The land of more than enough? Most Christians aren’t. But the time has come for us to live on a higher dimension of God’s provision. The time has come for us to live beyond paycheck to paycheck. The time has come for us to give our tithes and offerings, pay all our bills, and still have much left over at the end of the month.

John 10:10 in the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition says: “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).”

Release your faith for an overflowing harvest. Believe for great abundance for you and your family. Leviticus 26:10 (NIV-84) declares, “You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.”

There is a promise in Malachi 3:10 (KJV) that belongs to every tither. It says, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

Pastor George Pearsons calls this “THE BLESSING FLOOD.”

The word windows is from a Hebrew word that means “floodgates.” It is the same word used in Genesis 7:11: “The windows [floodgates] of heaven were opened” (KJV). It rained for 40 days on the earth–so much that the waters finally topped out at more than 22 feet above the highest mountain. Now that’s a major flood!

That’s a picture of THE BLESSING FLOOD that God is pouring out over us.

If you’re ready to step into THE BLESSING FLOOD, here is a confession of faith to live in the overflow you can speak every day:

I am living in the overflow.
I have a surplus of prosperity.
I have more than enough.
I am blessed beyond measure.
My cup is running over.
I am furnished in abundance.
I receive multiple streams of income.
My storehouses are full and overflowing.
I am increasing more and more.
It is flood stage!
The floodgates of heaven are opened, and THE BLESSING is pouring out.
There is not room enough to contain it all.
I am experiencing “THE BLESSING FLOOD”!

As you speak these words of faith, see yourself being covered up with provision. See so much coming into your life that it is beyond measure. You won’t be able to keep up with the flood of blessing pouring out over you.

Ezekiel 34:26 is another example of THE BLESSING FLOOD: “And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing” (KJV). This is not a light rain as religion has taught. The word shower is from a Hebrew word that means, “to pour down violently.” It is also defined as “a falling of things from the air in large quantities and in thick succession.”

Expect THE BLESSING FLOOD to completely cover you.

Oral Roberts once said, “Not a trickle, not a stream, not a river, but a flood! It’s flood stage!”

When you believe it and speak it, you are operating in an unstoppable faith. Keep believing, keep speaking, and get ready to live in the overflow!

In Jesus’ Name. It’s more than a phrase we tack on to the end of our prayers. All that God is and does is represented in the Name of Jesus. John 14:13 (AMPC), says when you ask in His Name, you present your requests to the Father on the basis of all that Jesus is. So, you can boldly expect to have those requests granted–not because you’re worthy, but because He is!

What’s more, the Name of Jesus carries authority over all other names. Philippians 2:9-10 says, “God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (NKJV). 

The Bible is clear about the power of the Name! Yet, most Christians don’t seem to put much stock in it. They’ll pray in the Name of Jesus, then turn right around and say, “I sure hope God answers that prayer.” They don’t realize that if they only had the faith to believe it, Jesus’ Name alone carries enough clout to guarantee their prayers will be answered.

As a believer, you have right and authority to use that Name and expect signs to follow. Here is a confession of faith in the Name of Jesus you can say with boldness.

Today, right now, I declare that there is power in the Name of Jesus. And it’s through His Name that I have the victory. I have it now. I have it in the Name that’s above every name–the mighty Name of Jesus. And, when I speak that Name, demons have to flee. Sickness has to depart from me. Poverty is no longer my lot in life. Lack has to go when I speak the Name.

Jesus is Lord. He’s Lord over my spirit, Lord over my mind, Lord over my body, Lord over my affairs. I call my affairs successful. I call my body healed. I call my mind sound. I call the Name of Jesus over my spirit, my mind and my body. I call the Name of Jesus over my family and all my affairs.

Money, I call you to me now. I call you in the Name of Jesus. I call my bills paid. I call all debts paid and eliminated. I call myself successful to the glory of God the Father and the uplifting of the Name of Jesus. I call my testimony effective. I call my life filled with God’s power.

I name my life after the Lord Jesus. I name my life success. I name my life filled with His power. I name my church successful. I call my pastor successful. I call my Sunday school class successful. I call my business successful. I call my boss successful. I call my family successful.  I call my wife/husband filled with love. I call my children filled with love. I call myself filled with the love of God in the Name of Jesus.        

By the power of the Name of Jesus–that is settled. The Bible says Jesus is the High Priest of our confession (Hebrews 3:1). We can expect to see results when we use His Name in faith!

Jesus’ Name. Dig into the Word and find out just how much power and authority it really carries. Then, use that power every time you pray. Stop hoping God will answer, and start expecting Him to cause every circumstance in your life to bow its knee in honor of that glorious Name!

You have the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus! Watch as Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplanits talk about the power of that Name!

Want to Do Greater Works Than Jesus?

One nation under God. That’s who we are. With privilege becomes responsibility (Luke 12:48). With the tremendous freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America, we are also stewards in the eyes of God of this precious gift. We are called to contend for righteousness, to love truth and justice, and to be bold as lions. Because God has given free will and authority to His children, the key to victory in our nation lies with YOU.

Contending for our nation can be challenging and even overwhelming when looking into the face of so much evil. But we are not to give up; rather we are to run the race that is set before us knowing that when we run, we will not grow weary or faint. 

Below is a confession to speak over your nation that you can declare in faith:

As a child of God and a citizen of the United States, I declare that we are a godly nation and established in righteousness. We are and will always be One Nation Under God. Our battle in this nation is not against flesh and blood, but against demonic authorities, powers and spiritual forces. As a steward of this nation, I take my spiritual authority over Satan and his forces as one who is now seated with Christ in heavenly places far above all rule and authority, power and dominion (Ephesians 1:21, 2:6).  Satan, you can’t have this country. It doesn’t belong to you; it belongs to God! 

In the Name of Jesus, I declare that our leaders–all across this nation, on every level–are making decisions that will lead our country in God’s ways and according to His Word. 

I speak change to the politics of our nation–that voices of influence are changing to speak in agreement with the Word of God. Those who oppose God are being replaced with those who follow Him. Those who promote sin and unrighteousness in government, schools, media and entertainment are being replaced with those who will promote godly, biblical principles. 

Christians are coming forward–speaking as boldly as lions for what is right and against what is wrong. I call abortion dethroned, dismantled and deactivated in the Name of Jesus. I declare that life-giving pregnancy centers are opening at a record pace, and Planned Parenthood centers are closing their doors to evil, death and destruction.

I call the foundations of marriage restored in the Name of Jesus. Perverse ideas and lifestyles will no longer be glorified, but there will be a celebration of truth, righteousness and strong, healthy families.

I declare today that Christians are voting in record numbers, influencing our culture for good, being faithful stewards, and serving as light in a dark world. I declare that those who are called to the seven mountains of influence in our culture are hearing and answering the call like never before. 

Christians are rising to the top of businesses in record numbers–promoting godliness without fear and giving of their resources to those in need like a cup of cold water in Jesus’ Name.

I declare that the greatest awakening this world has ever seen is here! Miracles, signs, wonders, gifts, and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit and power are in strong operation in the Church. Believers everywhere are unified in the love, power and glory of Jesus’ Name for the good of our nation and proliferation of the gospel all over the world.

I call the United States of America one nation under God, serving God, honoring God and glorifying God in all things. Jesus is LORD over America!

When you speak this confession over your nation in faith, you are taking an important spiritual step toward seeing victory! Keep praying, keep confessing, keep voting and most of all–keep standing in faith for America.

Whom Should You Vote For? How to Choose the Right Candidate

If you feel like you’ve been living at the bottom of the barrel, struggling to make ends meet, putting things back on the shelf at the grocery store, and praying you’ll have enough just to pay your bills–you aren’t living the life Jesus died to give you! 

Throughout the Bible, God is clear–His plan for His children is abundance. Just look at how often He refers to finances. There are approximately 500 references to faith and 500 references to prayer in the Bible. How many references are made to finances? 2,000!

God wants you to prosper. And He wants you to know how to achieve wealth properly and handle it wisely. When Christians prosper, the whole world stands to prosper! 

Part of becoming a prosperous Christian is learning to speak faith. In this case–speak the components of a prosperous believer as seen in Psalm 112 and 2 Corinthians 9–it’s the profile you want to fit!

This person is one who thinks, acts and lives in a very specific way. He lives differently than everyone else–and he talks differently than anyone else. You won’t hear a prosperous Christian complaining about the economy, speaking debt, layoffs, doom and gloom. No. A prosperous Christian is solid in knowing the Source of all good and abundance–God.

He doesn’t fear, he doesn’t worry, he doesn’t think about money all the time. He is secure, at rest and trusting in God–and not because he is already prosperous, but because that’s how he arrived in that place to begin with.

If you spend a lot of time with negative people who speak poverty, you’re probably stuck on the merry-go-round of thinking poverty and receiving poverty yourself. If that’s true, it’s time to get off that merry-go-round and join a different group–the faith group! 

When you spend time with prosperous, faith-filled believers, you’ll start seeing things the way they do. You’ll start speaking the way they do. You’ll start believing the way they do. They’ll influence you for good.

You can begin changing how you think and speak today! Here is the confession of a prosperous Christian you can speak in faith–expecting results.

I declare that I am a child of God, and He loves me. My God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory. It is His will that I prosper in every area of my life–lacking nothing. Whatever I do prospers and succeeds because He said He would make it so. Because I fear (reverence) the Lord and delight in God’s commands, my descendants are mighty in love, faith and power in the earth. My family is blessed. Wealth and riches are in my house. I have right-standing with God forever. I have light (revelation, wisdom and understanding) in the darkness. I am gracious and full of compassion. I am not shaken by circumstances, and I am not afraid, because I trust the Lord in all things. I am a very generous person–I give to the poor as God has commanded, and I am always ready and willing to give. I am a tither and a sower! And because of this, He causes me to have all sufficiency in all things all the time. My relationship with God will be remembered with honor. I am blessed so I can bless others. I am a prosperous Christian!

Faith is rising! Let it keep coming until it boils over! 

When you consistently speak the Word of God in faith over your life and circumstances, you will move closer to living a life of prosperity. Remember–it is God’s will for you to prosper. Keep speaking. Keep believing. Keep standing. Your abundance is here. Live in it, walk in it and enjoy it. Don’t settle for less!

We look forward to hearing about your experiences of increase in every area of your life. Please send them to us by visiting kcm.org/testify.

6 Scriptures to Help You Trust Jesus With Your Finances

Contending for healing and remaining in divine health can feel like a roller coaster ride. One day you’re feeling strong and ready for the fight, the next day you feel a symptom, still haven’t received what you’re believing for, and you’re tempted to give up. Can you relate?

The key to your success lies in consistency. Consistency in what you say, what you believe and how you stand. To help keep you on the narrow path (the one that leads to victory), begin each day with the Word of God.

Here are 10 healing confessions, based on scriptures from the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition, for every day to help get you started:

  1. I am convinced and sure that He who began a good work in me will continue until the day of Jesus Christ, developing and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in me. (Philippians 1:6)
  2. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. You came, Lord, that I may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). (John 10:10)
  3. You, Lord, have taken my griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses and distresses) and carried my sorrows and pains. You were wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my guilt and iniquities; the chastisement needed for my peace and well-being was upon You, Jesus, and by Your stripes I am healed and made whole. (Isaiah 53:4-5)
  4. I gratefully praise You, Lord and do not forget all Your benefits. You forgive all my iniquities and heal all my diseases. You redeem my life from the pit and corruption. You beautify, dignify, and crown me with lovingkindness and tender mercy. You satisfy my mouth with good things, so my youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:2-5)
  5. I attend to God’s Word and submit to His sayings. I will keep them in my sight, and in the center of my heart. They are life to me, and healing to my whole body. (Proverbs 4:20-22)
  6. Because I have made You, Lord, my refuge, and the Most High my dwelling place, there shall no evil befall me, nor any plague or calamity come near my house. Because I have set my love on You, Lord, therefore You deliver me. You set me securely on high, because I have known Your Name. I call upon You, Lord, and You answer me. You, Father, are with me in trouble. You deliver and honor me. With long life You will satisfy me and show me Your salvation. (Psalm 91:9-10, 14-16)
  7. God has not given me a spirit of timidity and fear. He has given me a spirit of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control.(2 Timothy 1:7)
  8. You give power to me when I am faint and weary. In my weakness, You increase strength in me. I wait for You [expect, look for, and hope in You] and You renew my strength and power. I will lift up with wings of strength and rise as an eagle. I shall run and not be weary, I shall walk and not faint or become tired. (Isaiah 40:29, 31)
  9. Even though I have a physical body, I will not carry on warfare according to the flesh, using mere human weapons. The weapons of my warfare are not physical (weapons of flesh and blood), they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds. I refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and I lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
  10. I will not fret or have anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make my requests known to God. God’s peace, which transcends all understanding, shall garrison and mount guard over my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:6-7)

When you consistently speak the Word of God, you will stay on the right road–the one that leads to healing! Keep speaking. Keep believing. Keep standing. Your healing (and continual divine health) is here. Live in it, walk in it and enjoy it. Most of all–TAKE IT AND KEEP IT!

How to Receive (and Keep) Your Healing

Healing Scriptures to Speak Daily

When you need healing–you need faith! To activate and grow your faith for healing, the Word of God is a powerful tool in getting the truth down inside your spirit. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God–over and over and over.

The following scriptures, from the King James Version of the Bible (unless otherwise noted), have helped Kenneth and Gloria Copeland get healed and stay healed, again and again. Read them continually to keep your faith for healing high. Most of them originated from a list made by Dodie Osteen, who was healed of terminal liver cancer many years ago. She took them daily like medicine until every symptom was gone, and she still takes them every day to maintain divine health.

“To be spoken by mouth three times a day until faith comes, then once a day to maintain faith. If circumstances grow worse, double the dosage. There are no harmful side effects.” – Charles Capps

Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The Keys That Unlock Healing

Is Healing for Everyone?

You can change your circumstances by saying this, not that! Learn to choose and speak the right words and change your future!

You probably remember the story. Caleb had just returned from spying out the Promised Land. All the spies who had gone there with him, except for Joshua, had come back with “an evil report.” They acknowledged that the land was good and flowing with milk and honey, but they said it would be impossible to conquer.

When the Israelites heard that news, they all started weeping and wailing. But Caleb interrupted them. “Wait a minute!” he said. “If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land…and will give it to us” (Numbers 14:8, NIV).

Caleb wasn’t just being positive–God had already promised to give them the land. He was declaring God’s Word and saying by faith, “We can do this!” But those with a bad report were speaking in unbelief. They not only said, “We cannot do this!” They said, “We might as well have died in the wilderness!”

You probably know how it ended. The entire generation of doubters died in the wilderness, but Caleb laid claim to the land and walked right into it. In other words, everyone there got what they said! 

Saying and believing is God’s plan of dominion. It’s how we, as Christians, got born again. And now that we’re saved, we’re supposed to receive all His other BLESSINGS by using the same process. 

Sadly, however, a lot of believers haven’t been doing that. They’ve just ridden along passively in the passenger seat of life, unhappy about what’s happening to them, and yet not using the power of their words to change it.

“Well,” someone might say, “I’ve never been a fan of making faith confessions. I like to leave everything up to God. He’s really the One who chooses what’s going to happen in our lives.” No, He’s not. He’s given that choice to us (Deuteronomy 30:14-15, 19).

Just like the Israelites, we can have a bad report or a good report. And, in the end, we will have what we say. So, let’s start exchanging wrong words for right ones–a bad report for a good, faith-filled report.

Here are some common things people say, and how to replace them with confessions based on the Word of God:

Bad Report No. 1: “I get sick every year.”

That may have been true in the past, but it should not be true of your future! God’s will is that you live in divine health all the days of your life (Galatians 3:13). Because we know we’ll have what we say (Mark 11:24), speak healing, protection and divine health over your body instead.

SAY THIS
“I do not expect or receive any kind of sickness or disease in my body. I resist it in the Name of Jesus. I rebuke it now. No plague will come near my home. I walk in supernatural and divine health every day of my life!” 

Psalm 91:10; Galatians 3:13; Colossians 2:15

Bad Report No. 2: “I’m really worried about my kids.”

No one would argue that raising kids is a tough job! Parents feel a deep sense of responsibility for how their children turn out. It can often be tempting to worry about our children–even fearing for them in one way or another. In fact, the world will make you think you’re not a good parent if you don’t worry! But that’s not God’s best. He desires for you to live without fear or worry, to turn your children over to His care, and at the same time take spiritual authority over them. You can enjoy the freedom to parent from a standpoint of a victory already won!

SAY THIS
“My children have a bright and glorious future. They will serve God with a faithful heart and make wise choices. My children have divine protection and walk in divine health. They choose godly friends and refuse to turn to the right or to the left, but instead stay on the narrow path of righteousness. They have the favor of God!”

Isaiah 53:5, 54:13; Psalm 91; Proverbs 4:27, 13:20

Bad Report No. 3: “I’m probably going to get laid off this year, just like everyone else.”

A child of God has no business expecting the worst. Jesus died to give you everything you could ever need or want; living like the rest of the world does disrespects the gifts He bore so much torment to secure for you. You are in this world, but you are not of it and you are no longer under the curse! When 10,000 are being laid off around you–it won’t touch you. Instead, you’ll be the one promoted, relocated or offered a better position. So don’t speak anything else!

SAY THIS
“My God is more than enough. I’m blessed and I’m prosperous. My needs are met according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. God’s favor surrounds me like a shield. I am always increasing. I’m blessed when I come in, I’m blessed when I go out. I am expecting the best job of my life!”

Deuteronomy 28:6; Psalm 5:12; Philippians 4:19

You can change what you say! Don’t give Satan your words–that’s the only way he can get in your life and your business. It’s the only way he can steal what belongs to you. Instead, give God place by giving Him words to work with–words that come straight from His Word.

Whatever it takes to make you free, speak it out in the Name of Jesus and command it to come to pass. Speak the result that you desire. Then expect it to come to pass!

31 Scriptures About the Power of Your Words

Start building your faith today by speaking these declarations of faith for your finances, healing and relationships.

Do you need to receive something from the Lord today? Healing, provision, reconciliation? While seeking God first paves the path to receiving the promises (Matthew 6:33), we need fully persuaded faith that declares with our mouths that we receive what we need.

However, you can speak words of faith and not be fully persuaded. That’s just spitting words out of your mouth. But if you keep talking faith until it gets down into your heart, eventually those seeds you’ve planted will begin to grow. Then, you will become fully persuaded that God will do what He said He would do. That’s when you start seeing results.

Start building your faith today by speaking these declarations of faith for your finances, healing and relationships.

1. Finances

Let’s say you need $2,000 by Wednesday.  If you start thinking there’s no way you’re going to get $2,000, stop yourself. Start training yourself to become fully persuaded.

Say: “My God shall meet my needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), Wednesday or no Wednesday. It doesn’t make any difference to me where He has to go get it. I am fully persuaded that my God is able and willing; I am standing on His Word and I am standing on faith!”

2. Healing

If you need healing in your body, but you keep feeling symptoms day after day after day–don’t give up! Don’t give in and start believing natural circumstances. When you believe you receive your healing, you take it. You talk to your body. You talk to your body all the time. Do you have a pain? Don’t just run and tell someone, “Oh, I’m hurting again. I’m hurting again.” No! 

Say: “You’re healed, body. I’m healed. Pain, you get out of my body!  You’re not staying on my body. I’m not having any sickness and disease. I rebuke this sickness off my body.  I’ll not tolerate it. Jesus said He bore my sicknesses and carried my diseases, and I am healed.” 

You know, it’s kind of fun once you get the hang of it. You just kind of feel like I’ve got this. I can do this. Believe you receive it. “I take this healing now in Jesus’ Name.” Lay hands on yourself and say, “I’m healed from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.”

3. Relationships

Whether you’re believing for a relative to be born again or for a broken relationship to be restored, first you need to become fully persuaded that it is God’s will for you. Keep declaring it in faith to build your faith until you become fully persuaded!

Say: “I declare by faith that every member of my family will come into the kingdom of God–be born again, Spirit filled and living in victory. I declare by faith that I am patient and kind. I am not rude, self-seeking or easily angered. I declare a turnaround in my relationship with ______. The light of Christ is shining through me and this relationship is restored in Jesus’ Name.”

When you speak these declarations of faith to receive what you’re after, aggressive faith will rise up in your spirit. As you determine to be strong in faith, persistent and unwilling to quit, you will be victorious. Expect to see a change in your life. There is power in what you declare with your mouth–so live your faith out loud!

How to Activate Fully Persuaded Faith

If you’re ready to develop the kind of bulldog faith that bites down on the Word of God and won’t let go–you need determination! There is power in speaking the Word of God aloud over your life and confessing that you are determined in your pursuit of THE BLESSING of God.

When you speak a confession of determination, you develop your faith, protect your spirit, and resist the devil’s attempts to rob you of your abundant life.

The following is a psalm or confession of determination, written by Pastor George Pearsons years ago, when God called him to a higher level in his faith–bulldog faith. He has seen a powerful move of God as a result, and so can you!

Say this today:

I have made up my mind.

I have made my decision.

I have set my faith.

I am fully persuaded that I am going to make it.

Nothing is going to stop me.

Nothing is going to hold me back.

Nothing is going to keep me down.

Nothing is going to stand in my way of the fullness of THE BLESSING.

For I am determined. You can’t talk me out of it. You can’t discourage me from it.

You can’t deter me from all that is mine in Christ.

For I am determined, undaunted, unbending, unflagging, unflinching.

No matter what happens, I am going to make it.

According to the Word of God, I am going to make it.

For in Him, I am determined.

When you speak this confession of determination, aggressive faith will rise up in your spirit. As you determine to be strong in faith, persistent and unwilling to quit–you will be victorious. Expect to see a change in your life. There is power in your words–now tap into it!

5 Characteristics of Bulldog Faith

What Is A Confession?

You may not know it, but we’re at war. We’re in a spiritual battle–and we’re winning. But just like Israel had to rise up physically to take the land of Canaan, you and I have to rise up in the spirit if we’re going to establish the dominion of God in the earth.

Your being born in the country where you live gives you certain legal rights as a human being. As a Christian, you also have certain legal rights and choices spiritually and physically. Why? Because Jesus bought and paid for those rights.

Jesus took Satan’s legal rights away from him when He rose from the grave, and He has put us in charge of enforcing Satan’s defeat. The Bible says that Jesus will sit at the right hand of the Father until His enemies are made His footstool (Hebrews 10:12-13). Do you know what that means? It means Jesus is waiting on us to kick Satan and his crew out of this world’s affairs! He’s waiting on us to carry out the victory He won at the Cross.

You have legal rights in God to operate in this Kingdom.  All you need to know is: How do you do it? Here are four ways you can stand for your legal covenant rights:

1. Know your rights

If you’re going to fight for your covenant rights, the first thing you need to do is find out what they are! Where do you find them? In the Word of God. The Bible is your spiritual “bill of righteousness,” outlining all the rights and privileges available to you. Whether or not you partake of your rights is another matter. Ignorance will rob you of the abundant life that is freely available to you.

The best illustration of this is the story of the man who saved for years to be able to buy a boat ticket to America. Once he had saved enough, he bought his ticket and boarded the ship. Since he didn’t have any money left for food, he brought along some crackers and cheese. Every evening at mealtime, he would look into the dining room at the other passengers enjoying their food, then he would return to his cabin and eat his crackers and cheese. The day the ship docked in New York harbor, a steward came to him and said, “Sir, have we offended you in any way? I noticed that you didn’t eat any of your meals in our dining room.” The man answered, “Oh, no! You see, I didn’t have enough money for meals, so I ate in my room.” Then the steward said, “But sir, your meals were included in the ticket!”

There is so much included in your right-standing with God, which was provided through Christ Jesus. Let’s take a look at a short list of your rights. This is by no means an exhaustive list–so be sure to check the Word whenever you have a need or desire!

  • You have a right to approach the throne of God–to pray
  • You have a right to a healthy body and mind
  • You have a right to prosper on the earth in all things:
    • To be debt free
    • To have a home
    • To have a car–or two cars
    • To have more than enough to prosper and share with the poor and promote the gospel
    • To bear children
    • To have healthy and positive relationships
  • You have a right to be free of all fear and have total peace
  • You have a right to use the Name of Jesus
  • You have a right to take authority over the devil
  • You have a right to expect good things in this life
  • You have a right to live long on the earth.

2. Stake your claim

Once you know your rights, you can now stake your claim and put a demand for those rights. Now, you’re not demanding them from God–He already provided them for you. You’re demanding that the devil release them into your hands!

How?

Go to the Word, find the scriptures that outline your right in the area you are seeking. Then, you take a stand. If you are believing to be debt free, for example, you can say this:

Father, in the Name of Jesus, your Word says that I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13), and that I am to owe no man anything but to love him (Romans 13:8). You said You give Your children good and perfect gifts from above (James 1:17), and You take pleasure in the prosperity of Your servants (Psalm 35:27). So, right now, in the Name of Jesus, I declare that I am debt free. I speak to the mountain of debt and command it to move in Jesus’ Name! Devil–you release what is rightfully mine right now in the Name of Jesus! You will not steal from me, you have no authority in my life; now go!

3. Expect to receive it

Here comes the tough part. You need to stand. Not just for a minute or a month–but for as long as it takes. That’s how you claim your rights. As Brother Copeland says, “I don’t have to play a nine-inning game with the devil. I play till I win. It’s my bat, it’s my ball, and my Father is the judge. We don’t quit till we win.”

4. Thank God as you enjoy it

Thank God before it manifests; thank Him after it manifests. There is a faith in thanksgiving that seals your rights in place. So, thank God after you stake your claim. Let Him know you are expecting it to come to pass. Keep praising and keep thanking–it will ruffle the devil’s feathers until he has to turn tail and run the other way. Then, when you get your answer, give God the glory. And thank Him and praise Him some more.

When you take the time to stand for your rights by knowing what they are, staking your claim, expecting results and thanking God, you’ll be the victor in the courts of heaven. When you do, righteousness will become an active, powerful force in your life!

The Personal Daily Confession of PASTORS GEORGE AND TERRI PEARSONS

(ABRIDGED VERSION)

There is power in speaking the Word of God aloud over your life on a daily basis. When you do this, you develop your faith, you protect your spirit, and you resist the devil’s attempts to get you into fear, sickness, poverty and anything else that will rob you of your abundant life.

When you make the decision to speak the Word as part of your daily routine, you will see a transformation in your spirit, soul and body.

The following is the personal daily confession of Pastors George and Terri Pearsons. They’ve seen a powerful move of God as a result, and, so can you! Say this today:

  • We are expecting our greatest blessing EVER today, because great grace is upon us all.
     
  • We have victory over death and receive the manifestation of the love of Jesus.
     
  • We declare the glory of the Lord over our lives:
    • The manifested presence of God
    • The manifested power of God
    • The manifested goodness of God.
  • The presence of God, heavy with everything good, is upon us this day.
     
  • This is the Year of the Open Door. We are stepping through open doors into the glory.
     
  • This is the Year of Visitations, Manifestations and Demonstrations. We receive signs, wonders and miracles in our lives, ministry and church.
     
  • This is the Year of the Overcomer. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
     
  • This is the Year of the Jubilee. We are walking in freedom and liberty. The Spirit of the Lord is upon us because He has anointed us to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of Jubilee.
     
  • We are walking in the supernatural today:
    • Supernatural health
    • Supernatural wealth
    • Supernatural provision
    • Supernatural protection
    • Supernatural direction
    • Supernatural wisdom.
  • We are healed from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet.
  • We are delivered from destruction and walk in divine protection. No weapon formed against us shall prosper; and every tongue that rises up against us, we condemn; for this is the heritage of the Lord, and our righteousness is of Him.
     
  • We are led, directed and guided by the Holy Spirit.
     
  • We hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and a stranger’s voice we shall not follow.
     
  • We are prospering and increasing every day, we and our children.
     
  • Because we are tithers, the windows of heaven are opened over us, pouring out a blessing we can’t contain. The devourer is rebuked for our sakes. He shall not destroy the fruit of our ground and neither shall our vine cast her fruit before the time in the field. Nations call us blessed because we are a delightsome land. (Malachi 3:10-12)
     
  • Because we are sowers, the hundredfold return is working on our behalf every day. God is able to make all grace, every favor and earthly blessing, come to us in abundance, so that we may always, and under all circumstances, and whatever the need, be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support, and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
     
  • Because we are investors, our investments are producing mighty fruit. The Lord commands THE BLESSING upon us in our storehouses and upon all we set our hands to do.
     
  • Our spirits are strong, our emotions are settled, our minds are sharp, and our bodies are healed.
     
  • We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
     
  • We are like trees planted by the rivers of water who bear fruit in our season. Our leaves do not wither and whatsoever we do shall prosper.
     
  • Our steps are ordered by the Lord today, and we declare the end from the beginning, in Jesus’ Name.

When you speak these words in faith each day, faith will rise up in your spirit. As you call things that be not as though they were, declare God’s promises over your own life, and take authority over the devil–you will be victorious! Expect to see a change in your life as you speak His Word each day. And be sure not to speak anything to the contrary. Your words have power–now tap into it!

How to Control Your Thought Life

“‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’  The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” –Mark 12:30-31

If you’re looking to receive from God and enjoy all the benefits of THE BLESSING, one thing is sure, you must first walk in love. It’s one of the two greatest commandments (Mark 12:30-31)! When do you walk in love? All the time. Not just when someone is kind to you or in right-standing with you–but always. It can be tempting to step out of the love circle when someone offends you or has wronged you in some way. Walking in love takes work! To stay in position for blessing, here is a confession for walking in love you can say every day:

Father, As Your Word calls me to do, I love You with all my heart, soul and strength, and I love others as I love myself. Thank You that You are the giver of perfect love, and You love me no matter what. I receive Your love today and allow it to free me from all guilt, shame and condemnation.

As I receive Your love, I purpose in my heart today to show love to others and walk in it each and every day. I will not walk in unforgiveness. Instead, I choose to forgive immediately and take no further thought to any wrong done to me. I speak kindly to others, I am patient with them, I don’t get angry with others, and I look for ways to bless those around me, not criticize or condemn. I choose to be polite and thoughtful in everything I say and do, that it may be pleasing to You.

Thank You for giving me the spirit of power, love and a sound mind!
 

Love is a choice. When you choose to love others, you are in obedience to God and obedience opens the door to blessing. It connects you to an empowerment that will handle every issue you deal with because God is Love (1 John 4:8) and His power flows through that love.

When you speak this confession for walking in love, you are strengthening your spirit to stay in position for all God has for you. You’ll live a more peaceful, happy life that brings you closer to God. So, settle the love issue in your life and you’ll settle everything else, as well. Receive the love of God, love Him with all your heart, walk in love, and all will be well with you!

Scripture References: Luke 10:27; 1 Corinthians 13; 1 John 4:18; Galatians 5:1; Psalm 19:14; 2 Timothy 1:7; John 13:34

Walking in love always reaps a reward! Enjoy this broadcast with Kenneth and Gloria Copeland:

10 Ways to Be Filled With the Hope of Christmas

Prayer for Walking in Love

Fear has no place in the lives of believers. Sure, it tries to sneak in at every turn–your health, your family, your safety and possessions, but it doesn’t belong. The devil knows it, but he’ll always try to get you to take the bait. He’ll use things like bad reports, discouraging thoughts, a negative word from a co-worker or family member, and unpleasant circumstances to get you out of faith and in fear.

The good news is, you can defeat fear and experience with the peace of God. Fear doesn’t have to be part of your life anymore, but it’s going to take an active fight to keep it from taking hold of your thoughts. Are you ready to take a stand against fear?

Start meditating upon and speaking these 12 scriptures to defeat fear for good:

1. “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6

2. “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

3. “For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.'” – Isaiah 41:13, NKJV

4. “The Lord is my light and my salvation–so why should I be afraid?  The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?” – Psalm 27:1

5. “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” – Psalm 55:22

6. “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” -Psalm 118:6, NKJV

7. “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.” – Proverbs 29:25, NKJV

8. “Do not be afraid; only believe.” – Mark 5:36, NKJV

9. “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything.” – Philippians 4:6

10. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” -2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV

11. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” -1 John 4:18, NKJV

12. “He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.'” -Revelation 1:17, NKJV

How to Pass the Fear Test

How to Live Free From Fear – 4 Bold Steps You Can Make Today

As you spend time in the secular world, whether at work, school or in your neighborhood, you know there is a battle against the Word of God. So, how can you guard your heart against the barrage of fear and negativity? Keep your faith in action every day.

According to Proverbs 4, God says you must keep His Word constantly in your ears and in your heart. He says to guard your heart diligently. To be diligent means “to be hard-working, industrious and persevering.”

Why do you have to be so diligent with the Word? Because the devil is diligent with his junk. He is constantly throwing fiery darts at you. He works diligently to make sure the world is surrounding you with fear, sickness, poverty and every other kind of garbage he can use to destroy you. But you can protect your spirit from those things by conditioning yourself to respond to every one of them with the Word of God. Change your routine, and make a decision right now to begin that spiritual conditioning.

Start today and make speaking the Word part of your daily life. Try these confessions today:

  • Father, keep my tongue from evil. Help me to depart from evil, do good, seek peace and pursue it. (1 Peter 3:11)
  • I will walk in wisdom, and my speech will be filled with grace . (Colossians 4:6)
  • I guard what I say and keep myself from trouble. (Proverbs 13:3)
  • I always think about how to answer, even when I am upset. (Proverbs 21:23)
  • I give all my cares and troubles to the Lord. I don’t hold onto them or worry and become troubled. I know He takes care of me.  (Psalm 55:22)
  • I don’t look at or listen to anything that is not pleasing to God. If it is against His Word, I don’t let it into my life. (Psalm 101:3)
  • No matter what people around me say, no matter what the doctor says, I know that I know that I know that I am healed by the blood of Jesus! (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24)
  • I am not under the curse of sickness. I am not under the curse of poverty. I am not under the curse of lack. I am not under the curse of generational mistakes before me. I am not under the curse of strife. I am free, and I am blessed in Jesus’ Name! (Galatians 3:13)
  • I am not friends with the world. I don’t receive what the world has to say about me or my situation. My heart is fixed on the Word of God! (James 4:4)

Speak these words as a part of your daily routine. As you read your Bible each day, locate and highlight more to add to your collection. Then, watch your words, guard your heart and get results!

Waiting to Receive God’s Promises? How to Cultivate a Heart That Receives

How to Remove “Thorns” From Your Heart

The glory of God isn’t just a feeling, an event or an Old Testament experience–it’s a spiritual tsunami of everything contained in the character of God. It has been called the manifested presence of God, but more than just a presence, it’s power. The kind of power that resurrects, delivers, overcomes and transforms. It is greater and stronger than any other power in existence. And it belongs to us.

Maybe you feel like the glory of God is untouchable, unreachable or reserved for special church services. But, the power of God is available to you 24/7–to manifest in your life, your church and your country.

But, if we aren’t expecting to see the glory of God, we probably won’t. Just like anything in the kingdom of God, it takes faith to see a manifestation. The glory of God is a visible power. In the Old Testament, the glory appeared as a cloud, smoke or fire. This visible power is also known as Shekinah glory, which is the Hebrew name given to the presence of God dwelling on the earth.

Can we see physical manifestations of God’s glory today? Yes!

There are countless testimonies of individuals and groups of believers having seen visible evidence of God’s glory. During his preaching days, Brother Kenneth E. Hagin compiled a list of every scripture in the Bible about the glory. When he would read them aloud in a service, the glory would appear like a cloud or a wave, and people would fall on the floor under that power, or rush to the altar to get saved. It is tangible and it is powerful!

You don’t have to wait for a special service to see the glory of God. Begin expecting His glory today by speaking these verses, taken from the New King James Version of the Bible:

John 1:14

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 11:40

Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

Acts 7:2

And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran.”

Deuteronomy 5:24

And you said: “Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire….”

Exodus 24:15-16

Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain. Now the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

Luke 21:27

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Revelation 15:8

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power…

Lord, I thank You that You want my family and me to prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper because we are Your children. I know that as I study, follow, and obey Your Word, I will succeed in all I do. I am like a tree planted along the riverbank, bearing good fruit each season. I know that You give me the power to be successful in all You’ve called me to do. I trust You when You promise to bring sinners’ wealth to me because I know that You receive pleasure when I, Your servant, prosper. I know that You won’t withhold any good thing from me and that Your blessing makes me, the righteous, rich. And I praise You for all You are doing in and through me!

Scripture references: 3 John 2; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 13:22; Psalms 35:27, 84:11; Proverbs 10:22, 13:21

If you are ready to experience a positive change in your blood pressure, there’s good news–“[Jesus] was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Your healing–even from high blood pressure–is at hand. And to help you stand in faith for that healing to come to pass, here are five scriptures on which you can rely. Begin praying, studying and professing these scriptures over yourself several times every day. Let God’s Word change the way you view your health. Because you aren’t waiting for healing; you are already healed!

  • Deuteronomy 28:1, 6: “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today…. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.”
  • Proverbs 3:8: “Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”
  • Psalm 103:3: “He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.”
  • Matthew 18:19: “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.”
  • Mark 11:23: “I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.” 

Each year more than 10 million people battle bronchitis. Inflammation and irritation of a person’s airways can leave the sufferer miserable. If you or a loved one are struggling with bronchitis, then begin confessing these scriptures over yourself immediately.

  • Isaiah 53:5: “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”
  • Psalm 41:3: “The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.”
  • Proverbs 3:8: “Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”

The American Diabetes Association reports that more than 25 million people have been diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes.[1] If you are among the many people standing for your healing, here are seven scriptures for you to stand against diabetes.

  • Isaiah 53:5: “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”
  • Deuteronomy 28:1, 6: “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today…. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.”
  • Psalm 41:3: “The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.”
  • Psalm 103:3: “He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.”
  • Proverbs 3:8: “Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.”
  • Jeremiah 30:17: “‘I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,’ says the Lord.”
  • 1 Peter 2:24: “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.”

Take these scriptures just as you would any other medicine. Print them out, post them where you can see them throughout your day. Don’t stop repeating, thinking about and praying these scriptures over your body until you are completely symptom-free. And when that day comes, please contact the KCM Prayer Department so we can rejoice with you!

Single parent, God loves you! Do you know that? Are you secure in that today? If you need a mental and spiritual pick-me-up in the Word, take a moment to meditate on these scriptures from your heavenly Parent, and remember who you are, who He is, and just how much He loves you:

  1. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'” -Jeremiah 29:11
  2. “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.” -Titus 3:4-5
  3. “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
    -Isaiah 41:10, NIV
  4. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” -Hebrews 13:8
  5. “‘Your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,   the God of all the earth. For the Lord has called you back from your grief–as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,’ says your God…. ‘with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,’ says the Lord, your Redeemer.” -Isaiah 54:5-8
  6. “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”
    -Psalm 68:5, NIV
  7. “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” -Philippians 4:13
  8.  “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

Take a moment to speak these scriptures out loud. Remind yourself to whom you belong and what He has already accomplished in your life. Then claim–or take–this Word for yourself. Trust that God who began a good work in your life will indeed complete it (Philippians 1:6)!

“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” Proverbs 18:21

The words we speak have power. They can bring life or death. They can build up or tear down. They can empower or destroy. Whether they are the words we speak to one another or the ones we think about ourselves, words make a difference. Right now, let’s look at three ways the words we speak impact our lives.

1.The words we speak are our profession.

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.” -Hebrews 3:1-2, KJV

This passage refers to Jesus as the “Apostle and High Priest of our profession.” The word profession can also be translated confession. In the Greek, it means to “say the same thing.” We are responsible to say the same thing that Jesus says. Then He, as our Apostle and High Priest, is responsible to bring it to pass. When we speak words of life that line up with God’s Word, we are trusting Jesus to bring them to pass, and that’s exactly what He will do!

2.The words we speak are our protection.

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.” -Psalm 91:1-2

We serve an awe-inspiring God who is above everything. He’s above every calamity, every illness, every stronghold and every attack of the enemy. And just as Psalm 91 shows us, we’re to proclaim His protection and goodness. We’re to exalt Him, not our adversities. When the enemy strikes, we have a choice: We can either declare the truth that God is on our side and we will never lose, or we can continue to believe the lie that we’re going under. And whatever we set our mind to is what we will receive. If you want God’s goodness, healing, peace, joy and healthy relationships, then begin to proclaiming those things. Remember, you “will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty”!

3.The words we speak are our privilege!

“And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” -Matthew 12:36-37

When we speak words of doubt and unbelief, we are sinning against God. That sounds extreme, doesn’t it? But if we speak words that are contrary to God’s Word or if we speak words that proclaim that God is something He isn’t, then it is sin. God’s Word tells us that we are joint heirs with Jesus (Romans 8:17), overcomers (1 John 5:4), healed (Isaiah 53:5), joyful (Psalm 28:7) and prosperous (Philippians 4:19). It is our privilege to not only walk in this truth but to announce it for others to hear. Giving glory to God for all that we have is a powerful part of living thankful lives. We are acknowledging that it isn’t through our human strength but by the power of Jesus that we walk in freedom. It is also a declaration that what we say is the truth, and that truth affects change!

The words you speak are important. They hold life within them. If this is an area of weakness for you, then challenge yourself. Commit to changing your life by changing the words you speak. First, ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen, convict and comfort you when you speak words that are contrary to God. Then begin meditating on His Word and declaring their truth over your life. Let God’s Word change you from the inside out. When you do, you will–without a doubt–walk in all God has for you!

God’s favor is yours! It’s true. As a child of God, you have His favor surrounding you everywhere you go, in every area of life. All you have to do is receive it. Here are five Word-based confessions to help you receive God’s favor in your life:

Psalm 5:12, NKJV

“For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.”

Confession

“God, You encompass me with favor like a shield. Everywhere I go, in everything I do, I am favored by You!”

2 Chronicles 16:9, KJV

“The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him….”

Confession

“Lord, here I am. I put my trust in You and know that you will keep Your Word and show Yourself strong on my behalf.”

Psalm 90:17 KJV

“Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.”

Confession

“Lord, I thank You that Your beauty, Your favor, is upon me and it establishes the work of my hands. Because of Your favor, my work succeeds.

Psalm 84:11

“The Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”

Confession

“Thank You, Lord, for the grace and glory that You give to me. You have withheld nothing good from me as I live a life that is pleasing to You.”

James 1:17

“Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.”

Confession

Everything good and perfect in my life comes from You, Lord. You, who are full of wisdom and grace, never change, and I praise You in all I do.

Make these confessions part of your daily communion with God. Begin to confess the truth of His Word and apply it to your life. And if you need help understanding God’s favor even more, be sure to read Gloria Copeland’s article, “God’s Favor Will Change Your Life!” Embrace God’s favor and grace in everything you do! 

God cares about your finances! Sound surprising? Did you know that there are more than 2,000 verses in the Bible that deal with financial issues like money, greed, stewardship, debt, hard work, contentment, provision, investments and more? Just as with anything else, you should approach your finances in faith, believing that your heavenly Father will be true to His Word. And part of approaching your finances in faith involves the way you think and speak about them. If you constantly focus on your lack of money, complain about your financial outlook, and doubt that God will be faithful to His Word, then you will receive exactly what you expect. However, if instead, you proclaim God’s goodness, thank Him for His provision and expect Him to be faithful to His Word, you will receive the provision from Him that you expect.

But I have no idea what to say about my finances, you might think.

Well, we’ve got you covered. Here are four biblically based miniconfessions to speak over your financial life:

1. More Than Enough

“God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, ‘They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever'” (2 Corinthians 9:8-9, NLT).

Confession: God, I thank You that You generously provide everything I need. In fact, I thank You that according to Your Word, I have more than enough so that I can share my extra with those in need. And every time this occurs, I’ll remember and proclaim Your faithfulness.

2. Every Need Covered

“My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19, KJV)

Confession: Lord, You know the needs I have even better than I do. I trust You with every part of my life, including my finances. I stand in faith for Your Word to come to pass that all my needs are met according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. And I thank You for it!

3. Provision by His Power

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life–whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need” (Matthew 6:25-33, NLT).

Confession: Heavenly Father, I know You care for me. I know You love me. Your Word tells me that I am more valuable to You than the birds or the wildflowers. I trust and focus on that Word and on You. You know the needs that I have for basic necessities, and I trust that You are meeting those needs right now. I will continue to thank You that those needs are met and that You will provide for me and my family every day of our lives.

4. Overcoming Debt

“Owe nothing to anyone–except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law” (Romans 13:8, NLT).

Confession: Lord, I stand in faith for all my debts to be paid in full so that I may owe nothing except to love others. I understand that I cannot accomplish that on my own, but I know You can make that possible. And I trust You to do it.

Right now, begin proclaiming the Lord’s provision in your life. Whether you need a new job, a boost in your income, your debts paid off or some other need met, begin proclaiming the faithfulness and trustworthiness of the Lord and His Word. And when your financial miracle occurs, be sure to share it with us by email, on Facebook or on the Believers’ Academy forum. We want to celebrate God’s faithfulness with you!

Are you struggling with keeping your peace when it comes to your children? Or do you find yourself constantly fighting thoughts of fear concerning their spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and social well-being? If so, here are 10 scriptures from the New Living Translation (except as noted) and confessions that will bring you peace and help you remember just how loved you and they are by your heavenly Father.

  1. God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, KJV).

    Confession: Father, I thank You that You have not given me nor my children a spirit of fear. Instead, by the blood of Jesus, we have a spirit of power, love and a sound mind.

  2. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8).

    Confession: Father, I commit to focus on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable about my children. I won’t dwell on anything but that which is excellent and worthy of praise where they are concerned.

  3. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done (Philippians 4:6).

    Confession: God, I trust You and I thank You for all you have done in my children’s lives. I refuse to worry about my kids. Instead, I will pray and believe You will take care of them.

  4. What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us (Romans 8:31)?

    Confession: Father, I thank You that, according to Your Word, You are for, not against, my children.

  5. The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).

    Confession: Thank You, Lord, that Your love for my children never ends. Your mercies for them never cease. I know and trust that You are continually faithful to them.

  6. We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago (Ephesian 2:10).

    Confession: Heavenly Father, thank You that my children are Your masterpieces. They are Your children and I believe You have good things planned for them.

  7. Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection (Psalm 91:1-4).

    Confession: Thank You, Lord, that my children rest in Your shadow. You are their refuge and place of safety. I trust You will rescue them from every trap and protect them spirit, mind and body. I believe this because You are faithful to Your promises.

  8. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent (2 Peter 3:9).

    Confession: Lord, I thank You that are faithful to Your promises concerning my children. I trust that You are drawing them to You.

  9. “I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

    Confession: Thank You, God, that You have good plans for my children, plans that give them a future and hope. I praise You for all You do in their lives.

  10. I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns (Philippians 1:6).

    Confession: Father, I praise You for the work You are doing in my children’s lives. I trust that You will continue that work until You complete all You desire to do in their lives.

Begin standing in faith on these scriptures and proclaiming these confessions over your children. Trust God to keep His Word concerning your children, and thank Him for all He is doing in their lives!

If you do,’ says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, ‘I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!'”

Heavenly Father, I trust You with all I have this year and every year because I know that You are the reason for every blessing in my life.

10. Jeremiah 17:7-8: “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.”
