We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak
- 2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)
Speaking faith-filled words release faith. Speak fear-filled words and they will produce fear. Questions like “What are we going to do?” “How are we going to make this payment?” produce fear. When you respond incorrectly to fear, you allow Satan to steal the Word of God from you. Every time you say such things, you are opening the door for the devil to speak to your carnal mind.
The Scriptures encourage us to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and to bring every thought into the obedience of Christ. We should accept no thought that will open the door to the enemy.
Refusing to accept wrong thoughts is vital if you desire to walk in God’s provisions. We should accept no thought that questions God’s ability to provide what we need for life and well-being. The thoughts we accept are important because the human spirit is designed to produce in like kind from the seed you plant in your heart. If you plant thoughts based on worry, your spirit will produce or, in fact, lead you to the very thing you fear. Even Job found that to be true: “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me” (Job 3:25).
Satan is very limited in what he can do unless he can get you into fear. Fear brings evil and darkness to the scene. Faith brings God's supernatural power to the scene; therefore, do not accept anxious thoughts, speak out in faith and enjoy God’s supernatural provisions.
Beloved, cast down fear; then speak out to enjoy the victory Jesus has already won for you! Hallelujah!
