POWER IN YOUR WORDS part three

When I talk about seeing, I am not talking about seeing with your physical eyes. Your physical eyes cannot believe. You are a spirit and you live in a body and you have a soul. There is another set of eyes inside of you and it is called the eyes of your understanding (Ephesians 1:18). That is the eyes that must see, that is the eyes that can believe. “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye ,may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come”- Ephesians 1:18-21. The Lord wants you to see yourself like you are in the spirit. We win, we succeed, we overcome by our spirit not by our physical might.

Apostle Paul asked a question in the book of 2nd Corinthians 10:7, “Do ye look on things after the outward apperance?...” Do you evaluate things based on what you can see with your optical eyes? We don’t look on things based on what we can see with the optical eyes; we look on things based on what the word of God says. In 2nd Corinthians 10:3-5 the Bible says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not canal, but might through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into the captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” If the eyes of your imagination is closed, that destiny is closed. You’ve to see yourself through scriptures with the eyes of your imagination. As you see yourself through scriptures that is what you become and when you speak it, it sticks and that is who you’ll become. What you see in your imagination is what your life turns out to be. This is the reason things are not working in the life of many people, no matter how you pray for them nothing changes because they see themselves already defeated.

You must learn to train yourself and trust God. Never doubting but standing firm on your ground until what you are believing God for happens. Doubt is the enemy that you need to deal with for you to be successful. What is doubt? How do I know that I am doubting or believing? Jesus said in the book of Matthew 14:31, “And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Peter doubted, what did Peter do to express his doubt? Matthew 14:25-30, “And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, it is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.” The first ingredient of doubt, is walking by your sight. Have you ever seen wind in your life? Have you ever seen sickness? Have you ever seen poverty in your life? Peter didn’t see wind, he only saw what the wind was doing. You don’t see fever, you only see what the fever is doing. You don’t see poverty, you only see what the poverty is doing. What you feel, see or hear paints a picture in your mind. What the devil does is to create a shaking and your mind begins to paint a picture, then your imagination picks it up. That is the fight of faith, to either see the picture the devil paints or the picture that God paints in His word. Which do you believe? If you believe the picture that the boisterous wind paints like Peter and you begin to say it, you begin to sink. Walking by your sight, walking by your feeling is the description of doubt. The second description of doubt is being afraid, “But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid...” – Matthew 14:30. Any where there is faith, there is no fear. In the book of 1st Timothy 6:12 the Bible says, “Fight the good fight of faith..." What is the good fight of faith? It is to fight your doubt. Fight the fight of faith, put the word in your mouth, don’t change it, don’t doubt.

God bless you. See you next month.
