* Speak those things that are not as though they were (Ro. 4:17)
Speak to what has not yet become what it is supposed to be.
* When you pray your desires, believe
and you shall have them (Mark 11:24)
Communicate to God what you want in faith and you shall have them.
* God spoke by faith and God saw what He said (Gen 1 & Heb. 11:3)
God spoke to nothing and His faith in His Word caused something to appear.
* Speak the Word only (Mat. 8:8)
You cannot afford to say or decree anything but the Word.
* When you pray, say: Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done (Matt. 6:9-10)
Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is defined as His will which is made known in His Word, and that we are to pray what His will/Word is.
* You overcome the devil by
and the Word of your testimony (Rev. 12:11)
Your victory over Satan and his strategies will be given to you thru you testifying and stating the Word of God.
* Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Pro. 18:21)
Your words have the power to destroy and to resurrect.
* Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matt. 16:19)
Your words have the power to withhold and the power to release things that have been tied up.
I certainly do not believe God answers all prayers in the affirmative or as we would expect, but we can be certain He wants us to ask and to believe.
