Power

God is good and as we increase in grace, we come to know His goodness. To enjoy God's freely given promises, we need knowledge and the rhema of God - the spoken word from scripture for the present moment (1 Corinthians 3:21).

You have control over your own life and destiny, so it's important to speak the Word over yourself and not just rely on having a Bible nearby. The power of the Word comes from it being alive in you, so make sure to declare it over your life to deal with any situation.

We've been made kings and priests! We already know about our [priestly ministry](https://www.rhemafromgod.com/the-intercessory-prayer). So in this very message, we're going to have a look at our rights as kings.

I love the story of the centurion, whose servant Jesus healed. Bible records that, "And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

There was also another instance where a leper asked Jesus to heal him if it was His will: "And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name" (Psalm 100:4). We must approach God with a joyful heart and thanksgiving.

"A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth..." (Proverbs 12:14). The Bible draws an undeniable connection between our faith and the words we speak.

Joel 3:10 says '...let the weak say, I am strong', which is an Old Testament preview of the concept of 'calling those things that be not as though they were' (Romans 4:17). God lives by calling things out of nothing; that's how we ought to live.

"Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses" (1 Timothy 6:12 NASV). Thank God we are born again!

Thank God for the gift of the Holy Spirit Who lives in our hearts forever (John 14:16). I rejoice knowing that I am a partaker of His life and nature (2 Peter 1:4). He gave me the life that makes all the difference.

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18).

Never give in to what people say about you. For example, during Jesus' days, He was always accused by the scribe and Pharisees for doing wrong. The Pharisees charged Jesus and His disciples for breaking the sabbath.

"Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:11). Jesus came to bring us into glory.

When Jacob asked his mother what would happen if he got cursed, the mother said, "I will receive the curse instead of you." Bible says, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree"" (Galatians 3:13).

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). The first day you received and confessed Jesus Christ as the Lord over your life you became a new type of man.

There's no need running around seeking deliverance from sin or from the devil; you've been delivered already (Colossians 1:13). It's your responsibility not to allow yourself become entangled by any yoke of bondage.

Beloved, learn to rest assured in the promises of God for "without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

Over the years, tongues speaking has been one of the hot topics in Christianity. Well, I want to share something really important with you, as far as tongues speaking is concerned.

So how does speaking in tongues operate? In order to answer this question properly, we must look at the fact that the Bible describes three different manifestations of speaking in tongues...

I have spoken so much about the Gift of Tongues but you may as well ask: if it is God's will for all Christians to speak in tongues, then why do some have trouble receiving their prayer languages?
