Many things the Father has brought to Light in the last several decades has been lost to the Church, because of tradition and deception. Many things have been misused, misunderstood and invalidated, because of tradition and deception. The message about the power of believer's words, has been misused and misunderstood in the Church, to where we think they're only a means of communication, instead of creativity. We can see the power of spoken Words, when we go to God's Word. God spoke the entire planet and universe into existence and they're still ruled by Words. Man's words have fashioned great outlines for our conduct, in such documents as the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Geneva Convention.
Words start wars, change nations, destroy or build and are still the most powerful force outside of the Holy Spirit, on this planet. In all of God's creation, only mankind has the ability to speak, because he is made in God's Image and Likeness. God's Word begins with the Words that create. We know that Jesus is the Word, according to John 1:1-5 (Amplified) which says, "In the beginning (before all time), was the Word, Christ, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He (the Word) was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him, and without Him, was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men."
The above scriptures tell us how very important words are and should be more than enough to give us understanding. Many have misused this Revelation, so we shouldn't simply accept another person's words as being the "end all," without going to God's Word for ourselves. We can miss the Truth of God's Word, when we accept popular opinion of the day. Different denominations believe different things, but we need Bible belief.
Some believe that it's "prideful" to say "We are the righteousness of God." It's not pride, but is Truth. Jesus didn't walk in pride, when He said that, "The Father and I are One." He was speaking Truth. I realize there's a place where we can go wrong on this, but the Holy Spirit will keep you and teach you all things. When you say, "I'm not righteous," then you're speaking against God's Word and the Truth. When you say, "God doesn't do these things any longer," you're closing yourself from the Truth of God's Word and causing it to not work in your life. Jesus taught us to "Believe and have faith in God."
Healing has not passed away today and neither has the speaking in tongues. Mark 11:22-23 (Amplified) says, "And Jesus said unto them, Have faith in God, constantly. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him."
If you truly believe in your heart and continue saying that "Tongues aren't for today," then Jesus said in the above scripture that you will have what you believe and say. If you truly believe in your heart and continue saying that, "Healing isn't for today," then you will have what you say and believe. Our unbelief and confessions have stopped many of the things the Father has sent to us, from ever getting to us. Our words don't only work for the positive, but also in the negative.
Romans 10:9 tells us that, "If we believe in our heart and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, then we will be saved." Are you saved is you don't believe and confess Jesus as your Lord? we must believe and confess God's Word, in order to speak our salvation. We haven't had a faith problem, but an unbelief problem. You have faith if you've received Jesus as your Lord, because you must have faith to believe that. We've been saved by Grace, through faith, according to Ephesians 2:8 (Amplified) which says, "For it is by free Grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved, delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation, through your faith. And this salvation is not of yourselves (of your own doing, it came not through your own striving), but it is the Gift of God."
John 3:16 (Amplified) tells us, "For God so Loved the world that He sent His Only Begotten Son so that whosoever would believe in Him, should not perish but have Ever Lasting Life." We know this is God's will for humanity, but what if you don't believe? Are you still saved? God sent Jesus to Calvary's Cross, so we should be saved, redeemed, healed, filled with the Holy Spirit, made Righteous and made sons and daughter of God and joint heirs with Christ. God's Word tells us this, but what if you don't believe and accept them? Is God's Word still True?
God has offered all this to His people, but it still must be received. We say, "If God wants me to have it, then He will do it." Does God want everyone to be saved? Why doesn't He then, just DO IT? You must believe and accept God's Promises by faith and speak out your salvation (speak the Truth in agreement with God). You can't speak directly opposition against God's Word and still receive and believe His Truth.
God speaks about believing and speaking in Proverbs 4:20-24 (Amplified) saying, "My Son, attend to My Word, consent and submit to My sayings Let them not depart from your sight, keep them in the center of your heart. For they are Life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of Life. Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you."
What is false and dishonest and willful and contrary talk? Whatever is contrary to what God has said!. If God says that, "The Word (Jesus) is healing and health to all your flesh," then is this True? Of course it is. We must line our words up with God's Word and have faith in what He says, so He can bring it to pass in our lives. Speaking contrary to the Truth of God's Word, will bind God from bringing it to pass in your life. Do you believe that what you say will come to pass? Jesus says we musts change the words we speak, which are contrary to God's Truth. We must line up our words, with His Words, accepting and believing His Truth. Jesus said in John 6:63 (Amplified), "It is the Spirit Who gives Life (He is the Life Giver); the flesh conveys no benefit whatever (there is no profit in it). The Words (Truths) that I have been speaking to you are Spirit and Life."
This isn't teaching the "Name it and claim it" teaching. This is Biblical Truth from God's Own Word, that is enforced by the Holy Spirit. The concept of "Name it and claim it,' came from people who were ruled by the flesh and who refused to believe what God has said. They've limited the Holy One of Israel, like those in the Wilderness did in Numbers 14:1-35. God led them out from under Egypt's bondage, as a cloud by day and fire by night. God provided food and water for them, when there wasn't any. They though, wouldn't enter into God's Rest and His Promised Land, because they were unwilling to adhere to, trust in and rely on God. Unbelief had shut them out and they died in the Wilderness.
