MARCH 28

If you are to speak God’s Word in a new dimension of authority, then you must spend time with Jesus Christ, the Living Word. Wait upon Him for His direction concerning what you are to say and do each day. Allow the powerful resurrection life that is within Him to flow through your entire being. Draw your life from Him. It is the life contained within the written Word that will quicken you and empower you to go beyond your own human limitations.

Get into the Word of God and fill your heart and mind with it until it comes alive within you. Jesus said that if we are vitally united to Him and His Words are our hearts, then we can ask anything and it will be done: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7).

Life and death are in the power of your tongue. As you bring your tongue under control of the Holy Spirit and enter into a new dimension of spiritual authority, you will be able to successfully confront the enemy. By speaking God’s Word in every situation, you will destroy the strongholds of the enemy through the power of the Holy Spirit.

By the words coming out of your mouth, you will demolish every barrier, every obstacle, and every work of the enemy that is blocking you from taking possession of God’s promises. As you speak the specific Word that God directs you to speak, it will be a mighty, indestructible weapon in your mouth that will force the enemy to retreat from your life and circumstances.

You are no longer on the defensive, running, afraid, and intimidated by Satan. God has given you the same anointing of the Holy Spirit that was upon Christ. Through the Holy Spirit you have the same power and authority that Jesus has over all the power of the enemy. You have the Living Word within you and God has given you the eternal, all-powerful, living, infallible Word to speak forth. Through it, you will be able to tear down Satan’s strongholds and fulfill the purposes of God upon the earth.

The Word has not changed since the day God spoke the worlds into existence. “Forever, oh Lord, thy Word is settled in Heaven” (Psalm 119:89). The Word of God is not the product of time, but eternity. It is everlasting and unchanging. The Word of God in your mouth today is the same Word Jesus spoke when He opened blind eyes, healed the lame, and cast out devils. The Word of God in your mouth cannot be destroyed, cannot be defeated, and cannot be bound!

Before you finish your quiet time, select several scriptures that apply to the challenges you are facing today and then declare this Word over your circumstances. Instead of words of defeat, speak the victorious Word of God to your need.
