    Faith Confession:

    Thank You Lord that the devil is a powerless, defeated foe! And, in Christ Jesus I am victorious! I am not movedby overwhelming feelings or past failures because God is bigger and more powerful than anything and everything

    Ive ever been through. I walk in the promises God has for me and my mind is transformed by His Word.

    I command all strongholds to bend their knee to the authority of Jesus Christ! No matter what my situation looks

    like, I choose to believe Gods truth and tear down the devils lies. I am not defeated! I have set my hope in Jesus

    and by faith I walk in OVERWHELMING VICTORY!

    (Colossians 2:13-15, I Corinthians 15:57, I John 4:4, Romans 12:2, II Corinthians 10:3-5, II Corinthians 1:10-11, I

    John 5:4 Romans 8:37 NLT)

    Remember: In order to get faith to work for you, you must bring your conversation, your thinking, and your

    believing in line with your faith! Let your FAITH be so loud that you won't be able to hear what doubt is trying tosay! It is written: I believed; therefore I have spoken. Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also

    believe and therefore speak!! (2 Corinthians 4:13 NIV) Start declaring over your life what the scriptures

    have already spoken...."All my needs are met; No weapon formed against me shall prosper; I have

    favor with God and man; I am strong; I am healed; I have abundance and no lack." etc. When you

    believe and speak those words, you are blessing yourself and those words will come back to you

    manifested!FAITH SPEAKS!

    Contentment

    "Godliness with

    contentment is great

    gain."

    1 Timothy 6:6

    I am a woman that loves to plan. Many people who know me often make fun of my many

    planners and my ability to schedule away the day! lol! But in this season of my life God

    has been dealing with me about giving up my agenda/plans and following His. Proverbs

    19:21 NLT says, "You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail." This

    summer God said, "I'm interrupting your plans, for my purpose." Little did I know that

    this interruption would be at times very difficult and uncomfortable, but ultimately joyful

    because it was and is the will of God for my life.

    Word for this season: Contentment

    In this season, I'm learning to be content. I'm learning to embrace my place. I'm learning

    to bloom where I am planted. I'm learning to let God have complete and full control and

    to follow Him no matter what! It is definitely a processand if you are like me and

    are experiencing the same thing..you know exactly what I mean. In Philippians Ch. 4,

    we read about being content with what we have. But my favorite scripture on contentment

    is 1 Timothy 6:6, "But godliness with contentment is great gain."

    Formula of the day: Godliness + Contentment = GREAT GAIN

    Prayer

    Recently Ive been studying about prayer. I believe

    that prayer is a very important thing when it comes

    to the life of a blood bought believer. I also believe

    that effective prayer will destroy the devil'skingdom of darkness and release the ability of God

    in the earth! I also believe that prayer is a key to

    heaven's storehouse, but FAITH unlocks the door.

    What Ive learned is that a prayer without faith is

    like a key without a hand to turn it! Hebrews 11:6

    tells us what pleases God..and that is FAITH!

    And then we read 1 John 5:14-15, and we find some

    great truths about prayer. This is the confidence

    we have in approaching God: that if we ask

    anything according to his will, he hears us. And if

    we know that he hears uswhatever we askweknow that we have what we asked of him. Then we

    read James 1:6-8, "let him ask in FAITH,

    nothing wavering. For he thatwavereth is like awave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

    For let not that man think that heshall receive anything of the Lord. A double-minded man is unstable

    inall hisways!" Now for another witness let's goto Mark 11:23-24, "I tell you the truth, you can say

    to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown

    into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must

    really believe it will happen and have no doubt in

    your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything,and if you believe that you've received it, it will be

    yours." Now, let me be honest, since I've been

    studying about prayer and allowing the Lord to

    pour into me, I have noticed some things about

    myself. Often times, I have prayed in fear and not

    in faith. How do I know that I prayed in fear and

    not in faith? By my actions. I was still fearful, still

    worrying, still losing sleep some nights..basically

    I was a doubleminded woman (James 1:6-8).Maybe you can relate..t

    Friend, today we are going to discuss prayer.thepower of it.andthe results thatcome from itwhen mixed with faith (confidence) in God and His

    Word!

    First of all, we need to determine what is the will of

    God. I have heard many pastors (Pastor Creflo

    Dollar, Pastor Kenneth Hagin, and Pastor Bill

    Winston) that I listen to say this and I completely

    "I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've

    received it, it will be yours

    Mark 11:24 NLT

    (Continued)

    agree: "Faith begins where the

    will of God is known." The will of

    God is the Word of God. The

    bible says, "Faith comes byhearing and hearing by the Word

    of God." (Romans 10:17) Many

    times we are not confident about

    what we are praying for because

    we don't know if it is in the Word

    of God. The bottom line is that if

    you don't have the Word of God

    on the subject you won't be

    confident and have faith when

    you pray. This is why we must

    not just merely get into God'sword---but we need to allow His

    word to get into us. Remember:

    the Word of God in YOU makes

    you armed and dangerous. The

    more Word.....the more FAITH.

    Less Word.......less faith. Prayer

    gets its power from faith,andfaith works by love. Faith makes

    prayer work. This is why James

    5:15 says, "And the prayer of

    faith shall save the sick, and theLord shall raise him up." The

    prayer of faith shall.....not of

    fear, doubt, and unbelief. This is

    why we must pray in faith and

    then rest in the Lord. This is why

    when we pray, wemust believethat we receive right then and

    right there. If we believe that we

    receive when wepray....themanifestation WILL COME!

    Many of us saythat webelievethat we received already what we

    have prayed for, but our daily

    conversations and actions do not

    back up what we believed we

    received. The key to answered

    prayer is to speak and act in

    agreement with your prayers

    daily. We must control the words

    that come out of our mouths and

    we must be doers of the Word

    and not just hearers! When you

    believe that you received it....youare going to act as though you

    already have it. Maybe, like me

    you're believing God for a

    particular degree (or many

    lol).....say it is to be a nurse, a

    lawyer, a teacher, or a

    doctor....you should act as though

    you already are one. It's just like

    when God changed Abrams

    name to Abraham. Abraham

    means a father of many nations.Had it manifested yet? Nope. But

    was he the father of many

    nations? You betcha! How?

    Because God said so! Every time

    someone called him by his named

    they were speaking inagreementwith what God had already said.

    And get this, every time

    Abraham answered when

    someone called his name.......he

    was acting in agreement withwhat God had said. What are you

    answering to? What are you

    responding to? Is your

    conversation in line with what

    you have prayed andbelievedfor? It is imperative for you to

    believe God, and then ACT like

    you believe!

    Second, we must learn to be

    specific and accurate inprayer.Pray what you desire (Mark

    11:24). Don't pray the problem!

    Pray and speak the answer; cast

    the problem over to God! Many

    times I would find myself praying

    the problem over and over again

    Also, I would find myself asking

    God over and over again to do

    "it".........INSTEAD of believingthat I received..........I would kee

    on asking as if I did not receive

    it! I did not have persistent faith

    persistent faith means faith that

    asks God once, and then stands

    it's ground until it is manifested

    It is not moved by whats going

    on or by overwhelming emotion

    and feelings. True faith asks and

    receives....because it is FAITH

    that receives from God! Thetruth is, if you want to change

    your circumstances or if you

    desire something, you must have

    faith in two places: in your hear

    and in your mouth!
