The Best in America Is Yet To Come!

Today's Lesson: The Best in America Is Yet To Come!
THE ABCs of FAITH 33

How To Turn Your Faith Loose, part 6

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23


We will see better days in America! But we must rise up and take dominion over the works of evil in our country by the power of the spoken word. Always remember; "Jesus said, you can have what you say!"

We said yesterday that the Church is the solution to America's problems. But, preachers for the most part are not putting the emphasis where God has put it; on the Word. The Word will grow mightily and prevail when we honor the Word properly. This must start in the Church, not the world.
Note in the following verses that the believers confessed and it started a revival! (See our youtube video on 4 types of confession).

18 Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices. 19 And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing. Acts 19: 18-20 NASB

THE PREVAILING WORD
The Word of God when spoken from a pure heart in faith has the capacity to prevail in this planet and this universe. Words are designed by God to be spoken by the human so that they release power in the earth. The Word of God is the supreme Word in the universe. What God has said has (His Word) His power in it. This power is what we call faith. That's why faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Words are containers. They can contain love or hatred; faith or fear; compassion or contention, victory or defeat. To see better days in our country, better words must be spoken. Here is a secret; Washington, DC is not the answer. The Word of God is! Pray for our leaders in DC and speak the Word over America. That's what I am doing.
Words are the key to dominion.
Words have creative power.
Words are the source of creation.
The enemy has deceived the Church in America by getting us to speak his words instead of the Word of God. The key to better days in America is the Church of Jesus Christ rising up and taking the authority if the believer and confessing/speaking the Word.


AMERICA WILL PROSPER AGAIN!

I was talking to an older gentleman in Gainesville, Georgia this week and he said; "We will never see prosperity in this nation again, the best days for this country have come and gone." The more we talked the more I sensed that his political thinking shaped his point of view. We as believers particularly must be careful that we don't allow our political agendas to cause us to speak cursing over our country. It is God's greatest desire to see America prosper. Let me explain what I mean by our political agenda; When we start using " fear " as the primary motivator we are in trouble (I am talking to Christians, we can't control everything the world will say...). When we say, "our political leaders are going to run this country to the poor house" we are helping the devil destroy our country. Does that make sense? We need to stop speaking fear and start trusting God. The Bible says the heart of the king (President) is in the hand of the Lord.

Proverbs 21:1 (New King James Version)
1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,
Like the rivers of water;
He turns it wherever He wishes.


Make this your confession: "The heart of our President is in the hand of the LORD and the Lord can turn it whereever he wishes!"
That's is much better than saying we have Hitler in the White House and Islam is taking over and we are all going down with him. I am not minimizing the threat that Islam brings, but dwelling on the problem won't solve it. Speaking the Word will.
Do what you like but I am not going down! I can't go under for going over is my positive confession!
I heard a wife say to her husband; "we are going to lose everything we have!" When it came to pass she said; "I told you this was going to happen, and it happened just like I said it would. She was bragging that she had prophesied the destruction of the family finances. The same thing has been happening in our country. In psychology we call this the "Self-Fulfilling Prophecy."
HELLO folks, it's time for the family of God to wake up!!!

IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!
There is no excuse for the spiritual weakness and spiritual poverty of the Family of God when the wealth of Grace and Love of our great Father with His power and wisdom are all at our disposal. We are not coming to the Father as a tramp coming to the door begging for food; begging for better economic conditions; begging for a handout. We come as sons and daughters claiming our legal rights in love. No one can hinder us if we claim our rights and release our faith by the spoken word. When we realize the great need of the unsaved world and know that need can only be met by the great heart of the Father operating through the Church, it stirs us to be a blessing to a needy world. Please hear me; "God cannot touch America today except through the Church." It is His only mediator, and if the Church fails to assume its obligation then the hand of God is limited in the earth. God's hands are paralyzed. We can limit God's movement in our lives and country by words. Israel did it!


Psalm 78:41 (King James Version)
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.


Why hasn't God done more in our economic and national crisis? because "words have been spoken" to limit the Holy Ones and set this country off course. Some of us are no longer going to stand for this. We are rising up with faith to see the Word grow mightily and prevail in our country! We can change this nation person-by-person, family-by-family. Stop destroying your wealth, your health, your inheritance and country with words.
The Best in America Is Yet To Come!

Live well, Live blessed,
