One good tip I learned with speaking life and Truth, is to take about ten minutes in the morning and find three scriptures each for different topics and pray them out loud over your life.
Like for strength to pray Philippians 4:13. "Lord God, thank You that Your Word says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am calling this to my rememberance in order to stand on this promise that You will give me the strength in order to handle anything that comes my way today."
My pastor spoke on this recently and I really want to start doing this. I know the Word, I really do. But to KNOW the Word is hearing it. It is applying it. This is what the spiritual armor is about. It is about using truth, peace, faith, and righteousness by the power of Holy Spirit and our saving grace to defeat temptations, anxieties, depression, and spiritual forces of darkness. And I sort of feel like the biggest hypocrite right now speaking this, because I've been so lazy. I do speak Word a lot on the forums and love the Word. But as far as using it in the time/seasons I need to, it is almost as if my mind is cluttered and I get distracted with so many things. I want to be confident in the Word so whenever I do walk in darkness, I can be confident I won't break apart, because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I'm farther along then I was and grateful for my new church. Not that my old church wasn't teaching these things, but it clicks more here. These charismatic churches are on fire for Christ and the Word! It is catching. Just like amigo de Christo. That excitement and passion is CATCHING. It is so simple to just jump up and praise the Lord, but how often with the darkness do we? I know I have a lot to say and more like writing what is on my mind, but I'm excited about the belt of Truth tonight and how there is power in the Word of God- His Truth.
Just tonight I was getting anxious again. It isn't that subjects should be avoided if there is something important about it. It is learning to pray about it, take it a bit at a time, and using the Gos-PILL. Problem, anxiety. Remedy? Meditating on anxiety verses. Speaking them out loud. Personifying it. Lord God, let me be not anxious for anything, thank You for listening to my prayers. I claim the peace of mind that surpasses all understanding to guard my heart and mind being in Christ Jesus.
Truth heals. Truth saves. Truth delivers. Do you believe this?
