Words are the most powerful things in the universe! The words you speak will either put you over in life or hold you in bondage. Many peope have been held captive in their circumstances by their own words. The absence of God's Word in your life will rob you of faith in His ability. Recieve from God! Put yourself in a position to recieve God's best for you by speaking His Word. God's creative power is still just as it was in the beginning of time when he stood there and said, "Light-be," and light was. His Word spoken from your mouth and conceived in your heart become a spiritual force releasing His ability within you. Creative power in you! Man was created in the image of God and His likeness. Learn to speak His faith-filled words to your situation and see your life transformed. Allow God's creative power to flow from you. "I have told my people they can have what they say, but my people are saying what they have."
As a young preacher, Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin asked himself this question. He studied the subject and concluded the following: "We as a Church have authority on the earth that we've never yet realized... A few of us have barely gotten to the edge of that authority, but before Jesus comes again, there's going to be a whole company of believers who will rise up with the authority that is theirs. They will know what is theirs, and they will do the work that God intended they should do." During the past 30 years, over a million readers have been blessed by this classic faith-building message by Rev. Hagin. In his clear and illustrative style, he uses the Word of God to explain the authority that belongs to every believer.
If you're not daring to believe god for the impossible, you may be sleeping through some of the best parts of your Christian Life.
"This book is not a Snuggie. The words on these pages will not go down like Ambien. I’m not writing to calm or coddle you. With God’s help, I intend to incite a riot in your mind. Trip your breakers and turn out the lights in your favorite hiding places of insecurity and fear. Then flip the switch back on so that God’s truth can illuminate the divine destiny that may have been lying dormant inside you for years.
