What medicine do you take everyday?  I'm sure some of you take your daily vitamins every day.  Others might never take a pill until they get sick.  If you took a poll the people who take their pills on a daily basis more than likely get sick less than those who only take them once they get sick.  Now of course it is good to take your daily medicine but are you taking your spiritual medicine each day?  God's word is medicine.  In Proverbs 4:20-22, it states "attend to my words... they are life... and health (medicine) to all their flesh."  God's Word ministers to the total man.  His word (Jesus) is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.  Most people have used the words of their mouth to hold themselves in bondage.  But as you begin to speak the Word of God from the heart, it will produce liberty.  It will produce the health and healing the Word said it would.  If we will begin to establish the things God said and establish His Word on this earth, then, thank God, we'll rise to a new level of faith!  We will walk in the level of life where we release the ability of God by the words of our mouth.  Let's learn to take God's medicine daily.  Just as we take our daily medicine for our mental and physical health, we need to take our daily medicine for our soul.  The every loving Word of Jesus Christ!

Every one of us needs to train ourselves to speak God's Word.  It is not good enough just to read his word, we need to memorize.  This will not only help us have  better knowledge of God but it will help us in our prayer life.  Ephesians 5:1 tells us "to be followers of God, as dear children...." The word "followers" in Greek means to imitate.  We are to imitate God as a child does his father.  If a child imitates his father, he will walk like him, talk like him, and pattern his every move after him.  We should do no less after our God.  When you study the life of Jesus, you find several important facts that caused Him to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil.  One was he spent much time in prayer, but He never prayed the problem: He prayed the answer -- what God said is the answer.  He spoke accurate, never crooked speech.  His conversations always consisted of what God said.  He always spoke the end results, not the problem.  Never did He confess present circumstances.  He spoke the desired results.  The last of many others is he used the written Word to defeat Satan.  Challenge yourselves to pick a theme each week that you would like to work on in your life and find a verse in the Bible that pertains to that.  Memorize that saying it through out the day and see how much better your prayers become!

Faith talks.  When faith talks, it talks faith, not fear and unbelief.  You can have what you say if you learn to release faith from the heart in your words.  Jesus said ".... as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee." (Matt. 8:13)  He didn't say it would only work if you believed right.  Whether you believe right, or wrong, it is still the law.  The spiritual law is based on the same basic principle of seed time harvest.  The words you speak are seeds that produce after their kind.  Just as sure as they are planted, you can be equally sure a harvest will follow.  Just like with any seed if you start planting bad ones or start planting them in bad soil you won't see much growth.  Make sure you are planting your seeds from the Word of God.  His seeds have already been planted inside of you.  Make sure you do your part to help water them and see them grow!  You reap what you sow.  Make sure your sowing from your heart.

Christianity is called the great confession, but most Christians who are defeated in life are defeated because they believe and confess the wrong things.  They have spoken the words of the enemy and those words hold them in bondage.  Proverbs 6:1-2 says "....Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth."  Faith filled words will put you over.  Fear filled words will defeat you.  Words are the most powerful thing  in the universe.  Man is a spirit being, very capable of operating on the same level of faith as God. We read in Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him.  If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."  Take words of encouragement, words of power, words from the Lord and speak them over your life and over the lives of people you care about.  Do this daily on a daily basis and see how these words come to fulfillment in your life.  The power of prayer is amazing!  Pray with His words and turn your life into a into an over flowing river of blessing!

How do you react when opposition comes your way?  What do you do when things get tough?  Any time when you step out into faith and try and do something for God the enemy is going to attack you.  How are you going to react when this happens?  Are you going to shrink back and just let the enemy have their way?  Or are you going to stand up to the enemy knowing once you stand up to him you have the most powerful force in the world on your side.  When you make a stand you make a declaration of your faith in God and automatically raise that shield of faith, which extinguishes all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Start today by taking a stand and stay on the course the Lord has set for you.  The amazing blessings that will come your way will blow your mind.  God rewards those who stand up for him.  In Exodus 14:13 it says "Fear not; stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today."

How many of you know that what you think about determines the direction of your life? What you dwell on and think about throughout your day will determine how your day goes.  Think back to a great day that you have had.  If you can remember what you were thinking about that day I'm sure you were dwelling on good things.  Things that inspired you and didn't bring you down.   Things that made you feel happy and good inside.  When you read God's Word and pray to him does that make you feel good? Through out your day talk to God and whenever you get a chance get into his word.  You will be surprised how much better your day goes when you focus on God and how great he is and all the great things he is doing in your life!  In Philippians 4:8 it says "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."

  What is holding you back in your life today?  Are things from your past holding you back from receiving God's many great gifts?  One of the main keys to overcoming life's disappointments is learning to let go of it.  The way you let of the past is by choosing to forgive those who have hurt you or wronged you by believing God is going to restore everything that was take from you.  Once you have done this you will feel a great weight lifted off your shoulders.  You will be released from the pressure of trying to make up for your life's past mistakes or failures.  You will then begin to experience the bright future God has in store for you!  In the Bible it says "...but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching, forward to what lies ahead, I press toward the mark for the price of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14).
