Whose Words are in Our Mouth? By James Hamann

The Lord has been impressing on me a question ...“Whose words are in our mouth?” As we look at our current financial situation, what are we confessing?

Much of our confession recently has been of financial problems, lack of funds to meet our needs, lack of funds to complete . . . The words in our mouth are words of lack, leanness, debt and fear.

These are not God’s words. Their source comes from our enemy, Satan. How can we know this? We know this because they are directly opposed to God’s word. Hear what God says:

And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need, be self-sufficient—possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable devotion. II Corinthians 9:8

Read and meditate on these words for they are truly God’s words and promise to us. Faith will arise as we do. Romans 10:17 tells us faith comes by hearing the word of God.

We must begin to put God’s words in our mouths (Romans 8:10). In faith, let’s begin to confess and say what God says and free him to begin to manifest the reality of His promise in our present experience. In Jeremiah God himself has said:

. . . For I am alert and active, watching over my word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:12

In Romans 4 Paul says that Abraham did not weaken in faith when he considered his present situation, but,

No unbelief or distrust made him waver or doubtingly question concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God, fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and do what He had promised.
Romans 4:20-21

Let us not look at our present situation financially and weaken in faith. Our situation/ circumstances is not the final truth. God’s word is the final truth ...put God’s word in our mouths ... give Him praise and glory that He is mighty and able to keep His word and do what He has promised.

Our God will liberally supply our every need! Let us hold fast to this confession.
