Built To Build 4

It Is Well! 

One pastor greeted me with the above words some time back. I thought it was pretty cool, so there you go! It Is Well...

In a tough situation, those words are hard to believe or speak out right? Yeah, I know. That is why we need Faith for them to become a reality in our lives. Remember the first Building Block we spoke about in the last post? Well it applies here as we move on to the next one...Confession.

Once Faith is a steady brick in our building process, we soon pick up that it is tied to the most powerful, natural weapon we possess - our speech. Really Gab? Yep, let's check this out:

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

"and how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,

How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

And I'm sure you all know this one very well...

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

These three 'witnesses' come from Romans10:14, 10:15 and Proverbs 18:21 respectively.

These days we have a lovely thing called 'Just Say It' or 'Just Speak Your Mind', the power of 'Freedom of Expression'. There's nothing wrong with it until we start speaking things that end up becoming our very lives. 

Eg. "This food is killing me..", "I'm going to die after I drive this car..."; "I'm telling you, if I get married, I won't even last 5 years" or even, "I don't want to live past the age of 35 because there is not fun in getting old"

I've heard such things and a lot more, and I suppose these can be taken as jokes or just sayings right? Imagine if they actually happen, where someone actually dies because of the food they ate, or never last past five years in marriage, or truly die after driving a particular car or just drop dead with no medical explanation on their 35th birthday?" No ways?

Well Romans 10:17 say, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Faith in God comes by hearing the Word of God. Faith in other things comes by hearing those things. So what we engage our ears in, listen to and eventually make part of our thinking processes, develops faith in us automatically. Oh yeah! If the power of life and death is in our tongue, you best believe, it happens!

Ready?

Once our Faith chooses to go after God, we need to cause our mouths to speak that which is Godly. We achieve this by understanding that Faith COMES by hearing and we need to choose to listen to things that will cause our minds to harbor things pertaining to God and speak those things out. This will become our reality.
