But the Lord did not forget about my skin condition. One day, He prompted me to check my body to see if it was still there. I did so and realized that it had disappeared! God had not forgotten the Word which I had confessed in faith.
A couple in the United States who has been hearing me preach on God’s grace began to catch a revelation of God’s love for them. They started confessing their righteousness in Christ, and meditating on provision scriptures and declaring that they were debt free through Jesus’ finished work. Not long after, the wife phoned their mortgage company to make two mortgage payments on their home. They had a total of about US$80,000 left to pay. To her utter surprise and delight, she was told that both accounts were at a zero balance. The company had forgiven both mortgage loans! Indeed, God did not forget the Word that this couple had spoken in faith.
Maybe you shared God’s Word with a troubled friend a few years ago. You bump into him one day and he tells you, “Remember that day? You said something which transformed my life!” Your mind draws a blank because you have forgotten what you said. But God did not forget. He remembered what you said that day in faith.
You see, if the words you confess in faith for yourself or over your loved ones are God’s own words, He says, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Because what is promised to you is God’s Word, you will see the manifestation of His promise. He will certainly watch over His Word to perform it (see Numbers 23:19)!
"I'M HERE TO TELL YOU" EDITOR'S NOTE
I'm here to tell you about my skin condition. It was horrible and it came around like clockwork every couple of months. It was on the top of my right hand and lasted for about a month. One day I put some 'holy oil' on it and had faith that that was 'medicine' enough - and it was. It has never returned. Recently I stopped smoking - after 44 years! Jesus said finish what you have left and you will be done. Just like that! (like a snap of your fingers). When the time had come, I stopped - just like that - snap! OK, what happened? Did I have something to do with this? Was it the oil? Was it a miracle? Was it Jesus? Yes, yes yes!!
Jesus said: "Therefore I tell you, all things you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them". All things are possible to them that love the Lord. God's work is always on time. Simply have faith that He loves you and He knows what He's doing.
