THERE'S DEATH AND LIFE IN YOUR MOUTH !

THERE'S DEATH AND LIFE IN YOUR MOUTH ! There is death or life in the power of your tongue, and many are eating the fruit thereof. Many do not understand the implications of their own words that carries power, to cause and effect their own lives. Satan understands this principle very well, all he needs is your mouth to give him the power to affect your life in the things of death. On the other hand, Jesus needs your cooperation with your mouth and your body and your soul: So He can affect your life in the positive things of life. You have to understand that your life is hidden in Christ Jesus. It's not in this world, nor is it in the things of this world ! Remember, in those days, the prophet was the carrier of God's WORD. He represented the truth and the power of it. In essence, this dear lady was holding tightly to THE WORD of God. She was gripping THE BLESSING by faith and refusing to let it go, despite the contrary circumstances. Many have put faith in science, rather than having faith in God: THE WORD of God should be the final authority in your life. Many have not taken the time to rightly divide THE WORD of God for their life. Remember, man is not supposed to live by bread alone, But by Every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. When Elisha arrived at her house, he found the little boy lying dead on his bed. He went in therefore, shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to THE LORD. Now what do you suppose he prayed ? God if it be your will let this little boy live; I don't think so. Elisha simply did what is instructed in THE WORD of God in (Matthew 6:6) "But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy room, and when thou hast shut the door, pray to thy Father, who is in secret; and shall reward the openly. But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the pagans do; for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not you, therefore, like unto them; for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him." Evidently God has instructed Elisha what to do, And he went up and laid on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands; and he stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm. He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him; then the child sneezed seven times, and the child open his eyes (versus 33-35) new King James version. What do you think opened the door for Elisha to bring that boy back to life ? Was it the fact that he was a prophet ? No, it was the Shunammite woman's faith in THE BLESSING. She believed in it and confessed it. She stayed connected to it by faith until the power of it flowed through Elisha and raise her son from the dead. That woman gave us a perfect picture of how faith in THE WORD OF THE BLESSING responds in a time of crisis. Faith opens its mouth and confesses the truth of God's WORD about the situation. Faith says, "All is well !" When the devil comes tearing into your life with some kind of curse-spawned circumstance, it's not enough just to sit quietly and try to think BLESSED thoughts. You won't be able to do it. If you try to struggle in silence with the kind of oppressive, fear filled thoughts that assail you at times like that, your faith will falter. Your end up saying foolish things like, "I'm not going to make it through this ! It's going to kill me ! THE WORD just doesn't work for me !"
