MAKE WAR WITH WORDS
Take with you words, and turn to the
Lord: say unto him, Take away all
iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will
we render the calves of our lips
(Hosea 14:2).

Being born again, we’re engaged in a spiritual
warfare: a fight of faith. Actually, it’s called “the
good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12). It’s a good fight
because we always win. If a Christian loses in the good
fight of faith, then he or she isn’t using the right arsenal;
and part of that arsenal is prophecy.
In 1 Timothy 1:18, the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit,
gave an important charge to Timothy, and by extension
the rest of us, saying, “This charge I commit unto thee,
son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went
before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good
warfare.”
We make war with prophecies. Don’t let the
Word of the Lord that has gone forth concerning your
finances, health, family, business or career fall to the
ground. Use them in your fight of faith. Make war with
them. No matter what comes against you; no matter the
challenges or crises you face, declare the Word.
It’s time to make war with those prophecies you
wrote somewhere in your note or diary. God gave you
those words for you to affirm the same in consent. If
you don’t say it, it won’t work. “He said; so that we may
boldly say…” (Hebrews 13:5-6).
For example, Isaiah 43:2 says, “When thou passest
through the waters, I will be with thee; and through
the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou
walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Don’t just
read that and be quiet; respond. Declare, “I’m forever
protected and fortified against all evil and wickedness in
this world. I dwell in the safety and peaceful habitation
of the Almighty; a place of glory, dominion and
everlasting joy, where I reign and rule with Christ over
circumstances.”
In the face of trouble or adversity, make war with
words. Affirm your victory. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit
at work in me, and the ability He’s granted me to
speak forth words of power. Even now, I declare
that I’m functioning in supernatural supply, strength,
ability, wisdom and knowledge; I know things by the
Holy Ghost, and I’m walking in, and fulfilling my
destiny in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
