Speak with Authority
Views: 72
When two hippopotamuses fight the winner is usually the one who could open its mouth the widest. They usually fight to establish their control over a certain territory.
God has an agenda for us and so does the devil. God wants us to open our mouth wide to establish His plan on earth according to Genesis 1:27-28
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.Then God blessed them and said,
“Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground. (Genesis 1:27-28 NLT)
In yesterday’s devotional entitled, “Speak Victory,” we quoted Psalm 81:10, where the Lord said, “Open your mouth wide….” What does God mean when He tells you to open your mouth wide?
He means we should confess His word and He will make it happen through us. The greater the promises we are willing to confess, the bigger the miracles we will see.
The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. (John 10:10 NLT)
Jesus described the devil as the thief who wants to steal the abundant life which God has given us. His greatest weapon is words of deception. He approaches us with his mouth open so we must counterattack with our mouth open even wider to defend our territory. Our territory includes our jobs, businesses, home, ministries, marriage, careers, education, children, parents, siblings, neighbors, country, friends and many more.
An example in the Bible of a wide open mouth is the battle of Jesus with the devil in the wilderness.
READ Luke 4:9-13
Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! 10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect and guard you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’ ” Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’ ” When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.
(Luke 4:9-13 NLT)
Jesus opened His mouth wider so the devil had to leave His territory. Which of your territories is the enemy greatly attacking? Which area are you doing the right things by obeying God, but getting wrong results all the time. Then it is the work of the enemy. For business increase, You can say,
“I thank You Lord Jesus that You
have given me all Authority in
heaven and on earth. I rebuke
every power of the enemy working
against my business and causing
it not to flourish. I declare that from
today my business will grow
in Jesus Name.”
MEMORY VERSE
My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
(John 10:10 NLT)

URGENT CALL
By nature, we are all sinful, and alienated from God. We ultimately face the wrath of God!
But God in His mercy and love gives us a chance to reverse this trend, join His family, be part of His household, and become His children.
The first step to becoming a member of God’s household is for us to be saved.
Salvation comes through accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Personal Savior.
It is a very personal decision. No one can make that decision for you.
If you make that decision today, there will be great singing and rejoicing in heaven; because one new member has joined the family and household of God!
Do you want to make that decision today?
Please visit “The Believer’s Prayer” for
guidance if you want to make that decision.

God richly bless you.
