Where Is Your Victory?

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. —Romans 10:6–8

God never said if you need something, call on Me. He said not to talk like I’m up there and need to come down to help you. Don’t talk like I’m down there and need to come up. Your victory is in your heart and in your mouth. If victory isn’t there, then something else is in your heart and mouth. The Word says that in these last days perilous times will come. Some will depart from the faith, not a faith. There is only one faith that prevails. It is the God-kind of faith, which is faith in the Word. Romans 12:2 says there are only two ways to live: conformed to the world or transformed to God’s will. What makes the difference? What you think. The world lives in worry and fear; the Kingdom citizen lives by faith and their God-given authority. The key to victory is a mind renewed to the Word of God. A transformed mind believes and proves the will of God (Romans 12:2). When challenges come against the will of God in your life, faith will remove them. The Word in your mouth and heart will remove fear, worry, symptoms, depression, and all devices of the devil. You will never have a week without opposition. You will be opposed, and when that opposition comes, “whoever shall say.” God desires that you release your faith and your authority; that you talk to symptoms, fear, and worldly thoughts. Jesus spoke to sickness, devils, trees, to all kinds of things that came against God’s will. Whosoever shall say shall have whatsoever he says.

Know Your Position!

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. —Ephesians 2:6

What kind of man can move a mountain? One who has faith, one who has the Word of God in his heart and who speaks it with his mouth. To do this, you must be aware of your position in the Kingdom (Revelation 1:6). You are a king who has been raised and seated. Most of the Church does not know the Word, nor their position. They sit back and hope that God will do something about their situation. They do not know that they have faith and authority to talk to sickness, worry, and fear. Because of this, they live depressed, mad, offended, and fearful. You are the Redeemed of God! You are a higher-ranked spirit than the spirits of darkness. Satan and his demons come to block you from God’s will in your life. You have a right to live free in every area of your life, but you will be the one who chooses how you live. How do you stay in victory? “But whosoever shall say.” Not if God says, but whosoever shall say, and not doubt.

Sight and Sound

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. —Matthew 12:33–34

How do you see yourself? Sick? Poor? Weak? Or healthy, wealthy, and strong? Do not believe what you can see, but see what you believe. We need to change channels from the natural to Station W-O-R-D. Whatever is abundant in your heart, your mouth will speak. Whatever you have allowed in your heart through your ears and eyes, your mouth will speak. If it’s worry, you will talk worry. If it’s fear, you will speak fear. If you hear a song first thing in the morning, you will find yourself singing that song all day without even thinking about it. You will not talk sickness if healing is in abundance in your thoughts. You will not talk failure if victory is in abundance in you by the Word. You can tell what anyone’s heart is full of by what comes out of their mouth. (This is also the way you can check yourself, to see if you are operating in faith.) In extreme situations, your soul will step aside, and whatever is in abundance in your heart will come out. In an accident, some people cry out, “JESUS!” Others cry out, “I’m gonna DIE!” Whatever is in abundance, whatever you really believe in your heart, will come out. How you see yourself is how you will talk about yourself: “As [a man] thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7 nkjv). Let the Word of God paint the true picture of who you really are in your mind and heart.
