and i'm wondering if there are things echoing in your head right now
that are stopping you from living your best life because you will not silence him by speaking back
you shall have whatever you say
so says the word of god you shall have whatever you say
this is the end
you're gonna lose everything
you won't come out of this
you're not smart enough you're not bright enough you waited too late you should have
started younger those are the kind of voices that we all live with for me our ministry was growing
we lived in the nice house nice house we'd ever had driving a nice car living from paycheck to
paycheck but making it every night i lay down at night after she goes to sleep i hear the voices
those voices are the kind of voices that stop you from buying into your own life
stop you from enjoying the good times and believing that they will last the anxiety
and the pressure and the strength that it took to get from where you were to where you are
doesn't go away so you don't really believe it's yours you're driving it but you don't
really believe it and you're scared to relax and really rest in whatever it is or whoever it is
because everything else went away maybe this will go away too we talk about faith for bad times but
but you also need faith in good times to actually believe the goodness of god is not going anywhere
to silence the voices they keep saying you'll never make it you're about to lose everything
fear gets in your heart see see i know what it's like to be poor
and i know what it's like to be without and i know what it's like not to have dinner for my kids
returning to that that the idea that that could happen
is terrifying and the enemy always has some sort of tool or memory or situation that he uses
to terrify you even though the good times are here and and the dream is there the blessing is there
and the goodness is there but there's always this haunting nagging defiance
that says don't you relax you're not worth it you don't deserve it and it's not going to last
resting in what god has done is often more difficult than receiving what god has done
to rest in it to believe that it will last to believe that you will ask that love will last that
that life will last that that good times will come that things will be better it's difficult because
of the voices and you are what you eat and the voices are the food that feeds your faith or fear
so if you want to change your diet you can change your outcome
but you have to stop talking to yourself the way you do because if you continue
to talk to yourself the way you do you will always be where you've always been
it is what you say within yourself that heals you the woman with israel blood said to herself
if i can but touch the hem of his garment i'll be made whole there was no scripture to validate that
she could say she wasn't quoting deuteronomy or new numbers or anything like that
it's just something she said to herself there was no doctrine around it we've never seen that happen
before but she said to herself if i can but touch the hem of his garment i'll be made whole wow and
all the while she was crawling she kept saying over and over again if i can just touch if i can
just touch if i can just touch i can just touch the end of the glove and without jesus permission
and without the support of the disciples she creeped up on him and snatched a
miracle snatched it snatched it because of what she said to herself
you see those voices that say what you can't do what you can't have what you can't be what's not
going to last what's not going to work is how the enemy pulverizes the promises of god in your life
and it takes word to combat word that's why when jesus was in the wilderness and satan
was so unworried at him he was throwing word back and what we have to do is put word onward
i'm blessed i'm blessed in the city i'm blessed in the field i'm blessed in my
uprising i'm blessed in my down setting i'll be blessed into my old age i'll be blessed when i'm
an old man my grandchildren will be blessed my body is blessed my body is my mind is blessed
my head is blessed i got this i can handle it i can do it bring it on here it is
that kind of talk saying that to yourself drives back the other voices of negativity that we all
have creep up behind us and tell us that we're not capable and we're not competent and we're not
gifted enough and we're not good enough or we waited too late or god is punishing us
to talk back to those voices shuts the enemy down the pressure i was going through i was causing
because the pressure i was going through was coming from the things that i allowed
to reverberate in my head and i'm wondering if there are things echoing in your head right now
that are stopping you from living your best life because you will not silence them by speaking back
you shall have whatever you say so says the word of god you shall have whatever you say
if it's betrayal you shall have whatever you say if it's a life without love you
shall have whatever you say it doesn't just work positively it also works negatively
you shall have whatever you say she touched him and she was made whole and he says who touched me
which means he's oblivious to what's going on this is all happening in her head
the whole thing happened in our head and the lord who is our mission ask a question who touched me
and the disciples wanted to be important answered him say everybody touch you
he said no no no no no no that's not what i'm talking about everybody around me don't
touch me everybody around me don't touch me you've been sad everybody around me
don't touch me just cause you're around me don't mean you touch me somebody touched me
somebody touched me and she came out from the cross chief's lead and see it was me it was me
she got a miracle while jesus wasn't looking because of what she said to herself
that's what i want you to see and stop letting those other words crush
at tbn our mission is to use every available means to reach as many individuals and families
as possible with the life-changing gospel of jesus christ thank you for helping make
the gospel of grace go around the world without you we couldn't do it god bless you
