用你的權柄發出話語

上帝一直與我們同在……但很重要的一點是,請不要將其視為理所當然;我們不要僅僅只是期望從神那裡不停地獲得的好處和祝福,或者更糟的是,我們與神的關系是從來不去祈求,不去尋找或不去叩門。

你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門。(馬太福音7:7-8)

祈求,這個禮物就是你的。尋求,你會找到。叩門,門就會為你打開。每一個堅持不懈的尋求者人都會得到他所祈求的。每一個堅持不懈的尋求者都會發現他所渴望的。每個持續叩門的人都將有一天找到一扇為他敞開的門。(馬太福音7:7-8)

祈求,尋找和叩門

上帝樂意帶領和教導我們,願意開門,但我們要先願意去求問,尋找和叩門。是的,上帝總是供應我們的基本需求-即使我們不求問,尋求和叩門 - 但我們的被造不僅僅是成為得勝者!我們被造的目的還要去征服去超越,不是通過肉體的努力,而是通過禱告 - 通過上帝來達成!

耶和華—我的磐石,我的救贖主啊,願我口中的言語、心裡的意念在你面前蒙悅納。(詩篇19:14)

敵人無法勝過上帝-這是事實-上帝住在我們裡面!祂使我們有能力說出從天堂釋放出的信息,如此天國就可以彰顯在地上。當我們的心和口與上帝(我們的力量和救贖主)達成一致並釋放話語的時候,大事件就會發生!

除了人,沒有其他被創造之物具備語言能力。上帝按照祂的形像只造了人類,沒有其它物種。

上帝說話,我們就成為有靈的活人……是這樣。祂給了我們呼吸,生命和聲音,所以我們按照祂的方式,可以說話,走路和行動...像他一樣活著...像祂一樣說話。

上帝賜予亞當權柄,上帝也對所有被造物說話。亞當說出每個物種的名字,並由此它們的本性被造出。上帝不僅允許亞當像祂一樣說話,而且亞當也可以創造……就像祂一樣。所有一切的創造者!

然而,我們不應因此而變得驕傲。畢竟,上帝在我們之上。是他賜予我們說話的天賦能力及其帶來的創造力。但由於人類的墮落,我們濫用了這一能力...

...世人都犯了罪,虧缺了上帝的榮耀…(羅馬書3:23)

...我又告訴你們,凡人所說的閒話,當審判的日子,必要句句供出來。(馬太福音12:36)

像坐在高天的父親那樣說話,我們對此望塵莫及,但是,透過這份話語的天賦,我們找到了生命。正是神的愛,恩惠和憐憫-使我們能夠用天國的權柄說話,因為耶穌寶血對我們的心進行割禮,我們才能扭轉詛咒,贖回失去的一切!

宣告生命

生死在舌頭的權下,喜愛它的,必吃它所結的果子。(箴言18:21)

人口中所結的果子,必充滿肚腹;他嘴所出的,必使他飽足。(箴言18:20)

當我們宣告生命時;那些來自上帝的,他的話語,他的愛……我們不僅心得滿足,而且被上帝的生命力和祂的良善所充滿!

許多恩賜是上帝給我們與生俱來的權利,然而,由於匆忙說出的話語或沒有經過禱告而萌生的想法,使得仇敵攔截了許多本來要給我們的祝福。因為仇敵的權柄只在與上帝對立的事之上。

當我們所說的與背離了上帝的時候,我們也與上帝背道而馳,任何與上帝背道而馳的祝福都不會被傾倒下來,因為舊酒袋中裝上新酒只會使其破裂!

...也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡,恐怕酒把皮袋裂開,酒和皮袋就都壞了;惟把新酒裝在新皮袋裡。(馬可福音2:22)

因此,如果我們要擊敗壓迫我們的仇敵,就必須宣告生命!我們需要說出上帝向我們顯明/告知我們的東西-那是良善而令人愉悅的。我們需要聚焦注視我們的天父,而這樣做的最好的方式就是就是從查考神的話語開始。

寶座上的講話

叫人活著的乃是靈,肉體是無益的。我對你們所說的話就是靈,就是生命。(約翰福音6:63)

...因為心裡所充滿的,口裡就說出來。(馬太福音12:34 TPT)

當我們的心直接從上帝的寶座宣告神的話時,枷鎖就斷裂了!我們開始變得像我們的天父,因為我們的話語與天父一致,為我們宣告出喜樂和生命。

現在正是時候了,我們要說出上帝渴望變成現實的那些事情了,將目光聚焦在我們的天父,並成為他在地上光。

信我的人就如經上所說:『從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。』(約翰福音7:38)

...若有什麽德行,若有什麽稱讚,這些事你們都要思念。-- 將你的思想放在上帝每一個榮耀的工作上,總是讚美祂。(腓立比書4:8)


Your Authority to Speak
Curt Landry

God is always with us...but it is important that we do not take it for granted; that we do not simply expect things and blessings to continually occur, or worse yet, a relationship with Him without our needing to ask, seek, or knock.

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV)

"Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you'll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door." (Matthew 7:7-8 TPT)

Ask, Seek and Knock

God is willing to guide and teach us, even to open doors, but we must first be willing to ask, seek, and knock. Yes, God always supplies our basic needs—even if we fail to ask, seek, and knock—but we were created to be more than conquerors! We are shaped to overcome and rise above, not through flesh-filled efforts, but through prayer—through God!

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer." (Psalm 19:14)

The enemy cannot win against God—that is a fact—and God is in us! He has given us the power to speak out that which is in Heaven so it can be made manifest on Earth. And when our hearts and mouths speak in unison with God's—our strength and Redeemer—mighty things happen!

No other creation has the ability to speak. God made no other in His image/likeness.

God SPOKE us into being...and it was so. He gave us breath, life, and a voice so we might speak, walk and act in His ways...being like Him...talking like Him.

God gave Adam the AUTHORITY to SPEAK into all His creations. Adam SPOKE names to each creature, and in doing so, their very nature was made. God not only allowed Adam to speak like Him, but to create...just like Him. The Creator of all!

Now, in this we should not allow ourselves to become prideful. After all, God is above us. He is the One who gave us this beautiful gift of speech and the creation it brings. And we, through man's fall, have misused this gift...

"...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." (Romans 3:23)

"...I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment." (Matthew 12:36)

We are not worthy to speak like our Father in Heaven, yet, through that very gift, we find life. It is God's love, goodness and mercy—allowing us to speak with the authority of Heaven, through the circumcision of our hearts in Jesus' Blood—that we can reverse curses and redeem what has been lost!

Speak Life

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21)

"From the fruit of their mouth a person's stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied." (Proverbs 18:20 NIV)

When we speak life; those things from God, His Word, His love...we are not only satisfied, but are filled with life and God's goodness!

Many gifts are our birthright in God, yet, because of words spoken hastily or without prayerful thought, many blessings are withheld by the enemy; for the enemy's authority is only over things contrary to God.

When what we speak becomes contrary to God, we become contrary to God, and nothing contrary to God can have His blessings poured in, for new wine in an old wineskin can cause it to burst!

"...no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins." (Mark 2:22)

So, if we are to win against the enemy who oppresses us, we must speak life! We need to speak what God shows/tells us—that which is good, and pleasant. We need to fix our eyes upon our Father, and one of the best places to begin doing that is in the Word itself.

Speaking From the Throne Room

"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63)

"...what has been stored up in your hearts will be heard in the overflow of your words!" (Matthew 12:34 TPT)

When our hearts speak words straight from the throne room of God, chains break! We begin to resemble our Father as our words, in alignment with His, speak joy and life on our behalf.

It is time we speak those things God desires into existence, setting our eyes upon our Father and being His light on Earth.

"Believe in Me so that rivers of living water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!" (John 7:38 TPT)

"...fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always." (Philippians 4:8 TPT)
