Our Time to “Be” Great!

Proverbs 18:20-21 “A man’s belly (his whole being) shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
John 14:12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on Me, the works that I do he shall do also, and greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father.”
We have an enemy that is continually warring to kill, steal, and destroy us (John 10:10). His favorite battleground is our mind where he tries to beat us down and keep us in a constant state of fear, but we don’t have to take his junk. We can use our tongue to start our day with this declaration of greatness and speak it out loud because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
With gratitude for former blessings we enter this new day with gratitude in advance for abundant new blessings that are ours, and in light of these two Scriptures, these divine provisions, these promises, we therefore declare;
Our whole being is filled with satisfaction; we have plenty in every area of our life, Through our speech, we are rewarded with abundant fruitfulness. With our lips, we set a boundary that terminates unproductive speech, and with the same lips, we choose to enlarge our borders by speaking words of increase, income, produce and revenue. In the words of the psalmist, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”
By the authority of Almighty God, our Good Shepherd, it excites us to know “the increase is done,” it will come, it will be brought forth, doubtless it will come to pass, it will enter into our possession, surely it is granted to us, surely we will give in return to the point that we will be reminded, “don’t be weary in well doing.” Our “well doing” will be in direct proportion to our “well thinking” and “well speaking.”
We love and appreciate the power that has been granted to us to speak death or life to any situation that arises and we expect, “With Greater Expectancy Than Ever” to freely enjoy and share the abundant reward that is brought forth.
Expecting His Immeasurable Favor In Every Area Of Our Life,
Steve and Becky Henry
