But God … Is Faithful
I not only had a brain tumor to deal with, but many other trials and storms were trying to destroy my faith and take my life, or at least my sanity, BUT GOD. I continued to find and personalize Scriptures to combat every attack. I continued to speak the Living Word out loud and declare God’s faithfulness. God’s Word spoken from our lips will not return empty but will accomplish and fulfill exactly what the Word is saying it will do (see Isaiah 55:11).. God’s desire and purpose [in His Word] will always prevail over every trial, storm, sickness, and attack from the enemy, but we must agree with His Word by decreeing His Word. For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God (II Corinthians 1:20 AMP). God has invited us [those who know Him through His Son Jesus] to partner with Him in advancing His Kingdom on earth [as it is in Heaven]. Jesus told us in Mark11:22-25 how to cooperate with His Word, which is His will. He says: “Have the God-kind of Faith.” HOW? Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he/she says shall come to pass, he/she shall have whatsoever he/she says (verses 22-23). The God-kind-of-faith comes from speaking, decreeing His Word only.
