The Ability of God is Released Through Our Words!

We can release the ability of God through our words!

1. We are to be imitators of God. Eph 5:1 We must talk like Him and act like Him.

2. God never does anything without saying it first. Jesus spoke to the wind, to demons, to the fig tree, and to dead man. God formed the earth, the sky, the animals and man by saying it first. He uses His faith! He releases his faith in words. Mark 11:23; Matt. 17:20; Mark 11:22, and more.

3. If we believe on Jesus, we will do the same works and greater! John 14:12

4. These are principles of faith that are based on spiritual law. This means they will work for anyone who will apply them.

5. You set things in motion by what comes out of your mouth, whether negative or positive.

6. Words are like containers. They produce after their own kind.

7. Faith can grow more quickly when you hear yourself saying the things that God says. Why? Because you more readily believe things by hearing YOURSELF say them rather than when someone else says them.

8. God WANTS us to create better lives for ourselves and others by the spoken Word.

9. “My Word is not void of power. My people are void of speech….By observing circumstances they have lost sight of My Word.” Charles Capps book

10. We are to speak victory even when everything around us looks like defeat. We are to speak abundance even though lack is staring us in the face.

11. God says that we can have what we say if what you say comes from our heart, but we keep saying what we have. (Charles Capps)

As we speak the truth, the facts have to get in line!

1. We must train ourselves to speak God’s Word which is the higher truth. We may have circumstances that are facts, like a bill that we can’t pay; but the truth is, we have abundance already supplied in our new covenant.

2. You have creative power in your tongue. When the Word of God comes out of your heart, then out of your mouth, it contains creative power!

3. As we begin to speak God’s Word over our lives, our hearts begin to believe the truth more than our circumstances. This takes time and effort!

4. We can actually establish the things that are in heaven on the earth simply by the words of our mouth when it’s the confession of our heart.

How to establish God’s Word in your heart:

1. Find promises that relate to your situation. This necessary because God’s Word is alive and powerful.

2. Write them on something that you can easily get to (might be your laptop, 3x5 cards, a notebook)

3. In my opinion, It’s OK if you paraphrase as long as the same meaning is still there.

4. Think about these verses during the day instead of the worry that has been constantly there. Combat your thought.

5. Speak them out loud making them personal 3 times a day like medicine.

6. Speak them with authority and tell your circumstances to get out of the way.

7. Realize that Jesus has ALREADY paid the price for our healing, abundance, protection, forgiveness, and life.

Example:

For Worry: I will fear no evil for you are with me Lord, your Word and your Spirit they comfort me. (Ps. 23:4)

I am far from oppression, and fear does not come near me. (Isa 54:14)

No evil will befall me neither shall any plague come near my dwelling. For the Lord has given His angels charge over me and they keep me in all my ways, and in my pathway is life and there is no death. (Ps. 91:10,11; Prov. 12:28)

For Needs: Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. Christ has redeemed me from poverty. Christ has redeemed me from sickness; Christ has redeemed me spiritual death. (Gal. 3:13; Deut. 28)

There is no lack for my God supplies all of my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)

The Lord is my shepherd and I DO NOT WANT because Jesus was made poor, that I through his poverty might have abundance. For He came that I might have life and have if more abundantly. (Ps. 23:1; II Cor. 8:9; John 10:10)

Love to you all! Marjorie Broce

What am I saved FROM?

I love to teach the Word and so here is a short little teaching on grace.

1. There is a huge difference between the old covenant and the new. We live under the new covenant which is BETTER and has BETTER promises! (Hebrews 8:6)

2. There is no way that we can be made friends (reconciled) with God by obeying the law (which is the main part of the Old Covenant) or by being good. The real job of the law was to show men their sin (Romans 3:20) because there’s no way to obey all the laws.

3. We are made right with God freely by faith and God’s grace through Jesus paying the price for our guilt (redemption), not by obeying the law. (Romans 3:21-28) But, we do good things because we love God and people, and because He said to imitate Him. (Ephesians 5:1)

4. In other words, it’s not because of what we do or don’t do that we are accepted by God and saved. It’s through faith with grace that we are made friends with God. (Romans 5: 1,2) Simply believing in our heart and confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord saves us. (Romans 10:9,10)

5. What about after we’re saved? Are we accepted by God only based on our obedience then? No! Since we are justified by Christ’s blood when we are first saved, how much more are we saved from His wrath now? If we were made right with God while we were still enemies with Him, it is much more certain now that we will be saved. (Romans 5:9,10)

6. I thought I was saved! You are saved from death and sin, but did you know that you are also saved from sickness, weakness, and distresses? (Isaiah 53:4,5 Amplified) poverty (II Corinthians 8:9) AND any curse listed in Deuteronomy 28 because of what Galatians 3:13 says? But, faith must be applied. Faith believes that it has now what a promise promisesl (Mark 11:24) How do you believe that you have it now, before you receive it? By picking out a couple of promises that pertain to your situation and thinking about them, rolling them over and over in your mind, and speaking them out loud. Your faith will grow and produce until you really believe that you have health now, or prosperity now, or whatever your desire is if it’s in line with the Word.

Another visit to Juan Jose's village

Yesterday, my family went with the Canadian team to the same village I wrote about in my previous posting. The team had built chicken cages for 3 of the families because they are the ones who had lost their crops in the mudslide. The team will also be buying them chicks to raise for eating and selling. This will replace their income from their crops until they can get their crops replanted.

Plus they built one for the widow in the village. She's the one that smiled so pretty for me on the last visit




The team spent several hours moving the mud from the mudslide in the back of a lady's yard so that she could plant a garden. The mud was extremely sticky and heavy and many times when they tried to throw the mud, it would just stick to their shovel. But they accomplished an amazing amount of work while they were there and will return for one more day of work.
My kids helped too. They are awesome workers! I preferred taking pictures although I did get my shoes muddy from helping a little.


Remember that there were 6 people killed from the mudslide but two boys were dug out in time and saved? Here is a picture of the two. When the medical team from Casa Angelina visited a few weeks later, they found that one of these boys had broken his leg and so someone from Casa Angelina helped monetarily so that he could get a cast.

Our Trip to the Village Yesterday

Juan Jose and Norma--House parents at Casa Angelina--This is his village






Yesterday, Glenn and I and one of my children, Annaliese, went to a village with the teams that are visiting Casa Angelina. This village is about 2 hours from my house and about 1 hour from the orphanage.

The connection with the village comes from one set of parents at Casa Angelina, Jose and Norma. They are parents at the orphanage to 15 kids. They happened to be off work last month on the weekend of the tropical storm Agatha and so were visiting their home--this same village.

In the middle of the night, they heard screaming and ran to the house where it was coming from. Because of all the rain, a great mud slide had burst through the house of Jose's cousin. Jose and others began digging immediately and eventually uncovered 2 boys, alive. They kept digging only to find the pregnant wife, who had gathered her other kids around her, all of whom had suffocated in the mud. Six were dead--the pregnant wife and 4 kids.

The house where the family was killed


It was an extremely sad time. When Jose's cousin found out, he could not stop crying. Jose tried to comfort him.



Casa Angelina, the orphanage we are working with, have helped out much. They brought 800 pounds of food to them quickly after this mudslide and loss of lives. Many crops were also lost in the mudslide.

Yesterday, 5 vehicles full of people and food, traveled to the village. Once we got off of the main road, I was amazed how far the road we followed went. It just kept going and going, curving around mountains, up and down hills, mudslides visible along the way, people smiling and waving as they stepped out of the way for the vehicles. The terrain was beautiful with green and trees everywhere.

When we got there, we pulled over off the side of the dirt road and parked right by the house that had been swallowed by mud that had swallowed lives.

We climbed the hill to the right and found the villagers waiting for us in one area. Most of the team sat down to eat lunch while I went over to the villagers and began talking to them. I met Jose's parents and little sister, along with the village children. I had fun talking to them.

The oldest person there intrigued me. I love to draw indigenous people with lots of wrinkles and this lady had them, so I took a close up picture of her.

The oldest person there.

There were about 14 people on the team that came to the village and they handed out two bags of food to each family, and then, according to the number of the people in their family, they received a towel rolled up with a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and soap for each person.

One of the ladies expressed her gratitude to all of us.

When the older lady received her goods, I followed her and the two men up to her house, being curious about where she lived.



Her daughter in law was up there too with her two children. I found out that when I had tried to speak spanish to the older woman, she did not understand me because she speaks Checkshekel. The older lady was smiling and so I thought I would take a picture. But as soon as I pointed the camera her way, her smile faded. I knew that is what they do here in Guatemala. They are taught to look serious for pictures.


So, I told her daughter-in-law that in the United States, we smile for photos, but in Guatemala, everyone is serious. After she told her mom in law in Checkshekel, the older woman smiled and I took a picture and her daughter in law teased her that she was American.

Isnt' she beautiful! She was so cute!

Some of the team allowed the kids to begin taking photos with the team's cameras. Some were taking pictures and one was taking video on an ipod. When they asked to use my camera, I decided that I trusted this particular girl and showed her how to take pictures with my camera, how to make the picture closer and further away, and how to press the shutter half way to get a focused picture, looking for the green square before pressing all the way.




She did great!

I loved my time in this village and wished I could communicate more with them and find out how they were all related with the family that died and what they have been through.

I only got a very small glimpse into their lives, but what I saw, I enjoyed.
