Introduction - Faith and Miracles
“Therefore, He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
Galatians 3:5 (NKJV)
All people desire miracles and breakthroughs. Bible says God has given us two things for our miracles or our breakthroughs to happen.
A) Holy Spirit
B) Hearing the Words of Faith
The Word of God says that God has given us Holy Spirit and Faith so that we can have faith. God is not a supermarket full of things that we should go to Him, only when we have needs. God knows all our needs even before we can ask for anything. God and heaven have a pattern of action. The writer of Hebrews says,
“Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power…”
Hebrews 1:3 (NKJV)
God holds all things by the Word. The Holy Spirit has been supplied to us, now the power of the Holy Spirit is manifested when the Word of God is attested to it. In the World, some important documents get passed on to further processes when it is attested. Only an attested copy has value. The normal carbon copy will not have a value. In the same way, understanding or having the Holy Spirit does not give us value unless the anointing that is there in our life is coupled with the Words of Faith which we release. This combination releases miracles in our lives. And this is where the Church struggles. If the anointing of the Holy Spirit was only the requirement for miracles by this time all of us would have got miracles for everything. That is not the key. So, the miracle is stopped not because the power of God is limited but because the Words of Faith are not released.
God’s Working Pattern
God and heaven work in a certain pattern. In the heavenly realms, everything is already created.
God says I knew you even before you were formed. Normally a baby is formed in its mother’s womb. So, which is the place before that? It is the heavenly realm. There are three realms. The heavenly realm, the earthly realm or we can call the physical realm, and the demonic realm. When Bible says even before the foundations of this world, He has called us by name, it means that even before the earth was created, we existed in the heavenly realms. Everything that we require is already stored in the heavenly realms. God has already prepared it beforehand for His glory even before what our eyes can see or imagine. Now, there is a pattern that our God works. These pre-destined blessings do not get released by God, but it is our anointing coupled with the words of Faith that pulls it out for us. When God speaks a blessing over us, our Amen to it releases that blessing for us. When we pray in the Spirit and we see a vision or a dream, our prayer coupled with the Words of Faith releases its fulfillment for us. Today, whatever we are experiencing is what people have spoken with Faith over our lives. Even our birth is a result of Words of Faith.
Speaking Words of Faith
Speaking Faith is very important to push our miracle. Everything is already there and the Bible says God has given us the Holy Spirit which is the connection or the channel between the heavenly realms and the natural realms. Holy Spirit activates the channel and pushes the Words of faith that a believer speaks.
Language of the World
But we have our individual language before coming to Christ – The language of sin. Foul words, bad words, negative words, criticizing words, and words of anger. But the moment salvation came, the truth started getting manifested. The knowledge about the realms of heaven starts to come through our mouths. In the heavenly realms, we are the Son of God. We are already saved and are marked in the Book of Life of eternity. It is how heaven works. Everything is already written. And when faith confession was made and when we believed in our hearts and confessed with our mouths, it got released into our natural lives. And we become the creation how God wants us to become according to the heavenly realms. This happened because we spoke the Words of Faith. This is how it happens for every miracle in our life, every prayer request that we have, God has already finished everything and put the answers for us in heavenly realms. It gets delayed because of the channel of the blocked Holy Spirit and the lack of Faith in us. Even the gift of speaking in tongues is given to us to speak the heavenly language. The Bible says the one who speaks in tongues edifies himself. Worldly language blocks our miracles. When we start speaking the heavenly language, we are edifying ourselves. Paul says, ‘My mind is unfruitful when I am speaking the heavenly language’. For faith to operate, our mind has to be switched off. When we pray in tongues, the heavenly language opens the channel, faith operates and the miracle is fastened in our lives.
Language of God
By faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV)
The heavenly realm is the invisible realm. We cannot see it with our naked eyes. And everything which is created, everything that we see, our physical miracle, our breakthrough, everything that we see is created from the invisible realms to the visible realms. That is where this communication channel is very, very important in our lives. More than our bank balances, this communication channel is very important.
Language of Faith-filled Words
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Mark 11:23 (NKJV)
When our eyes of understanding are opened to see what God had in store for us in the heavenly, then the Word of God says that those things we say will be done, and we will have whatever we say. This is the power of the Words of Faith that we speak in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We can know what God has in store for us in the heavenly realms through visions and dreams. Dreams and visions are the language of God. That is very pivotal in every person's life to have a blessed life. If our eyes of understanding are not opened in the visions, dreams, and prophecies, we will struggle in life.
Language of Dreams, Visions, and Prophecies
Dreams and visions reveal God’s purpose in our lives, and also warnings for our life. God gives warnings.
God gave warnings to Joseph in a dream, and in the new covenant, God gave warnings to Paul. When the warning happens, there is an activity, a demonic activity planned by the demons in the demonic realm, which is again higher realms to activate it in our lives. So, this is a warning which can be revealed by prophecy, vision, or dream. And when that warning happens, if we do not have the spiritual capacity to engage in warfare, this will be implemented by the demonic spirits in our lives. And if it is implemented by the demonic spirits in our lives, because we missed God's warning, we can never approach it ourselves until a man of God having the gifts of the Holy Spirit becomes a miracle and helps us get the deliverance. But instead of that, when there is a warning sign being shown in our life, we can start speaking words of faith, defeating the enemy’s weapon in our life, then we have already negotiated the warfare in the spiritual realms.
Language of Thanksgiving
When we have the language of faith, there is an additional supplementation to a language of faith that is we will thank God for what we have not yet seen in the visible world. It can be anything that we have not yet seen in the physical realm, but we thank the Lord in advance even before we get it. Because in the heavenly realms, it is already done for us in Jesus' name. That is why Philippians chapter 4 verse number 6, the Bible says to never be anxious about anything, but in everything come with prayer, as an act of faith, and thank the Lord in advance.
When Jesus prayed, He used the same language praying, ‘God, thank you for hearing my prayers. Jesus continues to say I know that you always hear my prayers.’
“But I say to you that for every idle word Men may speak, they will give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words, you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned.”
Matthew 12:36-37 (NKJV)
The Word of God says, for every idle word that a person speaks, they will have to give an account of it on the day of judgment. Now Idle is not laziness, but any word we speak which is not creative in the power of God. But when we speak Words of Faith, it is a blessing to not only us, but it is a blessing to thousands of people through us.
Power in our Tongue
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)
We can speak life into any circumstance that we are in because there is power in our tongue. We can defeat the realm of Death by speaking Words of Faith. Instead of looking at worldly parameters and speaking the language of Flesh, we can utilize that moment to release life, because He is a restorer of everything, our health, our time, and our lost seasons. Anything that we feel struck and delayed when we release the Words of Faith coupled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, God will press a reset button and everything will work according to the clocks of Jesus, in the timeline of the Almighty Lord Jesus.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
Proverbs 15:4 (NKJV)
A wholesome tongue is a perfect tongue coated with honey. The honey is the beauty of the Word of God. When we keep on confessing the word of God, it will do miracles. This is not a positive declaration, whatever we say will come to pass. The Bible says heaven and earth will pass away, but not even a single word of God that is spoken will fail. It will come to pass.
Concluding Prayer
Lord Jesus, help us to guard our tongue above all. Help us to speak the Language of God. Lord Jesus, I confess that my life is for the Glory of God, shaped in the direction of God’s perfect Will. I will reign and I will rule over all circumstances. I will have success and prosperity in all areas of my life. I will have victory and a wholesome tongue.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
