The Power Of Prophetic Words

What a great reminder as I read Mark 11 yesterday. Perhaps you remember the story of Jesus passing by a fig tree, he was expecting to find some breakfast, but there was nothing but fig leaves. Scripture says, he addressed the tree... stop right there.

He addressed a tree... Jesus spoke to things and they listened and obeyed. He spoke to waves and told them to calm down and they did. He spoke to a tree and cursed it, telling it no one will ever eat fruit from you again... and it shriveled up and died. He spoke to dead bodies and they came back to life!

I remember years ago when I worked for the Apothecary Shop. I would go into work early in the morning and walk around the building speaking to it. I would speak to the business and command it to flourish, expand, and grow for my boss. I had a godly boss and I wanted his business to prosper.

When I as a teenager I had a friend who was riding his bike down Saginaw Hwy. and was hit by a car. He was in a coma... every day his mother would read the word of God to him. What a great mom! Anyway, I remember going up to the hospital and speaking to Kurts body and he sat up and said Hi, Kevin. Wow!

This week I went up to the hospital to visit some friends who's 5 month old baby wasn't able to hold down his food. I laid hands on his body and commanded it to be healed. Speaking to the mountain of sickness in his body, I commanded it to get up and go! Before I made it back to the office, I received a voice mail that he was doing much better, tests came back negative, looks like he now won't be needing surgery and will be heading home. Praise the Lord!

Jesus told his disciples in Luke 11:22-25 MSG

"Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain for instance: Just say, go jump in the lake - and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything."
Will you take time to prophecy over your life today? Speak to your spirit man, speak to your marriage, speak to your children, speak to your finances, speak to your business, and speak to your ministry. Speak to everything in your life ranging from small to large... fully expecting the miraculous to take place in your life.
I prophecy over you now my friend. I speak to your ears and tell them to open up to Gods voice. I speak to your heart and tell it to obey the voice of the Lord. I speak to your spirit man and say "GROW!" May you walk in personal revival and the adventure of speaking prophetic words!
Enjoying the Journey,
Kev
