Isaiah 55:11 11So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Some years back, I had a skin condition which refused to
heal. I told God about it and began to take the Holy Communion
believing and confessing that by Jesus’ stripes I was healed.
Nothing happened, or so it seemed.
But the Lord did not forget about my skin condition. One day,
He prompted me to check my body to see if it was still there.
I did so and realized that it had disappeared! God had not
forgotten the Word which I had confessed in faith.
A couple in the United States who has been hearing me preach
on God’s grace began to catch a revelation of God’s love for
them. They started confessing their righteousness in Christ,
and meditating on provision scriptures and declaring that they
were debt free through Jesus’ finished work.
Not long after, the wife phoned their mortgage company to
make two mortgage payments on their home. They had a total of
about US$80,000 left to pay. To her utter surprise and
delight, she was told that both accounts were at a zero
balance. The company had forgiven both mortgage loans! Indeed,
God did not forget the Word that this couple had spoken in
faith.
Maybe you shared God’s Word with a troubled friend a few
years ago. You bump into him one day and he tells you,
“Remember that day? You said something which transformed my
life!” Your mind draws a blank because you have forgotten what
you said. But God did not forget. He remembered what you said
that day in faith.
You see, if the words you confess in faith for yourself or
over your loved ones are God’s own words, He says, “So shall
My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return
to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Because what
is promised to you is God’s Word, you will see the
manifestation of His promise. He will certainly watch over His
Word to perform it! (Numbers 23:19)
