We are saved by faith – Prayer for Lent #day 15. Whatever we speak should be with faith. Anything we bind here on earth would bind in heaven. Let’s tell God to put into our mouths words of faith.
Bible Verse for Today
“Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
The word of faith is the most potent message under heaven today. That is what it takes to change, save, and bless the world and humanity. The Lord Jesus Christ preached it. The Apostle Paul preached it, and that is the message Jesus gave us to preach to the world. It is these words that we speak that stir up faith in us.
The word of faith is based on redemptive, new creation facts or realities. From the Bible text, we will see that through this faith, we will be saved. There is nothing we want to do in Christ; if we don’t do it with faith, it will be fruitless. If we believe in our hearts that Jesus died and has been raised from the dead, then it is a path that gives us access to safety in Christ.
We observe Lent, but we must do it with faith, expecting something great from God. We should never think that we are doing everything in vain.
Some people believe that the Bible is nothing but promises, from Genesis to Revelation, but upon closer examination, there are more than just promises. The Bible has more than promises.
Looking at the New Testament, there are a few promises, but many facts, some done deals. For example, the hope of our salvation, which is the redemption of our bodies slated to happen at the catching up of the saints, is a promise.
This particular one is a promise; it will not happen now – there is already a set time for it. However, when it comes to salvation, anyone who needs to get saved can be saved right now. That is because the provision has been made for that.
Anyone who wants to be healed now can be healed right now, because the provision has been made; it is a done deal. We should know how to make use of the words of faith
Prayer for Today
Dear Lord, please teach me to speak only the words of faith. Please help me to speak good things into my life and let them come to pass. I pray, Lord, that you will strengthen me and strengthen my faith in you so that all I think about is faith in you. Please help me to speak healing, and let the healing come anytime I speak it. Amen.
