The Tongue and the Word III - Morris Cerullo

Editor's comment
if you are from the clever Western nations
if you are put off by tele evangelists and Morris in particular
if you think because you have heard the sound of these sentences, both in your head from reading and by listening to these messages....

trust me.  There is something going on in these words if you have had your spiritual ears dug out that is very very deep and is a doorway to accessing the power of God in the same way that Jesus did. 

If you are power hungry.If you are still not bedded down on the Rock of Jesus alone and His agenda and His Kingdom and His heart.....I can almost guarantee you are missing what is going on here.  Take time over it....let it change you.  The tape messages which are related material come from a 4 cassette series that I heard 15-20 years ago....and you think you have heard them, but when I recently bought a car that only plays cassette tapes, I fished them out and was grabbed in the Spirit by what is going on here. So listen to them now in the context of Galatians 2:20.  This about the faith of Jesus Christ that lives in you. HIS FAITH.   And you WILL have an experience of God in this context as you listen to the talks.
I expect fruit from all our lives...and I am really no different from you as we eat this stuff!!!!


STRATEGIES OF JESUS: HOW TO DEFEAT SATAN

Morris Cerullo

INTRODUCTION

the Bible states that God's people are destroyed because of a lack

of knowledge. (See Hosea 4:6.) One of the main areas in which believers are being defeated, due to a lack of knowledge, is in spirit warfare. `That is why I have prepared this special series of studies you. I want you to be prepared to wage effective spiritual battle the days ahead.

There is a great war that is being waged in the world today, it is not a conflict between nations, tribes, or government leaders, it is not a rebellion or coup. It is an important, invisible battle that is taking place in the spirit world. You are a part of this battle, and you will either become a victim or a victor.

The Early Church viewed their spiritual experience in terms warfare. Military terminology is used throughout the New Testament . Protection was seen in the armor of God. The Word of God is compared to a sword. Satan's attacks were called fiery darts. Faith was called the good fight. Believers were told to war a good warfare. The Early Church knew that they were engaged in an intense spiritual struggle.

The same spiritual battle continues today, but instead of fighting the enemy, believers are often building great church buildings producing musical dramas, holding fellowship meetings,and fighting one another, while this great, spiritual battle wages around them. Satan will even intensify his attacks against a church that has withdrawn from the frontlines of battle.

As the end of time approaches, it is even more important for

believers to understand spiritual warfare than in the early days of church history. The Apostle Paul warned: THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come (II Timothy 3:1).

Luke 14:31 says: Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? No king ever entered into a battle without a careful examination of his resources and development of battle strategies.

This year(2000), through the Strategies of Jesus and Strategies of Satan series, we are making a careful evaluation of the strategies, weapons, and power that are available to us to win the war against our enemy, Satan.

 In the military world, a strategy is the science of forming and carrying out military operations. It is the method or plan which leads to the goal of victory.

This month, you will learn how Jesus confronted Satan and defeated Him through the power of His Word. You will also learn:

1. how to face Satan, knowing you are invincible through the power of the Word;

2. how to face Satan, knowing that the living Word is in you; and

3. how to confront Satan, speak the Word, and drive him out! Faithfully,

God's servant,

Chapter 1

JESUS CONFRONTED

SATAN AND DEFEATED HIM

THROUGH THE MIGHT

OF GOD'S WORD!

Last month, we learned how to position ourselves in the power of Jesus' Name, how to defeat Satan in the power of Jesus' Name, and how to go forth in the power and authority of Jesus' Name to take dominion over sin, sickness, and condemnation.

We now will continue with the strategies that Jesus used to defeat Satan and learn how He confronted and defeated him through the power of His Word. Jesus spoke, and Satan fled, the winds and sea obeyed, demons trembled and obeyed, blind eyes saw, lame legs walked, deaf ears heard, mute tongues were loosed and framed words of speech, and dead souls came back to life.

The powerful strategy of speaking the Word enabled Jesus—the mighty Warrior—to enter Satan's territory and destroy his strongholds with the sheer force of the Words that came out of His mouth.

Knowing that He had been commissioned, anointed,and sent forth by God to destroy the works of the devil, everywhere encountered the works of the enemy, He confronted Satan and took authority over him by speaking the Word.

Never did Jesus pray for a sick person or for a demon person—not one time! When the sick and dying were brought to Jesus, He did not pray to the Father. He did not ask Father whether it was His will to heal them. He did not beg the Father to please heal them

There was no need for Jesus to plead with or beg God to heal or deliver people from the power of Satan. He knew that it was God's will to heal, deliver, and set free all who were oppressed, afflicted, tormented, and possessed by Satan.

Whenever Jesus saw those who were bound in some way by Satan's power, He took aggressive action. He confronted Satan. He did not stand by, with His hands folded, or wait for God to do the work. He knew that God had anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and had given Him authority over Satan. Jesus had been given dunamis, the miracle-working power of God to deliver the people from Satan's hands.

When Jesus confronted the power of Satan, He did not speak His own Words. He spoke the Words' that the Father instructed Him to speak. He cried out:

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting.• whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

John 12:49-50

Jesus also said: ... the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Fathers which sent me (John 14:24) and ... My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me (John 7:16). When He spoke the Words that the Father hadgiven Him to speak, He did not doubt or wonder whether what Hespoke  would come to pass. He knew that He was speaking forththe  Words of Almighty God. He knew that God's Word was all ­powerful and would come to pass!

The Father said: ... Let there, be, light.- and there was light (Genesis 1:1-3 God spoke through Isaiah to the nation of Israel, saying:

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bringforth and bud that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater so shall my word be that goeth.forth out of my mouth.- it

shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11

God wanted Israel to know that the Words that He spoke were not dead, empty, useless words. His Words were filled with life. They were powerful and would produce the results that He desired. They would fulfill His purposes on the earth.

Jesus knew that the Words that God had given Him to speak were full of life. He knew that when those Words came out of His mouth, they would produce the results and fulfill the purposes that God had intended for them.

JESUS DESTROYED SATAN'S
STRONGHOLDS BY SPEAKING THE WORD.

Jesus told His disciples: ... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63). The very Words that were coming forth from Jesus' mouth were given to Him from God. They were alive. Within them was the power necessary to make them come to pass. Within His Word was eternal life, healing, deliverance, love, peace, happiness, and all that God had originally purposed for mankind to enjoy upon this earth.

Jesus taught on hillsides and in synagogues. The people were ... astonished at his doctrine.-for his word was with power (Luke 4:32). Even the demons recognized the power and authority of JesusWord, and they obeyed it.

On one occasion, Jesus was teaching in a synagogue in Capernaum. There was a man there who was possessed with an unclean spirit (a devil). The demon spirit cried out of the man: ...Let us alone what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art the come to destroy us?I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God (Luke 4;34)

Jesus was not afraid or intimidated.he did not flinch,but confronted His enemy. He spoke the Word. And Jesus rebuked him, saying , Hold  thy peace and come out of him. And when the devil

had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. And they were all amazed ... (Luke 4:35-36).

When Jesus spoke these Words, the spirit had to obey. I can almost see the mouths of the people drop open when they gasped in amazement:

And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. And the fame of it went out into every place of tbe country round about.

Luke 4:36-38

On many other occasions, they brought the sick and demon-possessed people to Jesus:

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Matthew 8:16-17

The evil spirits were powerless before Jesus. With just one Word from His lips, He cast them out. Everywhere Jesus went, He confronted the power of the enemy, spoke the Word, and destroyed Satan's strongholds in the lives of the people.

n To the leper, Jesus spoke the Word: ... be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed (Matthew 8:3).

n To the man at the pool of Bethesda—who had been paralyzed for thirty-eight years— Jesus spoke the Word: ... Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And inmediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked ... ( John 5:8-9).

n To the woman with a spirit of infirmity—who had been hunched over for eighteen years Jesus spoke the Word: ... Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God (Luke 13: 12-13).

n To the man—who was deaf and had a speech impediment—Jesus spoke the Word: And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech ... And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue ... and saith unto him ... Be opened And straightway his ears were opened, and the string ofhis tongue was loosed, and he spake plain (Mark 8:32-35).

n To the blind beggar, Jesus spoke the Word: ... Receive thy sight... And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God ... (Luke 18:42-43).

n To the widow's son—who had died and was being carried away to be buried—Jesus spoke the Word: ... Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all... (Luke 7:14-16).

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

JESUS' WORDS WERE LETHAL WEAPONS.

Like a mighty warrior engaging the enemy in combat Jesus confronted Satan with the Words from His mouth. His Words were powerful, lethal weapons that hit their mark and drove Satan out.

One of the greatest confrontations between Jesus and Satan; happened at the beginning of Jesus' ministry. Read Luke 4:1-15In. this battle, Jesus clearly revealed how we can face Satan in every trial,every temptation, and every attack for a 100 percent victory.

Following His baptism in the Jordan river, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. There, He spent forty days in prayer and fasting. He communed with God, sought divine direction and prepared Himself for the work that He had been commissioned to do. During Jesus' time in the wilderness, Satan came to Him, and the battle was on.

We do not know in what form Satan appeared to Jesus. However, as he looked upon Jesus, he recognized Who He was . There, standing before him, in the form of human flesh, was the all-powerful Son of God. Jesus had been with God from the beginning and had watched Satan get thrown out of heaven.

Satan knew that Jesus had been sent forth and commissioned by God to defeat him. He came to Jesus in an attempt to stop Him from fulfilling God's will. Jesus knew who Satan was and why he was there. He knew that Satan was a deceiver and a liar, who had come to tempt Him to sin against God.  This was not a chance meeting. Jesus was not taken by surprise. He was prepared.

Jesus knew that He was the Son of God, that He was called to defeat Satan, that He had been anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit, and that He was standing in the authority of the Name of Almighty God, with all of heaven backing Him up.

... with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out (Luke 4:36). 'Me Greek word for the English word authority is exousia, a, and it means "the right to exercise power." Power is translated from the Greek word dunamis, which is "the miracle-working power of God." Put it all together and we have "the right to exercise the miracle-working power of God."

Notice the strategy that Jesus used to win this battle. Satan attacked Jesus three times, tempting Him to sin against God. Jesus took authority over Satan three times, speaking the written Word of God against him.

1. Satan challenged Jesus to prove that He was the Son of God by turning a rock into bread. Jesus had been fasting for many days and was probably hungry. Satan appealed to his human heed for food. Jesus said: ... It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth  of God (Matthew 4:4).

2.Satan again challenged Jesus to prove that He was the Son  by throwing Himself off the roof of the temple. He even quoted Psalm 91 to Jesus to entice Him religiously, as if it was God speaking. Jesus said: ... It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God (Matthew 4:7).

3. Satan made a final attempt to tempt Him by promising to give Him all of the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would bow down and worship him. Jesus knew that Satan was a liar and a deceiver. Jesus said: ... Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve (Matthew 4:10).

When Jesus spoke the written Word of God, Satan had to retreat because God said: So shall my word that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

Jesus confronted Satan and defeated him by speaking the written Word. God has planned for you to do the same. He has planned for you to confront the enemy wherever you may find him. By speaking the Word, you will destroy his strongholds and conquer him, in the power and authority of the Holy Spirit!

God sent forth His Word into the earth, and it will not return unto Him void. He has planned for His Word to be in you. When you speak it forth, it will be a mighty weapon that will drive the enemy out of your life and circumstances. When you speak God's Word, it will be a devouring flame to consume the enemies of God, the same as the promise. God made to Jeremiah, the prophet: ... Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them ( Jeremiah 5:14).

When you speak God's Word, it will be a crushing hammer, breaking down the obstacles and hindrances that Satan has placed in your way: Is not my word like a fire? saith the LORI); and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? ( Jeremiah 23:29).

God is a God of plan, purpose, design,and objectivity . he has planned for you to be conformed and transformed by His Spirit into the express image of Christ. (See Romans 8:29.) He has planned for you to think, walk, talk, and act the way Jesus did while He was on this earth. He has planned for you to:

• Speak the Word, and see blind eyes opened.
• Speak the Word, and see the lame walk. 
• Speak the Word, and see deaf ears opened. 
• Speak the Word, and see tongues loosed. 
• Speak the Word, and see demons obey.
• Speak the Word, and see the dead raised to life.

You are a child of the living God, and this is your heritage. You may be thinking that Jesus was able to perform all of these miracles by speaking the Word because He was the Son of God. However, this is no more true of Jesus than it is of you or me. Through Christ, We have been made sons of God and made joint-heirs with Him. We have been entrusted with the same power and authority that Jesus was entrusted with.

Yes, Jesus was the Son of God, but He did not draw upon His divine abilities to heal the sick, cast out demons, or do any of the other miracles that He did. When He came to earth, He humbled and stripped Himself of His ability to be all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere present. He was still divine, but He was God in the flesh

Jesus taught ,healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, cast out devils,and raised the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. (See Luke 3:16.) Jesus was sent forth to

to destroy the works of the devil.

While he was on earth, Jesus sent His disciples in the power in the power and authority of His name. He commanded them to: Heal the sick,

cleanse the lepers ,raise the dead,cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give They rejoiced  saying:

Lord even the devils are subject unto us through your name. And he said  to them, behold i saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold I give to you power to tread on serpents and 

scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Luke 10:17-20

The disciples received a breakthrough of revelation knowledge of the power and authority that Jesus had given to them through His Name. Do you think that Jesus would have sent them forth and commanded them to do something that they would not be capable of doing?

Jesus gave the disciples His power and authority and sent them forth in His Name. They did not go in their natural strength. They did not speak the Word of healing and deliverance in their own power. They simply acted in faith upon the Word that Jesus had spoken to them, and it was done!

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I

please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

THE EARLY CHURCH CONFRONTED SATAN, SPOKE THE WORD, AND DEFEATED HIM.

Before He ascended into heaven, Jesus gathered His disciples together and sent them forth to preach, teach, make disciples of all nations, heal the sick, cast out devils, and raise the dead . HE DID NOT expect them to go forth in their natural or physical strength. He gave them the same power and authority that He had while He lived on earth. He told them to go into Jerusalem and wait there until ye be endued with power from on high (Luke 24:49).

On the day of Pentecost, 120 disciples received the baptism of  the Holy Spirit. They left the Upper Room witl the same dunamis miracle-working power of God, and the same exousia authority to exercise  that power that Jesus had.

Immediately, Peter began to speak the Word under the power and anointing of the Holy  Spirit: "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls (Acts 2:41).

The disciples did not sit back, with their hands folded, and wait for God to do all of the work. They took aggressive action. Knowing that they had been anointed by the Holy Spirit, and had been given authority over Satan, they confronted Satan wherever they saw people bound by his power.

Peter, on his way to the temple to pray, saw a lame man, lying by the temple gate begging. He spoke the Word: ... Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk (Acts 3:6). He lifted the man to his feet, and instantly, the man was healed.

In Lydda, Peter found a man who had been bedridden with the palsy for eight years. He spoke the Word to him. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately (Acts 9:34). Aeneas got up out of his bed, and as a result of the miracle that was done in his body, there was a great revival. And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord (Acts 9:35).

Later, in Joppa, Peter came to the home of Dorcas, who had died. he went to the room where they had lain her dead body. He knelt down beside the bed and prayed. Then, he turned to the dead body

and spoke the Word to her: ... Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and where she saw Peter, she sat up (Acts 9:40).

SATAN HAD TO RETREAT!

Satan working through the high priest, scribes, and elders, tried to stop the disciples from speaking the Word. They were put m prison, beaten and commanded not to speak at all or teach any

more in the name of Jesus. They had something within them that was alive The Living  Word was in them, and they could not keep quict.They had to speak the Word.They had to speak the name Jesus. They told the high priest and the elders For we cannot but speak the things which we have, seen and heard (A ct s 4:20).

The disciples could not stop speaking the Word. Regardless of what Satan was trying to do to stop them, they could not and did not stop speaking the Word. They continued to speak with boldness, and as a result: ... the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith (Acts 6:7).

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).

GOD IS NOT DEPENDING ON OUR LIMITED STRENGTH

Are you hearing what the Spirit of God is saying to you today? Through the power and authority of the Holy Spirit, Jesus spoke the Word. Blind eyes and deaf ears were opened. Demons were cast out. The dead were raised. Water was turned into wine. Humans walked on water. Stormy winds and waves died to calm. All of these miracles happened through the power and authority of the Holy Spirit.

Believers in the Early Church spoke the Word and saw the same results. Through the same power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, God has planned for you and me to do the same. Say out loud: I am a part of God'end-timeplan. God has not

 planned any defeats for me. This is my year of new beginnings. God wants me to confront the enemy and speak the Word, destroy his strongholds, and conquer him, in the power and authority of the Holy Spirit!

What I am sharing with you in this lesson is more than just a theory. It is not a man-made theology. It is not just psychological verbiage. It is part of God's plan for your life. I realize that spme of you may think that this is only for super-human Christians

who have reached a certain spiritual plateau. You may not think that you are spiritually strong enough
You may not think your faith is strong enough to be able to speak the Word and see the lame walk or the blind see.

God's Word is not vulnerable. He is not depending upon a faith that you can somehow develop. He is not depending upon whether or not you can demonstrate enough super-faith to produce a miracle. God's Word remains true, regardless of whether or not some do not

believe it. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the

faith of God without effect? God forbid.- yea, let God be true, but every
man a liar ... (Romans 3:3-4).

the faith and power are in the Word. When you are faithful to speak it forth, it will be done! Jesus said:

Verily, verily', I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also: and greater -works than these shall he do;

because I go unto my Father.And shall ask in my name, that will I do-- that the Father may be glorified in the Son. -If ye shall ask any thing in my Name, I will do it.

John 14:12-14

Jesus did not limit the working of miracles to those who had developed a great faith. He said: ... He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also ... (John 14:12). He also said: ... If have faith as a grain of mustard ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).

God has planned for you to speak to the mountains that are in your way. Speak to the mountains of sickness, financial need, and family problems, and see them removed. He said that even if you only have faith as small as a tiny grain of mustard seed, you will be able to do it.

I am not trying to minimize the importance of faith. Faith is one of the powerful weapons that God has given to you to defeat Satan with. What I want you to see is that too many Christians today are depending on the power of their own faith, instead of depending on the Word of God and the faith that it will impart.

Read John 14:12-14 again. Circle the word ask. The word ask in these verses is not referring to praying. Jesus was not talking about pleading or begging. The word ask in the original Greek means "to make demand on something due."

When Peter spoke to the lame man, he was not pleading, begging, or asking. He was commanding. He was instructing. He was ordering. When he spoke the words ... In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk (Acts 3:6), he was taking possession of and commanding the healing that legally belonged to the man to be loosed into his crippled body. Because Jesus won the victory over Satan, this man's limbs received strength, and he was instantly healed.

You have been given the same authority to speak the Word with power. As He is now in the world. so are we in this world. We are the children of the living God. k See I His 3:1.) God sent forth His

Word into the earth. He has given us His infallible, impregnable, and 

everlasting Word. It will not return to Him void. He has planned for it to increase and multiply, until the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord. (See Habakkuk 2:14.)

The disciples had something within them that was compelling them to speak. They said: For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard (Acts 4:20). Like Jeremiah, the Word must become like a fire that is shut up within us. We will not be able to contain it but must speak it forth. (See Jeremiah 20:9.) Everywhere we go, we must go forth as Jesus did. We are commissioned, anointed, and sent by God to speak the words of life, healing, and deliverance. 

THE POWER IS IN THE WORD.
SPEAK IT FORTH, IN JESUS' NAME.

Let's take the mask off'. In the Church today, Christians have been taught to confess the Word and speak the Word, but few are experiencing the same results that the Early Church experienced. Why is that?

Satan knows the power of the Word. One of his strategies is to stop God's people from speaking forth the pure, unadulterated Word of God. He does this by twisting or perverting the Word with man-made doctrines and theology. There are Christians today who are following these man-made doctrines. 'They are confessing and repeating scriptures, but they have not yet had a revelation within

their spirit of all that the Word is or of the unlimited power that is contained in the Word.

Too many Christians today are too lazy or too involved in the cares of this life to get the written Word of God in them. As a result, they are not living their lives based on the pure, unadulterated Word of God, and although they may be repeating and confessing certain scriptures, they are not seeing the results that they should be seeing.

Speaking the Word is more than memorizing and repeating. It is not based upon following a specific formula certain scriptures. is following man-made doctrine. The purpose of speaking or confessing the Word is not so that Christians can satisfy their personal desires by claiming sports cars, mansions. or other materialistic blessings (though it is 100 percent God's for you to be blessed). 

We must have a confession of faith, but it is more than just being able to use our lips to confess the Word. We must use our lips to confess the words that are anointed with the power that comes from experience. We must have a revelation of the Word.

Speaking the Word involves speaking the written Word of God and also speaking the words that God directs you to speak. It involves speaking the words of healing and deliverance, in Jesus' Name, under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the way the Early Church believers did.

This month, study and apply this lesson to your life. You will receive a revelation of all that the Word is and all it represents. You will see the unlimited power that is in the Word. By the time you

finish this lesson, you will be able to confront the enemy by speaking

the Word and destroying Ha strongholds in the circumstances in your life.

When you study this lesson, focus on your needs and the circumstances you may be facing right now. If you have a need to be healed physically—whether it be sugar diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach trouble, ulcers, bladder conditions, deaf ears—focus on it. If you have family problems or financial needs, focus on them.

God's Word is not void of power. The power is in the Word to heal your body and mind, mend your family's rifts, and overcome

any financial difficulties you may be experiencing. The power of the Word will meet you at the point of your need. Receive the written Word of God through this lesson. Reach out by faith, and take that Word. Grab it, and take whatever you need. It is written: He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them ... (Psalms 107:20).

Remember—God has not planned any defeats for you! He has given you His Word. When you speak it forth, you will be victorious!

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth.- it shall not

return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it

shall prosper in the thing whereunto  I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).
