Daily Confessions based on the Word of God
Thank You, Jesus, for the stripes that You took for my healing. I am healed by Your stripes! (1 Pet. 2:24)

Joyce Meyer's TV broadcast/rebroadcast shares what she understands as God's spoken Word to her, "It's not who you are talking to, that's the problem; it's the words! I have to listen to the words!"
Before that, she felt convicted/condemned/guilty when she complained/grumbled about others, so she had reverted to sharing with/confiding to her mate. God did not appreciate that. Our invisible words affect the invisible spirit world. Satan was prince of the air waves. He rides/kidnaps/empowers our negative words. Negativity is food/fodder for him. Second, we disarm God's angels sent to help/rescue us. We remove their ability to help us. Angels are empowered by the Words of God (not those spoken words that contradict Him or His nature). Psalm 103:20 KJV says, "Bless the Lord, you His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, harkening to the voice of His Word." We need to IMMEDIATELY repent and stop/refrain from negativity in thought and in speech. Then we are to immediately praise others/self/God and make a habit of speaking aloud His Word.
Joyce wrote Be Healed In Jesus Name + Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind .
She touches on the subject of spirits, which is NOT necessarily the usual cause of mental illness,
but may contribute to the harassment of the mind of a person who loves the Lord....
Joyce, on page 56, encourages us "to pray in Jesus' name. By the power of His blood, come against 'mind-binding spirits.' Pray this way not just one time but any time you experience difficulty."...
On page 96, Joyce shows the importance of persistent Scripture quoting:
| "There was a man who was sick and who was confessing the Word over his body,quoting healing Scriptures and believing for his healing to manifest. While doing so, he was intermittently attacked with thoughts of doubt. After he had gone through a hard time and was beginning to get discouraged, God opened his eyes to the spirit world. This is what he saw: a demon speaking lies to him, telling him that he was not going to get healed and that confessing the Word was not going to work. But he also saw that each time he confessed the Word, light would come out of his mouth like a sword, and the demon would cower and fall backward. As God showed him this vision, the man then understood why it was so important to keep speaking the Word. He saw that he did have faith, which is why the demon was attacking him with doubt. Doubt is not something God puts in us. The Bible says that God gives every man a...measure of faith (Romans 12:3KJV). God has placed faith in our heart, but the devil tries to negate our faith by attacking us with doubt. Doubt comes in the form of thoughts that are in opposition to the Word of God. This is why it is so important for us to know the Word of God. If we know the Word, then we can recognize when the devil is lying to us. Be assured that he lies to us in order to steal what Jesus purchased for us through His death and resurrection." (all publication credits go to Joyce Meyer Ministries) www.joycemeyers.org |
