Joel Osteen Daily Devotionals August 9 2022 : Say It with Authority

Isaiah 55:11, NKJV

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.

There is nothing more powerful than saying what God has spoken about you. When you have God’s promises coming out of your mouth, you can’t be defeated. Even when Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He said, “It is written.” With each temptation, He went back to the Scripture and quoted what God said. When you’re in difficult times, don’t just say what you feel, what you think, or what you want. Say what God says about your situation.

Today, you can say with His authority, “I’m blessed. I’m prosperous. I’m redeemed. I’m healthy. I’m a masterpiece. I have the mind of Christ. I have peace that passes understanding. I’m more than a conqueror through Christ. My latter days will be better than my former days.” When you go around with His thoughts playing in your mind all day, you activate the power that will overcome obstacles that look insurmountable. When you agree with what God says, He’ll open doors you can’t open, and you’ll defeat enemies that are much bigger.

Father, thank You that the promises You have spoken always accomplish Your will and prosper. Thank You that I can speak words of faith that agree with Your promises and know that I have Your authority behind them. I will use my words to activate Your power in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
