“Put
yourself in a position to receive God’s best for you by speaking His Word.
God’s creative power is still just as it was in the beginning of time, when He
stood there and said, “Light – be,” and light was. His Word spoken from your
mouth and conceived in your heart becomes a spiritual force releasing His
ability within you.
Man was created
in the image of God and His likeness. Learn to speak His faith-filled words to
your situation and see your life transformed. Allow God’s creative power to
flow from you.”
