TALK FROM GOD – Pastor Chris
But he answered and 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).
In the New Testament, “Rhema” (Greek), translated “word,” is not applied to God talking but to man talking from God. It’s always about the Word that God gave to you to speak. It’s that inspired Word of God uttered by you.
I began to practice this very early as a Christian; I knew that for any situation, I needed to talk from God. Whatever God says about the situation will not change the situation in the earth unless I speak. So, when you face challenges, the first thing is to be in sync with the Holy Spirit. This alignment allows you to speak exactly the words needed at that moment to effect a change.
As you pray in tongues, tune in with your spirit and have your spiritual antennae raised to receive divine insight. Maintain this posture until you receive the exact word needed for the situation, and the moment you do, speak it forth with confidence, knowing it’s God talking through you. The Word of God in your mouth is God talking.
Remember what God said to Moses when He appointed Aaron to assist him: “Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do. So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God” (Exodus 4:15-16 NKJV). The one who receives the Word will be as God because he has the Word. And the one who speaks it forth will be as the prophet.
But imagine when both roles are embodied in one person! That was God’s original plan for Moses—to both receive and proclaim His Word—to talk from God. Practice this and use it to overcome every challenge, subdue adversaries and adversities, and live triumphantly every day.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me a “now” word in every situation by which I triumph gloriously each day. As I pray in tongues, I receive divine insights; empowered to speak your Word with boldness and confidence, knowing it carries the power to alter circumstances and change situations to align with your perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
