Good Morning Church Family,
It’s always important that our heart be filled with the Word so that our heart is allowed to speak that which is right. The Word of God leads us wherever we go. It stands guard over us as we sleep. When we awake in the morning it speaks to us. Right now this is especially true for us because the devil has the world in fear and the Word of our Lord has us in faith.
Our Heart Speaks
Our heart is the real us. We fill our self with the Word of God and allow our heart to speak.
We release God’s power with our words. When we’re full of the word, grace, confidence, trust, power is released when we speak. It’s when we deliver the Word of God with authority and command situations, circumstances or problems to change they do.
In 1 Samuel 17, we have the story of David and Goliath. We can see how David overcame the giant with a heart full of God’s Word.
The two armies were facing each other on the side of two mountains with a valley in between. Israel was on one mountain and the Philistines on the other.
Every day there was a giant named Goliath, champion of the Philistines that would come out into the valley and speak to the Israelites. He was over 9 feet tall, had a helmet of brass, a shield made of brass weighing 155 pounds and a spear weighing 19 pounds.
He would come out every day and speaks words. His words had put fear into the armies of God. He said, “Give me a man to fight. If he wins, we will be your servants, and if I win you will be our servants. I defy the armies of Israel.” When Saul and the armies heard those words they were afraid and it paralyzed them.
God needed a man who was filled with His Word to go against Goliath, but there was none. Then, God moved on Jesse to send his son, David, to check on his other sons in the army.
David set out to take his brothers some food and some special cheese for the captain. When David arrived it was the time Goliath would come out to speak the same thing he had for 40 days. David heard what Goliath said. Had not the King and the armies heard this also? Why hadn’t something been done? What was different when David heard it?
The difference was David had filled his heart with the Word of God. While he was keeping his father’s sheep David praised and worshiped God, he communed with Him. He had built himself up with the Word of God.
When David heard the words of Goliath he could not accept them. These words couldn’t enter his heart because his heart was full of God’s Word. The words of Goliath just bounced off David.
David asked, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” The men told him of the situation and that the King had a reward for the man that would kill the giant.
Some of the men told King Saul what David had said and the King sent for him. David said, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him, I will go and fight this giant.” The King said, “You are just a youth and the giant is a trained man of war.”
David said, “I have killed a lion and a bear I ran out after the lion and took the lamb out of his mouth; the lion turned on me, I caught him by the beard and slew him. I also slew the bear and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the Living God.”
David spoke his victory right there!
Mark 11:23 says, say it and you will have it.
When the two met for the showdown, the giant laughed at David and was insulted that they sent a boy to fight him.
David said to Goliath, “You come to me with a sword, a spear and a shield: but I come to you in the Name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand; and I will smite you, and take your head from you, and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.”
When the Philistine drew near David ran to meet him. David took out a stone from his bag; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. So David prevailed over the giant with a sling and a stone, and killed him. David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.
And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they took off.
The Word of God in our heart is our protection against any giant.
When we release God’s Word from our mouth it has power in it. It has the ability to go where we send it and accomplish what we declared.
When we fill our self with the Word of God and allow our heart to speak it makes wrong things right.
I Love You So
Much.

P.S. In Acts 10:38 it says how God anointed Jesus to go about doing good and healing all those oppressed of the devil. So like Jesus we’re anointed to go about doing good and healing all those oppressed of the devil.
