Psalm 45:1 (NKJV)
My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Think of your tongue as the pen that writes the script of the life you desire.  You are either speaking your heart’s desire or you are speaking the lack of its reality in your life.  Your words are either bringing the supernatural power of God into action in your life or keeping God’s power idle in your life.  Your tongue is the pen that describes with words what your future will look like.  Your life and your future will be enhanced by or limited by the words that come out of your mouth.  The outcomes that will take place in your future will be created by the words that come out of your mouth today.  You are responsible for the results your words are producing.

When you speak your heart’s desire according to God’s will, you are agreeing with God.  Living in agreement with God means living in accordance with His Word.  Living in accordance with God’s Word means believing and confessing according to who you are in Christ.  Continue to believe and confess who God says you are.  Continue to believe and confess what God says you have.  Continue to believe and confess what God says you can do.

When you are in agreement with God’s Word (believing and confessing who you are in Christ), your life will prosper with the results.  You please God when you speak words that produce prosperous results. (See Isaiah 55:11)  Speaking God’s Word always produces prosperous results!

Psalms 21:2 (AMP)
You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.  Selah [pause, and think of that]!

Pause and think about the responsibility God has taken for you to receive your heart’s desire.  Your heavenly Father has already made provision for your heart’s desire.  Next, pause and think about the responsibility you have to receive your heart’s desire.  The request of your lips will not be withheld.  Your responsibility includes maintaining a positive faith confession concerning your heart’s desire.

Your responsibility (to receive your heart’s desire) includes maintaining your confession of God’s Word; God’s responsibility includes His faithfulness.  When you continually speak God’s Word, God promises you that He is faithful to perform it (See Hebrews 10:23 AMP).  God performing His Word in your life starts by accepting God’s Word as the source of truth for your life (See John 1:1, 14).  Your faith becomes effective when you say the same things about yourself that God says about you in His Word (See Philemon 1:6).  Be sure your words remain operative by saying the same thing about you and your life that God says about you and your life.

Hebrews 4:14 (NKJV)
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

You can stay motivated when the evidence of the sense realm suggests that you are not going to receive your heart’s desire by holding fast to your confession.  You can remain inspired when it looks like your dreams are not going to come true by holding fast to your confession.  Keep on saying what God’s Word says!  This is the essence of faith; continually saying what God says regardless of what is revealed to the senses.  You reinforce your faith when you agree with God’s Word by speaking it.

You can stay motivated, and you can remain inspired, when you agree with God’s Word by speaking it.  Your success in life is going to be measured by the tenacity with which you hold fast to your confession under all circumstances, regardless of whether those circumstances are positive or negative.  Jesus said that you will have whatever you say because when you speak faith-filled words of life and blessing, it is Jesus the living Word, who is guaranteeing the efficacy of God’s Word in your life (See Hebrews 7:22 AMP).

Jesus is alive at the right hand of God as your High Priest.  A High Priest goes before God on behalf of the people.  Jesus went before God on your behalf to secure an eternal redemption for you (See Hebrews 9:11-12).  Now He waits to confirm that redemption in your life through the words you speak.

You can have confidence that the Word of God will work for you because Jesus is the High Priest of your confession – the words you say.  If you will put God’s Word in your heart and speak it out of your mouth, God will perform His Word on your behalf.  Jesus is living today to confirm the words you say when you speak God’s Word.  You can have confidence in the words you say because every time you say something that agrees with the Word of God, Jesus brings your words before the Father so He can make them good in your life.  God, your heavenly Father, is faithful to do what He has promised in His Word.

When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, He became the High Priest of your positive confession of God’s Word.  Wow – get excited about that!

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

There are two sources of information: the physical realm that can be seen and the spiritual realm which cannot be seen.  The things which are visible refer to the physical realm; the things that are not seen refer to the spiritual realm.  The physical realm was not made out of things we see.  According to Hebrews 11:3, the spiritual realm (things that are not seen) created the physical realm (things that are visible).

The spiritual realm created the physical realm.  Therefore, if the spiritual realm created the physical realm, then the spiritual realm can change the physical realm.  God’s Word and your re-created spirit represent the spiritual realm.  Faith is a product of your re-created spirit, and faith is released when you speak God’s Word.  You can release your faith with your words in order to change the course of your life.
