THANKFUL THURSDAY WITH JC

"So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11 AMP

Joyce Meyers writes in the Everyday Life Bible about the power of God's Word. She states, "God's Word is filled with inherent power. When God speaks, powerful things take place. As we read in Isaiah 55:11, His Word never returns void; it always accomplishes its purpose. When we learn to speak God's Word instead of rehearsing how we feel or declaring what we think, we are also releasing power. The Word of God spoken in faith from a believer's mouth can change circumstances. We may experience negative facts in our lives, but God's Word is truth, and truth is more powerful than facts.

God compares His Word to seed. When we plant the seed by speaking it, praying it, believing it, and acting upon it, it will produce what it says. God promises us that it will produce! Begin to speak God's Word regularly and believe what it says more than you believe your circumstances. Hold fast your confession of faith in Him (see Hebrews 4:14), and soon you will be sharing your testimony of victory with others."

You just can't go wrong with God's Word. When you don't know what to pray, pray God's Word. When you don't know how to comfort or encourage, speak God's Word. It works every time.

Father God how awesome You are; how worthy of my praise, worship and adoration. Thank You for Your powerful, life giving Word. Help me to remember to instantly go to Your Word first when the battles around me rage. In Jesus' powerful, holy and precious name I pray. Amen
