You have the power

Whether you are dealing with issues of bullying, abuse, poverty, dishonesty, envy, anorexia or bulimia, having difficulties letting go of our past hurt or unforgiveness and bitterness, you will find the verses of hope in the bible that you can personalize and use as prayers and declarations over whatever situation you are facing.

Revelation 12:11 says that the saints were able to overcome the Devil, “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” Again, it was the spoken word that caused them to live above the lies, slander, propaganda and accusations that threatened to destroy them. They used the power of the right words to make success a reality...

You have the power to speak to your soul, the center of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions to bring it into agreement with the will of God. This power has the ability to bring you out of darkness and despair into the light and hope no matter what. In Psalm 42, the David was in a predicament, He was depressed. He felt hopeless, so much so it was like being in a deep pit, unable to get out. No amount of counseling, no amount of money, nothing was working to lift his spirit and change his circumstances. I am sure we can all relate to that. He could not understand what was happening around him. His emotions had consumed him. 

Then finally, he spoke to his soul and asked it a question. “ Why are you in turmoil? Why do you feel this way?”

After asking the question he commanded his soul to hope in God, then he followed it up with a declaration. “I will hope in God, my salvation.” You will notice that this it was the practice of this man to make faith confessions with his mouth. Psalm 23, is a classic example:

1. Because the Lord is my Shepherd I will not lack.

2. The Lord leads me to right living.

3. The Lord restores my soul

4. I will not be afraid because the Lord is with me.

5. The Lord comforts me.

6. The Lord provides for me.

7. Goodness and mercy will follow me for as long as I live.

8. I will dwell in God’s house forever.

What declarations are you making over your life?
