M't:6:33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I love the way the King James bible uses the old English, which has a flavour like no other bible.

The intention is to give us the meat we look for because we believe in Jesus Christ, and not just what we know about the Bible, or perceive to know.

Is there something more to,the words we see and read. Well we can always refer to the scriptures and see what they say with the Holy Spirit, and this "see" I am referring to is what the Soul has begun to recognise as truth . What we do with what our "Souls" "sees" and understands is what is regarded as " faith of Christ"

Ph'p:3:9: And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Ga:2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Jesus did operate and still does as God on the earth just the same way he did in Genesis

Ge:1:3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The key to the authority he has, is tied up in his "WORD"..

Joh:1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh:1:2: The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh:1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh:1:4: In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Heb:11:3: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The use of words is what God did, his words are the carrier of all things, his words contain the exact completion of his desires, God never ever said I think I want this or that. He was/definite in his professing. Jesus had confidence in what he said he did not doubt his words. This leads us to being just like him, as Christs.

So lets take a close look at the authority we have as believers.

Jas:1:26: If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

So to extract the key "bridleth not his tongue"... as a horse rider knows a bridle steers the horse exactly where he wants it to go.

Jas:3:5: Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

Jas:3:6: And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

Jas:3:8: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison

tongue is a little member....the tongue is a fire.....setteth on fire the course of nature......full of deadly poison.

Jas:3:10: Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

So we see that the tongue can be used to our advantage in life.. "mouth proceedeth blessing" .....

How do we use the mouth as a blessing, seems pretty obvious though, and I am not going to mention speaking positive things either (there is a way that seemed right)...

This World and the Spiritual World is governed by the WORD OF GOD because his WORD is spirit and is the link between both worlds. Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Heb:4:12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

For us in Christ we have been given authority, by the Spirit of God, and the authority still belongs to God, but we take this authority and use it to rule our lives and this is what we have...in the words of God

quick...powerful......sharper.......piercing.....dividing.....discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

This is where the knowledge of the Word of God should be applied to our lives so that we can be fruitful.

Joh:15:8: Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Joh:15:7: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

M't:12:34: O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

M't:12:35: A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

M't:12:37: For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Joh:15:11: These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

To extract the words highlighted we see the foundation....

bear much fruit.......my words abide in you...ask...shall be done unto you.....speak good things...abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh...good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things....by thy words thou shalt be justified...I spoken unto you....remain in you.... your joy might be full.

So it is important how you pray and when I say pray I dont only mean standing in church saying a meaningless prayer, but saying something that lines up with what Jesus has said

A lot of prayer is just hot air and wishful thinking, with a mouth that totally disagrees with what Jesus has said and done.

The key is to take the very words Jesus has uttered, and start making them your words also, as Jesus said.I am not talking about "Name it and Claim it".....

1Jo:2:24: Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

So it is important that we look at what he means "heard from the beginning"

Ge:1:26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Ge:1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Ge:1:28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

This is what God had given us from the begining

let them have dominion..... Be fruitful,.......replenish the earth......subdue it....have dominion.....over every living thing......over every creeping thing that creepeth....

Adam was the ruler on the earth and guess who he ruled over...... Satan...and Satan used words called lies to deceive Eve.....hence where cursing comes from.

God has restored this condition to man once again....."our likeness."...... now that we know what "Good and Evil" is and it is The Truth and The Lie.

The authority we have is the WORD and it is not the power of his word but the WORD of His power

Heb:1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Think of this and meditate on these scriptures how you going to speak like Jesus.

Psalms:119:130: The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

1Pe:1:23: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Even Abraham was considered to be righteous, because he did not doubt in his heart, that that which God had promised, but was fully convinced in his mind that God would do what he promised.

Ro:4:3: For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

So faith is the next key here, and how are we going to walk and talk by faith.

Ro:10:17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Ro:12:3: For I say,....... according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Heb:10:38: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

2Co:5:7: For we walk by faith, not by sight:

The key words

entrance...words giveth light....giveth understanding.....faith....hearing..... the word of God.....measure of faith...live by faith.....walk by faith, not by sight

Lu:17:6: And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

M't:17:20:............. for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

So we are getting closer to the reason of being in Christ and operating in faith.

KEY WORDS ARE

faith....say unto......Be thou plucked up by the root,......should obey you.

ye have faith......say ......., Remove hence to yonder place...it shall remove....nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Observe the importance of speaking, " say" to a situation, with the knowledge you have about Jesus

2Co:4:13: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

2Pe:1:1: Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

2Pe:1:2: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

2Pe:1:3: According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.

2Pe:1:4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

KEY WORDS HERE ARE

same spirit of faith....I believed....therefore have I spoken.....obtained like precious faith.....Grace and peace.....multiplied.....through the knowledge of God....hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life..... through the knowledge of him...given unto us exceeding great and precious promises..... by these......be partakers of the divine nature

Spelt out in plane terms we must use the "promises" when we pray and make petitions,

The power of God is his promises to us we are to learn to rely on and stand on these, to be walking in faith.

Ph'p:4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

KEY WORDS

shall......according....riches in glory

Jas:1:21:...... and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Engrafted word shows the manner in which the word changes your thinking, and if you understand "Grafting" you will know it is a growing process as your mind begins to change and rely on the Knowledge of God "of" implying from God.This is the Divine nature begining to operate in you (2Pe:1:4) hence ...be partakers of the divine nature .its a growing process.

So back to the bridle of the horse, we need to tame our tongues, and this is done by confessing the truth, the promises, and use the promises to control our lives. It is also what the Apostles learnt, after they were baptised in the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.

There are thousands of promises, and each one can be used for proclamation, in ones life and situation, and the biggest key is that the raise Jesus up onto the Throne and this is called riches in glory . The more you confess and proclaim the Kingdom of God the more you experience the..."be partakers of the divine nature".

HERE ARE SOME PROMISES

Guilt

Sick

Jas:5:14: Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

Jas:5:18: And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
3Jo:1:2: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

There are many more promises, and what we do with the promises, is our victory and strength. When you read the scriptures analyze what Jesus has done for you, take that and use it for your strength.

Speak the word of God over your lives and take it personally, and enjoy the Fruits, of Partaking of Gods divine nature.
