Can the promises of Psalm 91 and elsewhere in the Word of God really be true? 🤔

Is it actually possible…

❓To have no fear of the death and destruction that’s taking place in the world touching us?
❓For a thousand to fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand, but it not come near us?
❓For no evil to befall us and no plague come near us or our home, our children?
❓For us to only observe with our eyes the devastation happening around us?

Watch “How To Stay Untouchable” with my lovely friend Erin Kirby Morar and be encouraged that it is possible to be in a place where the evil one CANNOT touch us (1 John 5:18)! 🚫🚫🚫

(Teaching starts at 5:50!)

If God says that NO weapon formed against us shall prosper (Is 54:17), that NO evil shall befall us (Ps. 91:10) and that a thousand will fall at our side and...

Are you believing God for something? 🙏🏼

Are you aware that there is an extremely vital principle in the fight of faith that may be the key to your breakthrough? 🔑

Praise God, Kelly discovered that principle and had her relationship with her estranged son fully restored! 💕

Kelly writes:

In May 2023 my youngest son decided to stop talking to me and the rest of our family. He was dealing with some past hurts and thought we contributed to his pain. My brother did the same thing to my mother when he was 18. We didn't see him for over 20 years. He had children that we never knew. During this time with my son not talking to us, my mother kept saying my son was acting just like my brother. I had to tell her to stop speaking that over my son.

From May to November I felt such sorrow. I cried myself to sleep a lot, begged God to take me to Heaven. All this sorrow and pain was too much for me to bear.

When discussing him with his father or my other children I would say things like "he's a brat, he's acting awful, how could he treat us this way." I kept talking about the problem and questioning why (things were the way they were).

In November a friend sent me Emily Preston's podcast. It was the one where Emily gives her personal testimony about her daughter being born premature. That one podcast brought conviction to me. I repented right then and there. I called my friend and a few other people and apologized for my words and for focusing on the problem and made a commitment to speak only the word over my son and the situation.

I would declare that Jamie is being restored to our family and relationships are being healed in Jesus name.

On Thanksgiving I was showing my daughter in law something on Facebook and the first post that came up was a picture of my son and my brother spending Thanksgiving together. I had an opportunity to speak the situation again and the devil made sure to point out that my brother was gone for 20 years and Jamie would do the same. I kept my mouth in check and didn't say anything.

On other occasions people asked me questions concerning Jamie and the situation and again I spoke only that our relationship was being healed and that he would be restored to our family.

On Dec 1st we were at a local pizza restaurant having a birthday party for my daughter when all of a sudden she looked at me with big eyes and said "I texted Jamie and invited him and he just responded and said he was coming."

My heart was racing and sure enough within about 20 minutes he showed up. I was crying and rejoicing. I told everyone there, you're witnessing a miracle happening. He came over to my house in a few days and we talked and all was forgiven. We've been close ever since.

I truly believe listening to Emily's podcast was what started the miracle. I needed to stop talking the problem and start talking the word and we had a breakthrough. It was a life lesson. Speak the word only. Not the problem but what does God say about it. The word works.

Glory to God! The Word does indeed work for whoever will work the Word! 🙌🏼

Through the help of the Holy Spirit, Kelly discovered one of the KEY PRINCIPLES to seeing results to her faith: James 1:26 (BSB), “If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.” 🤐

In other words, we can believe we’re in faith for something (our “religion”), but if we don’t BRIDLE OUR TONGUE, God says we are deceiving ourselves and making everything we’re doing “worthless”. 😬

Bridle our tongue from what?

From talking about the problem, discussing the problem, analysing the problem, describing the problem, and giving life to the problem with our MOUTH. 🗣️

If we want to see the promises of God manifest in our situation, we must ONLY SAY what God says (about the situation). 📖

This is a lesson I almost learned the VERY hard way when my daughter was born at 24 weeks and given a dismal prognosis.

Listen to Virginia’s testimony at the link below and let the Holy Spirit minister truth to you that may be the key to your breakthrough!

A little while ago, our cat went missing. 🐈‍⬛

It wasn’t unusual for Stanley to sometimes disappear overnight and reappear in the morning, but this time the days were ticking by and he still wasn’t showing up, and we were getting concerned. 😥

On day five, we were very worried about Stanley’s whereabouts. We had looked everywhere, asked neighbours, asked the local pound, and checked along our road in case he had been hit by a car - still no Stanley. 😰

Then I felt strongly in my spirit to start calling Stanley “home”. 🏠

I began looking out over the fields surrounding our house and saying, “Stanley, I call you HOME in Jesus’ name.” I would do this every time I thought about Stanley. 🐈‍⬛🏠

The thought would come to me, “Maybe he’s been bitten by a snake and is lying in a field somewhere!”
I would answer that thought with, “Stanley, I call you HOME in Jesus’ name!” 🏠

Another thought would come to me, “Maybe he’s been picked up by someone and taken home with them!”
I would answer that thought with, “Stanley, I call you HOME in Jesus’ name!” 🏠

Every time I thought about Stanley I would call him “home”, and I decided that even if God had to raise him from the dead I wasn’t going to stop calling him “home”. 🏠

Then, on the evening of day seven I was pulling into our driveway and suddenly, in my headlights appeared Stanley! 🐈‍⬛

He was badly injured and starving, but he was HOME. Stanley WAS NOW what I had called him TO BE. 🐈‍⬛=🏠

Romans 4:17 tells us that God “…calls those things that BE NOT as though the WERE.” 🗣️

Another translation says God “…calls things that DO NOT exist as though they DID.” 🗣️

This verse is in reference to God changing Abram’s name to “Abraham” and calling him “the father of many nations” before there was ANY PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of a child, and IN SPITE OF all physical evidence to the contrary (Abraham’s age and Sarah’s barrenness). 👶🏼

The God-kind of faith (the same faith that we’ve been given) goes beyond what’s currently seen and calls things as being so BEFORE there is any physical evidence that they are so.🗣️

In my situation, I called Stanley “home” before there was any physical evidence that he was “home” until he actually WAS home. 🏠

The Lord then reminded me that we can apply this principle to every area in our lives that we desire to see change. 💬

In spite of all physical evidence to the contrary, we can call any area of our lives that currently “be not” as though it “were”.🗣️

👤 Body, I call you HEALED in Jesus’ name!
💕 Relationship, I call you RESTORED in Jesus’ name!
🧠 Mind, I call you AT PEACE in Jesus’ name!
💵 Finances, I call you PROSPEROUS in Jesus’ name!
💸 Debt, I call you PAID in Jesus’ name!
🏠 I call my home and children PROTECTED and SAFE in Jesus’ name!
💍 I call my marriage STRONG in Jesus’ name!
✝️ I call my loved one SAVED in Jesus’ name!

What is the goal of YOUR faith? 😍

Don’t call the situation as it is, just like God, call those things that be not as though they WERE! 🗣️

Imagine you decide one day that you want to lose weight and get fit. 💪🏼

🏋️ So you go out and buy a gym membership.
👚 You spend hundreds of dollars on new workout clothes.
🎧 You start listening to weight loss experts on YouTube and podcasts share their wisdom for hours a day.
🤩 You get excited and enthusiastic for all things diet and exercise.
👏🏼 You even shout a few “amen!”s when hearing other people’s success stories.

You have all the knowledge and information you will ever need on how to lose weight and get fit! 🙌🏼

BUT unless you actually go and DO the things you have been hearing and learning - unless you put CORRESPONDING ACTION to what you have heard, you will see zero results. ❌

Likewise, many of us desire to get healed, increase financially, have peace in our relationships, walk in Divine protection, and enjoy all the blessings that God has given us by His grace. 🙏🏼

🎧 We spend hours a day listening to faith teachings and Word studies.
📖 We diligently read the Bible through three times every year.
📝 We have handwritten scriptures plastered to our fridge, mirrors, and walls.
👏🏼 We even shout “amen” every time we hear a testimony of healing or deliverance.

We have all of the wisdom, knowledge and revelation and we totally believe that God wants us blessed, healed, prosperous, and protected! 🙌🏼

BUT James 1:22 warns us that unless we are DOERS of the Word and not just hearers, we are deceiving (deluding, fooling, kidding) ourselves. 🫠

James 2:17 also tells us that unless faith has CORRESPONDING ACTION, it is DEAD (inoperative, unable to produce any results).💀

We have to be DOERS of the Word we have heard and put corresponding action to our faith if we want to see any results. 🏃‍♀️

And 2 Corinthians 4:13 tells us what the corresponding action to faith is and HOW to do the Word we have heard:

“…we BELIEVE, therefore we SPEAK.”🗣️

In other words, if we BELIEVE the Word, we must SPEAK the Word. 📖=🗣️

🗣️ If we BELIEVE “by His stripes we are healed,” we must SPEAK, “by His stripes I am healed!” (1 Pet 2:24)
🗣️ If we BELIEVE “No weapon formed against you shall prosper,” we must SPEAK, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper!”(Is 54:17)
🗣️ If we BELIEVE “My God shall supply all your needs,” we must SAY, “My God supplies all my needs!” (Phil 4:19)

And we SPEAK the Word we believe no matter what it looks like, what the circumstances are telling us, or how things appear in the natural. 👂🏼👀

Our ACTION (speaking) has to correspond to our faith in God’s Word in spite of all evidence to the contrary.

We do the Word by speaking the Word, confessing the Word, declaring the Word and standing firmly on the Word and ONLY the Word. 📖🗣️

And God promises that the doers of the Word WILL be blessed (get results!) in all that they do! (Js 1:25)🥰

That’s Good News! 🥳

For my American friends 🇺🇸❤️

A vote may count for something but NOTHING is as instrumental in transforming a nation than the fervent, effective prayer of the righteous (James 5:16). 🙏🏼

“To get nations back on their feet we must first get down on our knees.” ~ Billy Graham

God PROMISES that *if* we SAY of the Lord…SAY what He says about us (and never speak fear) then a thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand but ONLY WITH OUR EYES shall we look upon destruction (Ps 91:1,2,7).
