So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me

void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for
which I sent it.

GOD REMEMBERS WHAT YOU SAY IN FAITH

Some years back, I had a skin condition which refused to heal. I told God about it and
began to take the Holy Communion believing and confessing that by Jesus’ stripes I was
healed. Nothing happened, or so it seemed.

But the Lord did not forget about my skin condition. One day, He prompted me to check my
body to see if it was still there. I did so and realized that it had disappeared! God had not
forgotten the Word which I had confessed in faith.

A couple in the United States who has been hearing me preach on God’s grace began to
catch a revelation of God’s love for them. They started confessing their righteousness in
Christ, and meditating on provision scriptures and declaring that they were debt free
through Jesus’ finished work. Not long after, the wife phoned their mortgage company to
make two mortgage payments on their home. They had a total of about US$80,000 left
to pay. To her utter surprise and delight, she was told that both accounts were at a  zero
balance. The company had forgiven both mortgage loans! Indeed, God did not forget the
Word that this couple had spoken in faith.

Maybe you shared God’s Word with a troubled friend a few years ago. You bump into him
one day and he tells you, “Remember that day? You said something which transformed my
life!” Your mind draws a blank because you have forgotten what you said. But God did not
forget. He remembered what you said that day in faith.
You see, if the words you confess in faith for yourself or over your loved ones are God’s
own words, He says, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return
to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I
sent it.” Because what is promised to you is God’s Word, you will see the manifestation of
His promise. He will certainly watch over His Word to perform it (see Numbers 23:19)!
