Billy Burke | – Word of the Week: 1 Samuel 17:45

“Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45)

Long before David’s stone hit the giant, his words hit the giant. The giant was already down before he was down because David’s words went before him!

What God wants for you and I, and all of us who walk by faith, is for us to be perpetually, consistently, releasing words of faith, positivity and conclusive evidence that our God is greater in spite of the circumstance that we are in and facing. Don’t just pray, believe and wait for the giant to fall. Send your words ahead and I promise it will soften the ground, and accelerate your breakthrough sooner!

When you speak words of faith – on your body, on your money, on your children, on your marriage, on your ministry – when you release those words they are not just going out into open air space. You and I are a voice in the wilderness! When John the Baptism spoke every scorpion, every snake and every demon in that wilderness heard him. God will never let your words fall to the ground.

Begin to be positive. I know it can be difficult because of what everything seems like, but if you can speak anyhow, God will cause your words to hit your giant long before your prayer is answered! You will see acceleration and breakthrough sooner rather than later!
