1 John 5:3
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

Do you talk to yourself? Do you speak to your mountains? Does your faith stubbornly
refuse to shut up? My answer is yes.

I tell myself who I am now in Christ.
I demand mountains of problem out of my sight.
I encourage and demand faith to speak to the wind.
As I place all my troubles at Jesus feet again.

Faith Speaks to the Wind

Faith watches for favor and speaks it to the wind.
Faith expects and is strengthened outside and within.
Faith climbs mountains high and hard with ease.
It soars like an eagle’s flight on heart’s knees

Faith allows the impossible to come to sight.
Faith, in the darkness shines magnificent and bright.
The negatives are no longer forefront in the mind;
Faith has left them far behind.
There is a faith left yet undiscovered,
Ready yourself, for its revelations to be uncovered.
A faith that not only, will mountains climb,
It removes them, and replaces them; with Gods design
Faith knows the One who loves them so much,
They watch for His favor…They expect His touch.
Faith is never disappointed for long,
For, the presence of hope and trust helps faith be strong.
Those faithful, trusts the One that marks their path
For, their hope and trust in His love, refuses to look back.

Prayer
Thank you Lord for the Word of God, I love the truth. I stand on its promises. Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Flower of Faith By Brenda Drake

The first word of the salvation plan planted as a seed quickly grows into wonderful faith that flowers to receive the gift the Father had always planned. What a great day, and what a wonderful gift bestowed upon us. What a privilege and honor to know He not only saved us He desires to help us each day to accomplish all we were destined to do. The only thing that will perhaps surpass the beauty of salvation will be the day I am wrapped in the arms of Jesus on the other side.

Flower of Faith

Limited is the flesh; it is moved when eyes see
But the spirit-man by faith believes.
As you begin to understand,
You will receive as the Father plans.
You will receive with heart open wide,
When the flower of faith blooms inside.
Set your heart to good things expect.
Your God has not changed His plans for great benefit.
Do what you can do, always do your best.
Do not get out of sorts and stressed.
Remember God is your divine supply,
I assure you your water never runs dry.
So great is the river that flows to you and through your life.
Many will come and take a drink of Christ.
With heart ready and mind on God’s Word,
With face set in confidence new faith occurs.
Shout from the housetops the Good News.

And God’s favor floods over you.

Hebrew 11:5
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Muscle of the Soul by Brenda Drake

When we are born again we are but babes in Christ. Life under the leadership of our Lord and by the teaching of the Word builds us stronger as we grow in faith.

Muscle of the soul

Muscles are formed when they are put to work.
It is not easy for under extra exertion they hurt.
Faith is as the muscle of soul;
When it is tested true strength is known.
Heavy trials that have been a part of your life,
Builds strength when you lift them to Christ.
It is work studying and believing God’s Word,
And standing in confidence on it firm.
When you lift the Word in your prayers,
And your testimony is with others shared;
Hope muscles are built strong too.
Faith begins to in great power move.
The hard work pays answer comes;
With God’s strength you overcome.
Trust and faith becomes fervent within.
It is never too late to exercise programs begin.
One day you will be able to tell the mountain to depart,
For God’s power speaks from your heart.
The Word of God wielded in your hand,
Chases the enemy from your land.
With faith you do not accept defeat in any way,
For you know God answers when you the Word pray.
