SPEAK THE WRITTEN WORD
The written word of God is powerful. Its power is unleashed against the enemy when we speak the word out loud. Jesus is an example of speaking scripture to Satan when He was tempted in the wilderness after forty days of fasting. Satan told Jesus to use his power to turn the nearby stones to bread to satisfy His hunger. Jesus did have the miracle-working power to do that, but he was not going to submit to anything from the mouth of Lucifer.
Jesus replied to Satan by quoting scripture to the devil. In a “it is written” statement, Jesus said to him, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4.) Satan was unable to rebut that. He had no power or authority against the word of God.
How did Jesus know that “it is written”? It is because He had read the written word from the scrolls ever since His childhood. Devout Jewish boys were expected to memorize the first five books of the written word by age twelve. They would be tested on it for their Bar Mitzvah at age thirteen.
The Matthew 4:4 quote of Jesus (also Luke 4:4) was spoken by him verbatim from Deuteronomy 8:3 which reads (NKJV) “…man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.”
In all three commands of Satan, Jesus answered by quoting the Bible. We, like Jesus, also overcome thoughts brought by Satan and his demonic spirits by speaking the word of God.
To speak it, you must first know it. That is why it is imperative to read your Bible, then follow up by a deeper study of what you read.
You can also learn by listening to teachers or preachers. However, how will you know they are speaking truth if you have not read it for yourself and studied it? What they teach should primarily be either [1] a confirmation or expansion of what you have already read at some time past, or [2] spark an interest within you to dig deeper into the Bible from what they said. Do not make the common mistake of simply taking “their word for it” because you suppose they know more than you. That is how error can easily spread and become the “perceived truth.”
Yes, even preachers or teachers can become agents of deceit and error. We are told this in II Corinthians 11:13-15. Satan can use them to mislead the church body. That is why you must know the Word for yourself rather than take someone else’s “word” for it.
Speak the word. It is your “sword of the Spirit,” (Ephesians 6:17) to destroy the works of the enemy.

ASK – SEEK – KNOCK
In Matthew 7:7 it says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
God does not want to withhold things from us. He gives good gifts (James 1:17) to His children. Yet, it doesn’t just fall out of the sky. We receive all things by faith that we ask for. We ask, then seek God’s face, and continue to knock on the door of Heaven until we get our answer.
God wants us to develop our faith to be able to stand when the fiery darts come from Satan. We must have faith to win the victory, but it comes from asking, seeking, and knocking.
We can’t give up the first time we ask when something doesn’t happen immediately. We must take God at His word and remind Him of His promises. We speak the word to Him. He loves to hear us speak His promises to Him in prayer. In Isaiah 1:18 God tells Isaiah, “Come now, and let us reason together…” This is communicating with God. Israel had fallen into idolatry, but God wanted to converse with them.
When we ask and we don’t receive an answer we must check our hearts to make sure there is no sin. This is the second part of receiving. We seek after God and keep the conversation going. If there is any sin it must be confessed. Sins aren’t always big things. It may be a proud look, or small lie. This hinders our receiving from God. Then we continue to believe the promises God has given us and continue knocking until we get our answer. We must never quit asking, seeking, and knocking.
God is a good God and wants to bless his children, but just like with our natural children we don’t give them everything they ask for because it may not be good for them, or they aren’t ready for it. God is the same with us. He knows what we need and when we need it. So, if you continue asking and seeking and knocking, He is sure to answer in His timing.
Don’t give up!

PROPHETIC WORD
HALTING BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS
I would say that this is the hour that you halt between two opinions. Would you go one way or would you go the other, for there is much to come about in the days ahead. I would say that there will be a shaking unlike any shaking that has ever taken place saith the Lord. People will be shaken to the core. Faith will be stretched beyond anything it has ever seen. Would you be of the opinion to be hot, or would you be of the opinion to be cold? Those that stay in the middle will surely be spit out of my mouth. The lukewarmness of my church has come into my nostrils and it is not a smell that I want to smell. It is a stench beyond all stenches. You have been given opportunity after opportunity to repent, and the hour is at hand where you will make your final choice. Behold, I will blow a wind upon your nation and upon this earth like a wind that has never blown. I will blow away protection from those that have turned away from me, and it will blow away things that looked like they were permanent. But I would say that I raise up and I bring down. I am in the wind, and it shall do a work, but also there shall be a wind of revival that will stir up the embers of the fire that has waned. There will be a stirring and the flames will grow brighter for those that have chosen to be hot for me saith the Lord. They shall rise up from the embers and shine like they have never shone. They shall go forth and do great exploits for I am in the wind of revival, and I am in the wind of destruction of those things that I have allowed but now am disallowing them. I would say, choose this day which side that you are on. You cannot serve two masters. You are either for me all the way, or you are against me all the way. There is no longer any middle road, for the things of darkness will grow darker, and the things of light will grow brighter. Choose wisely for this is the hour that I have said would come. It is at the door and is being released saith the lord.
