Proverbs 18:21- Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Hebrews 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Psalm 127:3- Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
What do all of these Scriptures have in common?
Your heart. A deep desire for motherhood dwells in our hearts. What you believe is what you abundantly speak. You see a BFN-Your heart is disappointed. You see a BFP-your heart is overjoyed. You hear bad news from the doctor-your heart is broken. Where is your desire found? In your heart. Your heart plays a major role in everything we seek in life. The Bible even warns us to Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.(Prov. 4:16) I was meditating on Psalm 127:3 a few days ago when Hebrews 11:6 came to me and showed me the connection. Faith pleases God. The reason is because everything in the Kingdom of God operates by faith. Children are a gift from God. A reward. The only thing required to receive this reward that can only come from above, is FAITH.
What you believe in your heart is what you spend the most time talking about. Matthew 12:34 says that ...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. the words that we speak don't evaporate, they accumulate. When you speak good things over yourself or others, you bless. When you speak negatively of yourself or someone else, you curse. So it is so important that while we are waiting for our BFP, we are speaking faith filled words and not negative things no matter what it looks like. I was reading this book one day and the author shared about how one day the Lord spoke to him (Charles Capps) and told him My people can have what they say if they stop saying what they have. For as long as they say what they have, they will have no more than what they say.
Before the earth was formed, there was no earth in existence. Then God spoke light, and creation into existence. When you speak the Word of God in faith, you are speaking life. That's why the Proverb says life and death are in the power of the tongue. I speak to my womb all the time and call it blessed and functioning in the perfection that God created it to function in. Romans 4:13 says that God called those things that be not as though they were. So, I do the same. When I pray over my kids, I pray over my twin boys, Joshua and Immanuel. When I say grace, I thank Him for the food and I thank Him for the twins in my womb that the food is nourishing. God knows I'm holding Him to His Word and I know that He's faithful and eager to perform it. So, I do everything I normally would as if the last test I took came out positive, knowing that my faith is working for me and it's just a matter of time before I get the real deal.
In last week's devotional, I shared some conception promises. You can take one of those promises, (or research your own if you'd like) and take it. I mean really receive it. Claim it as your personal promise from God to YOU. Once you receive it, speak it, confess it, pray it, meditate on it and conception will take place in your heart. See yourself pregnant. Talk like you're pregant. Take care of your self like you're pregnant. Once conception takes place in your heart, NO ONE can talk you out of your promise and before you know it, conception will take place in your womb. Why? Because without faith it is impossible to please God and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The reward for your faith in Him and His Word is the fruit of your womb. Not only will you conceive the baby or in my case, babies you've been longing for, but He will provide EVERYTHING you need for this gift from Him. He loves you. He's passionate about you. He wants to walk this thing out with you and bring you joy. He already gave you His Son, He would not hold back any other children from you.
Give Him the opportunity to show you how amazing His love and power is in your life.
Challenge for the Week:
Everytime something comes up that makes you wanna speak negatively, replace it with what you want to happen and thank God that it's happening. God will honor any attempt made in faith.
Example: You get a negative doctor's report or AF shows up- Instead of speaking what you see or what you worry will happen, say I thank You God that I am pregnant with a healthy baby and you are working everything in my favor. It might feel funny but the reward is so worth it.
Say it and eventually you will see it!
Confession for the Week:
My womb is blessed! My body is healthy, whole and complete-nothing's missing, lacking, or broken. I speak life to my womb and I call myself pregnant! God is faithful and He has rewarded me for my faith in Him. Thank You for this blessed child! I receive my gift from God! My marriage is blessed! My finances are blessed! The blessing is working in me, through me, for me, and around me!
Father,I pray that You open these women's eyes to Your vast abounding love and grace. Show them how much You care for them. Speak to them through your Word, people, through visions, and dreams. Show them how powerful their faith is in You. Grant them the petitions of their hearts even to the most minute detail. I call each and every woman reading this a beautiful, proud mother now in Jesus' name. There are only two things that You can not do Lord, and that is lie or fail. Pour your love and power into them and bless them for their faith in You. Thank you for all the BFP's to come rushing in like a flood. You are able and You are faithful. I thank You for all the children to come as a result of faith in You and I receive this petition done in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, Amen.
Have a great week ladies!
YOU ARE LOVED and YOU ARE BLESSED!!!
Luke 1:45,37- And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
