When John the Baptist asked if Jesus was the coming One, he received an amazing answer. John was in prison at this time for speaking against the sins of King Herod. He sent two of his disciples to Jesus and they returned with a powerful statement.


Jesus answered the question and said, "...Go and show John again those things which you do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them" (Matthew 11:4,5).


We have a beautiful picture of the Life Giver spoken of by Jesus Christ Himself. He always showed that He came to earth to give life. "Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am that bread of life" (John 6:47,48). We must believe His words to cover our life. "...The words that I speak unto you are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63B).


"But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" (Psalm 37:11).

I pray you experience the mighty truth of this verse and know in your heart and life the fulfillment of God's provision. The Lord states those who are meek  - - - - (gentle, humble - saintly) will inherit the land.

This word inherit has a powerful life changing meaning. It's to:


* occupy (by driving out previous tenants and possession in their place)
* to seize - cast out - destroy and disinherit - take possession


As the song says, go into the enemies camp and seize and take back what has been stolen from you. You can only do this if you are living a committed life and walking in His authority and peace.  

May we be committed to Him and then join together as one..."That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations" (Psalm 67:2).

I pray for you to effectively inherit many new blessings from the Lord and to revel in His peace.

This peace means:

* to be safe, happy, and well - to receive welfare from Him
* health, prosperity and peace





Please meditate on the following verses concerning the words of your mouth...

 

Proverbs 13:2, 3 "A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:  but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:  but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction."

 

Proverbs 16:24 "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."

 

Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue:  and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

 

Proverbs 21:23 "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."

 

We as believers must learn to lean the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus. This must be done with absolute truth and confidence in His Power, His Wisdom, and His Goodness.
