a mountain. We should not lose faith when we face problems or see defeated people. Among the dead, the Levites who looked after the Ark of God were also there. But Caleb had great calm and faith. Caleb has been made in the image of God. And like Caleb even we are in God’s image which is that we have power to overcome anything. David said that he had more knowledge than his teachers. What is the reason? People who meditate more on the Word of God experience victories of faith. Because God’s nature is present in them. Caleb was meditating on the miracles of God so even his strength did not decrease or change. New things will happen to all the readers. When we meditate on the word and speak our faith, the Holy Spirit who dwells in us will comfort us. We will make a mark for ourselves in the history. We may have stopped growing and progressing but it will start budding again. This means that all our enemies will be under our feet. We may be in sickness or in problems. We may feel devastated a our fate. But we have somebody in us who is greater than the one in the world. The word of Christ from this message will reach out to us and help us win. We will be made as the head. We will be exalted with fame and honour. Romans 10:10-11 says, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. In order to receive salvation, we have to confess with our mouth. Likewise, we should confess with our month for our health, finances, employment or anything else. The impossible becomes possible! We only have one means that is confessing with our mouth. The faith that does not speak is dead. This faith is the proof for all that we do not have, as if they are there. God will ful08 The Acts November 2013 fill all our words of faith. When we speak with faith, he will acknowledge us and not put us to shame. Romans 10:17 says, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. By hearing the word of God we get faith. Is this possible through Law or Grace? The mouth speaks according to what the heart hears and says repeatedly. As we read the word repeatedly, the heart which is filled with the word will speak. Before we read the message we only knew the troubles of the Israelites. But as we progressed, we came to know of Caleb’s strength. As we read spiritual messages, read the word of God and speak the word, God will release the power from us which can win over everything. God will not cause us to be ashamed and we will sing songs of Victory. When we speak the word, then God himself will work for us. He never fails as he is God Almighty. As God works with his ability and power, we will see victory beyond our imagination. Romans 12:6 says, Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; The gift of prophesy and faith - together we release faith prophesy. When we see a sick person, faith prophesies. It commands healing which will be done. Prophesy and faith are the works which are released when we read the word and meditate on it. With this power we can make the impossible, possible. We need to pray that our faith should increase. Equipped with this increased faith, we should prophesy for our normal reports. Any kind of problems will be far away from us. We will also have a great testimony of faith like Caleb. Amen!
