“Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”
JOEL 3:10
The Bible tells us that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34). This means you can’t speak anything different from what is already in your heart. One of the remarkable Minor Prophets, Joel, declared, “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” Joel’s prophecy reveals that in our time, the enemy will try to flood people with the spirit of weakness. But don’t speak according to what you feel! Some of you are quick to talk about every feeling you experience.
When you pray but still feel pain, it doesn’t mean that God hasn’t answered your prayers. That’s why God can’t use me as a vessel to deliver those who live by their feelings, because the walk of faith has nothing to do with your senses. “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong,’” means that you can change your current circumstances through your positive confessions. No matter how poor you may feel, you must declare that you are rich. If you can speak what you believe, you will become what you have spoken.
PRAYER:
Ask God to confirm the words you speak with signs and wonders.
