Introduction
One Word From God Can Change Your Life FOREVER!
When the revelation of this statement exploded on the inside of me, it changed the way I think...about everything! I had been praying for several days about a situation that seemed at the time to be overwhelming. I had been confessing the Word of God over it, but that Word had begun to come out of my head and not my heart. I was pushing in my flesh for the circumstance to change. As I made my confession one more time, the Spirit of God seemed to say to me, Why don’t you be quiet?!
I said, “But, Lord, I’m confessing the Word!”
He answered inside me, I know it. I heard you. Now just be still and be quiet a little while, and let the Word of God settle down in your spirit. Quit trying to make this thing happen. You’re not God. You’re not going to be the one to make it happen anyway!
So I stopped. I stopped thinking about that situation and began to get quiet before the Lord. And this phrase came up in my spirit: “One word from God can change anything.”
So I started saying that. I said it off and on all day. It came easily because it came from God—not from my own thinking.
Every time I was tempted to worry or think of ideas concerning my circumstances, I’d think, Yes, but one word from God...
I noticed when I’d say that, the peace of God would come on me. It was so calming. As a result, a habit developed in me. People would bring me issues. They’d say, “Well, what about....” And I’d either say aloud or think to myself, “Yeah, that may be so, but one word from God will change anything.”
It began to be the answer for everything. If I was watching television and the newscaster was telling about a disaster, and the people being interviewed were saying things to the effect of “Oh, what are we going to do? It’s all been blown away, burned up or shook up...,” I’d say, “Yeah, but one
