A Prayer to Activate God’s Blessings

 “The power of life and death are in the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
Proverbs 18:21

Ill. When God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let His people go, the first thing Moses said was, “Who am I to talk to him?” He started making excuses that he had this speech impediment and God said, “Who made your tongue?”

Quit telling Me what you are not.

Ill. If you can’t be positive – at least be quiet.

In Luke 1 an angel appeared to Zachariah. He said he and his wife Elizabeth would have a baby (Jn Baptist). Zach and wife were up there in years and it did not seem likely. He said to the angel, “Are you sure this is going to happen? You realize we are older and it doesn’t seem possible. The angel said, “I am Gabriel and I stand in the presence of Almighty God and whatever God says comes to pass!

          God knew if Zach continued to speak doubt it could stop the plan so told the Angel to tell him that he would remain silent until the baby is born. For 9 months he could not speak – until it happened.
