God's Word Changes Things
Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak. 2 Corinthians 4:13
God created with words everything that we see. God said. "Let there be light," and there was light. Hebrews 11:13 says that everything that is visible was made from the invisible. God has blessings stored up for you in the spiritual realm that you may not be experiencing, but they do exist.
Speak positive words today, and call those things that are not (that are invisible) into your life
Romans 4:17 as the scripture says, "I have made you father of many nations." So the promise is good in the sight of God, in whom Abraham believed-- the God who brings the dead to life and whose command brings into being what did not exist.
If you face a problem today, say, "My problem is temporary. God's Word says that I am an overcomer because of Christ's love for me. Even though I don't see the answers now, God will provide for all of my needs."

Unseen Promises Exist
And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and (really) believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22
Before the fulfillment of God's promise to multiply Abram, He changed his name from Abra, ("high exalted father") to Abraham, ("father of a multitude")
Genesis 17:1-6 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right. I will make my covenant with you and give you many descendents." Abram bowed down with his face touching the ground, and God said, "I make this covenant with you: I promise that you will be the ancestor of many nations. Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, because I am making you the ancestor of many nations. I will give you many descendants, and some of them will be kings. You will have so many descendents that they will become nations.
God spoke the promise long before it was visible to anyone.
Anything that is in the Word of God is a promise that be can rightfully and legally spoken forth even before it visibly exists. Reach into the spiritual realm, that you cannot see, and pull the promises of God out of there, with the words of your mouth, and prophesy them into existence. Read God's Word and speak as the Holy Spirit leads you to do so today.

Avoid Extremes
Apply your mind to instruction and correctino and your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12
When I first became a Christ, I heard a message about keeping my mouth shut, so I made a decision that the next day I wouldn't open my mouth to say anything. I was determined not to get myself in any trouble with my words.
The next morning I did not say a word for several hours. Then somebody asked me, "What is your problem?" That made me mad all over again. Eventually I learned that extremes never make our days go right. Reading God's Word helps us find balance to face everything that comes our way. The Word says we are to be well-balanced because the devil seeks someone to devour
1 Peter 5:8 Be alert, be on the watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

Speak Positively
Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart. Psalm 51:6
Focus on speaking words in faith today; keep your confession truthful but positive. Don't deny the existence of your circumstances, but confess what God's Word has to say about your situation.
For example, if you are sneezing, coughing, and finding difficult to breathe, it isn't truthful to say you aren't sick. But you can learn to present a negative situation in a positive way. You can say, "I believe God's healing power is working in me, and that I am getting better all the time."

Appreciate Your Calling
So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another (mutually dependent on one another). Romans 12:5
Learn to appreciate the call of God on your life. he has a different call for everybody. None of us are called to do all the work that needs to be done, but we can each enjoy the assignments we are given. We can also enjoy the work God does through others.
Today holds an opportunity to mature in the knowledge of God and to enjoy whatever God has called you to do. Your part is needed. Ask God early in the day to show you where to use your gifts to help others.

Truth applied part 3
Rev Ricky Ho
For Nothing is Impossible with God
Luke 1:37 For there is nothing that God cannot do.
Hebrews 11:29-31 It was faith that made the Israelites able to cross the Red Sea as if on fry land; when the Egyptians tried to do it, the water swallowed them up. It was faith that made the walls of Jericho fall down after the Israelites had marched round them for seven days. It was faith that kept the prostitude Rahab from being killed with those who disobeyed God, for she gave the Israelite spies a friendly welcome.

Day 23, 24 & 25, October
Get Over It
Open rebuke is better than love that is hidden. Proverbs 27:5
Hiding your true feelings, like resentment or unforgiveness, keeps you in bondage to them. It is impossible to get your day started right if you keep waking up with pain from yesterday's wounds. If you carry around this kind of "emotional baggage," it will poison your day.
Sometimes you have to confront things to make them better. But use wisdom. While it is good to talk about things, don't dump all your thoughts and emotions on every person who comes along today.
Talk to God about your situation before you meet anyone. He may lead you to speak with someone you trust. But if He doesn't, learn to trust it completely to Him, and let it go.
Minister to Your Emotions
Keep and protect me, O God, for in You I have found refuge, and in You do I put my trust and hide myself. Psalm 16:1
God gave us feelings, and it is all right to minister to your emotions or to the emotions of other people. Do something kind for yourself to keep your emotions healthy; just don't be ruled by them.
Treat yourself to a hot bath or a walk in the fresh air. Do what you need to do to get emotional release. If yesterday wore you out, get refreshed spiritually and emotionally before starting a new day. Find some time alone with God, listen to teaching or music tapes, and refill your heart with an awareness of God's presence.
Find Balance
Since all this is true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard, lest in any way we drift past (them) and slip away. Hebrews 2:1
When Satan finds people out of balance, he has an inroad to destroy their lives. There are people who get out of balance in everything; from not sleeping, to sleeping too much; from not cleaning their house, to trying to keep it so clean that nobody can move in it.
Find balance; balance keeps your day going right. Satan doesn't much care if you don't do enough of something, or if you do too much of it, as long as you don't stay balanced. Take time to examine yourself prayerfully, and ask God to show you how to remain balanced.
