       The Word of God has a great deal to say about many things, and there is no shortage of help when it comes to aiding us with our individual problems in life. Remember in Ephesians 5:1 that the Apostle Paul told us, “…be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Now, if we turn all the way back in our Bibles, back to the very beginning, we find ourselves in Genesis chapter 1. We will find that God is creating the Universe, the sky, the earth, and everything that we see. But what I want you to note today is how God does this. He does this by ‘speaking’ things into existence. This is his method by which he creates new things. As we just talked about, Paul told us to be imitators of God. Well, we cannot speak new things into existence—things that have never existed in the literal sense; we just don’t have that power like God does. However, we can speak God’s own Word to our lives, to our situations, to our problems. We can speak the things he has already spoken and the power behind his Word can help us with our issues.

       It is true that we can use God’s Word to help our problems, to speak life in our lives. I’ve done this for years, and I can attest to the fact that it works. Speaking God’s Word over our lives can help us with whatever difficult situation we are facing. You may be struggling with temptation, whether it be with lust, or with envy, or even anger. You may be feeling you want success in a certain area of your life, but have had a lot of difficultly obtaining a favorable outcome in that area. You feel cursed, like you just haven’t been able to overcome. Well, the solution to your problem is found in speaking God’s Word over your problem. I’m not just talking about speaking Bible verses when we are tempted, but actually speaking verses to our actual problems. We can learn and study what the Scriptures have to say about our particular area of concern. Once we see what God says, we can then bring our thoughts and our speech into agreement with him. The Word of God has a great deal to say about many things, and there is no shortage of help when it comes to aiding us with our individual problems in life.

       My hope is that you have been seriously considering these things—and definitely thinking about how you might improve your life, which will, in turn, make the lives of those around you more enjoyable. Indeed, that’s a great benefit to improving our character. When we make ourselves better, people like us more and want to be around us more. And today’s topic is very important for us, because as we consider the power behind God’s Word, my hope is that what you take what you learn and make great advantage of it. For this final area of discussion, we are going to be talking about speaking God’s Word both to God himself, in the form of prayer, and to ourselves, for encouragement, and for overcoming sin. We all have areas in our lives, and the lives of those around us, that we want to see get better. We all have problems we are dealing with, things that we would like to see improvement on. And the good news today is that God has given us a way to deal with these problems which betters our lives in the process. Some things can seem so overwhelming to people that they feel they have no hope. But today, I want to give you hope. And this hope comes from the Word of God.

       There's no need to continue living with the weight of your sin on your shoulders. There's no need to live with regret about anything wrong you’ve done in your life. God can take that burden off your shoulders, and you can be made right with him. Not only will you be in a good relationship with him, but he also freely gives eternal life to whoever will believe in him. There will be no Hell in the future for those who accept Jesus. There is no more condemnation for them. They are free: free to live and have a new life. God will help us with all of our troubles, fears, and problems as we speak life into our lives. And God is with us now and will be with us forever in the future. If you would like to accept Jesus today as your personal Leader and personal Savior, then just follow my lead in this simple prayer: God, I have messed up in my life. I have sinned against you, and against others. I understand today that through Jesus I can have forgiveness for my sins. In Jesus' name, Amen.

He will forgive any and every offense for anyone who comes to him in agreement with him. There's no need to continue living with the weight of your sin on your shoulders.
