Meditate On
I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your
ways.
Psalm 119:15
Heaven
Hears, Hell Obeys!
The Bible records for us that Joshua, in the sight of the
Israelites, said, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of
Aijalon.” And miraculously, “the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till
the people had revenge upon their enemies” (Joshua 10:12–13).
What awesome authority and power in the mouth of a man!
The Bible adds that “there has been no day like that, before it or after it,
that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel”
(Joshua 10:14).
Now, why did Joshua’s words carry so much authority and
why did the Lord heed his voice? I believe that it had something to do with the
fact that Joshua meditated on the Scriptures day and night as instructed by the
Lord right at the start of his leadership (Joshua 1:8).
My friend, power in your mouth or words comes not by you
raising your fist or voice, but by you meditating regularly on God’s Word. For
example, when you meditate often on God’s promises regarding healing, faith
comes alive in your heart, and that sickness or disease will have to leave when
you say, “Get out!”
The more you meditate on the Lord’s grace and His
promises, the more they’ll become real to you until faith is effortless. Then,
like Joshua, when you speak, heaven hears and hell obeys!
