Now, more than ever, we want to be mindful of what we are saying. I have been studying and meditating on Mark 11:23-24 scripture for quite some time now.
Another similar scripture we often refer to is Proverbs 18:21 – death and life are in the power of the tongue and we shall eat the fruit thereof. Think about that. Come on now, somebody!
We all seem to like to quote this, but do we honestly understand and believe this? Because if we do, then what we speak will and should drastically change. This is some powerful Truth people of God. Life and death. We shall have whatever we say…
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. (EMPHASIS MINE)
BELIEVE AND RECEIVE
Another significant part of this is verse 24, which says we are also to “believe that we have received what we have prayed, and then we shall have it!”
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. This is also a key in faith and receiving!
One of the most important times for us to remember the power of what we speak is when we are going through a trial. John 10:10 says that the enemy (devil) comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Like many of you, the enemy has attacked me at times and it just proves and shows he is immensely terrified of you and me walking out our calling and purpose that God has for our lives! You may say, but why me? Well, may I submit that it’s actually CHRIST in you!
So I want to encourage any of you who are going through heavy stuff right now. Apostle Peter put it this way in 1 Peter 4:
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
I know that, for us at times we are surprised; well, Peter admonishes us not to be surprised and to actually recognize this as God’s glory upon us and to then rejoice! Phew!
THE DEVIL IS AFRAID OF CHRIST IN YOU
The devil is afraid of the glory of Christ in you. He shows this when he relentlessly attacks. He would not bother if you were not a threat to his kingdom. The glory of the Lord rests upon YOU Beloved. Let that truth sink in today.
As Believers, we are the ones that can invoke change. We are the ones that the Lord, in His amazing grace, has given authority to trample on all the evil works of the devil in the Name of Jesus.
We are the ones who can speak in the Name of Jesus knowing that every knee must bow and confess that Jesus is Lord. We are God’s Beloved filled with the Greater One in us. Of course the enemy is trembling, he knows his time is short.
KEEP STANDING FIRM
Our job is to keep pressing in and forward with our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Meditate on His Word, pray without ceasing, speak out and decree His Word (now more than ever) no matter what it looks like or whatever is thrown at us.
Keep standing like the Word says. Exercise your authority in Christ, and when you have done all to stand, stand therefore, having put on all the armor of God securely. Keep declaring and decreeing the word of God in Jesus’ Name.
Stay sober and keep steadfastly praying for one another, Bride of Christ, and let us not forget that the last part of John 10:10 is that the Lord has come that we may have life and life to the fullest! We Win!

Sybella Owens
Dr. Wakhungu, I am SO sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved wife and mother all in the same month. It truly is amazing what the Lord can bring us through and how we are nothing without Him. How people in the world today are living without Jesus is astounding, but most don’t know or understand that there is a true Living Hope in Jesus and that He is our very Life! May the Lord comfort and strengthen you as you walk through the process of this loss and may He restore to you 1000x over to His glory in Jesus Mighty Name Amen
Sybella Owens

The year started well. My wife, Hellen, and I were optimistic of the things God was doing!
I remember Hellen telling me that “God is going to bless our ministry and family”!
On 14th January 2018, shortly after exhorting the Church, my wife of 24 years dropped and died in our church. She is a mother of our three children.
On 2nd February 2018, my mother, Susan too died!
I wonder how I would have coped without God after I lost my two precious people within one month!
I praise the Lord because I know the He has good plans for me and my ministry. The fact that I don’t understand what He is doing does not mean that He is doing nothing.

To God the glory!!! This is exactly the kind of teaching I have been searching for….It is right teaching. The Word should be written on our hearts…we need this more in the body of Christ. Ever since I have found you and heard you teach…my spirit leaped…I knew you in the spirit…God bless you dear Sybella.
Avril
Love what you say. Sooo confirms what has been on my heart Blessings xxx
