A Strong Spirit Will Sustain You
27
When you’re saying that, you’re not just saying
your
words, you’re saying
His
words. Is there
life in these words? What if you said it in faith? Could strength be manifested in you?
One of the most exciting things I’ve participated in is the healing ministry. I’ve seen people who
were completely bedfast. They could barely whisper, and you had to put your ear right over their
mouth to even hear what they were saying. But after 30 minutes of doing what you and I are
about to do, they were standing beside their bed, talking so loudly that you could hear them two
doors down. I’m not talking about hearsay. I was there. I saw it. They were in the last stages of
cancer, and then after that, they got better, gained weight, and got back into the ministry. Glory
to God!
What we did then is what we’re going to do now, the same thing. So, don’t quit reading now...
Let the weak do what? “Let them say, ‘I am strong.’” Why would you say it? The strong spirit of
a man will sustain him in bodily pain or trouble. Why would you say it? While you’re saying it,
you’re hearing it. It’s feeding your spirit, and it’s nourishing you. While you’re saying it, you
believe it. You’re exercising and feeding your spirit. What’s that supposed to do to you? It will
strengthen you. It’s not theory; it will strengthen you.
Psalm 18:32 says, “It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.”
Friend, I’m going to lead you in this, and you’re going to say it, but not just to hear the sound
bounce off of your ears. You’re using your spirit. You’re using your faith. God is doing this for a
specific effect.
Say this out loud:
“It is God Who girds me with strength. He girds me with strength.”
The English Version says, “He is the God Who makes me strong, Who makes my pathway safe.”
The Living Bible says, “He fills me with strength and protects me wherever I go.”
Say this out loud:
“He fills me with strength. He fills me with strength.”
Close your eyes and say it out loud:
He fills me with strength.
He fills me with strength.
He fills me with strength.
He fills me with strength.
He fills me with strength.
He fills me with strength.
He is the God Who makes me strong.
He is the God Who makes me strong

Do you hear this at the grocery store, at the restaurant, and working beside people? What do you
hear? “Man, I feel weak today. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve just been feeling draggy and
