Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to participate in a day of fasting and prayer for our nation today. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse , an international Christian relief organization, believes the church needs to call upon the name of God and ask for Him to move in this country. He stressed that our nation is facing multiple crises - from a pandemic to a turbulent presidential election, and widespread racial unrest. "I am urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?" Graham wrote on Facebook. ...

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).
Joshua 1:8
reveals the power of the spoken Word. It says, “This book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth….” This is God’s recipe for success:
success in every area of your life—job, finances, health, family,
academics, etc.—is in your mouth. Jesus said in Mark 11:23,
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
mountain…and…shall believe that those things which he saith shall come
to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” He placed the premium on
words.
With the mouth, you catapult yourself into that thing that you’ve
believed. The Bible says the Word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12 NIV),
but not on the pages of your Bible. The Word is living and active on
the lips of a believing Christian! Imagine the victory of David over
Goliath: it happened because of the words David spoke. He had known from
the Word given to Israel that it was impossible for them to be
defeated, because anyone at war with Israel would have their chief
ally—God Almighty—to contend with.
However, David understood that having the knowledge wasn’t enough;
so, he followed it with proclamations. He said to Goliath, “This day
will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and
take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of
the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild
beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in
Israel” (1 Samuel 17:46). David was talking! He said again and again what would happen to Goliath, and it happened exactly as he had said!
That’s the power of the spoken word. If you don’t say it, it won’t
happen. God needs your words to act upon, because you represent Him in
the earth. His Word is forever settled in heaven; however, it’s your
responsibility to settle it in your life and in the earth through your
faith-filled affirmations. Praise God!
The Word of God is in my heart and on my lips, producing results. I
walk in peace, prosperity, divine health, protection, progress,
supernatural success and blessings today and evermore. I’m an heir of
God and a joint-heir with Christ. The world belongs to me! Blessed be
God!

|| Mark 11:23
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. ||
|| Romans 10:8-10
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. ||
