See, Speak, Receive!

I am beautiful. I am healthy. I am fit. I am rich. I am wise. I am patient…. These are just a few of the declarations that have become a part of my daily routine after prayer, Bible reading and after hearing from the Lord while reading “The Fourth Dimension” by Dr David Yonggi Cho. As a natural creative and a person of faith, I strongly identify with the revelations in this book. I recognise that having a vision proceeds the manifestation of that vision and I realise the battle to rid oneself of negativity is crucial.

I am Audra. Author of “How To Dress For Your Body Shape”, “Unchained” and the WordChat Blog. I founded Style By Audra, with a passion to help women see themselves through the best light. God’s light. I believe in God’s light, we can be transformed to the image He holds for us in His mind, the blueprint from creation. This image is perfect, full of grace and love. It is unique and whole. This is my passion, my destiny and my work. To see as God sees and cause others to see as He does.

Without vision, people perish. (Proverbs 29:18). The Bible is a highly underrated book that seems to declare life transforming knowledge with the greatest understatements. For example, “…as he thinks in his heart, so is he….” (Proverbs 23:7) subtly delivers a most critical universal truth. You will have what you think. “Think” here can be translated to “Imagine”. We are visual beings. We think in pictures in our minds, rather than words. We write words to convey a picture, but a picture alone can convey a thousand word. Our imaginations vastly outperforms our words. We say and write so much less than we think or imagine. This is why we must understand that the cradle of the life we live begins in our minds.

In Dr Cho’s “The Fourth Dimension”, he reveals battling against the imagination that was given him to perform miracles because he could not believe them. He even thought they came from a dark place. Through much prayer and seeking the Lord, He was shown that what he was experiencing was the revelation of what the Holy Spirit desired to do in His church. Heal the people! Once Dr Cho became convinced of this truth, he began by speaking out the smaller healings as the Lord revealed He was doing within the church congregation. He declared God’s healing from headaches, colds, and other “smaller” ailments until he had enough faith to declare and speak out healing from cancer, disabilities and other “bigger” ailments.

What struck me the most about all of this was not the miracles that Dr Cho saw in his congregation, but the fact that by his own admission, he had not believed God, did not have faith and had resisted for a while until he obeyed and saw the fruit of his obedience. Many times, we think we have missed the boat when it comes to the things God has shown us on the inside. We allow negativity and unbelief to compete with the work the Holy Spirit is showing us He wants to do on the inside. At some point, we need to banish doubt, fear and unbelief, and act in faith of God’s word.

It begins with a vision on the inside. A thought. An imagination. As Christians, we learn to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and then in His light to evaluate whether those thoughts are of the Lord or not. (II Corinthians 10: 4,5). When they are of the Lord, He will reveal it to us if we do not give up. If they are not of God, they will be exposed by the word of God as we seek Him.

One thought that I can irrevocably tell you today is not true is that you are not loved. Why is it important to know this not true? Because every imagination flows from knowing that you are loved by God. Knowing you are loved by God is intertwined with the knowledge that God exists and rewards those who trust in Him. (Hebrews 11:6). This is how you please God. This is how you birth good imaginations and thoughts and this is how you call these imaginations into your reality. This is how you win!

Jesus said we will have what we say, if we believe (Mark 11: 22 – 24). What are you believing, imagining and speaking over yourself, your loved ones, and your circumstances? You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Are you speaking that, or are you speaking comparison and lack? Are your words beautiful? Can they dress you in regal robes of grace?

Today, make a choice with me. Speak life. Speak health. Speak strength. Speak beauty, and you will have what you speak in faith in Christ. If you have not known, believed or understood who Christ is, He is your saviour, God and the King of Kings. He loves you and went to the cross for you to have eternal freedom and salvation in Him.
