Dear friend,

We’ve been programmed to think the way that we think. If you’re like me, there are areas of your mind that you’d like to reprogram! God promises that He will help us to change the way we think.

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Romans 12:2 (NLT)

God created us in our mother’s womb.  He knows us intimately and understands us even better than our parents can. He even knows what we are thinking!

O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away
.

Psalm 139:1,2 (NLT)

Sometimes our thoughts don’t line up with what the Bible says.  God can help us to throw all those wrong thoughts down to the ground until they obey the Word of God!

 

. . . casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV)

Do you want your thoughts to be captured by Christ?  Tell your thoughts to submit and agree to God’s Word.

For the Word of God will never fail.

Luke 1:37 (NLT)

Praise the Lord!

Pastor Jo

Previous Weeks

Pastor Jo teaches that God pays close attention to our speech, as both the heart and the mouth are essential for transformation. Just as Romans 10:9-10 explains that salvation requires both believing in the heart and declaring with the mouth, this same principle applies to opening doors for our future. Reflecting on her own journey as a widow, Pastor Jo describes the necessity of writing down scriptures and persistently declaring God's promises even when tempted by doubt. By remaining as persistent as the "energizer bunny" and declaring that God's Word will come to pass, we can line up our future with His power. This year, don't stop speaking the truth; there is supernatural power in the Word of God to bring victory to your life.

As we enter 2026, Pastor Jo reminds us that our words act as the architect of our future, setting the boundaries for what we will experience. To walk in victory, we must refuse to project past mistakes into our future and instead align our speech with God’s promises. By meditating on the Word and following the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we access the strength and courage commanded in Joshua 1:8-9. Because the power of life and death resides in the tongue, we should never speak doubt, but rather trust in the "future and a hope" promised in Jeremiah 29:11. God has a successful plan for your year; believe His Word and speak only of the victory He has already placed within you.

In this teaching, Pastor Jo illustrates that God requires words of faith because our speech directly impacts the fulfillment of His promises. While Mary’s heart of belief allowed her to welcome the Messiah with the confession, “Let it be done to me,” Zacharias’s doubt initially led to him being silenced by the angel Gabriel to prevent his negative words from interfering with God’s plan. It was only when Zacharias aligned his speech with God’s instructions by writing, “His name is John,” that his tongue was loosed in praise. Ultimately, because words flow from the heart and hold immense weight, we are encouraged this Christmas to believe God’s promises and speak only what aligns with His word.

Pastor Jo’s teaching emphasizes that because we "get what we say," we must carefully audit our words whenever life feels out of alignment. Since our speech flows directly from the heart, shifting from confessions of lack or illness to declarations of faith allows us to move "mountains" and protect our souls from trouble. By holding fast to a positive confession and speaking with belief rather than doubt, we ensure that the reality we are creating with our tongues is one we actually want to live in.

Pastor Jo’s message teaches that our words are powerful reflections of the heart that directly shape our reality. By auditing our daily speech and shifting from "confessions" of lack or sickness to declarations of faith, we align ourselves with biblical principles like Mark 11:23. Ultimately, since we "get what we say," we are encouraged to hold fast to a positive confession, guarding our tongues to protect our souls and ensure that the words we plant today are the harvest we actually want to reap tomorrow.
