Good Morning Sunshine! There is Power in Your Words!

Proverbs 18:21 ~ “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

 What did you say to yourself this morning?

God spoke the universe into existence with a Word! So, this should tell you just how important what you say is, it can cause life or death. Never underestimate the power of words, one Word from God can change your life! No longer can you listen to the enemy’s voice; you must know God’s Voice at all times, (John 10:4)! Let God’s Word be adopted into your hearing, and then go to your mind and then into your heart before you act on it. Let your faith be increased that His promises to you are clear, and that you know that you will live and not die declares the Word of the Lord! My desire is that you are so hungry for the Word of God that that is the only thing that will quench your thirst, His Word!

When you recognize that what you say is half the battle, the power is in how you say it and how you receive it. You have a choice every day in what you will and will not say, choose your words carefully, you cannot pick them back up and put them in your mouth again, once they are out, they are out, and you will have to deal with the consequences of what you said and what was said. Are you prepared for that? Words will either build up or tear down, pray before you open your mouth and say that thing that you are thinking, because that thing that you are thinking can be a good intention, but it can also cause you to want to bite your tongue to hold it in or wish you had not said it at all. And just know that you cannot do this on your own, you will need the help of Jesus Christ, for your tongue, on it lives poison and everything evil, James 3:8, “but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.”

Be mindful over the words that you say and the words that are spoken over you because it can cause life or death to you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and God wants you to be free. If someone has spoken a word over you that did not bring life to you or you have spoken a word over someone or yourself, it is time to ask for forgiveness, 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Confession means to own it and accept it! It is time to ask God for forgiveness and then it is time to forgive yourself so that you may be free, to live and not die. God is not looking for an explanation from you or information, He wants you to surrender to Him and His Will, He wants you to agree with Him for what is best for your life and not what you believe, let His forgiveness cleanse you inside and out! Remember that when it comes to prayer, one word can be life changing, and His Word will bring you life and you will have life more abundantly! Exchange your old words for the new Word of God!

Today, I want you to open your mouth and tell God how much you love Him and if you have backslidden or know someone who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then give them the Word of God, Romans 10:9-10, If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” Do you see what happened, you opened up your mouth and made a declaration, and your life changed because of the Word of God. Continue speaking His Word over your life and watch what comes to pass, as your life changes!

Let’s Pray:

Father, Thank You! Thank You for Your Word! Father, as I start this new year, I want You to fill me to overflow with Your Word and show me how to speak and declare Your Word every day over my life and in those that are connected to my life. Father, I desire to know You better and to be strengthened as I live one day at a time in Your Presence every day. Father, every Word that you have spoken over my life has been life changing. Thank You Father, You changed my language so that my life would change! Father, forgive me for any word that I have said up to this present moment that did not build someone up or even myself, Father, I don’t want to speak words that bring death, but only produce life and I know in order to do this I must stay connected to You and Your Word. Teach me how to pray using Your Words and not my own. Father, I want to live and not die, I can only do this in Your Power, create in me a clean heart, keep my ears covered, my mind protected and my heart clean that I may receive from You daily. Father, I want more of You and Your Word in my life! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
