Watch your tongue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cSticks and stones may break my bones but names (words) will never hurt me.\u201d\u00a0 I can remember saying this rhyme as a child.\u00a0 Eventually, however, I learned that words do hurt.<\/p>\n

Words are very powerful, more powerful than we realize.\u00a0 Did you know that you can be surveilled by cameras night and day and it\u2019s legal?\u00a0 However, if your voice is being recorded, you have to be notified of that fact.\u00a0 Apparently, what we say can be more telling and is of more value than pictures!\u00a0 For instance, you look at a picture and interpret it as to what you think it means.\u00a0 Then I come along and change your perception just by telling you a different story.\u00a0 I can easily use my words to change the way you think about that picture when you look at it again.\u00a0 Words create.<\/p>\n

Words are potent because they create energy.\u00a0 As breath passes over your vocal cords and you form words with your mouth, those words become energy and that energy produces matter.\u00a0 As this matter builds up over time, a solid picture develops based on what you have repeatedly said.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t nonsense, it\u2019s how God created us to operate!<\/p>\n

Not only do words create energy, but our words create a frequency.\u00a0 In Columbus, Ohio there is a radio station called 104.9 The River.\u00a0 For me to pick up that station I have to tune into its frequency on my radio.\u00a0 Once I have tuned into the proper frequency, I can hear the music I desire.\u00a0 The same thing happens with our words.\u00a0 Our words have frequencies that are searching for matching signals to bring to us the reality of what we are saying.<\/p>\n

The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).\u00a0 It also says that we will have what we say (Mark 11:23).\u00a0 Then Jesus said that we will be judged by the words we say.\u00a0 Our words will acquit us or condemn us.\u00a0 How?\u00a0 By our own words we create the kind of life that we live.\u00a0 All Jesus has to do is look at our life and He will know exactly what we have been speaking.<\/p>\n

We were made like God.\u00a0 As His words create, so do ours.\u00a0 When the words we speak match God\u2019s word, we create a blessed life.\u00a0 When the words don\u2019t agree with God\u2019s word we create a mediocre, plain, mundane life. \u00a0The world is filled with people who have this testimony simply because they don\u2019t understand the power of words.<\/p>\n

These days my wife and I are much more aware of what we say.\u00a0 We are practicing speaking in agreement with God\u2019s word.\u00a0 When we catch ourselves speaking careless words we repent and quickly declare what God says. \u00a0We do this because we have experienced the difference our words make.\u00a0 We don\u2019t confess sickness or lack.\u00a0 There are days when we may not feel good or have a financial need, but we don\u2019t dwell there with our words.\u00a0 Instead, we confess what the Word of God says.\u00a0 God says He has removed all sickness from us (Deuteronomy 7:15) and that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24).\u00a0 He also promises that no harm will come to us and no plague will come near our home (Psalm 91:9-10).\u00a0 God\u2019s Word says that He wants us to increase in abundance and multiply our gold and silver. He will give us the power to prosper (Deuteronomy 8).\u00a0 He desires to bless all the work of our hands and He delights in our prosperity (Deuteronomy 28).\u00a0 He promises to open the floodgates of heaven and pour out a blessing without measure for the tither. Our businesses will never fail to produce fruit and He himself will rebuke the devourer of our finances (Malachi 3:10-11).<\/p>\n

God is eager to bless us, but our words can stop Him if they do not agree with what the Word of God says. He is limited by the Law of Confession that He Himself put into place.\u00a0 Folks, your words matter!<\/p>\n

It is vital to know what God has to say about every area of our life.\u00a0 We can discover this in His written Word and through the instruction of the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 Words are powerful, therefore be a good steward of the words you say.<\/p>\n
