Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Everyday we're given an opportunity to speak words over our own lives and the lives of others. The thing is what are we speaking?
Do we hear ourselves speaking doom and gloom, spreading the bad news we heard from the media or do we declare what God has said over us? On days when we're down do we say "I feel very down" instead of "I know God is lifting me up today, that all things are working out for my good because God loves me." God's ways are not our ways and He tells us what to say. For instance, "Let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich. (Joel 3:10)" He actually spells it out for us!
God ...who calls those things which be not as though they were. (Romans 4:17 Kjv) In other words God calls things that we can't 'see' with our physical eyes as though they're already here. As far as He's concerned they already exist. We tend to do the opposite and call things the way they are, how they look and feel. We say "I fell so unwell. I feel so tired." God says to 'call' those things He's promised as though they're already here because in the spirit realm they are real.
When we believe the promise and speak it out we're calling it forth from the spirit realm into our physical realm which is called using our faith. Faith is ..... the evidence of things we cannot 'see' (Hebrews 11:1), but are we using our faith?
Next time we feel like calling things the way they are in our lives, let's just pause and think what has God said about it and start calling things the way He has said they are in His word.
"Lord I may 'feel' tired but the truth is that I have Your strength and energy flowing through my body. I call myself strong not weak. The doctor's report says I'm sick but I call myself healed and whole. I call myself prosperous in every area of my life. I call myself blessed, I call myself rich not poor. I call for those things You have said I can have in Your word by faith in Jesus' name. Amen.
As we agree with God, and submit to Him and His ways, I believe we shall see the breakthroughs we've been believing for. Let's begin this new year by being imitators of God and start saying what He says about us not how we feel or what we 'see' with our natural eyes, and use the power of life we have in our tongues.😊
