There’s Power In The Tongue!
There’s Power In The Tongue!
ByDeath and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. – Proverbs 18:21
In the beginning, God spoke everything into existence. In Genesis 1, He said, “let there be light,” and there was light. In Mark chapter 4, He rebuked the winds and spoke to the sea “Peace be still,” and the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
All throughout the scriptures, He’s constantly affirming positive words as to who we are. You are more than a conqueror. You are the head and not the tail. You are above and not beneath. Even, Paul said in Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”
You may wonder, what do all these passages have in common? They are all instances when God is speaking something into existence. Paul is affirming that regardless of his situation he has learned to be content. He speaks in confidence that he(you) can do all things through Christ which strengthens him(you).
But isn’t it a good thing that we serve a God who speaks good things over our life? Even since the beginning, every creation that God ever made was created through speaking it into existence. After He created light, He created space and water. He did all this through verbally speaking. We know through all this that there is power in the tongue.
You see, the good news is that God has given you the authority to speak good into your life. But the fact of the matter is, whatever you speak over you is what’s going to come into existence. If you go around saying that you’ll never amount to anything, that’s what you’ll acquire out of life. When the enemy tempts you to get down and disgusted, know that you can fight his attacks with what the Word of God says about you.
If there is a mountain or hardship that’s in your way, know that Jesus said, in Mark 11:23 that you can speak to your mountains- tell them to be moved and cast into the sea. If you have faith and don’t doubt this, it will happen.
Creflo Dollar once said, “The small bit in a horse’s mouth can control his direction. It’s that small bit that controls the outcome or destination of that horse.” You see, the bits (or words) that come out of your mouth can either lead you to a destination of destruction or of life. Make a choice to speak good bits over your life today and watch as you rise to a new dimension as you charge forth on your journey of life!
