“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit the fruit of it (for death or life).”
Prov. 18:21 (Amplified Bible)
Everything that God created in the universe started with a word. Our world and everything in it had to be spoken into existence. The Bible is filled with many scriptures revealing the power of God’s word. Even though these scriptures exist many overlook the importance of words.
As a girl growing up, I cannot remember anyone placing emphasis on the need to watch the words that came forth out of my mouth. As a result of that lack of knowledge, I can now see some areas where I would have experienced success at a higher level. Often, I looked at a situation and spoke what I saw. I spoke negativity. I spoke doubt. I spoke out of fear. The words that came out of my mouth coupled with fear and doubt canceled out the good that God wanted to release into my life. I was hindered by the words of my mouth.
Your words coupled with positive action will produce the success in life that you desire. Every word that you speak is a seed with the desire of your heart living inside of it. Before anything that you ever achieve in life becomes a reality it has to be spoken out of your mouth. Your words spoken in faith will determine whether or not your dreams live or die.
Do not let this year become a duplicate of past years. Your goals and expectations will not become a reality if your words acknowledge that someone else beside you has the power to hinder your success. Never speak or spend time thinking about all the reasons why success cannot be yours. Even when the obstacles come, continue to speak the desires of your heart. Link positive action with positive words and watch the power of God released out of you go to work to bring forth into your life positive results.
Many illnesses could be curtailed if they were not spoken consistently out of the mouth of uninformed individuals. If death and life are in the power of the tongue, then what we speak in every area of life will affect the outcome. If you continue to speak sickness and disease, then expect to receive what you have spoken.
Dreams and visions are aborted because someone decided to focus on all the reasons why the desire could not happen. We have been programmed by habit to think the worst. Whatever is utmost in the mind of man will be spoken out of the mouth and will become a reality.
Over thirty years ago, I was introduced to a book entitled, “Think and Grow Rich.” During that time, I had been programmed earlier to think that talking about wealth and prosperity was wrong. Even though I read the book, it had little bearing on changing my thinking and believing about the amount of success I could experience in life. It was just a good book with a lot of principles in it that sounded good. But, I never saw myself as being able to achieve the unlimited success that was rightfully mind. So I experienced a few successes in life but nothing like I am doing now.
Ask God to enlighten the eyes of your understanding. Your heart must be saturated with the word of God coupled with wisdom and faith so that you can see beyond what is visible at this time in your life. The invisible is just waiting for you to speak forth its existence and begin your walk toward making what you have spoken in faith come to pass.
Mark 11:24 tells you, “For this reason, I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will get it.” God is saying whatever you speak before him in prayer with confidence and faith in your heart, it is yours. Before you see the manifestation it is yours. Once the desire is spoken out of your mouth act as if you already have it. The Spirit of God will go to work on your behalf to bring it into existence what you have spoken in faith. The provision for your vision is in the words that you speak out of your mouth. No person or circumstance will be able to stand against you when you think positive, talk positive, and walk a walk filled with positive expectations. The universe will respond to the seed of the word that has been planted in it and in due season will bring forth a harvest.
Your success in life will come forth when you line your words and action with the word and plan of God. The success that you desire already has God’s stamp of approval, if it is in line with His word. Stop struggling and begin to live by the word of God. Speak only what you want. Even when temporary challenges come never change your confession. The challenges are just the enemy’s way of trying to bring defeat and failure into your life and prove God to be a liar.
This is the year for God’s people to walk into the abundance that He has preordained for them. Get the doubt, fear, worry and unbelief out of your heart and begin to speak forth your future. There is so much success and victory with your name on it just waiting to come forth. Start today calling those things that do not yet exist in the natural as though they were and then start walking toward what you have spoken. Remain consistent without any doubt or fear in your heart and watch God bring forth a mighty harvest into your life. Your words have the power to produce the success that you desire in life.
