37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Your words create your world. It is a known fact that we all live in a Word created world. John 1:1-3 tells us that all things were made by the Word, God’s spoken Word; and that there was nothing that was made that was made without the Word. Our words rule us, not necessarily the government of our nation. Because we are in a Word created world, everything in the world responds to words. Everything in life is word sensitive. So, life responds to you according to your words. You cannot have a better life than the one that your words have created. Today’s opening verse tells us that we are justified or condemned by our words. By extension, we are blessed or hindered by our words; we succeed or fail by our words; we accelerate or retrogress by our words. The question now is: What are you saying about yourself, your life, your family, your health, your career, your business, your destiny, your ministry, your academics, and everything pertaining to your life? Your life is as beautiful or as ugly as your words.
You are right! You said you could do it and you did it! He is right also! He said he couldn’t do it and he failed at it! Everyone is right in the long run. We will all have what we say. So, you’d better be careful what you say! Learn to speak right! Speak concerning the new creation that you are in Christ, not the old creation that’s filled with envy and rottenness. Speak your righteousness in Christ, not unworthiness. Affirm and acknowledge who you are in Christ! Speak healing and health, not how sick and diseased you are! Affirm that you are healed by the stripes that wounded Jesus! Speak financial success, not poverty and misery. Speak marital success, not marital failure! Confess that you are an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ, not your identification as a captive to sin and Satan. Speak victory, not defeat, for the Lord always causes you to triumph in Christ, and He spreads through you the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Hallelujah!!!
MY SOLID FRONT (YOUR CONFESSION):
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I declare that I am conscious of the power of my words; therefore, I speak right, consistent with the Word in Jesus’ Name. I am born of God and have overcome the world; for greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. Hallelujah! Amen.
