WORDS HAVE POWER!

“Spiritual things are created by WORDS. Even natural, physical things are created by WORDS. Faith is expressed in WORDS. Faith must be released through WORDS through your mouth for when you speak something that is action.” ~Kenneth E. Hagin

You have to see the vision you seek before it ever arrives.  I always use to hear this phrase when I was younger and I never understood it.

How could I see something and trust for it to come if I couldn’t see it?  I learned as I got older that every dream begins with a vision. When God gives you a vision, others may not be able to see it at the moment, but that doesn’t mean you stop pursuing the vision. You have to see it in faith. Faith unlocks doors to greater possibilities and eventually through prayer it will come to pass. It also requires sacrifice.  

Priscilla Shirer once said, “There are some things God does not place in our hands but within our reach. We have to choose to grab them.

 Be Content

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Philippians 11:23 (NIV)

It is easy to be content when your life is going “picture perfect” but what about those times that force you to trust. What about those times that you have to wait because nothing can move your circumstance besides the hand of God?

The word of God tells us to be content no matter the situation. The apostle Paul learned this in the midst of his encounters of life. He knew how to be content because he knew that the battle had already been won. He knew how to be content because his focus was on the right purpose.  It is during those moments that our faith is put to the test.  It is during those moments that doubt tries to slip in. It is during those moments that we must not lose our purpose or vision.

    There is power in your words! Faith is acting like it is SO,  even if it ain’t SO, SO that it may be SO, because God has said it is SO. -Tony Evans 
    

"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Mark 11:23 (NIV) 

Wow! Don’t you know that there is power in your words? You can have whatsoever you saith according to will of God. There is power in your prayers to transform circumstances. Your faith is the confidence in the word of God and it unlocks the power of God that works in your life. 

      It is okay to ask.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  James 1:5 

Consult God in all things. Ask God! I have to remember to consult God in all my decisions big or small. I think back to the past.  Did I ask God before I decided to jump into this relationship? Did I ask God about this job before I decided to take it? Did I ask God for wisdom on how to handle the situation or did I just do what I wanted to? Did I do what I thought felt best during the moment instead of listening to God? There are so many heartaches we could avoid if we would simply just choose to listen to the voice of God to direct us for what he desires us to have.

       God created the world through…

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26

For it was with words that God made us in the like image of who he was. God formed the entire universe with his words! When we received salvation, we believed in our hearts but we then had to confess with our mouth. Why? There is power in your words.

In conclusion, so why do we speak so much negativity? Why do we give up so fast on our dreams when the power lies in our tongue? Why is it that so many people have issues with controlling their tongues? We speak curses and expect blessings to overflow in our life. It may not always work out how you think it should but God has already made I way. I had to make a conscious decision to pray about my circumstances, never complain, and trust God to work them out. I have to make a conscious decision daily to be positive even when my emotions tell me otherwise. 

So today speak life!
