Our Words

A Bottom Line

MATTHEW 12:34-37

God created the Heavens and the earth and everything that is in the earth by His words (Heb. 11:3). The whole creation was made by, and responds to, words. Our words, when spoken in faith, release either life or death (Prov. 18:21) and will affect people, things, and circumstances. We can release the power that is in faith by our words.

Every word counts. There is no such things as an "idle" word which will not work for us or against us. Our words can be our most powerful weapon against the devil, or they can become a snare of the devil (Prov. 6:2). Faith-filled words can move mountains. "Idle" words, curse words will always work against us."

Prov 16:24 "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."

The faith that made Jesus marvel was a faith in the authority of Jesus' Words-the spoken Word (Mt. 8:8, 10). We are to believe in the power of our words. If we begin to speak words in faith that line up with God's Word, then we will have the positive results that follow. But if we continue to speak words of doubt, cursing, evil, etc.....we will eventually believe and mean them and have the negative things that these words produce. Death or life are in the power of every word we speak.

Prov 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. "

Faith is released by speaking words. Jesus encouraged us to speak to mountains or to whatever our problem might be. Most people speak to God about their problem, but few follow Jesus' instructions and speak directly to the "mountain."

God has put certain things under our authority and we must exercise it. God will not do what He commanded us to do. When a problem stands in our way, we must speak to the problem and command it to get out of our way in the name of Jesus. Speak God's Word! His Words will produce life.

James 3:5-6,10

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
