SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE
“(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”
Romans 4:17
Main Text: Job 22:28
Most people want to see good things come to pass in their life, but many have no idea how to make them into a reality. Some hold the mistaken belief that the ability to attract anything good to themselves is out of their control, and that good luck randomly descends on only a few chosen individuals. But luck has nothing to do with it, and the Scriptures show us how to bring something into existence merely by speaking it. In the beginning, God brought creation into existence by the power of His spoken Word (Genesis 1:3-29). He confidently commanded, and literally created something out of nothing. This is an awe-inspiring story, but many people don’t realize they have the same power.
The power of speech applies to all areas of our life, whether it’s concerning our families, our relationships, our finances, or our jobs. We have the authority to command into existence peace in our marriages, happiness in our children, tranquility in our households, and stability in our finances. But we must be careful, because this works for evil as well as for good. “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit” (Proverbs 15:1&4). Whatever we experience in the physical realm is first born in the spiritual realm.
The tongue can either be a blessing or a curse, and what we declare repeatedly can manifest in us as well as others. We’ve all seen examples of children encountering failure or success after a parent prophesied it into existence, or marriages that either end in divorce or become strengthened because of what each spouse affirmed about the relationship. Ignorance of the authority of the spoken word can bring pain and suffering (James 3:4-10). Speak life!
Confession
You said in Your Word that You pray above all things that I prosper and be in good health even as my soul prospers. I believe that Jesus Christ, who was rich, was made poor for me that I through His poverty may be made rich. Therefore, I am rich, blessed, flourishing and prosperous in Jesus name
