WORDS SPOKEN IN FAITH
“If you have been snared with the words of your lips, If you have been trapped by the speech of your mouth”
Proverbs 6:2
Main Text: Job 22:28
Most people have no idea of the power of speech. Words are spiritual containers. When we speak them, they help us access supernatural resources that benefit us in the physical world we live in. They’re the most powerful things in the universe; with that in mind, we must be careful not to use them carelessly or thoughtlessly.
Everything we see around us on the physical level began on the spiritual level. According to God’s spiritual laws, the words we speak in the natural travel to the supernatural, pick up what we spoke, bring them back, and deposit them into our lives. This happens for good as well as for evil, which is why it’s so important for believers to speak the truth. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy” (Psalm 107:2). We speak this in faith, even when our surrounding situation seems to contradict this.
God created the world, the universe, and everything beyond with the power of His spoken Word. Whatever He says must come to pass. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11). As believers we have the same authority that He has, which means we, too, have the same ability to create whatever we say. Our faith is crucial to the connection between what we say and what we subsequently see come to pass. Right-believing leads us to confess the truth, which is contained in the Word; wrong-believing fools us into speaking what we see in the world. Our very words can determine the future.
Confession:
I declare that there’s prosperity, progress, joy and increase in my life and in that of my loved ones. Through the power and influence of God’s Word in my life, victory, promotion, and success are my hallmarks, in the Name of Jesus! Amen.
