Speaking Out the Word By Jeanne Theriault
The bible teaches us to speak life and not death;
Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit.
So what kind of words are we speaking over our lives? Are they words of faith or words of fear?
Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned.
Our words have tremendous power, your words will either empower you to succeed or fail. Fear is the number one tool that will paralyzes our mind which can make you physically sick, and steal your peace of mind. God wants the best for you in every aspect of your life.
The more you put your confidence in the Lord, the more fear is diminished in your thought life. A positive attitude that trusts in the Lord is powerful and effective.
Having a negative mind will make you tired and bitter. Don’t dwell on failures, difficulties, or problems. Count your blessings and be thankful in all things. Focus on encouraging things that edify and builds you up.
First you must seek God in all things
Matthew 6:33 But seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness and all these things will be added to you.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
Psalm 105:3 Glory in his holy name, let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
Meditate on God’s Word it will help you to focus on God. David knew this and God honor him.
Psalm 119:15-16 I will meditate on Your precepts and regard your ways, I shall delight in our statues I shall not forget your word.
The benefit of meditating on God’s word and speaking out loud will stir up your flesh to praise God, it will increase your faith as you speak out His Word and discipline your mind and shuts up the attack of enemy. It will change the atmosphere around you and it will make you more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus spoke out the Word things happened. He spoke to the storm it became calm, the sick were healed, the dead were raised. His Words give us life.
Isaiah 55:11 So is my Word that goes out from my mouth It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
When God speaks his Word there is life and power, it will not return empty or void when God says its done.
Romans 4:17 He is our Father in the sight of God , in whom he believed the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
Start speaking out the Word of God over your life and watch God fulfill your needs in all things. He is faithful, loving , waiting for his children to reach out to him, keep your mind focused on His Word for he will stay true to His Word.
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man that he should lie nor a son of man that he should change his mind. Dos he speak and no act? Does he promise and not fulfill? 20 I have received a command to bless he has blessed and I cannot change it.
Lord your Word is perfect and your Word is truth. Your Word gives me life , I will speak life into my heart and the heart of others . I will meditate on your Word day and night and speak out your promises for you are faithful to your Word . Amen
