I know you’ve heard the saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” While this saying sounds good, it’s not true. Words can hurt; in fact, if used in the wrong way, words can kill.
I know you may be wondering, How can words kill? Words are a powerful force. They’re the authority in your mouth. The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Have you ever said something with a lot of passion, and realized one day the thing you said had come true? That’s because words are like the rudder of a ship. When spoken, they’ll begin to direct your life. A situation only worsens when you speak negatively about it. On the other hand, when you start speaking positively, your circumstances will change for the better.
God created the heavens and the Earth with the power of His words. You are made in His image and likeness; so likewise, you can create your world with your words. Words are more than just sounds. Behind them is great force. That force can be negative or positive. Words that line up with the Word of God will produce positive things in your life. God’s Word produces life. However, when you speak words that are opposite of life, they’ll produce negativity.
I’ve received personal testimonies that prove people have been miraculously healed of life-threatening illnesses, because they believed and spoke life to their condition. You don’t have to just accept illness. You don’t have to accept cancer. You don’t have to accept mental illness. You can take authority over everything by speaking the Word of God. Of course, I’m not saying refuse medical treatment. God uses doctors to heal people; however, you can receive treatment and still declare that by Jesus’ stripes you are healed. Do what you have to do in the natural; however, don’t allow negative words to take root in your heart! Establish God’s Word in everything you do.
The next time you’re faced with a dilemma, go to your Bible and find what the Scriptures have to say about your situation. Read the promises of God and anchor your heart and your mind on those promises. You don’t have to accept being broke and in debt all of your life. Search the Word of God and declare what it says about you. If you don’t like your circumstances, you can change them today; starting with your words!
