For the part that I saw as the law of confessions is a sermon series I was truly blessed. Have you ever said, My feet/back are killing me? I am dying to get here or see that? Look at that person driving like a fool he is going to cause an accident? When you said these things did you realize the Power of Your Words and how your words could cause these things to come to pass. Bill Winston said that Christian's learn to confess their sins, they learn to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord but in his opinion Christian's do not learn about confessing over their lives and how it affects their life! The enemy wants to defeat you and he will use your own words to do it!
If we knew the true Power of our words we would speak nothing but goodness and good things out of our mouths over ourselves and others all the time. Going back to when you may see someone driving erratically and say aloud that they are going to cause an accident. Later on down the road you see that they have done just that. And you think or say to yourself see, I knew that was going to happen. How about you spoke it which aided in the occurrence taking place. With the same tongue that you said he will cause and accident you could have also said although that man is driving like a fool it is my prayer or hope that neither he nor anyone else on the road is harmed by his driving/actions.
Many have heard it before and I will say it again as the bible says their is power in the spoken word. We have yet to receive the full power of our words because we do not understand the power that they have. Winston said you would never hear God say that his feet are killing him, that is not something that God could say because when God speaks things happen and become!
When you speak, things happen and become! As my Pastor said yesterday nothing is more dangerous than your tongue! Your tongue has the ability to
- direct where you want to go
- destroy what you have
- display who you really are!
So before you speak think about what you are going to say and determine if what you says has these 5 characteristics:
- Truth, Helpfulness, Inspiration, Necessity, and Kindness!
If it does not keep it to yourself!
People believe that when they speak or they curse someone out they are showing their strength. In actually you are showing your weakness and showing that you lack control. Their is power in silence a power that you would not believe but it exists. Bless those who curse you and pray for those who persecute you. Do good and speak well of others all the time.
God created the heavens and earth through his Words. The Word says to speak those things that be not as if they were. I was watching Joel Osteen one day and a friend called a woman and ask her about her son. The woman said oh he is doing well, he is a great student, and a wonderful child, very obedient and loving. When the woman got off the phone her husband asked her why did she lie. She told him I did not lie about our son he is all of those things he just doesn't know it yet! Joel also talked about people that have been diagnosed with sickness. Do not claim anything that is unlike God do not say my high blood pressure, my diabetes, my this or that. Don't claim ownership of anything that is not of God!
The Power of Life and Death lies in the tongue. Your Words have the ability to build up or tear down. How do you choose to use your words? This goes for everyone you come in contact with not just those whom you like as if you are a Christian you are instructed to love all and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
To sum it up watch your words began to declare great things over your life, your family, your friends, this nation, the world, over all!
Be a blessing and be blessed,

Hey J!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog! I listened as well to Winston and Olsteen yesterday and it blessed me as well. It seemed like the all the ministers were on the same page. As we are now full throttle into the holiday season, there are many people who suffer from depression so I too ask everyone to season their words with love during this time because you just may be the one who saves someone elses life today. Love you girly! Good stuff! Stephanie @ Panache ;-)
