Our tongues are a very powerful weapon. It can create peace and comfort or conflict and torment. Did your mother ever tell you, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? This is actually very wise advice. Everything that we do and say in this world causes a reaction in two different realms, the seen and the unseen. There is a natural and supernatural realm that coexist and react to everything we do. There is a consequence for every action whether we see it or not. Imagine the supernatural as a world with angels and demons living together just as believers and nonbelievers live together on the earth. Every time you agree with God’s word about a situation, you give the angels power to move on your behalf. Every time you speak in agreement to negativity or what the world says, you give the demons power to move on your behalf. If you knew that everything that you said would be spoken into existence, would you change what you say. Well, thank God that all the horrible things that we speak doesn’t just appear before us in an instance, but it does hinder us from our blessing and overtime will happen right before our eyes. In the same way, when we speak continual blessing over ourselves we watch it happen as well. Just as God spoke the world into existence, He has given us power to create the atmosphere around us. By faith and power of the Holy Spirit you can have what you say when it is in alignment with God’s word! Let’s commit to change the how we speak and watch God move on our behalf!
Romans 4:17 (KJV)
(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 4:17-18 (MSG)
17-18 We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn’t that what we’ve always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, “I set you up as father of many peoples”? Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing. When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!”
Father, we thank You for the creative power that You have given us. Give us more faith to believe for every promise that we have been given through Your word. Help us guard our tongues and be slow to speak. Give us the right words to activate our angels to move on our behalf. Forgive us for giving power to the enemy by speaking negatively about ourselves and situations. Convict our hearts every time we begin to speak in a way that is not pleasing to You. We thank You for Your grace and mercy that gives us an opportunity to do better. We bless You and give You glory. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!
