Words have power to impact the present and future. We have to be careful concerning what we say, both to ourselves and to others. Words can change an environment in a heartbeat. Words can change sadness and despair to joy and celebration. Now let’s take it to the next level. The Lord Jesus said: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” God’s word contains life. When we speak or declare God’s word over our circumstances or situations, we are speaking life. Isaiah 55:11 says: “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”. When God’s word is released, it never comes back void. There is eternal power in the word. So next time you pray, make sure you pray God’s word. Your opinions might fall short, but God’s word will accomplish that which God sent it to do. Don’t just pray emotionally, pray scripturally. Don’t just live emotionally, live scripturally. God’s word will release life, health, joy, purpose, clarity, honor, salvation, confidence, strength, and many other precious gifts in your life and in the lives of those you love. Remember: Words have power. What are the words that you are allowing to come forth from your mouth?
Don’t despair; You will see the goodness of the Lord!
Our faith in God and His word gives us hope, both now and for the future. You might be going through a time of testing or difficulty at this point. However, your faith and confidence in what God has promised you will give you that supernatural peace and strength to stand, overcome and break through any struggles you are currently experiencing. Even King David understood the importance of his faith in God and how God’s goodness could help him in the worst of situations. Psalm 27:13 says: “I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living”. Another version says: “I would have fainted had I not believed.” Yes, the journey can sometimes seem overwhelming, but you have something on the inside that is ready to “kick-in” and help you. God’s goodness is right there with you and you WILL see His goodness in the land of the living. It’s not time to give up; It’s time to fire up and boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me (Hebrews 13:6)?”
