As humans, we were created in God’s image, and as believers, He has given us great authority by His grace. Genesis 1: 26 -27 26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. We were the only creations that were created in His image. Psalm 115:16 (NIV1984) says: “The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.” We are His stewards here on earth! Hebrews 2:7 (AMP) says: “You have made him for a little while lower [in status] than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands” this means that your prayers, your faith, your words and your testimony are powerful tools in the hand of God. Once you get that, you will stop allowing the enemy to deceiving you into thinking that you are worthless and powerless. Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world!
What is your tongue proclaiming?
Most people today realize that their words have power and authority, but unfortunately do not harness nor control the words that come out of their mouths. An that is unfortunate because words can change outcomes. Words can heal or hurt, bring joy or sadness, bring forth truth or deception, unite or separate. Words are containers that carry emotions, wisdom, pictures, and beliefs. Proverbs 18:21 says: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit”. King David knew this, so he determined within himself to only speak of God’s righteousness all day long. He said this in Psalm 71:24 (HCSB):”Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm will be disgraced and confounded”. He knew that God’s promises are living and active. David trusted God to shut down the attacks of his enemies. He knew that his enemies would be disgraced and confounded. James 4:7 says: “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. So as you submit to God this weekend, know that God has identified your enemies, and He is shutting down their attacks against you. The enemy has to flee. Be like David and let your tongue only speak of His righteousness all day long!
