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?
It’s vital that we catch the powerful truth that God is a loving Father. If we don’t receive that in our hearts, we will always struggle with guilt, shame, condemnation and fear. The enemy of our souls uses fear, doubt and condemnation to make us feel like God is angry at us and wants to punish us. Yet, it is the enemy that want to destroy us. God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to save us and to adopt us into His family. Luke 12:32 says: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”. Did you just read that? It is His pleasure! He rejoices to see us as part of His family. He loves to converse with us and walk with us. He loves when we relate to Him as our Father. He is the one who taught us to call Him Father. His Kingdom is awesome! In His Kingdom, there is healing (Matthew 4:23). The poor in spirit are blessed in His Kingdom (Matthew 5:3). The persecuted are blessed in His Kingdom (Matthew 5:10). His Kingdom belongs to those who obey His commandments (Matthew 5:19). His will is done in His Kingdom (Matthew 6:10). All of our needs are met in His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Spirits of evil are cast out when His Kingdom is present.(Matthew 12:28). In Christ, we are now kingdom citizens, and all things are new. We do not have to struggle any more. We are part of His Kingdom and its His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.
