Psalm 91:2 “I will SAY of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust”
Part of a life of faith is learning to say what God’s word says about you. This is hard because we tend to react or to speak negatively. Most human beings spend the majority of their life criticizing and complaining. God was displeased with Israel when they received the negative report of the ten spies in Numbers 13:32. Later on, God declared that none of those who complained would enter their inheritance (Numbers 14:26-28). You have the power of life and death in your tongue. There is power in what you say. King David said that he trusted the Lord his God. He said to Goliath that God would give him the victory over him. He lined up his words with his faith in God. It’s time to inspect the words that you speak. Use the next couple of days to realign your words with the word of God. Begin to release life into your environment and future. There is power in your words!
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You have given us your word. I make a decision today to only declare what Your word says. I realize that death and life are in my my tongue’s power, so I choose to speak your words which bring forth life, healing, love, forgiveness, reconciliation, joy and peace. I reject any words, comment or information that would stir hatred, death, and division. I choose today to be a vessel your Spirit could flow through. I submit my thoughts and words to your will. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
