THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH IS IN THE TONGUE

God has chosen to use "words" to release His power on the earth.

In Genesis chapter one it says several times, "God said and there was." The power was there the whole time but it was doing nothing until God spoke some words.

As you read all the way through the Bible, you'll notice that every word God spoke accomplished something. (Isaiah 55:10-11)

Now you may read the Bible from cover to cover but it would do you no value at all if you don't speak faith filled words out of your mouth.
The WRITTEN WORD contains the power but the SPOKEN WORD releases the power.

In Hebrews 10:23 God tells us to HOLD fast to our confession of the Word of Faith.

Why should we do that? Because our words filled with faith, produce substance of what we are hoping for.
Our faith works the same way God works and that is by speaking "faith filled words."

Let's go futher and understand more about the power of words.
Words are like seeds; no matter how big or how little the seeds are, there is life in them.

But as long as these seeds are not planted they produce nothing; but once you plant them, the life in them explodes and brings forth a harvest.

For example, you may have needs in the area of healing, financial situations, wisdom or any other needs.
In the natural, these may seem like huge mountains hindering you from enjoying life to the fullest.
Now you can either choose to magnify the problem, or choose to speak the Word and see supernatural results.

If you choose to speak death filled such as, "I'm so sick, I can't live any more with this disease, or "I'm broke, I'm weak, I have bad memory," you are opening the door for Satan to steal, kill and destroy your life.
Why? Well, firstly all those words are death filled words that will only produce a bad harvest.

Jesus told us in Mark 11:22,23 to speak and COMMAND the mountain to move and be cast into the sea. That's what faith is all about.
Everywhere in the Gospels, we see Jesus using His faith through the Words He spoke.

For instance, when people were demon possesed, or came to Him for healing, He spoke words such as,"According to your faith be made whole."
His words were full of life and authority and you've got to know that the same power is available for you today!
Many Christians are asking God for the power but they don't realise that they already have it! (Luke 10:19)

So make a commitment today that you wil start to speak God's Word instead of what your feelings tell you.

If you've been speaking negative, uproot those words in the Name of Jesus and fill your mouth with the promises of God.
Jesus said in Matthew 12:34: Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Once you've uprooted those words of doubt and unbelief, start planting new seeds of life and reap a harvest of blessings. In other words, fill your mouth with the promises of God.

In the area of healing, you can boldly declare:
"Jesus is the Lord of my life. Sickness and disease have no power over me. I am forgiven and free from sin and guilt.

Jesus bore my sickness and pain, for God sent His Word and healed me." (Psalm 107:20)

In the area of finances, you can boldly declare:
"Never again will I confess lack for my God supplys all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)

Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue! (refer Proverbs 18:21)

Therefore if you want to experience good days and a bright future, train your tongue to speak the Word of God daily!
