The Power of Words

We can speak words about ourselves and others containing curses and spiritual death without realizing what we are doing. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”. We need to practice the Words of God, speaking in love, with patience and kindness in every sentence. When our own words align with the Words of God we have a special connection to God. Our words truly have the power of life and death. 

We must be very careful about what we say and how we say it.  It’s easy to put voice to our feelings and thoughts, but are those thoughts “captive to the obedience of Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:5)?  If our thoughts are Godly, then we should speak those words of life.  But, if our thoughts are birthed out of our own soul or from the enemy, then we cannot give those thoughts a voice.  We must guard our mouth and avoid speaking anything that does not produce life in us and in those around us.

James compares our tongue to the rudder on a ship (v3:6). This rudder, though it be very small, guides and directs this giant vessel.  There is tremendous power that pushes the ship through the water, but it’s the rudder that guides and tells it where to go. So it is with our tongue–our entire life is guided and directed by our tongue.

Stop guiding your life with words that are negative and condemning  Instead, start lining your words up with God’s Word and release the power of His Word to work for you.

Instead of speaking lack and poverty, say, “God’s Word tells me that the good things are already here. I therefore pronounce my life blessed. I pronounce my life prosperous. I pronounce my life great. Darkness and gloom, poverty and sickness, defeat and depression, will not be in my life!”

Instead of speaking sickness and death, say, “I will live a long life. I will not die young. Jesus died for me so that I can live long for Him. I am the righteousness of God in Christ and God’s Word declares that no evil befalls the righteous. So no evil will come on me now and in the future!”

Instead of speaking fear over your children, say, “God’s Word declares that the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Therefore, my children are delivered from every curse, every power of darkness and every evil. In the name of Jesus, I call forth a great, bright and blessed future for my children!”

God wants you to have a life filled with good days and an abundance of every good thing. So say, “In the name of Jesus, I command blessings, favor, health, prosperity, protection, dominion and power to fill my life!”

Loose the power and effects of any word curses you have spoken upon yourself and others, whether unbeknownst or in anger. Repent of having spoken evil words, remembering that to repent means to turn away from ever speaking such evil words again. If you have spoken negative words about your children, your finances, your health, your spouse, your life or your relationship with God – get on your knees alone and bind these to the Will of God and loose the power and effects of any wrong words you have spoken. Pray today bind and loose the power and effects of any wrong words spoken about you or to you or about anyone and begin to speak God's power and life from your mouth!
