Where We Can Get Our Power!

Whoo! Yesterday's post had some GREAT comments! I so appreciate everyone's wisdom and knowledge and insight concerning what power our words have...or don't have. :)


With that said, I do want to say this:


I totally believe, with all my heart, that the power of the spoken Word of God in my life is an undeniable truth and absolutely necessary in my life as a Christ Follower.

Whether that be a direct quote I use, or when I use it in concept, the Word of God is the most powerful weapon in my life.

I also believe in the power of positive words, regardless if they are scripture or not. Some of you commented about what comes out of your mouth and how it affects you mentally and even into your every day outcomes. I totally agree. If I'm a Debby Downer, there's no way much of what I want to happen will happen. In contrast, if I'm a positive thinker and speak positively, there are real physical and mental affects going on.

What I was getting at yesterday is that many take that last concept too far and think they can will things in their life simply by saying it over and over.

With that being said.... :) I go back to the power and the authority of they Word of God. Speaking it in my life, over the lives of those around me and over my own life will, in turn, have incredible power to alter my life.

Many of you commented on that yesterday too. What awesome power comes from the Word of God! Sheri Y said in her comment that what we speak is about faith not what we actually say, but she went on to say that what we speak must be of the Word of God and what is in our hearts will flow out of our mouths.

We must have our faces in the Word of God and our hearts humbled to the leading of the Spirit to know what to say and when to say it. Our hearts will speak the abundance in it! So, what do you want your heart to say? Just whatever is in it? Or, do you want to speak the Word of God with authority in you life?

The Bible says that the Word is in our mouth and in our heart so that we can obey it. (Romans 10:8) We, however, must take it to our mouths through our time spent with Christ and reading of His Word.

There is the power of what comes out of our mouths to move mountains, get set free from stongholds, defeat the enemy, and rise up in strength in Christ!

Yea Baby!
