Speak God’s Word

Devotional Reading: Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Matthew 21:21 KJV

Jesus explained to his disciples the miracle of the fig tree withering. “If you have faith and do not doubt ……if you say to the mountain ……it will happen” (emphasis, mine). There is power in words. We can’t ever underestimate their weight. Words attract consequences. 

The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18: 21). David, in the depths of adversity, declares in Psalm 27:13, “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Job, ravaged by disease and traumatized by personal loss, says, “I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.”  Job 19:25. With death staring them in the face, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego proclaim: “We know are God is able to save us…” (Daniel 3: 18)
Joshua prayed aloud for the sun to stand still and it did. (Joshua 10: 12-15)

What are your words today? Do they speak fear or faith? Ask God to give you words that testify to His goodness and grace. Ask God to replace your fear words with faith words. 

When in mess or difficult challenge choose to anchor yourself in the Word of God. Crush fear with the best weapon possible – the Word of God. Speak life-giving, life-affirming words. Rest in the character of God and claim who He is – the Healer, the Life Giver, the Father, the Almighty God.

When you walk through the waters, remember that God is with you. Speak life. Speak the words of God.   

Prayer and Confession
I walk in faith and I walk by faith
I speak the words of life the Word of God
I don’t live in fear
Hallelujah!
