The Power of Your Words

The greatest power that a person has is in the spoken word. If these words are anointed by the Holy Spirit. We are told in the Bible, Hebrews 11:13, that the worlds were framed by the spoken Word of God. When He spoke, everything we see and experience became a reality. It literally came forth out of nothing. Of course, you must believe in God and the Spoken Word to understand my point of view. Anyway, this is the kind of power that God possesses, and this power is made available to us. God, through His Spirit, has been dealing strongly with us, those who will listen, about the power of our words. We speak words of unbelief, criticism, fear and hatred. And we seem to think nothing of it. But He keeps telling us that by our words we shall be justified, and by our words we shall be condemned, but we don’t seem to be able to hear it.

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

However, some are catching on and are being trained in how to speak words that deliver, heal and take dominion over every circumstance in life. The Bible says, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love iti will eat it’s fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21, NIV)

When the life of his son Isaac depended on faith, Abraham learned in Genesis 22 to speak positive words of life. Moses spoke a word of judgment in Numbers 16:28-35, and his life depended on that word being true. People today are claiming to have more of God than the Old or New Testament saints had, yet they speak nothing but complaints, criticism and gossip. Without God help, we are helpless.

Most people are feeling that they are totally unqualified to rule the nations or have a part in the restoration of creation. That is good, for God is not looking for the “qualified”. He will use those things that are nothing, to bring to nought things the are. All you have to do is be able to speak what He says to speak. If you're not able to do that, but you believe, He will heal you and make you able. Some will say, “I don’t know what to speak”. That is good. He doesn’t want you to speak your words. He doesn’t want you to “know how to do it”. His Holy Spirit will put the words in your mouth. And these words will prove to be the most powerful weapon the world has seen.

The spoken word will bring down governments and forces of evil. It is a greater force than the atom or hydrogen bomb and will bring people to their knees quicker than germ or chemical warfare. Once more, it is safe, for no one can use these words of the power of the tongue without the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.

It all begins by faith, “for without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6 NIV

Jesus asked a question in Luke 18:8 “when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth"? Will He? I know that it's hard to believe that our words can make a difference. I, too, have problems putting this into practice, but it’s something I believe.
