Your Words Are Alive

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).

The words you speak are not empty; they dont just go away; they live on. Don't think the last thing you said ended when you said it. Every word that comes out of your mouth is alive in the spirit-realm. The only way to repeal or counter already spoken words is by speaking words that are opposite and more powerful. Words are things; they have energy and tangibility.

This should make you put a premium on words. Never say what you dont mean or dont want to happen. Never speak negatively, because the principle is simple but spiritual: you shall have what you say. The Lord Jesus said so: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23).

Its for the same reason He tells us not to speak idle, inoperative words: But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:36-37). Idle words are useless words, words you speak that don't mean anything. He says youll be held accountable for speaking such words.

Remember, youre made in the image and likeness of God, and what did the Master say about Himself? He said, The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. He put a premium on words. The difference between the words of the Lord Jesus and the words of any other person is that He spoke life. He gave us an example to follow.

Proverbs 18:21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Speak only life and everything in your life and environment will live. Speak life to your business, your finances, your body, your children, and to everything around you. Remember, your words never die; theyre living and active; they determine the course or direction of your life. Whether you're going to be a success or a failure is all in your mouth.



Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for teaching me the power of words. My words are full of life, power, and faith. I speak only what I desire to see. I speak life to my body, progress to my work, growth to my finances, and peace to my environment. Thank you for making my tongue a tree of life, in Jesus Name. Amen.
