3 Power of Words

Prayer:

Father God, open our hearts to truly hear Your Word and know Your heart for our lives.  We agree with Your promise of abundant life!  Amen!

You’ll find that finding the power in your words is actually part of your faith. 

In Mark 11: 20-24 

Jesus and his followers had previously passed a fig tree that didn’t have figs for them to eat, so Jesus cursed it.  Mark 11:12

The next morning they passed by it again, seeing now that it was withered away to the roots.  

And the disciples were astonished.  They didn’t see the results immediately, but they saw it the next day.  

Jesus says: 

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

John 1 (also Gen 1)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

Proverbs 23:7

7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee

Matthew 15:18 

But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

James 3:3-6 NLT

The tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.

James 3:10 NLT 

And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! 

1 Peter 3:10 NLT

If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies

How you see yourself determines your physical health.  

How do you see yourself in the midst of your symptoms?  How about when your doctor gives you that diagnosis? The doctor, who has faith in the disease more than God’s healing? 

You are Not sick trying to get healed.  

You Are a Child of God, healed, experiencing symptoms or a disease process that you do not agree with.   

Why are you afraid?  Fear is a liar and is of the enemy, just like the symptoms that are plaguing you. 

Luke 8:11 The seed is the Word of God

What you are sowing with your words, you are also reaping.  (This is also true of our surroundings. Media input. Commercials we hear etc). 

Speak Life Giving Words

Make sure what you are saying is in agreement with God.

Fear comes by hearing or using the words of the world.  Love and Faith come from the Word of God.  Both have the power of attraction.  

You say fearful things, sin and sickness follow.  

The 5 senses are of flesh.  We cannot trust in them, they can be influenced by worldly or not Godly things.  

Hebrews 11:3

3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

What we see and smell and our 5 senses began as Words.  

Isaiah 55:11

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

    It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
