(Sorry I didn’t post this last week)
Do you like where you are in life right now? Are you happy with the way things are going? Or do you wish you could be living in a better place?
What if I told you that changing the words you speak will change your life? (Mark 11:23-26)
One of the most important lessons Leland and I learned is the power of the words of our mouth. Most of us vomit out garbage when we open our mouths! Harsh? So is living the results of our wrong words.
The word “salvation” used in Romans 10:10 (For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession iz made unto salvation) carries these meanings (from Strong’s Concordance): rescue or safety (physically or morally): – deliver, health, salvation, save, saving” and (“safe”); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): – heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.
Look at it this way, “for with the heart, man believes and with (his own) mouth, confession is made unto healing.” Or, “confession is made unto doing well” or “confession is made unto financial prosperity” or “confession is made unto being made whole in every area of life.”
God said in His Word that He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people (Psalm 35:27). He said that He doesn’t want us to forget His benefits to us (Psalm 103) such as:
-He forgives ALL our sins and heals ALL our diseases
-He redeems us from death and crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies
-He fills our lives with good things. Our youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
By obeying Him and lining our mouths up to agree with His Words, we open the door for those words to come to pass in our lives.
In case we think, “It’s too hard to speak that way” stop and realize that you are already living the results of the words of your mouth. If you don’t like those results, change what you are saying. (Matthew 12:34)
Faith won’t even work for us if we don’t release it with the words of our mouth:
If we say nothing, we receive nothing.
If we continually speak garbage, we receive garbage.
If we speak God’s Word, we will receive everything He promised (not necessarily overnight, but keep speaking, it will come).
We can only pre-program our mouth to speak right words, His words, by spending time in our Bible. It works. Our mind will be renewed so we speak what we begin to know, HIS Words (Romans 12:2 NKJV).
It’s that simple!
