How are you using your words?

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21 NKJV)

Lately God has been dealing with me intensely on the use of my words. I have learned that the words that I use are powerful and should be used carefully. I had never really thought about my words until recently and I would now like to share this important truth with you.

In my personal experience I have learned that in any situation that I face I have to make the choice rather to speak life or to speak death. Nobody can make this choice for me and this choice requires me to reach beyond how I feel or how the situation looks. I must admit that this has been especially challenging for me because it is so easy to go with my feelings and speak what I see. I have learned that when I do this I am damaging myself and adding further damage to the situation I am in. When I began to speak positive I feel peace in the midst of whatever I am going through even if the situation is still the same. When I began to speak the word of God over my life I see God beginning to work on my behalf. Words are extremely powerful!!

The purpose of this post is to inform you that the most powerful influence on your attitude and personality is what you say to yourself and believe about yourself. In life you will always have challenges and hardships but it is how you "SPEAK" during these times that determine how long you will be there. I know for a fact that I have been in situations alot longer then I had to because of the words of defeat that I spoke the during the difficulty. The words we speak are able to shape the course of our lives.

I want to encourage you today to speak words of life no matter what you are going through. As you speak words of life began to embrace the peace that will come in the midst of your storm. This will be extremely challenging at first because the situation may not go away immeadiately, but dont give up and continue to let your words transform your situation. Say to yourself, " I am more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ", " I am a winner", "God has a great plan for my life", " The devil has already been defeated" , " I CAN MAKE IT"

SPEAK LIFE!!
