Your Words Rule Your Life
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou
art taken with the words of thy mouth (Proverbs 6:2).
There is a spiritual language for the Christian.
That’s why, as a child of God, you ought to
practice speaking the Word only, and always, because
the supernatural life is based on your tongue. Your
tongue rules your life. The Apostle James likened
the tongue to the rudder of a great ship, which the
captain uses to direct the ship wherever he wants (James 3:4-5).
In Matthew 12:36-37, Jesus said “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.” Literally, this means a man
will go to heaven or hell because of his tongue-work;
what he said or didn’t say. The Apostle Paul’s words
on salvation in Romans 10:8-10 buttresses this: “…
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the
heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Your life is the character of your words. If a man’s
words are confusing, his life will be confusing as well.
In the same vein, if your words are wholesome, your
life will be perfect, excellent, and inspiring. Proverbs
15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life….”
Watch your words—your confessions—they control
your future. Proverbs 12:18 says, “…the tongue of the
wise is health.” You can keep yourself in health, peace
and safety with your words.
Talk faith, success, and increase! 1 Peter 3:10
says, “For he that will love life, and see good days,
let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that
they speak no guile.” Keeping your lips from evil
means keeping them from speaking fear, doubt, and
unbelief. If you’ve found yourself in poverty, sickness,
or anything that’s contrary to the good life that’s been
given to you in Christ, it’s because you’re not using
your mouth right. It’s time for you to change things.
The Bible says to let the Word of Christ dwell in
you richly in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
(Colossians 3:16). Fill your heart with God’s Word and
let it come out of your mouth. With the Word in your
mouth, you can frame or recreate your world. Keep
talking the Word. Keep charting your victorious course
through the power of your words.
Confession
I have the tongue of the wise and learned; I’m cultured to
speak faith-filled words that transform my life from glory to
glory and change circumstances.
I’m propelled in the direction of God’s perfect will and destiny for
me, and declare that my future is secure in Christ! Blessed be God!
