Speak The Right Words
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned
(Matthew 12:37).
Words are so important in the Kingdom of
God. By your words, you can consistently
chart your course in victory and success; you can
recreate the circumstances of your life. The very
principle of salvation is based on words. Romans
10:10 says, “For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.”
It’s important to note the two keywords in the
scripture above, “heart” and “mouth.” With your heart,
you believe and are made right with God, but with your
mouth, you confess your way into salvation.
The Greek word for mouth is “stoma.” Stoma
means the edge or front of a weapon. That means
your mouth was given to you as a weapon. It brings
to mind what the Word says in Ephesians 6:17: “And
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God.”
When you speak forth the Word of God, you’re
applying a weapon. For instance, if you’re attacked
by sickness, don’t just talk about it, or complain to
people about the situation; cut it down with your
mouth by speaking the Word of God that addresses
the condition.
Remember, what you say comes to be. Your
words either make or mar. Like the words of Jesus,
your words are spirit and life. Jesus said you shall have
what you say (Mark11:23). Ecclesiastes 8:4 says where
the word of a king is, there’s power, and He’s made
us kings and priests unto God (Revelations 1:6). We
make decrees as kings, and we pray as priests, speaking
forth God’s Word to bring about a transformation in
our lives and that of others.
Use your mouth aright. Speak God’s Word only
and always. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your precious Words that give
life. Thank you for the glory and transformation I experience in
my life as a result of your Word that dwells richly in my heart,
and proceeds out of my mouth. I walk in divine wisdom, and in
the joy and peace of the Spirit, today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
