Let Your Faith Speak
Mark 11:23; Romans 4:17

Matthew 12:36 "But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."" The Master warned against speaking idle (empty, inactive, purposeless) words. Jesus said everyone will be held responsible on the last day for whatever they say. This is a clear fact that God always wants us to speak on purpose. Our Words are meant to reveal our faith or conviction. Our words are meant to precipitate our absolute thoughts and innermost intents. Our Words are meant to reveal us, not obscure us. A man of conviction is a person of great influence. You will never be able to influence people until you learn to communicate your convictions in absolute terms through your words and actions. You are not to allow your words betray your faith. You were designed by God to let your faith loose through your words. This is one of the most vital lessons you will learn in life. God communicates His faith to us through His Word (Rom.10:17). As we meditate on His Word, we receive His faith. His faith becomes our faith via meditation in the Word. Beloved, when you talk your faith, the power of God is released to make good what you have said. Let this be a consistent thing with you, not just a one-off affair or an on-and-off thing. Speak what you believe in line with God's Word, not what the circumstance is dictating for you to say. Speak your faith always!

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Genesis 1:1-31; Hebrew 11:3

My Solid Front (Confession)
In the Name of Jesus, I declare that I am a speaking spirit like God, therefore I speak to my world today God's word and I see it change. Amen.
