Faith Speaks
2 Corinthians 4:13; Hebrews 11:3

Mark 11:23 "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."" Too few of us have realized that our words rule us. Not only do they rule us, they also determine the outcomes of our lives. Today's realities are yesterday's spoken words. The envelope around our lives is a sum total of the words we speak. Even the kind of people we magnetize or repel is a consequence of our daily speech. The Word declares in Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."" Whether or not we speak life, is our responsibility; our choice. People are not responsible for what we say, we are. Circumstances may pressurize us, however, what we say or do not say is our choice (Eph.4:29). Our words are meant to create our realities. We are not meant to speak words that will create ugly realities we can't put up with. We ought to be wise enough to speak the words we would love to see come to pass. Remember, we were made to create like God. How? By speaking forth words that will in turn become our realities (Gen.1:1􀀂3; 26􀀂27). Why say words that will unsettle you from God's plan? Why say words that will bring disgrace instead of grace? Why give the devil a foothold by saying words that are consistent with his nature? Beloved, you can discipline yourself to always speak the Word, the situation or circumstance notwithstanding. You can yield your tongue to the Holy Spirit as you pray in other tongues consistently; He will help you say the right things. In addition, beef up your vocabulary with God's Word daily.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: Romans 4:17- 21, Hebrews 13:5-6
