Words
We Speak
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and
those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Pvbs. 18:21
This proverb clearly tells us that our words carry the
power, or works, of life and death. Our
confession works something in the spiritual realm – that speaks life or
death. When we choose to speak life, we
are releasing the power of life!
The proverb continues on to inform us that we eat what
we love, which is what we speak.
Complaining Israelites ate what they spoke. King Saul ate what he spoke. King David, even though he sinned, ate what
he spoke – which was life for a royal nation and chosen people of God. Rom. 4:17 says: “…God – who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not
exist as though they did.” That is the power of a life-giving word: enough to speak light into the world and
enough to speak life into the dead! This
is the power of resurrection as we choose to speak life and call health into a
person’s life.
Lord, help us with Your Spirit to speak words of life
over ourselves and others this day!
