Do we realize the power of the words we say? Words can either build someone up or tear them down. We can pronounce words of healing or destruction. You can accept these words or rebuke them. Our Bible is the Living Word of God. What does that mean? Living means having life; being alive; not dead; in actual existence or use; active or thriving; vigorous; strong; burning or glowing; flowing freely; pertaining to; suitable for; or sufficient for existence or subsistence....The words in our Bible are active and pertain to us today and in the future.
Hebrews 11, the faith chapter states in 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. I have confidence in what Jesus did on the cross, I trust His work allows me access to God. I can stand in front of God and He can look on me because Jesus redeemed me. I claim this. I have faith that Romans 10:9-10 is true...If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. I also profess 1 John 4...the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. Do you believe this? I mean really truly believe this. If so then you must also believe that healing follows our confession. Some people, me included, have a dual confession; confessing one moment the truth of the Word but the next moment confessing that He has not made it so in our case. Christianity is the great confession and it is our duty to boldly declare of the truth of the Living Word whether we have seen it happen or not. Abraham boldy declared the promise of a nation that would come from him and he was living by faith when he died.
Isaiah 53:5 But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Do you believe this? Every disease, every weakness and every illness was laid on Jesus Christ and we are free of them. Just as He bore our sins, He bore our diseases. We stand complete in Him. Free from the burden, the power, the pain and effect of disease. Confess this! Claim this! Declare this and possess this. It is ours for the taking. We are the righteousness of God in Him, Jesus Christ for He took the price of sin for us. When we confess our sin He wipes the slate clean. We need to believe this and take hold of it.
I challenge you today to declare healing. To speak forth in declaration not only salvation but who you are in Christ Jesus. The Word will heal you if you continually confess it. I confess Jesus as my Lord therefore I possess salvation. I confess Jesus took my illness for by His stripes I am healed, therefore I possess health. Claim the promises of God then possess them by declaring them over and over again. The words we speak are powerful and they will set us free.
Take a moment to look at this website to know who you are in Christ. Claim your identity in Christ and continue to walk in faith that what you claim you have received.
Awesome mom! I love it :)

ReplyDeleteThere is complete truth in this! I am finding more and more that I have to think before I speak. It is like you said we can cause destruction or healing depending on the words we say, and I only want healing for others through our Lord Jesus Christ, and for me!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you, and everyone, and thank you for sharing this powerful post!!!
Thanks for your comment Lon. Words are so powerful. You know that old saying, 'stick and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me.' This saying is a lie. Words can build or destroy. Just look at children and how they react to positive or negative words.
