Speak “life” (1)

Make sure your words agree with God’s Word and then proclaim it over your life. What are you speaking about your future? Your family? Your finances? Your health? When what you say lines up with what God says, you give life to your faith. So, start saying, “I can do all things through Christ. I am blessed. I am strong. I am healthy.” When you talk that way, you have just blessed your life. This is not some glib, mind-over-matter philosophy, it is Bible truth!

Instead of complaining and saying, “Well, what did I expect? I never win,” your declaration should be, “I realize that when one door closes, God opens another. And what was meant for my harm, God will use for my good (See Genesis 50:20). I will come out of this better off than I was before” (See Romans 8:28).

What you say about yourself is more important than what anybody else says. The words that go out of your mouth come right back into your own ears, and eventually they create the same image on the inside. So, begin to speak God’s Word over your situation. In other words, speak “life.”
