What Are We Speaking Into Being?
The more we study and understand the awesome power of the spoken word, the more concerned we should be that so few Christians understand it, because our lives truly reflect the very words we speak, and some of us are speaking some pretty rotten things into being as we stand for the restoration of our marriages. Joyce Meyer’s TV broadcast today was totally awesome, so I hope listening to it will help all of us understand how vitally important this message is to us as we stand for marriage restoration and the salvation of our husbands. While the Bible is filled with verses telling us how significant and powerful the spoken word is, the following verses are just a few to consider as we examine the connection between what we believe in our hearts, the words we speak and the reality of our lives:
Romans 4:17
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—he God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
Jeremiah 23:28
Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the LORD.
John 11:40
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Luke 6:45
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
Proverbs 18:7 (NKJV)
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “ Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
Proverbs 4:23 (AMP)
Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
Hopefully listening to Joyce’s message will inspire all of us to seek a better understanding of what God’s word tells us about speaking things into being, because as Proverbs 18:21 (AMP) says Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].
