Proverbs 18:21 says that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Again, words are powerful. They create, build, tear down, heal, destroy or soothe. Not only do the words that proceed from your mouth affect those around you, but they affect you. What you say to yourself about yourself or concerning situations in your life, has a huge impact on your perception. Words create visuals. What you say about a thing determines how you see it.
Oftentimes, a change in what you see merely warrants a change in what you speak. You are the first recipient of the words that flow from your mouth. When words escape your mouth, they go into your ears; from your ears, they enter your mind; from your mind, they enter your heart; from your heart, they influence your beliefs and actions. Perhaps you cannot rise in a particular area of your life because what you're speaking concerning the matter is holding you down. One's consistent declaration of I can't win for losing plants the seed of defeat, and each negative word you speak waters that seed and causes it to grow.
Instead of speaking defeat, declare 2 Corinthians 2:14 -- "But thanks be to God, who causes us to triumph..."
Instead of speaking sickness, declare Isaiah 53:5 --"With his stripes, I am healed..."
Instead of speaking lack, declare Psalm 23:1 & Philippians 4:19 -- "The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing...My God shall supply all my need..."
For every word of defeat, there is God's word of victory.
Watch what you're saying, because you will either starve from the emptiness of negativity (The enemy's lies) or be filled from the nourishment of positivity (The truth of God's word). Speak the Word of God over yourself and every situation in your life and watch how it changes your perspective.
Be Beautiful!
