“This is killing me!”
“I'm never going to be able to do that.”
“I'll never get over it!"
Take a few minutes to think about what has come out of your mouth in the last 24 hours.
Now, what if I told you that your words hold the same power as God’s?
Pause for a second. Did you get that?
Your words hold the same power as GOD'S.
I'm serious. Look at Romans 10:10.
“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
In Luke 15, we read the story of The Prodigal Son. The father runs to him, kisses him, hugs him, has his best robe put on him, and puts a ring on his finger. That ring is significant. It had the father’s seal on it. In those days, kings and leaders stamped their seal onto documents to make it legally binding—to decree something. By giving his son his ring, the father gave the son the same authority he held.
This is a picture of God and YOU. This is a picture of the authority God gave YOU.
Revelation 1 tells us we are kings and priests. Jesus is the King and you’re His body. You’re supposed to represent God’s government in the earth realm.
Have you been stamping documents with your signet ring that are unrighteous? ( Whoa .)
Step back and think about the things you say.
Don’t say, “Well, I’ve tried that ‘faith stuff’ but it hasn’t worked.”
Don’t say you don’t trust God, or you’re not seeing results. Make sure that you’re not decreeing junk!
See, it doesn’t matter if you go to church and sing and say, “In Jesus’ name.” What are you saying at 3:00 a.m. when they’re coming the next day to shut off your electricity? What are you saying about that sickness when it tries to come against you? What are you decreeing and declaring about your marriage, your children, your job, your finances... your life?
Proverbs 18:21 (MSG) says, “Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit— you choose.”
Jesus showed us this in Mark 11 when He cursed the fig tree and it died.
Your words are just as binding as His.
God gave YOU the keys. The authority is in YOUR hands. James 3 tells us that we are setting the course of our lives with our words, but most people have no clue how this works. They’re trying to get to one place and end up somewhere else and they wonder why. It’s like setting out for London and ending up in the Philippines! You’re the one steering the ship! If you end up shipwrecked on shores you didn’t intend to go to, it’s because YOU decreed it!
The Bible tells us that we have the crown and that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. But with that authority comes responsibility.
The Bible also tells us that we will have to give an account for every careless word we have spoken.
Whoa again. Did you get that?
You will have to give an account for EVERY. SINGLE. CARELESS. WORD. you have let come out of your face.
That’s a sobering thought, but think of the other side of it—think of what you can decree!
Don’t fear that authority. Rejoice in it! Speak the good things. Say ‘yes’ and ‘amen’ to every one of God's promises.
Decree provision, healing, direction, wisdom, and health. Use your words wisely.
