All A Matter of The Tongue

The Tongue.
Such a small instrument with a huge responsibility.
What flows off of yours on a regular basis?
Words of encouragement to a friend?
A testimony of God's goodness, perhaps.
Do you vocalize your appreciation for His financial provision?
Or profess a declaration of health over your family?

Don't you know that death and life are in the power of the tongue?
Christ's death and resurrection bought back our dominion over the earth.
As believers, we've been given the authority to rebuke sickness, pain and death.
We now have the ability to 'speak to our mountain,' and tell it to be removed;
If only we believe.

Let's look at our problems or circumstances thru God's eyes;
Jesus ALREADY won the battle for us.
He took sickness, disease, poverty and oppression to the cross for us;
Why should we accept that which He's already taken care of?
To do so would be to trivialize His sacrifice for us.

Rather live an abundant life.
Thank the Lord for the health of your family.
Use faith, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Praise Him for His provision.
Speak words of wisdom and knowledge over your children,
And declarations of unity and love over your marriage.

With the Truth on our lips and in our hearts,
Our lives will be a testament of God's goodness.
And the world will see a difference;
For we are called, 'the light of the world.'
Let your light so shine.

~'Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord...' Psalm 19:14
