As I am typing this I’m in the midst of preparing posts for
the Facebook page; writing a post about how much the words we say affect
every area of our lives. Words affect everything from our attitude that day, how
we see our future and how we are viewed by others. The post further talks about not talking
ourselves out of our destiny, which is extremely important. In order to get
where God wants us to be we have to start trusting in the vision and His
promises by speaking life into what He has said.
As I was thinking about the post, my sister and brother in
law popped into my head and I envisioned them telling my nieces “use your words”.
From a very young age they’ve taught them to not just point to things or whine
and fuss for things, but to use their words to explain what they want. My
oldest niece who is now 5 and speaks so much like an adult that I sometimes
forget that she is only 5. When they were younger it would have been easy for them
to just point at the object they wished to obtain. But doing that would have stunted
their progression in communication with others. A child who whines and never
speaks to exactly what they want may never get it, because people may not be
able to figure out what they want. Even if
the child exchanges a letter or two in a word, adults that are constantly
around them begin to understand what they are saying. The adult now hears the
child’s request and is able to either fulfill or deny the request.
I believe that God has the same idea for us. God knows our
every thought and deepest desire, He still in Romans 4:17 mentions speaking of
things that are nonexistent as though they were existent. We are His children and
though like our earthly parents He knows how to bless us without us asking; it
pleases Him for us to speak into existence the things that He has already revealed to
us in our spirits. Children don’t know what to ask for if they have never seen someone
with it or had it previously.
I believe that it pleases God and helps to build up our
faith for what He has revealed by speaking out the words that coincide with the
vision. There may be a time when we cry about something or have groaning’s and
moaning that He understands also. But we can serve Him better and make our own lives
better by choosing to use our words for positive reassurance of the vision.
Speaking into a situation causes us to talk into our destiny instead of talking
ourselves out of our destiny.
I encourage you to take some time to really think about the
words that you are using every day about your current situation and your future. Be determined
to use your words wisely.
17 As it is written, I have
made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight
of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the
nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.
Romans 4:17 AMP
