The Power of Words

What we say out of our mouths has a tremendous amount of power in our lives. As Christians we know that we reap what we sow, whether it is positive or negative. This also holds true for the words that we speak on a dailly basis. Read Proverbs 18:21 .

If you constantly go around speaking negative words out of our lives, then you will reap negativity into your life. If you want to have your prayers answered then you must continually speak as if they are already present in your life.

For example, if you are having financial difficulties in this economy and continually pray about it, don't negate it by talking about how broke you are. Always believe that God can and does restore and that He can restore your finances. When you speak out negativily then God will retract his angels from answering your prayer.

Always maintain hope in times of despair and you will be given peace and receive the love of God. Read Romans 5:1-5. There will always be hope, but you have to have faith and believe at all times.

The best is yet to come for a Christian, but first you must speak of hope as you eagerly have a expectancy of something good.

Have God Sized Dreams

We do not serve a small time God so why do we put limitations on our hopes and dreams for the future? God doesn't put limits on us. In the Bible we are taught in Philipians 4:13 that we can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthns me. So how dare we put limits on the power of God.

We need to stop asking for him to fulful our dreams and then put limits on it. We need to stop thinking that we are not good enough or smart enough to live whatever it is that we hope and desire to live. In Isaiah 55:11, the word of God says that His word does not come back void. When God created us in Genesis, he created us last because he was saving his best for last.

When we put limitations on ourselves we are giving the devil place in our lives. The devil wants us to believe that we are inferior and we can not live our best life. Stop giving the devil power. Matthew 6:24,You can only serve one master. In Matthew 6:8, "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." God knows you better than you know yourself so trust him at all times.

Trust God and delight yourself in God at all times and he will fulful the desires of your heart. Dream big, make big plans, there is nothing that is impossible for God. When you tell yourself that you can not do something, you are tellling God that he is not worthy. Quiting or failing is a permitted response. So do not quit. Give God the plan and let Him work his plan through His Holy Spirit.

When you short change yourself, you short change the power of God.
