It is generally said that to change the direction of
a ship, we must take control of the rudder. The Bible also says to take charge
of the home of a strong man, we must first bind him. I say to alter the course
of our lives, in addition to watching what we think about, we must take control
of our tongues. When we take control of our tongues, we take charge of our
lives.
James 3:5-6 says our tongue could be a fire. It
could ruin people’s reputations, or it could bless lives. What you say about
your future and that of others is very important. Stop saying negative things.
Start saying scriptural things. Use your tongue to shape your world. Use your
tongue to say what you want to become in life. Heaven and earth came into being
by spoken words. Everything that God created came into being after God spoke them
into being.
In the book of Ezekiel 37 when the prophet found
himself in the valley of dry bones, the dry bones remained dry as long as the
prophet said they were dry and they became living souls the moment he said
otherwise. Your words have power. In the spiritual world, they are containers
of power, a storeroom of authority that can change your life, direct your
future, and allow you get in line with the will of God for your life.
A popular saying has it that “Confession brings
Possession”. In order for the Power of God to cause what God has promised you
to manifest in the natural realm, you must speak or confess His word. That is
why I urge you to think about what you are always thinking about because out of
the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Prov 21:23 says, “He who guards
his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.” Your tongue carries
power, don’t use it anyhow.
Shalom!
