Psalm 19:14 GW “May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my defender.”
Had me a little talk with my Father this morning about something near and dear to his heart. Words. It’s something we do everyday but don’t generally think about how they affect us, our world or the people around us.

I recently made a short trip to Michigan to visit Stacy and her family. While there, the kids were watching an episode of Dr. Who and although I tried not to watch (I despise sci-fi), there was a part toward the end that God brought back to my attention. It was toward the end and everyone in the world began saying the same thing and suddenly good prevailed.
I just can’t see Jesus saying something he didn’t mean. I’ve never read anywhere in the Bible where Jesus said, ‘Just kidding! Lighten up!’, but I have. I think Jesus had fun with people, but he knew the power of his words and he spoke accordingly. He made sure that what he said measured up with his Fathers Words.

What if everyone began saying what God says? What if our words brought healing to the sick, raised the dead, opened blind eyes and unstopped deaf ears? Not just while we’re praying, but at home, at work, at the store, everywhere we live daily. What if we began speaking to our children and grandchildren, our neighbors what the Word says instead of what we see and feel? What if we stopped agreeing with our feelings and placed our faith in what the Father says?

Words ushered in the world and words will usher in the return of Jesus Christ. I want to my mouth to be a powerful force in the lives of those close to me and far away. I want my prayers to be an effective weapon against the enemy. When I speak and declare a thing, I want my words to be established, set in stone just like my Fathers. So I confidently and boldly decree, I overcome by the word of my testimony! Signs will follow me wherever my words go because they are HIS Words and he brings life.
