The first use of words was not to communicate but to create (Genesis 1 vs 3), this year I've heard so many sermons on the power of words, guess I better put it into action.
I love listening to Coffee with Chris (Ps Christine Caine) podcasts, one of the things she often mentions is what she has been declaring over her kids, and now what they declare over themselves:
"I am the head and not the tail,
above and not beneath,
a woman of prayer, a woman of faith,
and a Holy Ghost terrorist!"
(disclaimer: done from memory so may be inaccurate but you get the picture)
I'm planning to come up with my own declaration to speak over my life - if you've got any ideas let me know.
I'm also trying to be careful about what I speak over other peoples lives, even when it might be a quick way to get a laugh I want to make sure I'm speaking life and not death. Definitely going to need the Holy Spirit to help me on this one but it'll be worth it.
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18 vs 21
I want to eat the fruit of words of life!
Be blessed this week
