SCRIPTURE:

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21)

Because many people have no revelation of the power of their words, they have caused themselves undo hardship. Many people failed when things became difficult, only because they lost their confession. The Bible plainly teaches that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). In other words, your words reflect your fate, not the devil, not your nation or background, not your relatives or circumstances.

When you believe and speak words that harmonize with what God has already spoken or declared, you release a force to which everything in the universe has to adjust. The power of the tongue is far beyond anything we can naturally perceive. Thinking positively is always good. It is always better to think positively than to think negatively. It will put you in a better frame of mind, but if that is all you do; it is not going to change anything.

Confession, or speaking in line with God’s Word, will change the circumstances in your life. In fact, I’ll make a bold statement: There is nothing in the universe so big and so powerful that cannot be turned around with your tongue.

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, I repent over any words I have spoken that are contrary to God’s words. I will speak words that are in alignment with what God says about my circumstances and believe they will be turned around for good. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
