Speaking Blessing Into Existing
Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.
— Psalm 141:3
Hey there! Ever wondered how powerful your words can be? Well, let's dive into this. You know how sometimes we say things we don't mean, or even worse, things that are negative or hurtful? It happens to the best of us. But here's a twist: our words aren't just sounds disappearing into the air. They're powerful!
Think about Jesus and the fig tree in Mark 11:14. He didn't exactly "curse" it, but His words, "Let no one eat fruit from you ever again," had such power that the tree withered! That's right, our words can be like seeds, planting blessings or curses in our lives and others'.
But don't freak out! Here's the good part. We can choose to speak life, hope, and love. When we fill our mouths with God's words of grace and truth, we're like gardeners planting seeds of goodness. It’s like flushing out all the negativity with a waterfall of positivity.
Now, you might be thinking, "But what if I don't see changes right away?" Remember, when Jesus spoke to the fig tree, the change started at the roots before it was visible. So, when you speak faith and hope into your life or someone else's, trust that things are changing, even if you can't see it yet.
I have an incredible story to share. My wife and I, deeply moved by faith, prayed over my distant brother and his wife who were facing challenges in starting a family. We believed in the power of prayer and spoke words of life and hope into their situation. And guess what? They were blessed with a baby! This wonderful experience shows how our words, when filled with faith and love, can lead to extraordinary miracles.
So, what's our takeaway? Let's make a conscious effort to use our words wisely. Speak kindness, hope, and love. Speak God's promises into your life and the lives of those around you. As we do, we'll see our world transform, one word at a time. Remember, it's not just what we say, but the heart and faith behind it. Let's speak life today!
