It always comes down to this: life or death.
“Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Pr 18:21 BSB
Hi Friends, Diane here. The power of words. How did God create? He spoke. “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” (Gen 1:3) Can you see how powerful words are? There was nothing, and a great void of nothing, until God spoke. The words from His mouth created Life. His words made everything that is seen and unseen. The vast galaxies. The highest mountains. The lush forests. The colorful gardens. And you and me too. God SAID, let there be light and there was. What He said happened. Does what we say happen too?
I am not talking about “name it and claim it”! That is as unbiblical as thinking we have not changed once we become born again. Remember the devil will attack our identity, first and foremost. If he can convince us we are still the same sinner we have always been, then our behavior will continue to be the same as it has always been. Don’t believe his lies anymore! Death is who we used to be. Life is all about WHO we are because of Whose we are. If you belong to Christ, then you are NEW IN Christ, and if you are NEW, then you must speak NEW too.
