Today I want to share Kenneth and Gloria Copeland's "Faith To Faith" devotional! This is EXCELLENT!
Watch Your Language
In a multitude of words transgression is not lacking, but he
who restrains his lips is prudent. Proverbs 10:19, The Amplified Bible
We believers need to start watching our language! We need to
quit throwing words around like they weren't important and start using them like
our lives depended on it--because, according to the Word of God, they do!
(Proverbs 18:21).
Too many of us have what Proverbs 19:1 calls a perverted
mouth. Having a perverted mouth means more than lying and using profanity. It
means having a disobedient mouth. It means saying things that are out of line
with the Word of God.
All of us have done that at one time or another. We'll say,
for instance, that we're believing God for our healing and then we'll turn
right around to someone and make a statement like, "This pain is about
to kill me!"
That's perverted! It's backwards from what God's Word says.
"Oh well, Brother Copeland, I know I said that, but
it's not really what I meant."
Listen, the world of the spirit doesn't operate on what you
mean. It operates on what you say. Mark 11:23 tells us that "whosoever
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
Take note. That verse didn't say you shall have whatsoever
you mean. It says you'll have what you say. It's what you say that counts.
Now, I'm not suggesting you should be tied up in knots all
the time worrying about what your next phrase might be. Just use the wisdom God
has given you. Train your mouth to be obedient to His Word. Then, when you need
it most, you'll find that Word dwelling richly in you.
AMEN! Remember, everything we see in creation came into being because GOD SAID! Make sure the words that YOU say are what you REALLY want, AND that they are also God's Words! THEN there is no stopping them from coming to pass! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
