Speak to it

Speak to it and watch God move through his word in your words. There are several places in the Bible that show how powerful words are. God himself spoke everything into its very existence (Genesis 1:3-26), except for one thing. Comment if you know the exception. 

Words have a cause and effect in our lives. This includes not speaking. God told Moses to speak to a rock and out of his frustration he hit it, twice before it produced what God promised, Numbers 20:1-13. I wonder what the outcome would have been had he followed God's instructions. Communication is very important and when God says speak his purpose is always greater than our own. Proverbs 25:11 says a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver, meditate on that.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof, Proverbs 18:21. God told Ezekiel to prophesy and say to some dry bones, "hear the word of the Lord!" And every word Ezekiel spoke the Lord made happen, Ezekiel 37. Then Jesus in Matthew 21:19 spoke to a fig tree that quickly withered away and died. Being questioned about it Jesus said this, "verily I say unto you, if you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done." This confirms the power behind words (maybe you should read it again Matt.21:19). One of the greatest and most well-known examples of the power of speaking is when Jesus called forth Lazarus from death back to life in John 11:43. 

We must be careful what and when we speak and more careful about our belief in what we speak. 2 Corinthians 4:3, I believe therefore have I spoken. We will answer for every idle word, Matthew 12:36. So speak with purpose and may Grace always be on your lips, Colossians 4:6. No matter what seek God first, then speak to it. Blessings!
