The
Words You Speak
The apostle Peter plainly tells us that enjoying life and seeing
good days, and having a positive mind and mouth, are linked together (1 Peter3:10). If we change our words, we can change our life!
Our mouth gives expression to what we think, feel, and want. Our
minds tell us what to think, not necessarily what God thinks. Our wills tell us
what we want, not what God wants. Our emotions tell us what we feel, not what
God feels. As our soul is purified, it is trained to carry God’s thoughts,
desires, and feelings; then we will begin to speak life instead of death.
Your words, as reflections of your thoughts, have the power to
bring blessing or destruction not only to your life but also to the lives of
many others. In 1 Corinthians 2:16, the Word of God teaches us that we have the
mind of Christ and that we hold the thoughts, feelings, and purposes of His
heart. We don’t manifest them all the time, but we are daily growing and being
transformed into Christ’s image. He that has begun a good work in us will complete
it and bring it to its finish (Philippians 1:6). The closer we come to God, the
quicker we will experience victory in our mind, mouth, moods, and bad
attitudes.
