Your Words Have Power!

Out
of the mouth, the heart speaks.
(Matt. 12:34)
Can
good and bitter water come from the same spring? (James 3:11)
I am surely preaching to the choir on this matter of words
and conversation that come from our own mouths! I’ve heard
three analogies recently that should reawaken us to the value and
weight of our spoken words.
First, let me say that God is good. HE is for us and not
against us. He first loved us! And He
deliberately gave us a free will….to accept or reject His gift of
salvation through Jesus Christ, His Son, and ALL the
privileges that come with being grafted into His family: Our
inheritance is for the Here and Now as well as for the Here-After!
The
Three Analogies:
1.
As you
speak, envision that angels are aligned on one side of you and
little demons on the other. What you speak out ACTIVATES one
side or the other! It’s your choice!
2.
As you
repented for your sinful words and misdeeds, the Lord effectively
put handcuffs on the demonic strongholds and harassments that
were taunting you. Yet now, with your wrong words, those
handcuffs are removed and the demons are coming after you, not after
anyone you named!
3.
My all-time
favorite: You drink the poison and expect the other person to
die!
Remember that Jesus showed us by example to speak the truth IN LOVE.
He also demonstrated how to ‘be angry and sin not.’ So, as
in all areas of our lives, we must choose wisely!
Be quick to repent and quick to forgive. In fact, stand in
identification repentance for those who have wronged
you! This puts the handcuffs right back where they belong…..
on the enemies’ wrists!

Ron
Petty died. When he came back
from his trip to Heaven where he
visited with Jesus, he came back with an extraordinary gift.
God gave Ron "supernatural" vision to see inside
someone's body to discern physical
infirmity, and then God heals
them as He chooses.

Finally, understand that the battle is the Lord’s. He is
fighting for you! God will never leave you nor forsake you.
Pray and stand boldly as Elisha did in 2 Kings 6, to see that there
are more for us than against us; to have our spiritual eyes
opened!
Focusing on Jesus rather than your problem allows you the peace and
rest that is otherwise impossible. It is only through HIM that
we ‘live and move and have our being’ and have the victory over
the pressing issues of life. I plan to address this topic on a
deeper level in my next newsletter.
Share your comments and prayer requests
with us and we will respond as the Lord leads. We Praise God
for you and the destiny that He is bringing about in each of your
lives.
Blessings to all,
Ron
