Your Word Is the Weapon!

Have you ever thought about how powerful you are? Have you paused your busy schedule long enough to consider the tremendous impact your words are having in your own life? What are you saying? In today's post, let's focus on the words we speak and how they positively or negatively affect our outcomes.

As a son of God you realize that your weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.  The strong holds are the giants that present themselves as impossible and impassable to you.  They show themselves as a mighty force that can not be stopped or conquered. The Word of God says that we are more than conquerors through Christ -[paraphrasing Romans 8:37] which you can meditate on.

The negative words out of your own mouth is what knocks you out of the game when you speak them. Why? Because what you say will appear. The Bible teaches that "We are snared by the words of our mouths" (Proverbs 6:2).  You don't realize this but the very thing you are speaking about or into is what the enemy is using to snare you.  He causes you to abort what you are believing, so that he can inflict a wound in your spirit - causing you to disbelieve God. The enemy's sole purpose is to get "you" to believe that Jesus cannot do what He says He can do. Warriors know that during a fight they are going to get hit and that is precisely why they use a shield or rather or equipped with a shield before engaging in battle. We then the Saints of God understand that we are called into a spiritual battle and we carry the shield of faith.

You must have confidence in the word that you are speaking and that it is working for you.  I'm reminded of these scriptures in Mark 11: 12-14; 20-21 and Matthew 21:18-20. Although these speak of the same parable [The Fig Tree] they depict a strong flourishing vibrant tree bearing much fruit only to be found to be a facade; resembling something strong and flourishing but bearing nothing. Jesus cursed the tree and that tree withered and everyone saw it. The other scripture said that it was the next day when they saw it. The point is that the moment the word was released something happened.  The Bible says the tree spoke. It's facade is similar to that which giants portray; big and lofty but bearing nothing.

Now I believe this is where their spiritual eyes were  opened in Matthew and later in Mark they did not see it (fully comprehend ) until the next day. They heard the Word but they couldn't and would not believe it. Like most Christians they have to have a manifestation. When you are a  skilled warrior you know your words have an impact, there is an immediate impact in the spirit.  As a skilled fighter you take control over your opponent. These giants are the things that are out of order and out of season in your life.

Giants present themselves because of the plans that God has for your life. They are not from God, but He allows them to come so He can show His power through you. Let us follow Jesus' example and speak life to the things we want to see flourish, likewise we have the power to speak to the things that need to die. Your Word is Your Weapon!
