It is impossible to sell someone on something you’re not totally sold on. Whatever is on the inside will be spoken by your mouth. If you have much doubt, you will frequently be speaking negative things. You may try to cover up what you say by stating, “I was only kidding.” Actually what was on the inside came out.
Are the words of the above verse only in your mind, or have you planted them into your spirit as well? You limit the power of God working in your life by the words you speak, because Proverbs 6:2 states, “You are snared (trapped) by the words of your own mouth.” The Lord is your deliverer, but this will only be available as you depend on His promises. Find the ones He has for you and see Him honor His Word.
We have the capacity to encourage or discourage, to lift up or to tear down. Words are powerful tools. Controlled by the Lord they can be mighty. Controlled by Satan, they can destroy, - you choose!
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
