The Power of Words


Death and life are in the power of the tongue” Prov. 18:21

Our words are powerful! We set the course of our lives with our words. Our words have the power to bring death or life to ourselves, to an individual or to a situation. The quality of your life will be a direct result of the quality of the seed we sow into your life. (Gal.6:7)

God’s Word is a great seed. To release the power of God’s Word as seeds we need to practice ‘selective seed sowing’. We must consider carefully the nature of the seed we plant into our life. Although the seed may seem harmless, the harvest it produces can make a massive impact in our life. The Parable of the Sower in Mark 4 teaches us that the Word of God has the capacity to increase by 30, 60 or 100 fold in your life, producing a great harvest.

God's Word brings life. When the Word of God comes into our hearts and minds it is described as ‘incorruptible seed’. (1 Pet. 1:23) To release the life within God’s Word, we need to abide in His Word. The sowing of today’s seed is the answer to tomorrow’s need in your life.

God’s Word is eternal and incorruptible. Therefore it can be relied upon, trusted, hoped in and believed. FAITH is the key ingredient to make your seeds produce a great harvest in your life.

God's Word is a weapon. To use the weapon of God’s Word, we need to make his word our words. The question is not whether or not your words have power - They surely do! The real question is: What type of power your words are releasing? Words have the power to bring healing and life as well as destruction and death and we will be justified or condemned by our words. (Mat. 12:34-37) Make sure you measure your words before you speak them!

Words are containers that carry spiritual power. They can activate the power of God (through speaking the Word of God by faith); or they can activate the power of the enemy (through speaking words of fear, hate, doubt and negativity). Are your words aligned with Heaven or with Hell? When your words line up with God’s Word it creates a powerful testimony and you have the power to overcome the enemy. (Rev.12:11) The word ‘overcome’ here is the Greek word ‘nikao’ and it means ‘to conquer, overcome, prevail, and establish the victory’. When we speak the Word of God out loud and in faith (confessing it and agreeing with it) we establish victory in our lives and walk in the victorious life Jesus has come to give us!

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Ps. 19:14
