Morning by Morning, August 1 - The Power of Our Words Good morning, Lord Jesus. I bow my heart and open my spirit to wait for Your leading as I begin my day focused on You. … “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21).
My words matter. So purify my words; sanctify my tongue.
You are the very Word of God (John 1:1). You abide in me as I abide in You, so Your words can abide in me and flow through me as a child of God and disciple of Christ to bear much fruit--good fruit that will last--not just good fruit for me but for those I speak to and pray for (John 15:4). You even said, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7).
Lord, line up my words with Your words, my heart with Your Heart, my spirit with Your Spirit. Your words “are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Let my mouth be filled with Your words of spirit and life, moving by Your Spirit with Your Life, as You speak Your words through my life into all that You desire.
The power of Your grace that’s released through the power of our words into the world around us is one of the great blessings our inheritance as we believe and trust with our faith in You--a blessing that comes with both authority and responsibility, as vessels of Your words in our world. As You taught Your first disciples, so You continue to teach us today to use well the power of our words, yielded to You as the Word of God:
“Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:22-24).
Give me grace to “pray” and then grace to “say.” Then what I “say, when it comes from when “pray,” will move mountains of all that stands in the way of Your kingdom coming and Your will being done on earth as it is in heaven through my prayers and my words surrendered and yielded to Your heart and Your will. According to the spiritual principle of this Word of God, when we “have faith in God,” “whoever says” will have “whatever he says” when he “says to (whatever) mountain” they face to “be removed and be cast (away)” if he “does not doubt in his heart.”
Lord, give me a heart like that. Give me a heart full of faith like that.
Word of God, speak into me today. Word of God, speak through me today, in the full measure of both responsibility and authority You entrust to me today, I pray. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
