One of the things we do not do that is vital to our well being and the well being of others is to speak blessings over other's lives. We are to Bless and not Curse. We Curse our own lives and the lives of those we come in contact with by the words of our mouths. On the other hand we also Bless others and our selves with same mouth.
A lot of us are not aware that we are doing so, because we take words so lightly. Anything you say that is negative ends up being a curse. We need to be diligent to watch what we say.
The Power of Words: Guard Yours! The New Testament is rich with examples of Jesus speaking with power and things changing because of His words. Then He gives us a stunning bit of information about our words:
Matt 12:36-37 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Jesus is making the point that words are so much more powerful that we have ever realized. They are a power source that has almost been overlooked.
Neuroscience is beginning to come up with explanations of why this is true! As we look at this, you and I, we start waking! What you and I have been saying is actually shaping our worlds.
We are given the opportunity and privilege to speak out words of power and life in the Spirit of Prayer?. To speak out words that originated in the heart of God and carry his life-force in them. To speak light into the darkness, to speak order in the chaos.
Ps 33:6 By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made and all their host by the breath of his mouth. (Ampl)
Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the Word of God so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. (Ampl)
We have the opportunity, as God did in the beginning. The world awaits our stepping up to the plate.
Therefore my brothers and sisters I thank my God for this opportunity to bless you;
Dear One, listen with your spirit to Colossians 1:12-13 "?giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of Light. For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves?"
I bless you with deep gratitude flowing in your spirit, thanking your Father for allowing you to inherit all covenant blessings that belong to God's holy people, who live in His kingdom of light. I bless you with knowing the hope of His calling and what a rich and glorious inheritance He has in His saints.
I bless you with sharing in and with a family of faith who lives in the light with clear and vulnerable relationships. I bless your spirits with being flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future He has promised you.
I bless you with knowing your dominion over all the power of darkness. I bless you with the eyes of your heart being enlightened to know your Father's incredibly great power for you, the same working of His mighty strength that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms.
I bless you with knowing with certainty that He is far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given in this present age. Dear friends, you are blessed that God has put all things under the authority of Christ and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church., which is His body. You are blessed in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, who fills everything everywhere with His presence. Amen.
