ALIGN YOUR WORDS WITH HIS WORD

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).

The Lord Jesus said, "...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). The same is true about our words, because as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Our words are not ordinary. When you understand this, you’ll put a premium on words and become careful how you use them.

Words are the greatest things in the world. The Lord Jesus set an example for us on the use of words. He healed with words, He blessed with words, and He changed lives with words. On a certain occasion, some officers were sent to arrest Him; when they got to where He was, they met Him teaching and decided to listen (John 7:32, 45-46). When He was through, they couldn’t bring themselves to lay hands on Him. When they returned without Him, the elders asked, "Where is He?" (John 7:45).

They answered, "...No man ever spoke like this Man!" (John 7:46 NKJV). It wasn’t that the Master used unusual expressions or rare diction; it was the power, truth, and spirit of His words (John 6:63; Luke 4:32). His words mended the brokenhearted, cast out devils, and even raised the dead (Luke 4:18-19; John 11:43-44). His words got a response from heaven; the Father responded to His words (John 12:28).

In Christ, we have received that same life. Our words, spoken in faith, are spirit and life. Your words bring healing, comfort, direction, and blessings. This is why you must never take your words lightly. Speak with truth, grace, and faith. Speak as one who understands the power and energy of words.

Remember the words of the Master in Matthew 12:37, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Align your speech continually with the Word, and it’ll produce life and results. Keep growing in this understanding. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your Word, which cultures my spirit and fills my heart with faith, love, and righteousness. My words are not ordinary; they are spirit and life, producing healing, comfort, restoration, and blessings in my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Ephesians 1:13-14

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Romans 8:15-17

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
