The Power We Must Realize We Have

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].” The tongue has the power of life and death. This is referring to your confession. What we say mixed with faith in what we’re saying brings creative power. Saying or confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart is the basis for becoming a christian. We have the use of the Holy Spirit with measure, which means individually we can and will have what we say over time. We speak ourselves into victory or defeat. Satan uses the power of our tongue to bring us down. He will bring temptation to you and if you take the bait, you will begin to speak that thing out of your mouth and as you believe it, the power is released against you. We say things like, “You’re killing me”, when someone makes you laugh really hard. Or something like ” You’ll never amount to anything in life”. These negative expressions are in our daily lives because of the demonic influences in the world. Most people are not aware of these spiritual truths, and laws. The devil has been using the power of the tongue against mankind for thousands of years. He knows our make-up, and understands how spiritual things work. He hates us because of God kicking him out of heaven, Lucifer was his name then (he was God’s worship leader in heaven). The meaning of his name from the old English Latin, is light bringing, morning star. In Isaiah 14:12 he is referred to as “son of the morning”. The power of the tongue is known by the dark side. Now you know, so run with it straight into victorious living.
