Do you realize that everything came into existence by the word of God? He thought it, He said it… and it was so. Even the enemy, who can create nothing original, depends on what God says, to twist, resist and set up his counterfeits. But, anything that does not align with what God says is deception and rebellion.
We are made in the image and likeness of God, so it means we also create aspects of our reality by our own expressions of thought and belief. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, so from the words we speak and the confessions we make, our lives are being shaped, stormed and steered. The enemy waits to hear what we have to say, for when our words do not align with God’s, he is ready to accuse us and to have a field day. Our words can create, activate and incriminate, so we must be careful about what we agree and say.
“ Bless the LORD, you His angels, You mighty ones who do His commandments, Obeying the voice of His word! ”
Psalm 103:20 AMP
While our words do the creating, it is our conclusions, concentrations, covenants and convictions that do the coding. But do we consider where these codes originate from? Anything we believe and say that is not in alignment with what God has said or established, is untruth. To prevent ourselves from sabotaging our lives and the lives of others, we need to shine God’s light on the contents of our hearts and minds.
I pray we will allow the Word of God to renew us, and bring us in line with the only way that leads to life.
