Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. As I sought what the Living God would have for me today, every Prompting and every Word I read kept directing me to the significance of, and the Power that can be found in our spoken Words. There was no avoiding my Lesson today, and no attempt on my part to move onto other Lessons could change the Course of what I was intended learn today. The God of the Universe was on a Mission with my heart, and the God of the Universe will always Win…one way or another. I know what it is to wrestle over those difficult Lessons that I need every once in a while, and I know what it is to obey. The longer I live the less I wrestle, and the easier it has become to Obey. Isn’t that the way it is with you too?

Spoken Words have life as surely as I do, but the power of words will last much longer than just a lifetime…once those words are “out there”; they can never be withdrawn. Negative or destructive words can mold the very being of a child, and there is so much power in those words, that they have the potential to negatively impact generations to come. Anybody cold and reckless enough to speak destructive words to their child, will someday witness destruction if they live long enough to see it. “The tongue has the power of life and death”. Those words may have been spit out decades ago, and perhaps there was an apology and even an acknowledgment of forgiveness that followed at some point. But the words and the pain that the power that was granted to them, can never, ever be withdrawn. The same is true in relationships. One fit of anger and a few insults will last longer that the argument, and those words will be forever embedded in the heart and in the mind of the other. No amount of apologies can withdraw the words or negate them from the heart and mind. Once they’re “out there”, they’re “out there” forever, and we might be forgiven for them one day, but the damage they caused will last forever. Words have more power than most people ever realize, so if there is anything on the planet worthy of focus and self discipline; it’s the tongue.

Those negative words may have power of their own, but the Good ones do too! When we speak out loud the Promises that God reveals to us in His Word; nothing has more Power than those Words, and the Blessings that follow will last more than just a generation or two….IF we speak them and IF we believe them. When we speak Good Words over our children, our loved ones and everybody else that God places in our path; they are “out there” forever and they can never, EVER be withdrawn. They have Spiritual Life, and they are Spiritual Truths that the Living God set in Motion from the time of Genesis and through forever more. We don’t just HOPE for good things. We don’t just WISH for good things. We don’t even just PRAY for good things. We PROCLAIM (out loud) Good things, and when we do; we’ll see Power and Change and Hope and a Future and everything else that is Good. We’ll experience prosperity much more significant than our checkbooks…we’ll experience spiritual prosperity and physical prosperity…everlasting prosperity in all the ways that matter.

I got a Heavenly Reminder this morning on the power of my words, and I’ll be sure to exercise self control when I open my mouth. God forbid that I should speak unkind words to anyone in my path today or any other day of my life and God be with me as I Proclaim Good things to world. Words that can never, EVER be withdrawn and Words that have Power forever more!

“‘The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”’

Numbers 6:24-26
