Begin speaking the Word of God over your life. Find a scripture in the Bible that tells you what God has to say about your particular situation. Example: the next time you want to say, “No one loves me” go to John 15:9 and speak what Jesus says about you, “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.” How awesome is it to know that God loves you.
If you’re in debt, instead of saying, “I’ll never get out of debt”, read Deuteronomy 28:12 and say aloud, “The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.”
As Christian, we need to stop blocking God’s blessings by speaking negatively. God wants to bless us but we become a hindrance to ourselves in receiving Gods blessings when we speak things that are in opposition of Gods Word.
On today, make a decision. Proverb 15:4 tells us that a tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Decide today that you will watch what departs from your lips. Make a choice to speak God’s blessings over your life. Through the power of the Holy Ghost we have the power to speak God’s blessings over our lives and with the same tongue (if used negatively) can speak curses over our lives.
Here’s an example of things we say that sounds harmless but is actually stopping God’s blessing in your life and cursing you:
I’m poor; I’m broke; I have no money
I’ll never get healed from it.
I’m ugly
I’m a failure
God doesn’t love me
My marriage is going to fail
I’m going to lose my job
I’m stupid
I’m sick and tired of _________.
By speaking these words, you’re claiming it to be so in your life – you’re decreeing and declaring brokenness. Even if you are sick, don’t go around claiming it, instead say you’re healed. Do this for every other negative thing in your life. Remember words are seeds that can yield a good or bad harvest in your life –depending on what you speak. The very essence of our being was spoken into existence by God. Monitor what you speak. Every time you want to speak negative, stop, ask God to change your heart and to renew your mind. Then, fix your mouth to speak God’s blessings upon your life instead:
I’m more than a conqueror
I’m prosperous
By the stripes of Jesus I am healed
My marriage is saved
My spouse and children are saved in Jesus name
I have God’s favor upon my life
I’m the head and not the tail
I have my career job in Jesus name
Words are powerful – they are seeds that yield a good or bad harvest (depending on what you speak). There is power in finding scripture(s) on your particular situation and speaking what God has to say about it instead of your flesh. God wants to bless you. Don’t let your mouth get in the way of your blessing. Pray with me:
Heavenly father thank you. Thank you Lord for your Word and blessings. Father, I ask in the name of Jesus that you help me to speak life and not death. Place a guard over my mouth in Jesus name that I may not speak anything that is in opposition of your word and promises I have through your Son Jesus Christ. Father I plead the blood of Jesus against every idle word I’ve said that was negative –cancelling out its power. From this day on I make a decision to speak your blessings upon my life and the life’s of others. I thank you Lord that by your strength and with the leadership of the Holy Spirit I’m able to do this. Father, I thank you in advance for the blessings your spending my way and I praise your holy name. I receive your blessings and will decree and declare them daily. These things I pray and ask, believing that their already done; in Jesus name, Amen.
