Close your eyes and take a deep breath. 25 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: As you exhale, release the thoughts racing through your mind. 26 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: Hear the words of the Holy Spirit. We will be 27 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: meditating on Proverbs chapter eighteen, verse twenty one, from the 28 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: King James version. Death and life are in the power 29 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat 30 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: the fruit thereof. Now take a moment to pour out 31 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 2: your adoration to God for the power of his word. God, 32 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: I praise you for everything you have spoken over me. 33 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: Your word stands true throughout the ages. God, I worship 34 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: you for giving me the ability to speak life. I 35 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: praise you for creating me in your image and giving 36 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: me the authority to speak over my circumstances. Speak life 37 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: over yourself. Sometimes when life gets difficult, it becomes easy 38 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: to fall prey to self pity. You begin to complain 39 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: about your situation and to murmur against God. You must 40 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: not do this. Not only is self pity and murmuring 41 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: against God a sin. When you do this, you give 42 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: Satan an opportunity to attack. You do not forget. You 43 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities 44 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: and powers of evil of this world. And your words 45 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: have power. What you say can alter your state of 46 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: mind and affect your physical body. So instead of speaking 47 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: words of death over yourself, speak words of life. Speak 48 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: words of encouragement. Speak God's word. Speak the mind of 49 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: Christ over yourself. Speak your heavenly identity, who you are 50 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: in Christ. Speak God's love over yourself. Speak of His 51 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: goodness and his promises. Remind yourself that you are more 52 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: than a conqueror in Christ, who strengthens you. Remind yourself 53 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: that all things are possible to those who believe prophesy 54 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: blessings over your life. Perhaps you have been struggling with 55 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: what comes out of your mouth. Perhaps the words you 56 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: have been speaking over yourself have been of death. This 57 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: is your chance to change your circumstances. Confess your sins 58 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: to the Lord. Ask God to forgive all the evil 59 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: words you spoken into the atmosphere. Let God into the 60 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: areas of your heart where his peace does not yet reign. 61 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 2: Take a moment now to dwell on God's words spoken 62 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: over you. Thank the Lord for speaking life and not 63 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: death over you. Thank him that he calls you beloved 64 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: and blessed. Thank him for declaring you to be the 65 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: head and not the tale. Thank him for having predested 66 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: and proclaimed his victory upon your life. Do not forget 67 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: God is present and he is listening to you. Ask 68 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 2: God to break the ill word spoken over your life, 69 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: both by yourself and others. Pray for God's mercy and 70 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: grace to cover you and to protect you from harm. 71 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: Pray for God's word to come to pass in your life. 72 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: Pray and speak words of blessings over yourself and those 73 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: around you. Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you to 74 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: control your words so that what comes out of your 75 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: mouth will align with God's word. Remember what you say 76 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: can bring life or death, and you will reap the 77 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: consequences of your words, so be careful with what you say. 78 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: Do not waste your breath or your time speaking ill words. 79 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: Choose instead to speak life. Speak life over yourself and 80 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: those around you. Speak God's words and declare his blessings 81 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 2: this day and all days to come.
