How many of us are expecting great things? Of course, we all want things to be better for us than last week or last month or even last year. I want to help you get started to having that kind of life right now. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 12:14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. In other words, the words that you speak can satisfy you with good things in life. What you say with your mouth can either bless or curse your year. Prov. 18:20-21 says A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips shall he be filled. Death (curse) and life (blessing) are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. You can choose to be satisfied or to be filled by your very words. The word produce in the verse can also be rendered “production.” By a man’s much speaking will he be filled with plenty. However, we are warned about our words that they can either be death or life to us. You and only you can bless or curse yourself because the power is in your words. Now people can speak negative things over you, and to you, in order to curse you, but you have the power in your mouth, and in your words to change it to a blessing.

Do you understand that the power to have a great, prosperous, bless, overcoming, abundant life is in your mouth and words. Let me say this, you cannot speak just anything. You must speak what God’s says. You must search the Word of God to find out what He says about you. God has so much to say about your body. He says by the stripes of Jesus you are healed. Therefore, this is what you say about your body. You do not speak words like “my back is killing me”. God says He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Therefore, this is what you say concerning your finances. You do not speak words of lack or poverty. Remember death and life for your body, finances, family, marriage, ministry, and every area of your life is in your words. If you will monitor your words for 1 month it will amaze you how much things in your life will turn around for the better. Now I must tell you about a few things that will hinder your words from producing good in your life. The Bible says in Galatians 5:6 faith works by love. In other words, if you do not walk in love with people and treat them according to 1 Cor 13:4-8 your words will have no faith to bring goodness to pass. Another hindrance is becoming offended. Mark 4:17 the Parable of the Sower refers to a unproductive ground or heart that hears the Word of God, receives it with gladness then when problems and persecution arise they become offended.

When the devil starts attacking you in your mind don’t become offended. When someone speaks harshly to you or hurts your feelings don’t become offended. This will cause your words out of your mouth not to come to pass. Don’t let satan rob you of anything in life. Start speaking His Word out of your mouth. Obey the Word of God when he speaks to your heart. God desires for you to have it all in abundance to the full until it is overflowing. Write down what you are believing for and place pictures of it around your home in your car and when you see it speak it out and say I believe I have received such and such. I encourage you to go for that prosperous life. A life where you hear and obey God in every area.
