Many of us have heard it taught that our words frame our world, but how many of us actually live each moment of our life as if we truly believe that is so? If we truly understood the power in our words, we would pay a lot more attention to what we are saying.

What are you saying? When people talk about the economy and the possibility of losing their jobs, what are you saying? When you hear talk of terror threats and possible danger, what are you saying? When the doctor states the prognosis, what are you saying? And when your mind tells you that nothing in your circumstances will ever change, what are you saying?

In today's unsure world, there is one thing we can be sure of—the Word of God. And it's time to replace our words with God's Word in order to see His promises come to pass in our life.

Never has it been more apparent than in this day and hour just how much the Body of Christ needs an anchor. We have that sure, fixed anchor in the Word of God! It's time we learn to trust in it with our whole heart. The Body of Christ needs to come to an even deeper understanding that God's Word will endure any amount of pressure we put upon it, because it is higher than the heavens and it has been established by God Himself.

God's Word is our infallible guide! We need to renew our minds with God's irresistible Word. Let's take our position with God's Word as our weapon and our refuge, for His Word will never fail us!

One of the most amazing truths in the Bible is that God spoke the world and the vast reaches of the universe into existence. God's words are absolutely irresistible! He simply spoke it, and it was; the worlds came into being.

Nothing can stand in the way of the words that God speaks. There is no force in the universe that can refute, come against, or deny the power in God's irresistible and irrefutable Word. There is no force strong enough to nullify God's Word. The Bible is God's Word, and no Word of His is void of power or impossible of fulfillment (Luke 1:37, AMP)!

In Genesis chapter 1, we find that the very existence of the world began by God speaking it forth. God spoke, and whatever He spoke came into existence and it stood fast (Ps. 33:6,9). Irresistible words!

Imagine what power there is in the Word of God. God's Word cannot be opposed; it conquers and overcomes what it was sent forth by God to conquer, overcome, and defeat. There is no circumstance that God's Word cannot change; there is no problem which may have tried to master you that God's Word cannot overmaster; there is no mountain or problem in your life that is too high for God's Word to surmount! The Scripture declares that even the very pillars of heaven tremble at the words that God speaks (Job 26:11).

Words! God used words to bring the universe into existence. When God says something, it happens! God spoke irresistible words that could not be refuted, that could not be denied, that could not be opposed, and what He declared came into being. God's Word has undeniable, irrefutable, incontestable power! It can create, affect, change, dismantle, and solve any problem in your life too!

You see, the words God speaks contain something. They contain power, strength, ability, might, and all dominion! Therefore, we need to learn to speak God's Word! All the needs of mankind are met, satisfied, and fully supplied through the Word of God (Phil. 4:19, 2 Cor. 1:20).

Words are containers. What does a container do? It holds or contains something. Because the Word of God is holy and pure, it contains love, joy, peace, power, ability, might, and so forth. Whatever pertains to life and godliness—God's Word contains it! In fact, God's Word contains within itself the power to create whatever it says it will do! No wonder God could use His words to create the universe!

However, many people don't realize that their words are containers too, and when they speak, they are pouring the contents of those words out all around them. The words people speak can either contain faith, happiness, joy, and peace, or they can contain hatred, unbelief, despair, and division. Words either pollute the listener, or they build up, add to, and edify those who hear them. Words people speak have an effect upon the speaker and upon the hearers of those words.

For example, the words spoken to a child as he goes out the door to school can help determine whether that child succeeds or fails that day. If you're constantly telling someone that he is a failure and will never succeed in anything he does, those words are likely to stay with him and bear fruit in his life. Words spoken to a husband or wife can either contribute to a sense of well-being or to a sense of failure; they can either build up and edify, or they can tear down and destroy.

We live in an environment of our own making—one that we have largely created by our own words. So we need to be careful to create the right kind of atmosphere and to speak the right kind of words, not only for ourselves but also for the sake of our loved ones.

Have you ever been under pressure in your life and had someone speak soothing, comforting, life-giving words to you? Suddenly peace settled upon you, and all the stress and turmoil were gone. On the other hand, you've probably also experienced feeling peaceful and tranquil and then had someone speak harsh, angry words to you and you began to feel provoked and irritated. The words you speak bear fruit. Your words determine what kind of fruit will be produced in your life and in the lives of your loved ones. The spoken word bears fruit.

Words create or destroy. We speak words every day and those words create an "atmosphere" around us. "I can't." "It's impossible." "I'll never make it." "This will never work out for my good." Those words will make you a failure. But if you have the living Word of God hidden in your heart and you quote His Word, God's Word will make you a success: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." "Greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world." "I have the mind of Christ" (Phil. 4:13, 1 John 4:4, 1 Cor. 2:16). God will honor His Word that you've sown in your heart, and His Word will put you over and make you a success in life!

The words that we speak can leave an atmosphere charged—either in a good, healthy, and positive way, or in a negative, unhealthy, and destructive way. Words are containers, and it's no coincidence that God used words to speak the worlds into existence. In His infinite intelligence, He could have used any method to create the universe, but He chose to speak it into existence.

Since words are containers, you can see how vital and powerful it is for you to speak God's words in every situation. Yes, the words of man contain power, but how much more power (and life-giving power) does the Word of the living God contain? God's Word contains life! Therefore, it's important for you to be filled with God's life-giving Word—His Word of ability and might.
