A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
(Proverbs 18:20-21)
Whether you realize it or not, you are eating your words. The fruit of negative words produce a negative life, while the fruit of positive words produce a positive life.

Because of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, He regained dominion over the devil that Adam and Eve’s sin had relinquished. Jesus then gave that dominion back to believers. The way we exercise our dominion is by speaking the words that God gives us to speak—words that are in agreement with His Word.

God planned for you and me to be in the earth at this time. He has a job for each of us to do. To get that job done, we must cooperate with His way of getting His will accomplished in the earth, and His way is through the words that we speak.

God created the world with His words. Hebrews 11:3 says, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God….” Every part of creation came into being when God spoke.

Psalm 103:20 AMP says, “Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, hearkening to the voice of His Word.” The angels are ready to move when you speak the Word of God. This is why I want to encourage you to personalize scriptures, then decree and declare them.

Always remember that what is in your hand—the rod of God’s Word—is going to swallow up what is in the enemy’s hand.

DECLARATION OF FAITH
I hunger and thirst daily after God’s Word. By the words of my lips, I am creating a positive, successful life. I lift the rod of God’s Word and impossible situations become possible.
