Word Matters

It is my belief that what we say about ourselves and others is important; especially as parents and leaders.

Scripture tells us that there is POWER in our words... (Proverbs 18:21). We can use it to speak death or life. Scriptures (1 Peter 2:9) tells us that we are a royal priesthood; a chosen generation, a holy nation, and a peculiar people. As a child of God, we have access to His promises. We declare (positive affirmation) and/or decree (command, ordain) the promises of His word as well as those things He commands us to speak.

So....understand the delegated power of declaration and decrees. It is simply a submitted son or daughter of God speaking His word, affirmations, and commands into the earth through understanding of His word by relationship with Him. I use them a lot- now with purpose. However, we can inadvertently declare or decree- example- if we keep saying we are sick and tired- chances are great that we will be sick and tired. Remember a time where I said that something was making me sick....well I couldn't shake this cold, my husband told me to be mindful of my words and as soon as I stopped saying it- I began to get better..

Think on these things as we form words for use today. Speak life to people and death to the things that need to die.

Be blessed on purpose!
