Today we are going to take a posture of peace by speaking life-giving words.
Posture is a short audible fist bump to remind you God is with you in everything.
Together we're going to be emboldened to take a daily posture of perfect peace.
In Proverbs chapter 18 verse 21 it says,
death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Now in the last episode we spoke about the power of the word of God which is now living in us and
how we can partner with his word in uprooting any lesser word spoken to us about us or over us.
And I want to continue that conversation in today's episode because there is so much
life living in you and living in me. Romans chapter 8 verse 11 tells us that the same
spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. I mean just take a moment and let the
magnitude of that truth sink in. In Colossians chapter 2 it says,
in Christ all the fullness of the Godhead lives in bodily form and in Christ you
have been brought to fullness. You are full of life today. And Jesus said in John 4,
that is a well of life that never runs dry. Now you may be feeling dry right now. You may be
feeling frustrated with your circumstances or with the state of the world around you. You may
be feeling tired or depleted or like you just don't know if you have what it takes to move
forward. But the truth is that for those who believe in Jesus, we have his abundant life
flowing in us right now, no matter how we may feel. And this life that's in you is meant to flow
through you. And one way that this abundant life flows through you is through your words.
So what are you saying today? What are you speaking over yourself? What are you speaking
over others? What are you saying about your workplace, your community, your family,
your nation? Now that's not a rhetorical question. I'm really asking and I want to know the answer
because I'm assuming it's good things. I'm assuming that you are speaking life. And so
if you're watching this, please let me know in the comments, what words of life you are speaking
today. Now, if you happen to be feeling some holy conviction right now about the words that you may
have spoken in the past that were not life giving, me too. So how about we repent together and change
our minds and start speaking differently today? You know, the Bible tells us God's mercy is new
every morning. So it's a fresh day. And the word of God living in you is far superior to any word
of death or destruction that you may have spoken in the past. Here's how I'm practicing speaking
life giving words. First, I'm asking a question. I'm asking where, who, what do I want to bring
life to today? And then I start talking. You know, the word of God in our mouths shifts atmospheres.
It creates new realities and it brings life to a world we've all been called to reach.
