Word Power 1 - The Power of Confession

There is a little known fact that words have tremendous power over our lives. When you are really aware of it, you can change your life's pattern drastically. However, most people don’t give it much attention and make things much harder on themselves. Yes, the words you speak out of your mouth have an amazing power because your ears hear what you say. Your mind believes every word you say to be true, and it believes whatever you say. Successful people are well aware of this. They know that you can actually create the results you want by speaking them over and over before they happen. Your mind hears these instructions and will actually make them come true.
 

If you want to be Rich, speak about yourself as already being Rich. Speak about how you’re just getting started. Speak about all of the wonderful things that will be happening in your life. Make a conscious effort to speak positively about situations even if you don’t believe them to be true. Your mind will begin to believe them. You’ll actually feel better about the situation itself.

Someone once suggested to think of the worst thing going on in your life right now then begin to speak about it positively, confessing God’s word over it. I strongly agree and endorse that statement! If you’re sick, talk about how much better you feel all of a sudden. If you have money problems, talk about how you’re getting your finances in order and the problems will pass. If you have marriage problems, talk about how you’ll be a better spouse and how much your marriage is about to improve. Then watch, as the problems will begin to fix themselves.

Words work the other way too. Watch someone talking poorly about his or her spouse and I’ll show you a divorce about to happen. I read about someone who, since she was 20 years old, said she would die of cancer one day. I understand she died of cancer at age 37.

On a deeper level, "Confession" merely means to proclaim God's word, as though it was written thousands of years ago specifically for you, because it was!  These are God's precious promises for our lives.  If you have unsaved loved ones, for example, you can believe when you pray God's word into their situation (or any situation of yours) that His Word will not return to Him void, but it will do exactly what it was meant to do" (Isaiah 55:11). By speaking God's promises into your situation, you are praying the answer, rather than focusing on the problem.  In other words, by speaking His words, rather than making up your own, you have the assurance of what His will is regarding the subject. 

Instead of asking Him, thank Him, and give Glory to God for the answer! Remind Him that His word has already provided the solution, and watch the power of God's words make it happen for you, and in other peoples' lives. Positive words can do much, but God’s word is invincible and it cannot fail.
