Have you ever stopped to consider what words come out of your mouth on a daily basis? In Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) it says, "death and life are in the power of the tongue". That verse also implies that we will eat the fruit of our words, good or bad. What we say is really what we believe in our hearts (Matt 12:34). This is well illustrated by the confession we made when we were born again (Rom 10:9-10). We confessed belief in Christ with our words and asked him to be Lord of our life. This was only of value if it reflected the faith of our heart.

Jesus said that if we believed we could speak to the issues and challenges in our life (mountains) and they would move (Matt 17:20). If we believe we will receive what we ask for, it will be ours (Mark 11:24). Job said the things he feared had come upon him (Job 3:25). If we speak and confess evil we will reap a harvest of evil. Ask God to put a guard over your mouth (Psalm 141:3) so that only God's word is your confession over your life and that of others - and see the results.

As we speak God's word it builds our faith to receive the promises from His word (Rom 10:17). That's what I want, how about you?
