"......Upholding all things by the word of his power…..." (Heb 1:3b; KJV). It is God's powerful word that upholds everything. We are told in John 1:1 and Col 1:16 that this world was created by his word. God literally spoke the world into being: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Gen 1:3). That's how powerful God's word is.

 In Hebrews 4:12 it says that: "the word of God is quick, and powerful......". The centurion certainly believed that when he told Jesus to just speak the word trusting that his servant would be healed as a result (Luke 7:7). This reminds us of Psalm 107:20 that says God sent his word and healed them. Words in our mouths can be equally powerful if we speak them in faith because Prov 18:21 tells us that "death and life are in the power of the tongue." 

When faced with negative situations we can speak life into them by speaking the word and allowing it to energize and effect our situations; God watches over his word to bring it to pass (Jer 1:12).
