The Body of Christ has underestimated the value and importance of words. Words were originally intended as creative agents before they became agents for communication. In Genesis, chapter 1, from verse 1 to 25, every time God spoke, it was to create a part of this world.
He said ‘let there be’ 7 times in the first 25 verses and each time, His words created something material and tangible.
It was not until verse 26 that we see God using words to converse. He said ‘let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness’.
This should tell you that you are ‘like God’ and you are not merely communicating when you speak. In actual fact you are creating your experiences.
Your problems in life are not the work of an enemy. They are the result of your own words. When you become aware of the potency of your words, even your enemy will be at peace with you.
