The Power of Our Words

By Douglas Hoover

How important is our tongue? One obvious answer to this question would be, if it wasn't for our tongues we would not be able to communicate by forming and enunciating our words. The key to unlocking the sources, causes and reasons for Job's suffering and great loss can be found in the hidden truth about the "power of the tongue." The recorded history of human success and failure can be traced back to the power of words through the tongue.

For you to completely understand how God intended our tongues to be used, we must go back to the very beginning.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and everything that is on it, under it, and above it. What is written about how God actually created everything? Well, the Bible records in Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. What is the key word in the process of God's act of creating? SAID! He spoke everything into existence by the power of His Words! God and His Word are the same. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [This verse has been translated the same in all Bible translations with the exception of the Jehovah Witnesses.]

God used words to create everything. Everything was formed and made by God speaking everything into existence by the use of words. Jesus came to earth not only to save us from our sin and eternal death, but He also was here to show us the character and nature of the Father God and the power contained in our own words. Jesus said, if you see me, you have seen the Father, the Father and I are one. If He was here to show us the true nature of God the Father and how He expects us to live our lives, we will have to ask, what did we learn from Jesus?

Jesus said, I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly, and the thief [Satan] comes to steal, kill and destroy. So if there is any killing, stealing, or destroying going on, according to Jesus, who's doing it? Is cancer or sickness the abundant life? Is poverty or lack the abundant life? What is God's will in the area of sickness and/or poverty?

Well, let's take a look at the model prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is-where? In heaven! Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. What is God's will on earth? The same as it is in heaven! Is there cancer in heaven? Is there sickness or lack or poverty in heaven? Keep in mind, this is a model prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray. So the next time you question whether or not sickness in your body is from God, you know the answer, no!

Once we understand where sickness comes from, we can understand why we are able to get rid of it! God clearly reveals that both death and sickness originated with sin and are being spread by Satan. Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. Romans 5:12-21 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Remember, Jesus showed us the true nature of our Heavenly Father. God spoke everything into existence with words and Jesus did the same using words.

Everything Jesus did, He did by faith in God. Jesus said in John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me. John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says. You shall have whatsoever you say! Cont. Part2
