THE POWER OF WORDS
Date Teaching Given: August 14, 2023
God’s Words are part of your authority.
God’s Words are another weapon against your enemy.
You can change the circumstances in your life with words.
Words matter. Words are more important than you realize.
God has delegated authority here on Earth to you. Your words have authority to create every time you speak, not just when you pray. When you speak positive words in prayer but negative words the rest of the time, your negative words will prevail.
Matthew 18:18-20
Matthew 16:19
Matthew 12:36-37
You are snared by the words of your mouth (Proverbs 6:2). Don’t open a door and let Satan in (have control/power of your life) by professing things that are contrary to your prayers and God’s Words.
If you complain, you remain in your circumstances.
The Lord said to Charles Capps: “I told My people they can have what they say, but they are saying what they have.”
If you speak what you have (your current circumstance), this is what you will continue to have. It will not change. Saying what you have doesn’t change anything. You must say what you want the circumstance to be; speak it into existence.
1 Peter 2:24
Deuteronomy 30:19
Galatians 3:13-14
Proverbs 4:20-23
Don’t claim a worldly report because Christ has already paid the price for your healing.
Which report do you believe: the worldly report or God’s report?
The devil’s (worldly) report is death and destruction.
God’s report is redemption, freedom, healing, blessing, favor, and victory.
Whatever you believe (and speak) is what you receive (have).
The Word of God is health and healing to your flesh (Proverbs 4:22).
Take God’s medicine (His Word) just like you would take a prescription. Speak it over yourself several times a day until you are healed.
Speaking what you “have” keeps you in the same situation.
Jesus is the head, and we are the body. You align with Him by being in agreement with Him.
God is Jehovah Rapha. He is your ultimate healer. Align yourself with His Word and you can have His result.
Speaking and believing God’s Word is God’s plan for dominion.
How do you become born again?
You have to believe with your heart (that Jesus was born, died, and raised from the dead) and speak this out of your mouth.
Say, “Lord, I thank you that Jesus was born for me, that He died for me, and that He was raised from the dead for me. I believe that He is my Lord and Savior. I welcome You into my heart, Father God. I thank You and praise You.”
Once you are born again, you receive all God’s other blessings by using the same process (believing in your heart and speaking it out of your mouth).
Words are powerful. They are life and blessing.
Romans 10:8-11
It matters what you believe in your heart and speak out of your mouth.
“Take my life, Father God, and do something with it to further Your Kingdom.” -Gloria Copeland
Genesis 1 (Read the entire chapter.)
Matthew 12:34
God created with His Words. God spoke all creation into existence.
You are created in His likeness and image (Genesis 1:26).
He created with Words. You create with words.
You have a special purpose (in the Body of Christ). You are important to God.
Words have creative power.
James 3:3-10
Your adversary tries to control you through your mouth (with your words).
The tongue has the power to destroy if you don’t keep a close watch on it.
You can’t control your tongue on your own. Ask for God’s help to control your tongue.
You can’t speak both blessing and cursing.
Deuteronomy 30:19
The judge is God. The prosecutor is the devil. Jesus is your lawyer. You are the defendant, and you are the witness.
You choose who wins with the words you speak.
Choose the Words God has spoken over you.
Choose what Jesus has spoken, and what He has provided for you through the Blood Covenant.
Jesus died for you.
God has forgiven you.
You either speak blessing and life or persecution and death. You either agree with God or Satan.
Job 1:9-12
God couldn’t take down the hedge of protection because that was His promise to mankind. Satan couldn’t take down the hedge of protection. Only Job could take down the hedge of protection through the power of his words.
Job 6:23-25
Words have power.
Proverbs 18:21
John 10:10
Deuteronomy 28:13
You choose life or death by the words you speak.
Speak life and blessing.

Numbers 13:30-33
God’s people have a right to choose.
God’s report is that you are more than able.
The evil report is a lie.
Don’t go by what things look like. Don’t walk by sight.
Numbers 14:1-9, 11, 27-28
Isaiah 55:11
Psalm 115:16
Luke 10:19
Don’t blame. Don’t complain. Don’t get offended. These are distractions to get your focus off God.
Have a firm, focused foundation on the Father.
Don’t speak contrary to God’s Words. He hears everything. He hears your words, and He has to allow them to go forth, whether they are blessing or cursing.
If you speak God’s Words, He is faithful to perform them. He honors and upholds His Words.
You have power on this Earth. You exercise this power by speaking God’s Words. You change your circumstances by speaking God’s Words.
Proverbs 6:2
The word ‘snare’ means to catch or to trap.
Don’t give Satan the power to trap you (through your words).
You choose life, blessing, favor, and abundance by the words you speak.
God can’t make you choose these things, but He desires them for you.
Are you going to take what God says is yours or are you going to let the enemy steal it away?
Do you want to stay in the wilderness or enter the Promised Land?
Say this every day, “I believe God.”
