Our Words
James 3:3-13 The words we speak can affect our lives and the very atmosphere around us. Our tongue is small, but powerful and our words determine the course of our lives.
Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
In the Hebrew the words translated ‘living soul’ actually mean speaking spirit.
We are speaking spirits, created by God to be like Him and operate like He does. In Genesis chapter 1 we see how God does things. God said “Light be,” and light was. God said, God said, God said. He created us to speak, to use our words to establish His plan and purposes in the earth.
Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 
We must choose life, choose blessing. Our words are directly connected to our choices. We choose what we say. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Of course, the words we speak are directly connected to the thoughts we think. This is why renewing our minds to the word of God is so important. We can’t think like the world (those who don’t know Jesus) thinks and be able to speak words of faith and power.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The word translated ‘transformed’ in this verse comes from the Greek word metamorphoo and it’s where we get metamorphose or metamorphosis from. It means to transform or change like a caterpillar changes or morphs into a butterfly. To change into something completely different. This is the power of the word of God.
We renew our minds by reading, meditating and speaking God’s word. That’s why so many Bible teachers and pastors will tell us to read a chapter every day; they know we need to change our thinking, so we can change our lives.
Our thoughts and our words set the course of our lives and determine our success or failure.
- Read the Bible. Put God’s word in your heart and mouth and change the way you think.
- Speak God’s word. Confess the promises of God, say what He says.
- Expect to receive from God.
God bless,

A Satisfied Mouth
Psalm 103:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
My mouth was unsatisfied. I was unaware of this fact until I heard myself mumbling about it. I had just finished my lunch and I complained, (to myself but it still counts as complaining). “That was okay, but my mouth is just not satisfied.”
As soon as I said it I was reminded of the above scripture, which we had recently studied at church. I reread it and suddenly I saw verse 5 in an entirely new light. God wants my mouth satisfied both with what comes out of it and what goes into it.
A satisfied mouth is one that speaks good things. Good things like the Word of God, the promises of God, faith, hope and love. What comes out of my mouth determines my future and the course of my life. What I say matters.
I am also convinced that God wants my mouth to be satisfied with the food I eat. For me this includes the amount , as well as the type of food.
Let me give you a little history. I am what I like to call ‘fluffy’. (My doctor calls it morbidly obese…tomato, tomahto.) I have been known to over indulge, snack, binge, and generally put too much food in my mouth, hence the fluffiness. I have not had huge success with dieting. Okay, I have not had ANY success with dieting.
I like to eat. I call myself a grazer. I would snack on something nonstop; like nuts, candy, cookies, whatever. So to say that counting calories is a challenge is an understatement.
My husband and I recently decided enough is enough and we needed to loose weight; for our health, our joints, and our love life. We got an app on our phones to track calories and began to pay attention to what we were eating, and how much. In the past such an endeavor would not last longer than three days at which time I would announce that ‘dieting is too hard’ and since Eric (my husband) loves me just the way I am, why put myself through the hassle?
This time, before I could reach the point of surrender, I grumbled about my unsatisfied mouth and God gave me Psalm 103:5. Now, over a month after we started our diet, I have lost 11 pounds and I have not quit. Everyday I confess this scripture and I say, “My mouth is satisfied.”
Now I am expecting the rest of that verse to manifest. God satisfies my mouth with good things, so that my youth is renewed like the eagles! I expect a renewed youth, increased energy and a decreased waistline. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
