Alright, so, a while back I decided to really dive into speaking the Word of God over my life. I’d heard about it, you know, here and there, but never really gave it a serious go. Figured it was time to change that.
First thing I did was, I started to really study the scriptures. Not just reading, mind you, but really digging in, trying to understand what God’s promises are. You can’t really speak what you don’t know, right? So, I spent a good amount of time just immersing myself in the Bible, highlighting verses that seemed to jump out at me, verses about hope, strength, provision, healing, all that good stuff.
Then, I began to write down these verses on little cards. I carried them around with me, in my pocket, in my bag, and whenever I had a spare moment, I’d pull them out and read them. At first, it felt a bit odd, I’ll admit, just reading these scriptures out loud to myself. But I kept at it.
Next, I started to actually speak these verses over my life. Like, when I was feeling down, I’d declare, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Or when I was facing a challenge, I’d say, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” It was tough at the beginning, I won’t lie. Sometimes I felt silly, other times I just felt like it wasn’t making a difference.
But, I persisted. I made it a daily habit, you see. Every morning, before I even got out of bed, I’d speak God’s Word over my day. And throughout the day, whenever I faced a tough situation or started to feel anxious or worried, I’d repeat those verses. I found some verses in Isaiah, too, that talked about how God’s Word doesn’t return void, how it accomplishes what it’s sent to do. That was encouraging.
Slowly but surely, I started to notice a change. Not just in my circumstances, but in me. I felt more at peace, more confident, more hopeful. It was like those words were planting seeds of faith in my heart, and those seeds were starting to grow. It felt like a shift was taking place in my head.
- I realized that speaking God’s Word wasn’t just about trying to change my situation, it was about changing me, aligning my thoughts and my heart with His truth.
- I learned that it’s not a magic formula, you know? It’s about building a relationship with God, trusting in His promises, and allowing His Word to transform you from the inside out.
So, yeah, that’s my journey with speaking the Word of God over my life. It’s been a real eye-opener, a real game-changer. And I’m still on this journey, still learning, still growing. But I can honestly say, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.
And you know what, the Bible says somewhere that we’ll have to give an account for every careless word we’ve spoken. That made me think, if that’s true for the careless ones, how much more power must be in the words we speak on purpose, especially when those words are His words?
If any of you are thinking about trying this out, I’d say go for it. It might feel weird at first, you might even feel a bit crazy, but stick with it. It’s worth it, I promise. It is essential to understand that it guides us through our daily lives. It informs us on the decisions we make. It directs us in how we should conduct our lives as Christians. Remember that all scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, and correcting.
