Scripture Reference: "We will say of the Lord, He is our refuge and our fortress, our God; on Him we lean and rely, and in Him we trust” ( Psalm 91:2)
A few years ago, we shared a message about how critical the Word of God is to the believer. The Word of God is the fuel and sustenance of our relationship with God. The Word of God is the food for our spiritual lives. The more we dine on the Word of God, the more the impact and effect of God’s Word in every area of one’s life.
In a similar way, the words we speak have dynamite power. Whether we speak negative or positive words, our words carry power. The reason why this is the case is because that is how God created us as human beings (Genesis 1:3). A few years ago we had the privilege of serving in prayer and counsel a young couple about their young children. The children were having extremely bad dreams at night and woke up in their sleeps screaming. These young parents were scared and needed help. After our first prayer time together, we provided some scriptures and encouraged them to beginning “speaking” God’s Word over their children and use the scriptures in prayer. They provided an update a few weeks later, saying that they were seeing great improvements in their children and they were sleeping through the night without any incidence at night. They were relieved and grateful. This is one of the many blessings of God’s Word.
It is a new year, and many people will be making resolutions, and there is nothing wrong with making them. However, research shows that most of the resolutions made in January are typically non-existent by February. There is a much surer approach to transformation- it is the consistent power of God’s Word in the life of a believer in Christ. This approach is typically embraced by followers of Christ; and all are welcome to give the Word of God a try.
Recognizing how powerful the Word of God is and our words, gives us a deeper and keener awareness to the presence of God that lives inside of us. It gives us a keener awareness of the Holy Spirit. The more one is aware of the presence of God and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the more one becomes aware of the creative power of one’s words.
As the new year 2026 begins, let us “speak” the Word of God. Whether in prayer, or in encouragement to others. Let us be more cognizant of our daily surrender to the workings of the Holy Spirit. As we continue in this practice, we will release on the inside a storehouse of power, discernment and alignment to the purposes of God. We kick off this new year declaring: Let God’s will be done here on earth as it in heaven! Happy New Year!
In Christ’s Love,
