Power of the Tongue
“I’m not smart enough, I’m not spiritual enough, I don’t have a purpose, I don’t matter, If I was to walk away from the position I am in or no longer do what I am currently doing it wouldn’t make a difference, and I’m not pretty enough!”
These are the words I found myself speaking into the atmosphere and over my life. I found myself comparing my accomplishments to those around me. I found myself putting them on a mantle that would dehumanize them. Like they never felt what I felt that they are crazy anointed and never have feelings or doubts. With these things rushing through my mind I had to come to a complete stop and literally cry out to God!
“HELP ME!! My thoughts are crippling and I know they are not what you have spoken over my life!” I know who I am and whose I am but for some reason these thoughts are rushing in all at once! I know that I am made for such a time as this. I know that every creation God has created he called it GOOD! So why am I going against what he has said?!
In the midst of this I knew God called me for a specific purpose and I know in order to fulfill what God has for me I can not let the devil speak lies into my mind let alone me repeat them into the atmosphere!
I was instantly drawn back to a verse I always hold near and dear to my heart:
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He (God) has made all things Beautiful in his own timing!
Every time I read that verse it was as if I was reading it for the first time. It has made me realize that I have been made unique. I have been made to be Lauren and impact lives. I can not follow him doing what he has called me to be by trying to be someone he has NOT called nor made me to be!
Instead of speaking death and misery over myself I need to speak life into the atmosphere and let the positive words manifest everything God has called me to be.
Your words hold weight. I have always grew up being compared to those around me and I felt that I should alter myself to fit that image. Be mindful of what you speak over those around you because it’s the power of God inside of you that will cause storms to cease if you demand it to, it will cause mountains to move if you tell it, and chains to break if you have faith and believe it!
So why don’t you?!
The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
-Proverbs 12:18
Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit —— you choose.
- Proverbs 18:21
