you are where you are today in part because of what you’ve been saying about yourself. words are like seeds; when you speak something out, you give life to what you’re saying. if you continue to say it, eventually that can become a reality; whether you realize it or not, you are prophesying your future. this is great when we’re saying things like, “I’m blessed, I’m strong, I will accomplish my dreams, I’m coming out of debt”; that’s not just being positive, you are prophesying victory, success, new levels. your life will move in the direction of your words. but too many people go around prophesying just the opposite: “I never get any good breaks, I’ll never get back in shape, business is slow, I’ll probably get laid off, flu season is here, I always get it.” they don’t realize, they’re prophesying defeat; it’s just like they’re calling in bad breaks, mediocrity, lack. the scripture says:
you are planting seeds when you talk; at some point, you’re going to eat that fruit. my challenge is, make sure you’re planting the right kind of seeds. if you want apples, you have to sow apple seeds. if you want oranges, you can’t plant cactus seeds, poison ivy seeds, mushroom seeds (NB: mushrooms grow from spores, not seeds); you’re going to reap fruit from the exact seeds that you’ve been sowing. in other words, you can’t talk negative and expect to live a positive life. you can’t talk defeat and expect to have victory. you can’t talk lack, not enough, can’t afford it, never get ahead, and expect to have abundance. if you have a poor mouth, you’re going to have a poor life. if you don’t like what you’re seeing, start sowing some different seeds.
many people don’t realize, with their words they’re cursing their future. every time you say, “I never get any good breaks,” you just cursed your life. “I’ll never be able to afford that nice house, I’ll never break this addiction, I’ll never meet the right person”; no, stop cursing your future. sometimes the enemy doesn’t have to defeat us, we defeat ourselves. pay attention to what you’re saying; are you blessing your life, or are you cursing it? don’t speak that defeat over your life; our attitude should be, “I’m getting younger, God is renewing my youth like the eagles, I’m getting stronger, healthier, better looking, I’m going to keep my hair, stay in my right mind, live a long, productive, faith-filled life.” don’t go around cursing your future, start blessing your life; prophesy good things.
why don’t you stop criticizing yourself, talking about all the things you don’t like: how you’re getting too old, too wrinkled, too this, too that. stop cursing your life and start blessing your life. start calling yourself healthy, strong, talented, beautiful, young. every morning before you leave the house, look in the mirror and say, “good morning, you good-looking thing.” it’s good to use common sense, to be wise, but if you go around talking about when you’re going to have illness, making plans for it, most likely you won’t be disappointed; you’re calling it in, just like you’re sending it an invitation. stop doing that, and start declaring, “no weapon formed against me will ever prosper. I will live out my days in good health, with a clear mind, good memory, clarity of thought. my mind is alert, my senses are sharp, my youth is being renewed.” you’ve got to prophesy health, a long productive life; your words will become your reality.
Proverbs says: don’t use your words to describe the situation; use your words to change the situation.
