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 realized it or not, you are prophesying your future. This is great when we’re saying things such as, “I am blessed. I am strong. I will accomplish my dream. I’m coming out of debt. “That’s not just being positive; you are actually prophesying victory, prophesying success, prophesying 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 are prophesying
defeat. It’s just like they’re calling
in bad breaks, mediocrity, and lack.
The
Scripture says, “We will eat the fruit of our words.” When you talk, you are
planting seeds. 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 can’t plant cactus
seeds, poison ivy seeds, or mushroom 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 appositive 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. Instead of saying,
“I’ll never get well, William. This sickness has been in my family for three
generations,” plant the right seeds by stating, “God is restoring health back
unto me. This sickness didn’t come to stay; it came to pass. I’m getting better
and better every day,” you keep sowing those positive seeds and eventually
you’ll eat that abundant fruit-health, wholeness, victory.
Instead of
saying, “I’ll never get out of debt. I’ll never rise any higher,” you start
speaking he promises of God: “I will lend and not borrow. Whatever I touch
prospers and succeeds. I’m coming into overflow, into more than enough”. Start
sowing seeds of increase, seeds of abundance. No more “I’ll never accomplish my
dreams.” Instead, “I have the favor of God. Blessings are chasing me down. The
right people are searching me out. New opportunities, new levels are in my
future”. If you’ll keep talking like that, you’ll reap a harvest of good
things.
