Words are powerful. They frame thought patterns. What a person
hears and believes is very important as words always have the capacity to
impact people and their lives either positively or negatively. That is why you
should cross check the source of the words you hear, internalize and believe. Therefore,
whoever you pay attention to; internalize the words and speak the words is very
important. Who you listen to is very important.
Words that originate from God always have the capacity to enrich and
enlarge you and make you a better person. These words are like the rain that
comes in due season; that is at the right time to bless the earth. The word of God is powerful. The word of God gives
believers advantage over the world by giving believers advance information of
what God has done concerning our lives and whatever situation confronts us.
It is a battle of words and words that originate from the kingdom of
darkness are like the polluted waters of Jericho that was causing barrenness
and death in the land. Please see 2nd Kings Chapter 2 verses 18 to
22, Exodus Chapter 15 verses 22 to 26. That is why Elisha went to the source of
the water where the water was polluted to bring about healing of the water,
decontamination from source and healing in the land.
This is why the devil manipulates through negative
reports. Refuse to entertain and believe negative reports. The devil
consistently uses his agents to create and foster contrary and negative
situations through their speeches and actions – daily confessions of
negativity, impossibilities and what have you to make you think, focus on and
reflect on impossibilities, and how to cope; sometimes resulting in worries,
anxieties, and fear and of course, unbelief and consequently recourse to sinful
actions, usually suggestions from the pit of hell.
