The Power of Your Words

                Throughout the New Testament we marvel at the miracles that Jesus performed. He healed the sick, made the blind see, turned water to wine, and performed many other mind-boggling miracles. Have you ever thought about how many of those miracles were performed by using words? Think of when Jesus healed the man of his leprosy.

 “Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ’Be clean!’ Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.” (Matthew 8:3)

 Think of when Jesus calmed the storm. “…Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.” (Matthew 8:26)

Now let’s go way back to the creation of the world. “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)

When God speaks, in Heaven or on earth, He means business. In Isaiah 55:11 it says, “…so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

                All this to say, God’s words are powerful (Hebrews 4:2). And if you are right with the Holy Spirit, then your words are powerful because of God’s manifestation in you. In Philippians 4:13 it says “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” Because of what Jesus did on the cross, you have become a Child of God. And because of that, you inherited the power of the Holy Spirit. SO USE IT! Command cancer to leave in Jesus’ name. Command the spirit of anxiousness to go in Jesus’ name. Satan and all his principalities have no power over you. You have the King of Kings and Lord of Lords with you wherever you go. Make Satan regret ever touching you by using your words and scripture against him.

                Just as your words are capable of bringing life or a positive outcome to a situation, they are also capable of bringing death or a negative outcome to a situation (Proverbs 10:11). It’s your choice. I am constantly reminding myself to use my words for the glory of God. I have personally experienced the power of words in both contexts, the good and the bad. There is incredible power in your words, so use them wisely.

 

I hope this encouraged and inspired you as well as many others.

Love Grace

COVID-19

I haven’t posted in a while, but what better time to post than in this time that everyone is calling a crisis. It feels like there is no peace anywhere to be found. Everyone keeps saying that God is in control and that everything will be okay. But the number of COVID-19 cases seems to be rising constantly. Every time there is a new reported case, all kinds of fearful thoughts come into our minds. Will I get sick? Should I go to the store? What about my family? Are they safe? But Martin Luther King had a great quote that I want to share with you. “You cannot keep birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair.” –Martin Luther King                 The birds are your thoughts. The enemy uses your thoughts to make you start believing things that aren’t really true. You can’t keep thoughts from flying over your head, but you can choose what thoughts you want to dwel...

Sin

I’ve talked a lot about sin in the past. Sin is one of those unavoidable topics when you’re talking about Christ and the Gospel. Sin was the main reason Jesus came and died on the cross. Because of sin, we were separated from God. But, as I have discussed before, when Jesus rose from the dead, that meant we will rise again in Heaven with Him if we repent and accept Christ as our Savior (1 Corinthians 6:14). But that isn’t the end of the story. That’s why the Holy Spirit led me to write a post about sin.                 Almost everyone knows the story of Adam and Eve. If you are unfamiliar, you might want to check back at my “Repent” post, or read Genesis 2-3. That is where sin on earth started. It’s the background info on sin. Before I go any further, I want to make sure everyone knows what sin is. Sin is anything that separates us from God. (The Ten Commandments has a few examples of sin.) Now that everyo...

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! Here you'll find encouragement to share the Gospel with others, as well as posts to deepen your love for Christ. Grace Inspirations started with letters. I would send "sermons" through letters to my neighbors. God put it on my heart through some very special people to start a blog. And here we are! My posts come from many different places. Sometimes they will be based off of things I've seen or heard. Or maybe something I've come to realize. They can come from one of my old notebooks, or maybe even some of those letters I sent to my neighbors! I try to post as often as I can. As I am a student, I have a busy life. But it's not really on my time-table. It's when God shows me something I need to write. I am always glad to share what God shows me with you! I am learning right along with you! Whether you have been a believer for years or you have never heard the Gospel, this blog is for you! I write to everyone and I enjoy e...
