Power of our words

This powerful message centers on a truth we often overlook: our words carry tangible power that shapes our reality. Drawing from scientific evidence—like Dr. Emoto's water crystal experiments showing how positive and negative words literally alter molecular structure—we're reminded that since our bodies are 60-80% water, the words we speak over ourselves and others have profound physical and spiritual effects. The message explores Proverbs 4:20-22, which declares God's words are 'life to those who find them and health to their bones,' alongside Jesus's teaching in Mark 11 that we can speak to mountains with faith and see them move. We're challenged to examine what 'banners' we carry—are we broadcasting past defeats like 'I conquered fear, I conquered sickness,' or are we standing on God's promises? The practical illustrations—from someone who jokingly claimed to have West Nile and then actually contracted it, to the persistent moose that required immediate action rather than tolerance—drive home a crucial point: we cannot afford to be passive about what we allow into our hearts and what we speak over our lives. This isn't about positive thinking; it's about aligning our words with God's truth and refusing to give the enemy a foothold through careless speech or tolerating symptoms and struggles as 'normal.' When we take God's Word as our daily medicine four times a day, we position ourselves for the abundant life Jesus promised.
