Proverbs 18:21 says,“Death and life are in the power of the tongue”
James 3:2-4 says, “For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.”
Mark 11: 20-24 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
After reading some of Charles Capps‘ teaching on the power of spoken words, I learned to master my body and it’s sexual desire through the power of tongue.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, I started to speak the words of faith to my mind, spirit, and body.
It doesn’t matter whether you feel the promises of God are working. As long as you know the Holy Spirit give you a verse, you speak it. The faith that is contained in the word of God will be released as you speak it and it will deliver 10 out of 1o!!!
You may feel tempted. You may feel guilty. You may feel like sinning. It doesn’t matter. Feeling change, but the words of God remain true all the time. The words that you declare will give you faith and grace. The words will accomplish what they are supposed to accomplish.
As long as my tongue is controlled by the Holy Spirit; i.e. I yielded my tongue to the Spirit. The power of words will work to sustain me.
I felt tempted several times in the last few days, including today, but I didn’t fell into lust. I felt the temptations. I felt like I was going to sin in seconds. But every time the temptations got dissolved.
As long as you tongue is controlled, your whole body is controlled!!!
I no longer describe the power of sin. I no longer talk about my past defeat. I no longer probe into the details of my sinful records and ask God or others, “why did I sin…?” To do that is in fact giving sin power over self. Words have power. Whatever you say, if you put faith in it, it will be done for you!!
If you put your faith in doubts, and you speak the words of doubts, you doubts will manifest and you will continue to doubts. If you ignore your feeling and just speak the words of God, the words of God will manifest.
From now on, speak Romans 6-8 and other relevant verses about self-control, purity, death to sins, etc. And you will start to experience the reality of God’s word.
