Words are My Friends

Permit me the luxury of sharing some thoughts about “words” without a single, Scriptural reference but which thoughts are totally based on the Scriptures.

The spoken word, persisted in, carries a creative power—an attribute of God.

Our words call into being that which now abides in the invisible world.  Mind you, this goes beyond “thoughtless” words so much so that we need to become master “word practitioners”, framing every situation with our words.

In “calling” things into the visible world from the invisible, it is not a matter of “straining”, but gentle, persistent believing and speaking.

Words become the instruments of our believing.  In fact, it appears that “believing” apart from words is impossible.

I believe God is pleased with our “large believing” and “large asking”.

We need to be friends with our words, using them most judiciously.

Note:  The way I have put some of these thoughts together may be original with me, but their origins  stem from several authors and principally, the Scriptures.  Use them as a spring board for your own thinking and speaking.
