(The Power To Change Anything Is In Your Mouth)
TO THE BIBLE: Proverbs 18:21 AMPC
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].”
LET’S TALK
The people of Amalek had become one of Israel’s enemies in the early periods of their history (Exodus 17).
Moses needed a win over them in battle and said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands” (Exodus 17:9 NIV).
Exodus 17:10 NIV says, “So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill.” While the battle was raging, Aaron and Hur noticed that whenever Moses held his hands up, Israel triumphed, and when he lowered his hands, the Amalekites succeeded.
The Bible says that “…Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset” (Exodus 17:12 NIV). As a result, Joshua, leading the army of Israel, overcame Amalek (Exodus 17:13).
The truth is the war was won from the mountain; through the lifting up of Moses’ hands, they controlled things in the earth from the spiritual realm.
In Joshua’s day, the revelation progressed: it was about where the soles of their feet treaded upon: “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses” (Joshua 1:3). When they wanted to cross the Jordan, Joshua didn’t have to stretch his hands over Jordan.
The Bible says soon as “…the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest), that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap…so the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho” (Joshua 3:15-16). Glory to God!
In our day, it’s even better! We only need to speak from wherever we are, and God’s power will be activated for supernatural results anywhere in the world. The power is in your mouth! The Word is in your mouth.
The authority is in your mouth, by the blessed Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! There’s no need to climb up a mountain like Moses; we’re already on the mountain of God! We were born there, for the Bible says we’ve arrived on Mount Zion (Hebrews 12:22). Praise God forever!

Joshua 1:8; Ecclesiastes 8:4; Mark 11:23
Speak:
With my mouth, I steer my life in God’s direction for me, in prosperity, health and abundance. I refuse failure, poverty, sickness and anything that’s of darkness. The Word of God is light, and as I speak it forth, darkness is completely obliterated. My victories and triumphant life in Christ are assured. Glory to God!
