Words Are Spiritual Things – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 21st
(The Power Of The Spirit In Your Words)
TO THE BIBLE: John 6:63 NIV
“The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.”
LET’S TALK
The excitement during our worship, praise, and thanksgiving would not produce life if the contents of the songs aren’t conveyed in words that are consistent with the New Testament of Christ.
No matter how loud the shouting is, without the Spirit, it’s an empty shout because the Spirit makes all the difference. When you speak the right words, the Spirit acts upon them.
For example, it’s the reason we can speak from where we are and say to someone who’s thousands of miles away, “Be healed,” and a blind person in China will receive their sight, or someone in faraway Mongolia who’s been crippled from birth starts walking.
Such things happen because of the power of the Spirit in our words. Words recognize no seasons or barriers.
Words are things; they’re tangible and potent with creative energy. So, don’t say, “Well, I wasn’t serious when I said it”; in the realm of the spirit, everything you say is living and active. It’ll work for you or against you. That’s why we emphasize speaking the Word only; speaking truth.
The Bible says, “For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37 NIV).
Don’t use words carelessly. Know, think, talk, and sing the Word—whether in merrymaking or in praise to God!
Let your life be consistent with God’s truths, and you will be amazed at the resulting blessings in your life.

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word to live by. I utter words that are consistent with your will, plans, and purposes continually, knowing that my words are filled with power to produce results for your glory. I deal and speak wisely always; my words inspire faith in others for healings, salvation, and blessings, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
