What is the Power of Words?
The Bible says that God spoke the universe into existence. God’s words released a creative power that is beyond my imagination. Yet I do believe that my words, and yours, have a creative power attached to them. If I speak negative or hopeless words, I create a negative and hopeless atmosphere reflected by my negative and hopeless attitude.
How Speaking Positivley Can Impact You
Conversely, if I speak positive, hopeful, faith-filled words, I create an atmosphere that can make what may have seemed impossible, possible. My words can actually create my reality!
Examples of Positive Words and Thoughts
Recently a good friend sent me the following declarations. These are the kind of positive words-thoughts-attitudes that create a hopeful and joy-filled life:
- I will believe, in spite of what I see.
- I will not give in, give up, or retreat.
- I will look the impossible in the eye and say, “Move!”
- I will confess and declare that my life is great and getting better.
- I will replace “I can’t” with “I can” and “I will.”
- I will omit the words “if” and “maybe” and “I don’t believe that.”
- I will expect, prepare for, and experience God’s best for me.
- I will live by a dynamic faith that makes things happen.
- With God’s help, I will move the mountain I face and will not settle for less.
Let us speak positive, hopeful, faith-filled, and encouraging words in every situation, to others, and to ourselves. We create our reality.
