Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
Be a word talker – the word of God. Speak the word only. When we’re in a crisis, the first thing that comes out of our mouth determines the direction we’re going to go. The tongue is the rudder (James 3:4). Don’t send yourself in the wrong direction.
Instead of saying what politicians, the news media, and the world around us is saying, why don’t we say what God says. When we say what men say instead of what God says, we’re elevating their opinions above God’s word.
Psalm 8:3-6
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,
Genesis 2:19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
In naming the animals, Adam gave them their position and assignment. We should be careful what position and honor we give things.
Genesis 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Our words still work and release assignment like Adam’s words did. The question is whether our words are working for us or against us.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
The creation itself is waiting for the sons of God to take their place of dominion and give the creation its assignment.
Romans 8:21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Word from the Lord through Pastor Larry
“Get ready, get ready, get ready, good things are on the way. Get ready, get ready, get ready, God listens to what you say. Get ready, get ready, get ready, and speak the word of God. Get ready, get ready, get ready, and you’re gonna see things change because words have power and words will shape your life. Get ready, get ready, get ready, God is going to remove you from pain and strife. Get ready for the good life. Get ready for things to change. Get ready because it’s gonna happen, it’s on the way.”
