Speak Over Your Life and Guard Your Thoughts

We don’t realize how powerful our thoughts and words are. Most of the time we speak what we think. Sometimes our words are a reflection of what we’re dealing with in our lives. Whether we’re experiencing happiness, sadness, loneliness, depression, joy, or peace. Our thoughts and words are strong and they affect our daily lives. But we need not fear; because God’s word teaches us what to think and speak concerning our lives.

Guard your thoughts and be careful of where your mind wanders. Our thoughts have a way of magnifying our feelings. Sometimes our thoughts lead us to think things we shouldn’t be thinking. If our minds are weighted down there is no way we can focus on God. Colossians 3:2 says, “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the Earth.” We use our minds to serve God. Most of the negative things we think on, are beneath us. They serve no good purpose in our lives. God tells us, if we focus on him we don’t have to be sad, depressed, angry or hurt. If we focus on our high place, which is in God he’ll keep our mind in perfect peace. There is a peace that only God can provide. Isiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee.” We can trust God with our thoughts, he’ll never fail us.

God gave us the power to speak over our lives. When we wake up in the morning we have the right to declare our day to be blessed and prosperous. When we look in the mirror we should tell ourselves I am blessed, I am healed, I am delivered, I am prosperous, I am healthy, I am loved, I am happy, I am beautiful, I am handsome, I am an overcomer, I have faith, everything I touch is blessed, everything I do is blessed, I have a sound mind, I have peace, I have hope, I will not be defeated, I will not give up, I shall live and not die. Our words should be uplifting and encouraging towards ourselves. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” God lets us know that we have the power to speak over our lives.

We are children of God. Therefore we should behave as such. We have the the God given authority to speak and think ALL the blessings of God into our lives. Our thoughts and words should line up with his word. We are the light. May God bless and keep you.
