The tongue - a powerful force

The greatest revelation I received years ago as a christian was the revelation on the tongue. I remember reading Mark 11 : 23 and the impact it made on my life . Notice that Jesus said in the latter part of that verse  ....." he shall have whatsoever he saith."  Like Brother Kenneth E Hagin used to say ( this was one of his favourite  passages of scripture ) Jesus mentioned saying 3 times in this verse so what you say must be important .  In fact what you say is so important it could determine the outcome of your life in the here and now. Proverbs 18 : 21 says " death and life are in the power of the tongue : and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. So one can safely assume that in the light of this scripture your tongue will produce fruit , whether good or bad. Look at Ecclesiastes 5 : 6 "suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin " This is probably one of the most amazing scriptures on the results of what you say. I made many bad decisions in my life because of stubbornness. In the process I lost my wife and children through divorce. However I made a decision to humble myself before God and allow Him to work with me. My children were on drugs and going down. There was no hope for us in the natural. I started speaking restoration over my family even when it looked as if nothing ever was going to happen. I spoke life instead  of death.I can boldly testify that by the Grace and mercy of God my marriage is restored , my children are serving the Lord and studying towards their respective qualifications. To God be all the Glory. Start speaking the Word of God over those dead situations and see the life of God bring you into victory
