“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” (2 Corinthians 4:13)
Our words create our world. Our words determine our future, for they reflect the spirit we have. Do we have the spirit of faith, or the spirit of fear?
The spirit of faith that Paul is referring to here, is speaking of the Holy Spirit.
The words you speak are important! They are filled with something! They are either going to be filled with the life creating Spirit of God, or they will be filled with the deadly poison of the spirit of fear.
Jesus reveals to us in John 6:63: “It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.”
The word “are” here is translated from a Greek word “Esti” which can also mean consist. The Holy Spirit is the One who gives life, and the Words Jesus spoke were filled with the Spirit.
Proverbs 18:21 AMPC put it this way; “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].”
The stakes are high. Your words can either contain the Spirit of God and bring life, or they can contain the spirit of fear and bring death.
Look at what Jesus said in Matthew 12:34-37: O generation of vipers, how can ye being evil speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Jesus said, that out of the abundance of our heart, we speak! That is what words are. Words are expressed thoughts. What you think and what you believe in your heart is what you will speak.
If the thoughts of our heart contradict God's Word, then these thoughts will either be empty or will be filled with the spirit of fear.
As we speak these thoughts, evil, and death is what will be produced in our life. He said the words that are filled with evil condemn us! On the other hand, He said that words filled with good things, like His Holy Spirit, will produce life.
So, if what we believe is what we speak, then we should be forming our beliefs by the Word of God.
Romans 10:17 says that faith, or what we believe, comes by hearing and by hearing the spoken Word of God. God’s Word is filled with His Spirit. When we fill our hearts with His Word, we are filling our hearts with His Spirit.
According to Romans 10:9-10 what we believe in our heart causes us to speak and act a certain way! If we believe that Jesus is Lord, we will confess that He is Lord. As a result of speaking what we believe from our heart of faith will make our salvation a reality.
In James 3:1-13 we see that our mouth is referred to as a fountain, which releases sweet water or bitter water. Our mouth, what we say, has the ability to release the Spirit of God, or the spirit of fear.
Spirit filled words from a heart of faith brings the Glory of God on the scene in our life. God’s life is available for you now. You can receive His life and see Him actively at work through the thoughts and words you think and speak.
Once more, I praise God for you and for your prayerful and financial support with this ministry. You are helping us make a difference. With your prayers, and financial gifts you are helping us fulfill the prophetic vision of being “Your Voice of Freedom.”
If you have any prayer requests, please contact us, and we will pray for you.
I want you to know that I will continue to pray Psalm 91, Ephesians 1:13-23 and Ephesians 3:14-21 over you and your family as well. God bless you richly in all things.
Your Partner in Ministry,
Pastor Rory Synoground
