Am I Teaching VAIN Repetition?

{formerly entitled:

God’s Words Are Life}

.

In John 6:63 Jesus teaches us – “the Words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”
.

.
When we believe what Christ taught us about His Word(s), we will see yet another reason WHY we MUST keep confessing God’s Words from our mouths and/or over our lives.

Christ told us His Words ARE life.
Not maybe.
Not sometimes.
But, all the time, and all of His Words …. Christ’s Words ARE life.

.

Isn’t this yet another great reason why we should WANT to be speaking God’s Words only, out of our mouths?

.

Think about how fear-filled words produce fear and emotional bondage to those who believe and speak the fear-filled words and to those who hear and believe the fear-filled words.

So it is with God’s Words. They produce life and faith to those who will hear and believe God’s Words and to those who will believe and speak God’s Words.

.

If we are having any trouble at all, believing a Promise of God or seeing a Promise of God accomplishing in our lives what the Word says it should be accomplishing, then we need to keep our mouths speaking that particular Promise, so that we can meditate on the Promise to build our faith and so that we can ensure nothing contrary to that Word can have its way in our life!

.

.

Romans 10:17 teaches us – “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”
.

And Mark 11:23 teaches – “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say … and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he SHALL have whatsoever he saith”
.

.
These two Scriptures alone, are good enough reminders that the Word of God should be continually rolling off our tongues.

This is not some ‘bondage’ or ‘legalism’ that I keep harping on,  nor is it likened to the Scripture which states “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking ” {Matthew 6:7}.

Why?

Because we are not using VAIN words or VAIN repetitions.

The Words Christ spoke ARE LIFE.
God’s Words are ETERNAL.
God’s Words are SPIRIT.
God’s Words are FLAWLESS.
God’s Words are TRUTH.
And again, God’s Words are LIFE.

.

Listen to what your mouth is speaking, when you are out in public, where your mouth isn’t guarded as closely as it is in prayer.

Is it speaking LIFE, in agreement with God’s Word for your life?
Or is your mouth speaking death and fear and defeat and hopelessness.

.

Praise God for His life-giving Words today, and make a determined effort to speak only God’s Words from your mouth …. in public as well as in your quiet time.

By doing such you will be building your spirit with faith {Rom 10:17} and speaking God’s LIFE into your own life {John 6:63}.

This is not bondage or condemnation …
Nor is it some heathen philosophy ….
No … this is true FREEDOM and POWER !!

Hallelujah!
