There Is Prophetic Power in Your Own Voice
What are you saying about yourself?
The Lord knows who you really are. He knows the high-quality, exceptional, best version of you. When He created you in the womb He purposed to raise you up through Christ’s power to become all He intended you to be in Him.
Through whose eyes do you view your life? When we are little we have an unfiltered reception of words. If something derogatory is spoken about us or to us those words go in and unfortunately form our beliefs about ourselves. If something positive is spoken to us fortunately they form our beliefs about ourselves.
Then, as those beliefs are formed in our hearts we began to be speak those words out of hearts through our mouths about ourselves.
Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Colossians 3:9-10 - Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
How do we put on the new self? How are we renewed in knowledge after the image of our creator?
If you have a poor self-image you will speak poorly over your life.
If you have a good self-image you will speak well over your life.
The Lord is deeply invested in you having your self-image formed by what He says about you.
