And he had in his right hand
seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword…
Revelation 1:16
Your mouth is a
dangerous weapon which can work for or against you, depending on how you use
it. When the Bible tells us to take “the sword of the spirit, which is the word
of God” Ephesians 6:17, the term “sword” is actually referring to your
mouth. The Greek word translated “mouth” actually means “the front or edge of a
weapon.”
When you open your
mouth and begin to speak words in faith, you are using your weapon to ward off whatever
comes against you. You can use it to cut the adversary down, and chart the
course of your life! When you say, “I rebuke this sickness in the name of Jesus”,
you are destroying that sickness from its roots! You are cutting down the
cancer, cutting down the diabetes, cutting down that heart trouble.
When you rebuke poverty in the name of Jesus, you are
destroying poverty from your life.
Now, with this
information in your mind, imagine how terrible the consequences when you talk
negatively to yourself. When you say things like “I’m so sick” or “I’m broke.” Do
you know what you’re doing? You are turning that same weapon, which should have
been targeted at destroying the adversary, against yourself. In essence, you’re
like a man who points a loaded gun at his own head to destroy himself. When you’re
conscious of what happens as you speak, you’ll be more careful with your words.
Refuse to talk negatively in your life; use your mouth to speak words that will build your life and keep the adversary defeated. Let the consciousness of the cutting edge of your “mouth-weapon” be in your mind every time you speak. Use your weapon the right way today, to keep the enemy where he belongs- and that is under your feet.
