YOUR WORDS ARE WEAPONS

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11 (NLT)

How do you live out all the fulfilling plans God has made for you? You have to fight for it. That might sound intimidating, but when you think about it, we fight for everything in our lives in some way.

I don’t mean we constantly fight other people, but that we all contend with different battles, whether it’s to stay healthy, maintain Biblical beliefs about finances or keep our hearts right. It takes a fight to stay full of faith!

Maybe you’re thinking, “I understand what you’re saying, but how do I fight?”

For starters, throughout the day bring God’s Word into your heart consistently. Even one verse a day is powerful! Meditate on the meaningful ways it applies to your life and speak it aloud to lock it into your heart. After all, your words are weapons, and anchoring God’s Word in your heart arms you for battle.

For example, if health issues push against you, instantly speak the Word. You could declare something like, “No weapon formed against me prospers. It comes at me one way but flees before me seven. The Word says I walk in health and will live until I’m a ripe, old age.”

Refuse to live like the person in Proverbs 22:13 (MSG) who saw a lion in the street and said, “If I go out I’ll be eaten alive!” If you see a lion in the street—which is symbolic of a problem heading your way—don’t instantly consider yourself a goner or let it take you out. Your words carry fighting power. Speak God’s Word in faith, and let it carry you through to victory over anything coming against you.
