Make a decision. Proverb 15:4 tells us that a tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Decide today that you will watch what departs from your lips. Make a choice to speak God’s blessings over your life. Through the power of the Holy Ghost we have the power to speak God’s blessings over our lives and with the same tongue (if used negatively) can speak curses over our lives.

Here’s an example of things we say that sounds harmless but is actually stopping God’s blessing in your life and cursing you:

I’m poor; I’m broke; I have no money
I have (name of disease), I’ll never get healed from it.
I’m ugly
I’m a failure
I’ll never find love
God doesn’t love me
My marriage is going to fail
I’m going to lose my job
I’m stupid
I’m a worrier
I’m sick and tired of _________.

By speaking these words, you’re claiming it to be so in your life – you’re decreeing and declaring brokenness. Even if you are sick, don’t go around claiming it, instead say you’re healed. Do this for every other negative thing in your life. Remember words are seeds that can yield a good or bad harvest in your life –depending on what you speak. The very essence of our being was spoken into existence by God. Monitor what you speak. Every time you want to speak negative, stop, ask God to change your heart and to renew your mind. Then, fix your mouth to speak God’s blessings upon your life instead:

I’m more than a conqueror
I’m prosperous
By the strips of Jesus I am healed
My marriage is saved
My spouse and children are saved in Jesus name
I have God’s favor upon my life
I’m the head and not the tail
I have my career job in Jesus name
