POWER IN YOUR WORD, YOUR WORD- BY GREG ELKAN

_Take with you words, and turn to the LORD..._ – Hos 14:2

Words have power, not just in a figurative way, but in a palpable, literal sense. 

Long before the ‘Word of Faith Movement’ ever considered making _‘confessions’_ a doctrine, it was already being practiced to full effect by the kingdom of darkness. 

_Speaking_ is a hallmark of the _‘Secret’/“Law of Attraction”_ cult; it is also the primary medium of African fetish animism; and even the power of so-called “white” magic relies on the _proper enunciation_ of the right “spell” in order for things to happen. 

Not only do these practices show us that things happen when we speak, they also tell us that “Nothing Happens Until we Speak!”

These occult practitioners evidently stole this principle right out of scripture. Because, right from the very first page of Genesis, we see the principle of creative speaking being put to work. Gen 1:2,3 says that, at the beginning, the primordial Earth was formless and chaotic and remained that way _until_ God spoke!

As God spoke – and continued to speak – things started taking shape, order came out of chaos, light out of darkness and beauty out of formlessness.

Now, does this mean that if God didn’t speak, then nothing would have happened? Of course not! The Omnipotent Elohim could have just as easily _thought_ the entire Cosmos into existence and everything would have popped up into existence all at the same time. But I believe God decided to create the world, step by step, through words in order to teach us a useful principle, a principle that we can go on to apply in our own respective ‘worlds’. When your perfect world becomes barren, formless and under a _“roaring ocean covered with darkness”_ (Gen 1:2 CEV), then follow the pattern of your Father in Heaven – and SPEAK light and life to the situation.

Because, as He has shown us from the Creation account that words have power, and nothing happens until you SPEAK.

AMEN

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
