Speak Words of Life

Jesus said, “Except a grain of wheat fall to the ground and die, it abides alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.”

Have you ever struggled in a dark place?

You don’t see how in the world life can get any worse. Maybe you question why you have to face such hardships.

Seeds germinate in dark places, don’t they?

Mighty oaks spring forth from the acorns burial site. They grow in the rain and the sun, during times of storms and drought. Their roots dig deeper into the soil during adverse circumstances.

We are like those mighty oaks. Jesus wants to cultivate us and grow us into the purpose He’s planted in us.

We can choose to stay in those dark places of grief, pain, and loneliness. Or, we can decide to open our ears and listen for Jesus’s voice call to us from the light of His love and mercy.

We can stand around in the mire of anger, envy, strife, and unforgiveness. Or, we can stretch up toward His light and begin to live out the call God has given us.

When all is said and done, it’s up to us to believe what God says to us for ourselves.

I believe He wants us to begin to speak life into each other as we bury His words in our hearts. We can speak life to others when we’ve first spoken that life into our own spirits.

Begin to speak purpose over yourself and others.

Begin to speak speak truth in your heart and with one another.

Begin to minister to yourself and one another in Agape Love (God’s Love).

We can do this when we lay aside the lies the enemy whispers in our ears and focus on what God says about us.

It doesn’t matter what other people think, do, or say about you, or your problems, or your worries.

God desires us to see ourselves and one another the way He sees us in Christ: A new creation, a free man or woman, fully forgiven, called by His name and for His purpose. He’s working even when we don’t see it. He wants us to grow and flourish; all of heaven wants us to succeed.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth,” (KJV 3John 1:2).

His arm is not shortened that it cannot save; His ear is not dull that He cannot hear your cry (Isaiah 59:1).

He sees. He knows. And there’s plenty of room at the feet of Jesus.

No one can stop what Jesus wants for you.

I asked the Lord what would be the most helpful in moving us closer to His heart, closer to one another, and closer to our God-given purpose.

God gave me seven statements that have the power to help us overcome the voice of the enemy and allow seeds of purpose to germinate in our spirits.

These statements are not to exalt us, but to exalt the God in us.

The truth of God’s word stands behind each of these statements. It is His Word that grounds us in God’s truth, focuses our attention on the source of the power that lies within us, and humbles us when we become aware of the Glory of God working through us.

I believe these seven statements are like precious seed the Master Gardener wants to sow in your heart. Once buried, that seed of potential planted by God will germinate and grow. It will burst forth, transforming your life and bringing forth a harvest for Him and for His glory.
