MIND YOUR LANGUAGE – Pastor Chris
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith (Mark 11:23).
You must learn to speak in alignment with God’s Word, not with the language of fear or negativity that the world teaches. For example, instead of saying, “l’m afraid it’s going to rain; simply say, “It’s going to rain!” Don’t talk fear!
If you’re searching for something and can’t seem to find it, or you’re trying to move something heavy, what should your response be? Never say, “I can’t?” You see, that’s what the world has dropped into the hearts of many that’s so difficult to eradicate. But you’re different. You’re a child of God, and in our Kingdom, we talk differently. We speak faith, not fear, doubt, or unbelief.
Using the expression, “I can’t” reinforces a mindset of limitation. One might think it’s just about a specific situation, like not being able to move something, but it’s more than that. It’s incongruous with your divine nature. Recall what Paul said: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13 NKJV). In Christianity, we have the “I-can-do” mentality. It forms the basis for our communication.
2 Corinthians 4:13 says, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.” We speak the Word. We speak in alignment with the divine realities of our heavenly Kingdom. Life is about what you say. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”*_ So, mind your language; speak right. Speak truth; God’s Word is truth (John 17:17).
CONFESSIONI take my place of dominion and reign through words. I walk in divine health, victory, peace and prosperity. I live above the elements and debilitating forces of this world because I live in Christ, I’m seated with Him, far above Satan and the wicked forces of darkness. The world is subject to me. Blessed be God!

Romans 12:2 AMPC
Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
1 Peter 3:10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Mark 11:23 NKJV
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
