Watching Over Our Words

We must watch over our words!

The Word of The FATHER through the Mouth of Jesus has no more power than the Word of The FATHER through your mouth!  Jesus limited Himself to the ability of a human being. Jesus chose to live with self-imposed restrictions.  If He had not done so, we would see His acts simply as observers.  Instead, His acts and Words are to be examples for us to embrace and follow.

Jesus affirmed this Truth as He spoke in John chapter 8:

28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”

30 As He spoke these Words, many believed in Him.

When Jesus spoke, He was dependent on FATHER.  When He acted, He was totally dependent on FATHER.  When Jesus spoke, He released power for healing and deliverance for every Word of GOD has the power within Itself to cause It to come to pass.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 8:

5 When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a captain in the Roman army approached Him, asking for a miracle.

6 “Lord,” he said, “I have a son who is lying in my home, paralyzed and suffering terribly.”

7 Jesus responded, “I will go with you and heal him.”

8-9 But the Roman officer interjected, “Lord, who am I to have you come into my house? I understand your authority, for I too am a man who walks under authority and have authority over soldiers who serve under me. I can tell one to go and he’ll go, and another to come and he’ll come. I command my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all You need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”

10 Jesus was astonished when he heard this and said to those who were following him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel!

11 Listen to what I am about to tell you. Multitudes of Gentiles will stream from the east and the west, to enter into the heavenly kingdom with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

12 But many Israelites, born to be heirs of the Kingdom, will be turned away and banished into the darkness where there will be bitter weeping and unbearable anguish.”

13 Then Jesus turned to the Roman officer and said, “Go home. All that you have believed for will be done for you!” And his son was healed at that very moment.

The Word of FATHER through the Mouth of Jesus commanded healing and the boy was instantly healed.  Neither distance nor time was an issue!  Great faith caused the expected miracle to come forth.  There is no distance in decree.  There is no distance in confession. 

If that Word is released through your lips, it has the same power.  This is not about dominating, it is about surrendering, being fully yielded and being willing to obey. 

As we learn to watch over our words and expect them to originate with Our Heavenly Father, we too can expect similar results to that of Jesus’ Words.
