The power of words is that they are spoken, believed or acted upon. So also is the word of God. Whether God speaks it forth or you speak it makes no difference — God is behind his word. You don’t try the word out, you trust its operations to see its power. The rule is, believe it and speak it. It is written in scripture: I believe therefore have I spoken (2Corinthians 4:13). When you speak the word believing it, you unleash its power to go forth and work for you. The word of God is not only to end in your heart, it must flow from your mouth. The final bus stop of the word is your mouth. Consider Romans 10:8-10:
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:8-10
It is when the word flows up to the mouth that it culminate in salvation. Some just bury the word in their heart there and are afraid to speak it to their circumstances. The mouth has its role to play for the word to deliver maximally in your life. God himself commands that the word should be in your mouth.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth…. Joshua 1:8
Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts…I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. Jeremiah 5:14
It is God’s word you speak forth that will go as devouring fire against oppositions. It’s God’s devouring fire against Satan, the devouring lion (1Peter 5:8). It is God’s word, his promises and what he has done, that you confess that is called the word of your testimony by which Satan is overcome.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…. Revelation 12:11
The power of the prophets in the Bible was that they were to speak forth God’s word. They of themselves added nothing to its effectiveness. All they did was to echoed what God said concerning a situation, and the word delivers the miracle by its power. God is absolutely constant about his word regarding any situation. He brings to pass what his word says regarding any situation.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
The word of God you speak will effect the miracle you seek.
