Think about it this way: our tongue is a pen in the hand of skillful writer. Do our words tell a story that is honorable to God? We must allow God to use this tool to speak words that glorify Him, our brothers and sisters, and encourage righteousness. We should also use the power we've been given to speak His will over our lives.
The concept of declaring God's will over your life is challenging to grasp, but therein lies mighty power! After all, God created the world by speaking it into existence. Now granted we don't have that full power, but, we've been given a fraction of it to use in our daily lives.
So what does this power of positive thinking look like in our lives? Well, if God has placed a desire or calling in your heart, it means declaring victory in that field. If prophetic word has been spoken over you, it means reminding yourself of the promises God has for you and your life. Speak them as though they will be done without a doubt in your mind. The timing is in God's hands, but good news--God is never late!
Proverbs 23:7 says "As a man thinks in his heart, so he is." It really is that simple. Our thoughts control our actions. So if satan has been filling your mind with negative thoughts of defeat and discouragement, you are likely to begin doubting your purpose and perhaps give up altogether on what you're pursuing. We've been given thousands of positive words of encouragement in the Bible that we can speak over whatever journey God has us on and repeat those scriptures and promises like your favorite song on repeat. Over and over. Eventually they will drop from our head to our heart and be solid truths in our foundation in Christ.
Stand in God's will, speak out of the dreams he's placed in your heart and recite the promises he's spoken to you. Believe in your heart God will fulfill his promises. Your actions will be guided and the plans He has for your manifested. Ask, believe, receive!
"Go, it shall be done for you as you believed."
-Matthew 8:3
