Romans 10:10  ‘For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’”.

• DAILY READING –1 Peter 4; Jeremiah 37-38; Psalm 137

The second most destructive fire in the United States after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was the great Baltimore Fire. In Baltimore, Maryland, a small fire in the business district was wind-whipped into an uncontrollable conflagration that engulfed a large portion of the city. The fire is believed to have been started by a discarded cigarette in the basement of a building. When the blaze finally burned down after 31 hours, an 80-block area of the downtown area, had been destroyed. More than 1,500 buildings were completely leveled, bringing property loss from the disaster to an estimated $100 million. Miraculously, no lives were lost.

Indeed it is amazing how a great fire can be started by just a spark. Just like a little spark can set a whole city ablaze so also the tongue. James 3:5  says the tongue is a little member that can start a forest fire.  Indeed we must not underestimate the destructive potential of the tongue. According to Proverbs 10:21 life and death are in the power of the tongue .Words are powerful and careless words have been known to start wars. That is how powerful words can sometimes be.

And while negative words can lead to destruction, positive words bring deliverance. There is power of deliverance in our words when we speak right. Therefore in the place of prayer, we can speak words that can positively impact our destiny.  The things we believe from God’s Word, we need to declare forth in prayer to bring them into manifestation. The spirit of faith demands that you say or declare whatever you believe. 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’. And Romans 10:10 says ‘For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.’

Indeed you can change your world with your words. There is power in your mouth to bring about a positive turnaround to your situation, And in this season of prayer put your tongue to positive use. Do not keep quiet. Understand that Christ has given you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions. And whatever you bind on earth is bound in Heaven and whatever you lose on earth is loosed in Heaven. Therefore arise and engage  your tongue positively to  secure your deliverance from every negative situation.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to always speak right. And as I release Your power through the words I speak, I thank You for the positive manifestations around me  in Jesus’ name.
