SPEAK OUT!

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;” (Psalms 107:2 KJV)
You are the redeemed of the Lord, so go ahead, and let everyone know it. Make your declarations known to the enemies. Declare that you will no longer be stagnated. Declare that you will no longer suffer delay. You are moving to the next level. You will break barriers, you will break boundaries. You possess kingdoms and territories. When you open your mouth to speak, it announces victory over the enemies. When you begin to declare who you are, all the forces of darkness will be on the run. Your declarations announce your arrival.
Jesus declared who He was throughout His earthly ministry. He says: “I am the light of the world! I am the way, the truth, and the life! I am the bread of life! I am the water of life! I am the resurrection. When you make declarations like that, you are releasing divine resources. When you make declarations, you are summoning divine resources and divine advantage. God is saying it is not enough to know that you are redeemed, you need to say so. Open your mouth and make your declarations.
God told Joshua, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” (Joshua 1:8 KJV) You can’t afford to not make declarations. The more you say it, the more you hear it. The more you hear it, the more you act it because as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. Don’t let the book of the law depart out of your mouth. Your mouth is not given to you for food only.
What have you been saying lately when you wake up? What have you been saying about your children? What have you been saying about your family even in the face of obvious contradictions? Remember that death and life are in the power of your tongue.
