The Power of Your Words

In her best-selling book, “The Secret,” Rhonda Byrne details how you can alter your life and feelings by changing the words you speak.

In his new-age bestseller, “The Law of Attraction,” Micheal J. Losier, explains how to attract good things into your life by replacing negative thoughts and words with positive ones.

Both Rhonda Byrne & Micheal J. Losier give similar examples. Eg: If you don’t have money, don’t keep saying “I don’t have money.” Instead, replace those negative words with positive ones. Say, “I am having money.”

According to this school of thought, your subconscious mind will change your behavior and attitude towards money, thus attracting the riches that you’ve been dreaming of.

The key, as they say, lies in getting the right words and thoughts to sink into your subconscious mind (in other words, your heart & soul).

Even Napolean Hill, in his classic, “Think & Grow Rich” advocates the same idea. Donald Trump, the tycoon, is also famous for saying “Think Big.” These people’s lives prove the notion that it is possible to speak things into existence.

Now a simple question – What do you use to think? What do you use to describe your feelings? What do you use to speak? What do you use to pray?

A simple answer – WORDS.

So, it’s not too much to say, your life is made up of WORDS!

All these famous best-selling writers agree that the most successful people in life have realized this power and harnessed it to their benefit - while the rest of the world sits and accepts fate as an inevitable cycle.

Although many of these books and ideas have gained popularity in recent years, these concepts are not new at all.

Even more than 2000 years ago, Romans 4:17 in the Bible says “...call those things which are not as if they were...”

These words sum up the ideas in “The Secret” and “The Law of Attraction” – if you desire for something to happen, THINK about it as if it has already happened. TALK about it as if it has already happened. SPEAK to the situation. FEEL it as if it has already happened – regardless of the current situation.

And what do you use to do that? – WORDS

While on earth, Jesus healed the sick, made the blind see and the lame walk, with the power of His Words. When people pray, I have seen the sick being cured instantly. Even I have experienced instant healing a few times, just harnessing this power – by saying and believing I am healed, in Jesus’ Name. This is the same power He has given to those of us who believe.

I cannot imagine my condition if I simply accept my situation as fate. If I choose to wait for life’s cycle to turn around, then I wonder how long it would take.

It’s true, life has its ups and downs. But whether you ride on the waves like a proud surfer, or drown beneath, depends on what you THINK, SPEAK and ACT.

And you do that with WORDS.

Truly, this concept has existed since the beginning of time. The Bible says:

John 1:1-3

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

God Himself SPOKE the entire universe into existence, with the WORD! This is the beginning of Creation.

And He has given the same power to us today – to speak things into existence.

...if we BELIEVE...
