that being thrilled kills you. Just keep
things simple. Follow what James says
Jesus' instructions are and "let your yes
be [a simple] yes, and your no be [a simple]
no, so that you may not sin and fall under
condemnation" (James 5:12, Amplifi ed
Bible, Classic Edition). "For whatever
is more than these is from the evil one"
(Matthew 5:37, New King James Version).
Even better, learn to use Bible covenant
words. If you're expressing excitement
about something God has done, don't say,
"It was incredible." That literally means it
couldn't be believed, and you're a believer. So
instead use a scriptural word, like awesome.
Or, to quote Psalm 118:23, say, "This is the
LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes"!
You might think I'm just nitpicking here,
but I'm not. Your words count. What you say
is what you receive. According to Matthew
12:37, "By your words you will be justifi ed,
and by your words you will be condemned"
(NKJV). Speaking death, fear and unbelief
will work against you. Even if you think
you don't mean what you're saying, you will
be "snared by the words of your mouth"
(Proverbs 6:2, NKJV).
On the fl ip side, believing and speaking
the life-giving truth of God's WORD will
deliver you from the devil's snares. It will
release God's power on your behalf and
activate His plan in your life.
Faith-fi lled words dominate the laws of
sin and death! You proved that when you got
born again. In your own way, you confessed
with your mouth The LORD Jesus, believed
in your heart that God raised Him from the
dead, and you were instantly saved. Your
faith-fi lled words delivered you out of the
kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom
of God's dear Son, and the devil himself
couldn't stop it from happening.
The same principle works when it comes
to longevity. You can use your words to
lay hold of long life and to dominate the
corruption in this world that, if you let it,
will rob you of some of the years God has
promised you. You can believe in your heart
and continually confess with your mouth
that you're going to live a long, satisfi ed life.
