It also blew o a portion of the roof right above my head. When I saw what was happening, I spoke to that tornado. I said, "In the Name of Jesus, you get out of here! Dissipate!" We learned from the newspaper the next day the tornado had formed just outside town and gone to the convention center. But that's where it stopped. It never went anywhere else. Wow! Was I glad I had quit saying, "That just blows me away"! Those are not the words I wanted to come to pass that day. They are not words my angels could have acted on to protect me. Psalm 103:20 tells us that God's mighty angels hearken to the voice of His Word. So, practice speaking God's Word all the time. Don't wait until trouble hits or you're in danger. Make declaring God's promises of protection a regular part of your life. Then, as He promised in Psalm 91:3-16, Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that fl ies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot." [The Lord shall say of you,] "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation" (NKJV). Hallelujah! What a wonderful way to live! you. The devil can work with words of fear. He cannot, however, work with words of faith. So when trials arise he always pressures you to say something negative. Have you ever noticed that when you start experiencing symptoms of sickness, for example, you feel almost eager to talk about them? You have this burning fl eshly desire to fi nd somebody and tell them, "I feel sick." The devil is behind that. He knows if he can get your words, he can get you! One of the greatest challenges you'll face in the faith life is keeping your mouth in line. It's not easy sometimes to make yourself say the right thing. But, praise God, you can do it! You can get your heart so full of the Word that when trouble comes you immediately start speaking words of faith. Instead of saying what the devil wants you to say, you say what God says and what you want to come to pass. I began training myself to do that when I fi rst began studying Mark 11:23. Jesus said there: "Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." I got the revelation from that verse many years ago that I needed to get to the place where I believe that my words come to pass. I also realized that meant I needed to stop saying things I don't want to come to pass. Ken and I got that revelation at the same time. So, we quit using even seemingly trivial colloquialisms. We stopped saying things like, "That thrills me to death" or "That just kills me." After some years went by, however, a new phrase became popular that I adopted without thinking. The phrase was, "That just blows me away." For a while, I used that phrase. When talking about something that amazed or impressed me, I'd say, "That just blows me away." But then I heard Jerry Savelle say the Lord had told him not to use that expression. So, I decided to stop using it, too. A few weeks later, I was teaching Healing School in Tallahassee, Fla., one stormy Saturday. I could hear rain and thunder outside, but I wasn't paying any attention to it. Then suddenly—BAM!—I heard a loud noise and saw drops of water falling on my open Bible. A tornado had hit the convention center!
