We are living in a world of words and as Manly Hall, the Canadian-born author and mystic said, "Words are potent weapons for all causes, good or bad." Due to the fact that this is so true, I have devised a quiz, so that you can test yourself to see whether you are aware of the profound effects that positive words, or negative words have.We often say words thoughtlessly but also, many times, we do not really mean what we say. In sense, we live in a semantic universe. Have you ever heard a father say that his child is dead lazy, or have you heard someone say, "I wanted to die, when.."perhaps he ran into a colleague that you were trying to avoid? Is that really what that person really meant, that is, that he wanted to die? Of course not, so you can see how vital the choice of positive words are.
Everyone of us expects positive breakthroughs in life, like having a successful business venture, getting out of debt, to be healthy or having a right life partner, but nothing is changing because Often we make a mistake, when we talk ourselves out of our plans by speaking negative things. You cannot talk defeat and expect to have victory. The moment you speak something out, you are giving life to something good or bad. Negative thoughts come to every person, you can't stop the thoughts from coming into your mind. The key to success is not to speak out negative thoughts. Do yourself a favor Be positive and zip your lips.Negative words can keep you away from your destiny. If you will roam around saying that I am not qualified enough, I don`t have it in me, I am too young or too old, I don`t have what it takes, then you would become exactly what you are saying.God has called every one of us to do something great. He has put some special talents within us. It's easy to make excuses but God wants us to move forward.Just imagine that your success is on the way, and you are talking about how it`s not going to happen, how you will never get the right things in your lives. May be you are a couple of months away from seeing the answer you are waiting for, maybe you have been praying or expecting good results in a specific sphere of your life. But right before it happens, you start verbalizing wrong words and the good things around you stand still.
When you choose to see the world as a friendly place you set a positive expectation that where ever you go, loving, caring people are ready to help you succeed. You step out into the world knowing even if there are scam artists and evil doers; there are good people out there ready to guide you to positive outcomes. You are the one who makes decisions for your life and the faceless 'they' can only influence your decisions if you let them. You are the driver of how you deal with the world. You decide to deal with the world as if it is hostile or as if it is friendly.
'As If' thinking is a very powerful tool that can work for or against you. Since you are in charge of your thoughts you are the only one who can turn your negative 'As If' thinking into positive 'As If' thinking. When you catch yourself fighting that invisible enemy out to get you--pause--and choose to practice acting as if the world is a friendly place. Start by playing 'what if'--what if everyone in my world was out to help me achieve my greatest desires? What would your world look like? What options and opportunities would open up for you? For example:
If negative, abusive and destructive words have been spoken to us and we have allowed these words to take form and develop in us and believed them, we are living under their control.However, if we choose to cast down those words and throw away those paintings, and choose to let God's Word paint new pictures of love and wholeness, purity, prosperity and ability in us, we will find a new way of living. Here is an example of the power of negative words: Some time ago, I sang in church pretty often. I loved to sing, and still do. And people enjoyed when I sang. But one day, someone that I respected told me that I could not sing. This produced in me an inner image of failure in the area of singing. I stopped singing. And when I was asked to sing, I would make excuses so that I didn't have to sing.
In our own language we say expressions without thinking, but in another language we tend to notice the literal meaning of words and phrases. For example, there is a phrase in Italian "Non vale niente," that means it isn't worth anything when often the thing is being compared to another thing, but it does not really mean that the object is not worth anything! Another phrase e.g. "morire di noia" means to die of boredom. Translated in a typical sentence could be "I am so sick of working, I hope to die of boredom when I retire." Obviously, a person doesn't really want to die like this when they retire.
The Book of Proverbs says it like this, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21, The Holy Bible) To doubt the power of our words on our lives as well as the lives of others who believe in what we say, will work against us, if we do not pay heed to ensuring that what comes out of our mouths is positive, good and right.
Let us look at a few examples. If you are in dentist's waiting room and the nurse comes in and says, "I do apologize for the delay, but the dentist has had to do an emergency treatment. I would be more than happy to help you if it more convenient for you to make another appointment.". Or if you have to walk into a supermarket and the manager explains "We are so sorry for the inconvenience, but we are changing the display to make it easier or our customers" If you are anxious about a situation and a friend tells you "Don't worry, everything will turn out alright." What a healing, calming effect those positive words have.
Well, if satan can use negative and destructive words to paint negative and destructive pictures in the heart of people, so that they can live them out and destroy themselves and others, doesn't it stand to reason that if God Almighty can get His positive and powerful thoughts on the canvas of our imaginations, He can change our lives and give us a great self image that will produce joy, inner peace and victory in our lives.If the enemy can use words of lust, perversion and violence to form the inner image of mankind, resulting in people becoming in their experience what they think, how much more will the Word of God develop a god-like character of wholeness, purity and productivity in our lives through the process of meditation.
God's Word is alive.God's Word has transforming power.The word, transform means: to change from one form to another. (And in the context of this book, we are indicating that change to be for the better).So God's Word is able to give you such a new and glorious and powerful inner image that you will literally change in your manner of life.Words form and create the inner image and produce a lifestyle after their kind.That is why it is so important to be careful what you hear and what you speak.Words are seeds. And your heart is the ground in which the seeds are planted.If the wrong seeds of despair and inability were planted they will produce after their kind.However, God's Word is powerful seeds of truth that can up-root the bad seeds and produce wonderful fruits in our lives.Through the affirmations of God's Word, we see ourselves and our conditions from His perspective and we are enabled to change things as His Word changes us on the inside.At one point in my life, I felt like I was a failure. It just seemed like I had not accomplished anything noteworthy with my life.And I was constantly plagued with the thought that I was a nobody.It was depressing.But thank God for His Word.Through affirming His Word over my life concerning the reality that I am a child of God, I rose above the depression that tried to hold me down.You see, God is my Father. And because I belong to Deity, the one thing I am not is worthless.I am His Child filled with His power, His Spirit and His Ability.I am created for good works in Jesus Christ.That means I am created to do some good things.And so are you.Ephesians 2:10 (King James Version of the Bible) "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, unto good works, which God had before ordained that we should walk in them."You are created to do good things. You are created to accomplish awesome things.Affirm this Word from Your Father, Jehovah God, over and over until it forms an inner image of success and victory on the inside of you.Let it wash away those destructive thoughts of worthlessness.God's Word in your heart, changing and shaping your mind in the light of His Truth, will change you.Change your mind through the power of meditation, and change your life.
