The Power of Speaking God’s Word

Most of us Christians know that there is POWER in God’s word…there is even power in PRAYING God’s Word.

So how many of you make it a spiritual discipline in your daily lives to SPEAK God’s Word? This is a practice that I learned through watching Joyce Meyer over the past 10 years and have heard it through many other teachers as well.

In Joyce’s book “The Secret Power of Speaking God’s Word” she states: 


“When we confess God’s Word out loud, we write it in our own heart, and it becomes more firmly established both in our heart and in the earth. God’s Word is forever settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89), and we establish it in the earth each time we speak it.” 


She also states “We also have angels available to help us, and they hearken to the voice of God’s Word (Hebrews 1:14 & Psalm 103:20)…This is exciting! 


When we confess God’s Word out loud, the angels hear it and go to work for us. It is easy to see we cannot defeat the enemy unless we wield the two-edged sword of God’s Word…The angels are not activated by our complaining, murmuring, doubting, and unbelief. They want to work on our behalf, that is their assignment from God, but we need to release them by speaking or praying God’s word.”

So I have learned over the past few years, a spiritual discipline of speaking God’s word in my life. I highly suggest you check out her book “The Secret Power of Speaking God’s Word” and “Me and My Big Mouth.”

 The first book I mentioned is literally a book created to speak God’s Word. She rewords Bible Verses so that they become first person so you can speak it for yourself.

For example: Proverbs 16:7 says “When the LORD takes pleasure in anyone’s way,

He causes their enemies to make peace with them.”

She makes it say: “When I am trying to please God, He makes even my worst enemies to be at peace with me.

Besides just speaking the Word, your own words have power as well. The Bible says life and death are in your tongue. So if you are constantly speaking negative words, you are going to have a negative life. On the other hand, if you speak positive words, you are going to have a positive life.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 says: “Then the LORD answered me and said: “ Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.”

I love this verse. I have started not only speaking God’s Word, I have been writing down things that I want to see come to pass. Simple things like…my son is potty trained, I can cook excellent food, I keep a clean home, my hubby accomplishes every goal set before him, and on and on. It doesn’t HAVE TO be all based on specific scriptures. I read out loud off a list every morning of things that I want to see pass, just like what I mentioned before. I have them listed by categories of Home, Me, Hubby and my 2 boys (they each get their own page). I have already seen some come to pass…for example my youngest (age 2 ½) is a little behind on his speech. So I confess daily, that he speaks new words every day. And so far, that seems to be happening. I even confess that nothing in this house breaks, since money is very tight, it will be hard to afford to replace whatever that may be.

So…what do you want to see change in your life? Are there areas you should speak God’s Word over? 


Again I highly recommend Joyce Meyer’s book “The Secret Power of Speaking God’s Word.” I keep it in the bathroom and speak a few verses at a time…even if at that moment, it isn’t what I think I need.
