WORDS CREATE IMAGES

With God's words you can create His image of you. The more of His words you use, the more you will have a clearer image.

I could tell you about the airplane the ministry owns. It's a single-engine plane. That gives a certain image. It's tan and red with brown stripes. Now you have a better image. If I told you its registration number, you could go to the airport and locate it without ever having seen it.

You could point to it and say, "That's it!" Why? Because that's the image I built in you with words. I created a video in your mind by a proper sequence of words concerning my airplane. Words affect you that way by perfecting the image.

This is why Jesus said, "Take heed what you hear." (Mark 4:24.) You don't need to hear all the things the devil has said because his words also create images. Jesus made this powerful statement as He spoke to Satan: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.” (Matt. 4:4.)

Reciprocal Truth

There is also a reciprocal to this truth: If man shall live by every Word of God, then man will die by the words of the devil! If you speak God's Word, it will impart God's life to you. If you speak the negative things the enemy says about you, those words will bring defeat, doubt, unbelief, and can eventually cause spiritual death.

Man shall live by every Word of God. Why? Because there is life in every Word of God. As Jesus said in John 6:63, ... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

There is still Spirit life in the words that

Jesus spoke. He imparted the Spirit that was in Him into every word He spoke. The words He spoke can impart that same Spirit life to you!

If you can live by the Word of God, then you can die by the words of the devil. The negative words of the enemy will bring death, for the world is moving in a negative stream. If Jesus' words impart Spirit life, then the words of the devil impart spirit death. The spirit Satan imparts in words brings destruction.

Take Heed Who You Hear

Words make a tremendous impression on the human spirit. Be careful who you follow after and who you fellowship with on a consistent basis.

I have heard people say, "Yes, I know that person is off base in a few areas. But I'm like an old cow—smart enough to eat the hay and spit out the sticks!"

But let me tell you a true story about a horse we had. This horse was eating hay every day, but one day we noticed she wouldn't eat a thing. This went on for several days so we called the veterinarian, and he came to examine the horse. He looked in her mouth, then he ran his arm into her mouth almost up to his elbow and pulled out a stick that had been stuck there.
