Words: We all grew up hearing the saying:

 “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

May I tell you that is a bigger lie than most of us comprehend!

Most all of us have heard teachings, sermons, and stories that help us to truly know that we need to speak positive words and not negative.

We have all heard how God created the Heavens and the Earth with words and we should speak positive things.

However, this morning may I take all we know about positive vs negative speaking a little further.

Have you ever heard the phrase “Word Curses”?

For a moment let’s change “Positive vs Negative” to “Curses vs Blessings”.

I am reading a book that is a true story of one who was deceived and strayed from God and her concept of “Word Curses,” prompted me to dig deeper into this truth.

There are so many scriptures on Blessings and Curses that we will just scratch the surface of this truth, but I want to guide your mind in the direction of how powerful our words are.

When we say something negative to another person, or about another person, or gossip about someone else the seed of a Word Curse has been sown. This seed can find soil already torn up with hurt and confusion and begin to grow into a major stronghold.

When we speak about or over someone things we see wrong or things we perceive that are negative/Word Curses we direct their lives and attitudes and they become what we are speaking.

When we or others speak Word Curses over us, we grab hold of those and begin to act like and become what they or ourselves are saying.

If you hear that you are ugly and will never amount to anything, your spirit will let that seed take root and no matter how beautiful and smart you are, you believe and act like you are ugly and you never try to amount to anything.

Now, again, this is deeper than negative and positive speaking. You are either speaking life or death to yourself and others and others are speaking life or death to you.

When you say or hear “Blessings/Positive” words, the same happens. The seed is planted and finds root and begins to grow. We or others then become what we believe about ourselves, through the words that give life or death.

Matthew 12:37 (KJV)
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Matthew 12:36-37 (MSG)
³⁶ Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously.
³⁷ Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.”

Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 (KJV)
²¹ Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
²² For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Matthew 5:44 (KJV)
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

What do we do if we have spoken Word Curses about someone else, even in just a conversational way?  We begin to Bless that person, even if they wronged us. We begin to speak truth and the life of God for them into the atmosphere. 

Speaking Blessings negates the curses.  Undo the damage by calling forth the person you know God wants them to be.  Let the forgiveness that the Savior gave you come forth in the Blessings you call forth into their life, body, and spirit.

What do we do when others have spoken Word Curses over or about us?  We begin to speak Blessings over our self. We begin calling out the person God created us to be.  We begin to call forth the truths that are in the Word of God for ourselves and our family. And that breaks the stronghold of the curses that may have been spoken over or about us.

James 3:10 (KJV)
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Please pray the prayer below with me and use it to form your own prayers of Blessing. This is a short version because there is so many Blessings you can declare over others.

Father God, I decree and declare that all who read this are strong, and healthy.  I decree and declare that each one of us are kind and show the love of God to all around us. I decree and declare that our minds are brilliant, and our spirits are filled with your love. I decree and declare that we are all making decisions that line up with your Word. I decree and declare we are all finding favor everywhere we go, and Blessings are chasing us and running us down. I decree and declare our minds, wills and emotions are lined up with the spirit of you the living God. I decree and declare every stronghold in our lives that does exalt itself against the knowledge of you is pulled down and cast into hell. I decree and declare this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

I call forth the Life of God and all he created you to be to manifest itself in your life!!

Love, MeMaw
