TOPIC: Talk To Your Body And It Will Hear You
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37).
Words are the most important things in the world. They’re also the most potent forces on earth. God made everything with words and sustains everything with words—the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). And as read in our theme scripture, words would determine where you live eternally. Death and life are based on words (Proverbs 18:21).
So, what have you done with words? How do you use words? One of the things you have to practise is talking to your body—using your words to keep your body in health and perfection. Every so often, declare that you’re strong; you’re in health; every fibre of your being and organ in your body is perfected by the Holy Spirit.
Talk to your body and it will hear you. The human body is like an “animal” that needs to be trained. Insist on what you want your body to do, and it will start yielding to you. Every part of your body has intelligence; give your body instructions and insist that it obeys you, and in the process of time, it’ll get used to listening to you.
This is something you have to consciously practise if you haven’t been doing it. Talk to your brain, your head, your lungs, your liver, your kidneys, your heart, your blood, etc. If any part or organ in your body has been hurting or seems to have an issue, tell it to be healed and it will comply.
Remember what the Bible says in James 3; you can control and tame your whole body with your words: “For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us…Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things…” (James 3:2-5).
Keep your body in health by speaking life to it. The Bible says the wholesome tongue is a tree of life. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and has given life to your physical body. He’s brought you into life and immortality. Make these and similar affirmations every so often. You say, “The Holy Spirit is the life of my body; therefore, I live free of sickness, disease, infirmities and the elements of this world.” Blessed be God!
Prayer / Confession
My physical body is alive and inundated with the pulsating life of God. As a result, I walk in divine health and vitality. I live free of sickness, disease, infirmities and the elements of this world. Hallelujah!
