When God created man in his image, satan was furious.. and even more so when God gave man the ability to control his own destiny.. satan and all of his demons came together to devise a plan to keep man from the knowledge of that ability, that power. One demon suggested that they bury it 500 feet deep at the top of the tallest mountain. Another suggested they bury it 1000 feet deep at the deepest part of the ocean. Satan, being the greatest deceiver of all time, spoke up. He said “ No, man is both intelligent and industrious. He will look long enough and hard enough to eventually find it in those places. But he is also easily fooled. I have a better idea. We will bury it deep inside of him and convince him that he is not worthy of the blessings that this God given power produces. Then he’ll never even think to look there.”

Our God showed us by example where his power lies at the very beginning of the Word. He “spoke” it into existence. He said the tongue is the rudder to the ship, holding the power of “Life” and “death.” The power is not ours, it’s His but is released by us. All power, is released through our words. “Even the enemies”!! We are to control our tongues to be in agreement with what God says. The name it and claim it crowd believe it is our power.. no!! It is our “responsibility!! And that responsibility is to speak only in agreement with what God says.. but to be proactive in speaking what God says and never give power to the enemies lies !!
