Our words have creative power. Whenever we speak something

either good or bad, we give life to what we are saying. Too many
people say negative things about themselves, about their families,
and about their futures. They say things such as, "I'll never be
successful. This sickness will get the best of me. Business is so slow
I don't think I will make it. Flu season is coming. I'll probably catch
it."
They don't realize they are prophesying their futures. The Scripture
says, "We will eat the fruit of our words." That means we will get
exactly what we've been saying.
Here is the key; you've got to send your words out in the direction
you want your life to go. You cannot talk defeat and expect to have
victory. You can't talk lack and expect to have abundance. You will
produce what you say. If you want to know what you will be like
five years from now, just listen to what you are saying about
yourself. With our words we can either bless our futures or we can
curse our futures. That's why we should never say, "I'm not a good
parent. I'm unattractive. I'm clumsy. I can't do anything right. I'll
probably get laid off."
No, those thoughts may come to your mind, but don't make the
mistake of verbalizing them. The moment you speak them out, you
allow them to take root. There have been plenty of times where I've
thought something negative and I'm just about to say it, but I'll catch
myself and think, No. I'll zip it up. I'm not speaking defeat into my
future. I'm not speaking failure over my life. I will turn it around and
speak favor into my future. I will declare, "I'm blessed. I'm strong.
I'm healthy. This will be a great year. "When you do that, you are
blessing your future.
