A Conversation
(Jas. 3:2~12)
All people learn to speak when they are young and have conversations with their parents, friends and neighbors. Spoken words are not only used for having conversations. We can change our circumstances with our spoken words. Spoken words have creative power that determines our life.
1. A conversation with oneself
1) There are various types of conversations. One of them is a conversation with oneself. When we speak, we hear ourselves first. Because those spoken words influence our faith and circumstances in our life, we must have positive and creative conversations with ourselves.
2) Spoken words are like seeds that are sowed in the fields called hearts. Other people can speak good words to us. What is more important is to speak good words to ourselves.
2. A conversation with God
1) We can have conversations with God with spoken words. Those who do not believe in God have no god to speak with. However, we who believe in Jesus can converse with God who is alive.
2) Prayer is to have a conversation with God. We can go closer to God with prayers and have problems of our life solved by the grace of God. Therefore, we must make efforts to always pray.
3. A conversation with a neighbor
1) Because people are influenced by conversations, having conversations with our neighbors is important. If we sow gentle words, life will overflow in our hearts. If we sow rebellious words, our hearts will break.
2) Even though spoken words leave our mouths, they don’t disappear. Responsibility and consequences follow spoken words. We must always sow good seeds in the fields of our neighbors’ hearts with the words of courage and encouragement.
4. The fourth dimensional spirituality
1) Spoken word is a special ability that only human beings who were created in God’s image and likeness have.
2) There is amazing power in the confessions of faith. When we have thoughts that do not shake like a rock, look to our dreams, have strong faith and make mouth confessions, miracles will come.
Conclusion
Completely fill your heart with the word of God. Look at how things come to pass according to the word endlessly. And have strong faith and make declarations with your spoken words. Then, those words will be sowed as seeds in your life. In turn, they will bear fruit, and changes and creation will take place in your circumstances of life.
