Words Have Power
By Rev. John W. Adams
You have within you the power to make your life what you desire it to be. Your spoken word is not only powerful to make changes in your life; it is the power through which definite changes come about. Regardless of outside influences, you shape your life through your thoughts and words. You do this whether you or not you are aware of it.
When you know the power of words, especially your spoken words, you will put a guard at your lips and be very wise in what words pass through the, just as you will do the same with your ears in that you will allow only that which is uplifting, positive and life-enriching to enter and find lodging in your thinking process.
Words Mold and Shape Your Life
Words can make your life miserable or marvelous, it is up to you. Just as what you think makes you what you are, words mold and shape your life because words are the expressions of thought, ideas held in mind. Negative words result in negative, unhappy experiences – positive words result in positive, happy and prospering experiences.
What You Declare Makes a Difference
In speaking words, you are literally moving substance, making a definite difference some where in some way. Most of all, you are making a definite, although seemingly imperceptible, difference within yourself and upon the conditions of your life. That is why there is specific benefit to you when you consciously and deliberately make prospering declarations by using the affirmations in my book, “Power Words for Prosperous Living!“
To affirm something is to decree. You are decreeing something is so. Doing this with understanding faith is sure to result in satisfying experiences.
Right Words Prosper You!
A lady, who was divorced and unemployed, and with two small children, sought the help of a spiritual counselor. It was evident, she had spent much of her life thinking and speaking in a negative, self-demeaning way. Her unhappiness compounded as she went from one negative experience to another. Nothing seemed to go right for her. How could it?
The counselor helped her to listen to herself; to really hear the words she spoke, and to understand how, through her thoughts and words, she had the power to transform her life.
A little disbelieving, at first, she was wise enough to now that she must do something so that she and her children’s lives would be happier and she would have money to pay bills and for food, rent and clothes. She was ready to do whatever was needed to affect a change for the better.
She was instructed to watch her thoughts and words, and to use prosperity affirmations. She began immediately, declaring, “Through the power of my thought and words, positive changes are happening in me and in my life now.“
She also declared over and over, “I am wise, loving, and happy, and God in me is prospering me abundantly now!“
The next day she called to say she had received some money quite unexpectedly, and a few days later, she reported she had found a job that, although not providing for luxuries, would give her enough money for herself and her children to live comfortably on.
Continuing to make prosperity declarations, this lady later reported that the company liked her so much they had given her a new position with a substantial raise in pay.
In addition to speaking affirmations, she began to tithe – giving back to God – at least ten percent of her whole income, in gratitude for all that God was giving to her. Now, she is prospering in an even larger way – enjoying the prosperous life with her children. She said it was amazing how the children’s school work improved and the family environment was happier as her children joined with her in speaking prosperity affirmations.
Teaching children the affirmative way of life is very advisable and will stay with them throughout their lives.
Prosperous thinking precedes prosperous living. To affect a change in your life, change your thinking, first. Regardless of circumstances in which you may be, you can and should change them into happy, healthy, and prosperous ones. Deliberately speaking Power Words for Prosperous Living, with feeling and belief, will move you into your new life of unlimited riches. They’ll help you claim the rich good you rightfully deserve.
