"I stand in awe many times over as I witness the prophetic healing power of the Spirit change and rearrange the lives of God's people forever. A simple command of faith, 'In Jesus' name, I command this cancerous tumor to shrivel up and die,' and by morning, the large tumor is gone, and a woman's life is dramatically altered." —The Prophetic and Healing Power of Your Words

I believe the Word of God when it says, "as [Jesus] is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17b). Jesus was a man filled with faith when He walked this earth in human form. And everything He did while here, He did as we would do. He did not cheat. He did not call upon His God-powers in heaven. He left them there and came to show us how to live by faith according to the Father's ways.

Take time to ponder upon this thought for a moment, "As Jesus is, so are we in this world." What an amazing word from God! We are to emulate Him, act like Him, love like Him and even speak like Him. And just how does He speak? With authority. He was not passive with His words. He always spoke with a purpose. His words cut to the heart of the matter. He rebuked the religious, was compassionate with the hurting, put Satan and his demons in their place every time and since His childhood on this earth, spoke in the realm of the prophetic.

He has a way with His words that dramatically alters the lives of those He comes into contact with, and so should we. We are to be like Him, and use this gift, the power of the spoken word, and prophesy healing to all those in need in our arena of influence. Romans 4:17b teaches us to "call those things that do not exist as though they did." This is prophesying. And it is not as mysterious as one might think. We do it all the time; every time we open our mouths, we prophesy either life or death (see Prov. 18:21).

With all of this in mind, perhaps we should learn to use this supernatural power, the gift of spoken language, in such a way that we create a change, alter the destiny of the lives of those around us for the glory of God. We must learn how to surrender our words to Him and allow Holy Spirit to play a vibrant melody on the strings of our vocal chords.

I can teach you how to use your words to dramatically alter the lives of those around you for the glory of the Lord, especially in these last days, in my new book, The Prophetic and Healing Power of Your Words.
