Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
With a new look
“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned,” (Matthew 12:37 New King James Version).
You would think that when the devil says something and you ignore it, it will come to naught. But that’s not the way evil works, unfortunately. The devil loves to push bad dreams on you, dreams with something bad in them (a bad event), because many people tend to think that dreams have nothing to do with actual factual life. But they do and if they are not countered by your words they could very possibly happen exactly the way the dream stated, maybe even leaving out the good part.
​
Now, sometimes God will use dreams also because some people do see dreams as God’s way of communicating; such as Pharaoh in Joseph’s time in Geneses.
“Two years passed and Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile River. Seven cows came up out of the Nile, all shimmering with health, and grazed on the marsh grass. Then seven other cows, all skin and bones, came up out of the river after them and stood by them on the bank of the Nile. The skinny cows ate the seven healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,” (Geneses 41:1-4 The Message).
This was God warning the dude of a famine that was coming. It’s a good thing that Pharaoh didn’t know what I am teaching you now or he might have ruined it. Or, if he did know he, maybe, could have put a stop to the famine that was to come; but them Joseph may not have become governor.
​
Now, what God and I talked about last night was that you will be freed or condemned by words. But not just anyone’s words, by your own words. In other words, if someone, whether your pastor or a prophet or a friend, says something positive to you and you agree with it with words it may very possibly come true so that you will see and feel it.
​
But, on the other hand, if an obstinate person (a non-believer) or the devil itself says something negative to you about somethings going to happen, and you don’t counter it with your own words, you stand a 100% chance of having that happen to you in your lifetime. No, it may not be right away but someday; I guarantee you, you won’t be ready and you won’t like it.
​
Of course, your own words are the words that you have received from the good or bad that you agree with. You take those words and speak them, thereby making them your own words. People would say, “The devil said … bla bla bla.” The thing wrong with that is that when they told me what the devil said they just took those words and made them their own words. Now, God said, “I will not die until all that God has called me to is fulfilled.” Did I make them my own words? You better believe I did.
​
So, which would you rather take place in your life, the good that God and His people said and say or what the devil and its people say? If your answer is God and His people then agree with and say, make their words your own words, what they say. If it’s the devil then don’t say anything and be obstinate.
​
“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned,” (Matthew 12:36-37 New King James Version). If you speak it, it can’t be idle.
