WE WERE CREATED TO BLESS
Lesson 6 - Post Encounter
The Power of the
Tongue
Always Blesses
POWER IN THE WORDS WE
SPEAK
“If anyone speaks, let him
speak the oracles of God”
- 1 Peter 4:11
Revelation 16:13-14“And I saw three
unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the
mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the
beast, out of the mouth of the false prophet.
For they are spirits of demons, performing
signs, which go out to the kings of the earth
and of the whole world, to gather them to the
battle of the great day of God Almighty.”
YOUR WORDS…
- Put to work the angelic armies-
Are empowered when you speak the
Word of God
Negative Words…
- Empower demonic spirits
Psalm 34:12-13
“Do any of you want to live a
life that is long and good? Then
watch your tongue! Keep your
lips from telling lies!”
YOU ARE THE
GREATEST
PROPHET OF
YOUR LIFE
Proverbs 18:21
“The tongue can bring death or
life; those who love to talk will
reap the consequences.”
The words we speak have
the power to determine
who we will become and
what we will do.
Confess what
you need to
be, not what
you think you
are…
When going through battles
in our own life we can
conquer by speaking God’s
Word
2. Exalt God
“Let the high praises of God be in their
mouth, and the two-edged sword in their
hand, to execute vengeance on the nations,
and punishments on the people; to bind their
kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters
of iron; to execute on them the written
judgment – this honor have all his saints.
Praise the Lord!” Psalm 149:6-9
“When we exalt God with our mouths, the
Word of God becomes sharper and more
powerful in our hands. We have the authority
of calling upon the presence of God to take
control of the nations, knowing that the people
who have opposed the gospel will be broken
by the power of the spirit.”
God speaks and things
change!!!
3. The three-fold
Blessing of God
Genesis 1:28 “Then God blessed
them, and God said to them, ‘Be
fruitful and multiply; fill the earth
and subdue it; have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and the birds of
the air, and over every living thing
that moves in the earth.”
a. BE FRUITFULFruitful – Life of
Holiness
Romans 6:22“Now having
been set free from sin,
and having become slaves
of God, you have your
fruit to holiness, and
the end, everlasting
life.”
b. MULTIPLYGod wants us to multiply in
our:
1. Spiritual life
2. Physical life
3. Social life
4. Financial
Life
c. HAVE DOMINION
God wants His children
to climb to positions of
privilege
4. God Wants To
Bless Us to be a
Blessing
said to Abram, ‘Get out of your
country, from your father’s
house, to a land that I will show
you. I will make you a great
nation; I will bless you and make
your name great; and you shall be
a blessing. I will bless those
who bless you, and I will curse
those who curse you; and in you
all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.”
to what He sees, but
according to what He
wants to see.
Blessing – (Beraka –
Hebrew)
Giving of the power of the
goodness and favor of God.The blessing is TRANSMITTED
verbally.
Normally, the BLESSING
was transmitted through
the spoken word, and for
the Hebrews, in the
spoken word was the
power to attract good or
to activate evil.
Each blessing spoken to someone
spells out a desire for the favor
of God to be upon that person.
Encouragement motivates people to
success. Complaining does the
opposite…
James 3: 6, 9,
10
6 The tongue also is a fire, a
world of evil among the parts of
the body. It corrupts the whole
person, sets the whole course of
his life on fire, and is itself
set on fire by hell.
9 With the tongue we praise our
Lord and Father, and with it we
curse men, who have been made in
God’s likeness.
James 3: 6, 9,
10
10 Out of the same mouth come
praise and cursing. My
brothers, this should not be.
James 3: 6, 9,
10
Complainers speak about the way
things are. People of faith
speak about the way things will
be!!!
Don’t let a drowning man
give you swimming lessons.
Know what God says about you and
speak blessing not only over
others, but over yourself also.
5. The Power of
God-given Blessing
Jeremiah 29:11“For I
know the plans I have
for you, says the Lord.
They are plans for good
and not for disaster, to
give you a future and a
hope.”
God cannot
change what has
come out of His
lips. His word
remains firm in
the heavens for
He fulfills
everything He
has promised to
his children.
Deuteronomy 28:1-3 “Now it shall come
pass, if you diligently obey the
voice of the Lord your God, to do all
His commandments which I command you
today, that the Lord your God will
set you high above all nations of the
earth. And all these blessings shall
come upon you and overtake you,
because you obey the voice of the
Lord your God. Blessed shall you be
in the city, and blessed shall you be
in the country.”
The blessings are
conditional to our
obedience to the Word.
Romans 10:8
“The word is near you, in
your mouth and in your
heart; that is, the word of
faith we preach.”
Since the beginning of
time, God has purposed in
His heart to bless His
children.
So, how do we
bless?
6. Prayers that
bless…
a. Ask God to bless you.
b. Ask God to bless your marriage
& your family
c. Ask God to bless your spouse
d. Ask God to bless your children
e. Ask God to bless your
disciples
BLESSING YOUR
DISCIPLESNumbers 6:23-26
“Speak to Aaron and his sons,
saying, this is the way you shall
bless the children of Israel, say
to them: The Lord bless you and
keep you; the Lord make his face
to shine upon you, and be gracious
to you; the Lord lift up His
countenance upon you, and give you
peace.”
John 17:15-17
“I do not pray that you should
take them out of the world, but
that you should keep them from
the evil one. They are not of
the world, just as I am not of
the world. Sanctify them by your
truth. Your word is truth.”
authority.
It’s in our hands to accept the
challenge of being the channel of
blessing, spiritually, emotionally,
physically and financially.
WE WERE CREATED
TO BLESS!!!
What are the words
that you failed to
utter before but now,
you want to declare?
