John 6:68
“Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.”
Just one word from Jesus is all you need to move from death to life.
To the leper who said “Lord if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean” it was “I will be thou clean” (Matt 8:1-4). To the centurion who’s servant was sick it was “Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee” (Matt 8:5-13). To the raging sea it was “Peace be still” (Mark 4:35-41). To the man bound by legion of demons it was “Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit” (Mark 5:1-8). Just one word from Jesus changed their lives forever and just one word from Jesus can change your life forever.
Jesus told satan “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matt 4:4). Jesus Christ is the spoken word of God and we live by Him. John 1:1 ” In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Therefore when we speak the word of God we’re speaking life because Jesus is the Word.
When satan comes to speak words of death to you, give him the Word of God. If he tells you you’re sick tell him 1 Peter 2:24 says “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.” If he tells you that you’re going to die, tell him Psalms 118:17 says, “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord. Whenever satan comes to you with words of death speak the Word of God. Not your own words but the Word of God when you do you speak life.
We move from death to life by the words that we speak. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Provb. 18:21
