Foundational Truths
Faith is the substance of things hoped for (Matthew 8:16) — Every encounter with faith is an encounter with God. What you expect is what God confirms.
Without a place in eternity, all that is left is vanity.
After salvation, our spiritual authority is domiciled in our tongue (Luke 21:15, Revelation 5:10, Ecclesiastes 8:4, Matthew 8:8-13, John 4:49-53).
The Authority of the Believer
The believer's tongue is a spiritual weapon.
We are not to say what we do not want to see (Proverbs 18:21).
Examples of authority exercised through words:
Luke 8:49-51 – Jesus spoke life.
John 11:43-44 – Lazarus raised by words.
Luke 4:33-36, Mark 2:11, Acts 4:9-10 – Authority in healing and deliverance.
What you say today is shaping your tomorrow (Mark 11:23, Genesis 8:22).
Kingdom Authority and Submission
Only those under authority can command authority (Acts 10:13, 1 Corinthians 6:21).
You must remain under the authority of Christ to operate in His authority (Matthew 26:39-44, John 10:16-17, Philippians 2:9).
Authority is earned through obedience (John 5:30, John 8:29).
When you can no longer be instructed, you lose command.
Your submission determines your authority.
Spiritual Understanding and Resurrection
The resurrection validates our faith (1 Corinthians 15:14-17).
It is through the resurrection that our spiritual eyes are opened to Scriptures (Luke 24:45).
Without the resurrection, our authority lacks foundation (Romans 8:35, Acts 5:15).
The Power of Words
1. Words carry divine authority (Ecclesiastes 5:6, Luke 21:15).
2. Words are creative – They build or destroy (Mark 11:23, Matthew 12:34).
3. Words are seeds – What you say, you plant (Genesis 8:22, Romans 10:12).
> Load yourself with the right words – Colossians 3:16, Luke 6:45, Matthew 12:34
Dangers of Misusing the Tongue
The tongue can destroy the works of your hands (James 3:5-8).
