The Golden Key - we have a choice



We have so many choices in this world…… and each choice, small or big, will affect our lives.

One of the choices we make every minute of every day are the words we choose to speak.  Each word we speak is a key to unlock cursings or blessings in our lives? Matthew 16:19 says: And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

A choice we have is to bind evil or loose it…..we can continue saying “I am so sick”, or “I am so broke”, or “things will never change”, or “this place is such an awful place”, etc.  When those are the words we choose to speak, we are binding good and loosing evil in our lives. 

If we choose to, instead, say “This sickness cannot stay because by the blood of His stripes I am healed”, or “I am in a tight spot right now, but God will reveal to me how I’m to save/spend and how to be a good steward of His money”, “things have been pretty rough, but I will not give up on my God – He has a plan and a purpose….a plan to prosper, to make healthy, plans to give you a future and a hope”, or “this place has been under oppression for a long time, but that doesn’t negate your victory, oh Lord.  You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  You will change this place and make it a place of refuge for the weary if we will but call upon Your name.”

See the difference?  We aren’t to deny the problem.  There are problems!  We are to speak the victory through Christ.  Speaking the problem with no victor just looses the enemy and binds our God from working.  We are to speak as David did in the Psalms – Ps 35:28 "And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of your praise all the day long”.  Or like Proverbs 15:4  "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit”, and especially Prov. 18:21  "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit”.

We have the ability to speak life or death.  We have the Golden Key.  What will you choose?
