Jesus said, Take no thought, saying. Why should Jesus be concerned about our taking thought by saying? Because saying will produce either faith or fear.
Speak faith-filled words, and they will produce faith. Speak fear-filled words, and they will produce fear. I can say things to you that will produce a degree of faith in you; or, I can speak words that will create a sense of fear in you.
Statements like, “What are we going to do? How are we going to make this payment?” produce fear. When you fear, you allow Satan to steal the Word from you. Every time you say such things, you are opening the door for the Devil to speak to your carnal mind. You are to take no thought by saying anything that would open the door to the Devil.
The Devil clouding your mind with such thoughts is a major area you must deal with if you expect to walk in God’s prosperity. Jesus told us to take no thought by saying because the human spirit is designed to produce in like kind from the seed you plant in your heart. If you plant thoughts based on worry, your spirit will produce-and, in fact, lead you to-the very thing you fear.
Remember this: Satan is very limited in what he can do unless you fear! Fear releases his ability against you. He can no more prevail against you if you are without fear than God can move in your behalf without faith! Faith brings God on the scene, but fear is an invitation to Satan.
Learn to control your vocabulary and harness your tongue because by your words you release the ability of Satan against your finances, your home, and your physical body.
