Day 10 – Words Attack: Self Destruction

“Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.” Proverbs 29:11

I have been the author of some destruction in my life. The negative words I’ve vented in the past has affected my future, and I let it affect my faith, because things did not work out how I thought it would. Silently I blamed God for all the wrong things I spoke over myself. We say all the wrong things about ourselves, especially in situations where we should declare the promises of God. We choose to rather “vent our anger” and voice our opinions.

It’s a valuable lesson to learn to train your lips to say what God says about you. To declare in the Spirit His promises about you. To become wise and hold back the negative.

But aren’t we a generation who wants to see before we believe? Seeing is believing right? I believe that seeing is what I already belief, manifested by the Glory of God. With every word of declaration or decree, I am building my faith brick-by-brick until it is steadfast and unmovable in God.

Prayer: Father, of all the people who have ever spoken against me, my own words have condemned me the most. Lord Jesus, I come before You and ask Your forgiveness over the words I’ve spoken that caused self-destruction in my life and I ask that You heal it, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
