You’ve probably heard the Proverb (18:21) “the power of life and death is in the tongue”. I say it’s absolutely true. You can proclaim life or speak death into any situation. You can literally have what you say.
I have a lot to say about the power of the tongue or words but I want to focus on two words today – I AM.
These are two very powerful words. They are action words. Activation words. Words of creation. Whatever word or words you say after I AM, you are. You speak it into existence. So choose wisely. Speak intentionally.
If you’re not feeling 100% – rather than reinforce your sickness, say I am healing. I am strong. My energy is coming back. Speak life, health, joy, wealth, love, into your life with intention.
Observe how often you casually say things like, I’m tired or I’m broke or I’m sick and tired. Pay attention to what you’re adding to your I AM. No judgement, be gentle with yourself, just notice.
When you realize that what you’re saying isn’t helping improve your situation (remember – you can have what you say), choose to change your language and your outcome. If you mis-speak, correct it immediately.
If you slip up and say something you don’t want to see – for instance, you have a cold and automatically say I’m sick. You can easily correct it by adding – but I’m getting better as we speak!
Before you know it, this way of thinking and speaking will become the norm for you. Be kind to yourself, this way might be new to you. Don’t beat yourself up if you slip up occasionally. Now that you know you’re in control of your situation, you will speak the best possible outcome. It’s a mindset and I often say, “change your mind, change your life.”
Joel Osteen wrote a book about it – The Power of I Am, you might want to read it. If you feel you need more high energy or high vibrating words in your vocabulary, check out the book, Every Word Has Power by Yvonne Oswald, she has lists of them for you.
I like visuals – vision boards, affirmations – I like to be reminded of what I’m saying and where I’m going. I have index cards of my I AM affirmations around my bathroom mirror. So first thing in the morning, while I’m brushing my teeth, arranging my hair, putting on earrings, I’m going through them repeatedly in my head.
I made decks for my grandchildren too. I want them to grow up knowing the power of their I AM. Knowledge is one of the best gifts I can give them.
Do whatever you do to help you remember things so you gain/ regain control of your tongue and consequently your destiny. The power is in your I AM.
Next time we’ll talk about the proverbial “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” That’s not necessarily true.
Until then…
I AM grateful for you.
Love,
Robin ❤
