Move Mountains!!!

I have chosen the Proverb that speaks to me out of todays reading.  Please journal that which the Lord is revealing to you!
Today’s theme seems to be to use words wisely!

15 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word stirs up anger.

² The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,
    but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

³ The eyes of the Lord are everywhere,
    keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

⁴ The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
    but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.

⁵ A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,
    but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.

⁶ The house of the righteous contains great treasure,
    but the income of the wicked brings ruin.

⁷ The lips of the wise spread knowledge,
    but the hearts of fools are not upright.

Solomon, Solomon—the wisest man that has ever lived, thank you for the constant reminder of the power in our tongues.  In verse 4 we see that a soothing tongue is a tree of life. In looking at this closer we see that a wholesome word is healing.  The word is “marpe” and its primitive root indicates a healing, refreshing deliverance.  Imagine that – our words have the power to heal and refresh a weary soul.

I am going to take this one step farther, out of the figurative “healing” of kind, encouraging words….to the authority that is housed within us when we abide in the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised us in scripture, John 14:12, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”  We are promised this authority through the name of Jesus Christ – healing and deliverance.  Today I will combine the importance of our uttered words to the promises of Jesus Christ and I will know that , "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. (Mark 11:23) and “He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

(Matthew 17:20).

You may have mountains in your life that need healing and deliverance.  Through the spoken word we are promised that healing and deliverance are ours.  Will you speak to your mountains today and move them out of your way, in the name of Jesus Christ?  Will you speak to those mountains and declare healing?   The tongue possesses a tree of LIFE, would you speak LIFE into your dead places today?

 Scriptures on the power and authority of Jesus Christ:

Luke 10:19 - Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Matthew 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
