"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteh nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63) Jesus said there is spirit life in the spoken word. That;s why it is important for us to confess what God has already said about us in His Word. Words carry spiritual forces. Words can transmit faith. They transmit images after their kind to others. God's Word transmits the image God wants you to have. The devil's words transmit the image he wants you to have.
Your words are powerful transmitters. Be careful what you say to yourself and others.
Faith is Transmitted by Words
In Romans 10:17, Paul said, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." That is "A truth," but it is not the whole truth. When Paul made that statement, he was talking about faith in God and in His word Faith in God's word come by hearing what He said. But there is a reciprocal of that truth. Just as Faith in God comes by hearing and receiving the Word of God, faith in the devil comes by hearing the words of the devil. The opposite of faith is fear. Most of the time, fear is actually faith in the devil. Don't take "A truth" and make "THE truth" out of it. For if we dogmatically declare that the only way anyone can obtain faith is by hearing the Word of God, that's not the WHOLE truth. You can have faith in the weather man by hearing him predict the weather.
The truth is that Faith comes by hearing, Whether you are hearing me or hearing the weather forecast, faith comes by hearing. Spoken words transmit a corresponding spirit. Fear-Filled words produce fear in those who hear and receive them. Faith-Filled words produce Faith in those who hear and receive them.
