Summary: The words we speak have great power, especially as parents over our children. The tongue has the power of life and death, so we must be careful what we say, even to ourselves. As Christians, we should positively confess and declare God's good will. We should change our vocabulary from negative to positive, bless our children, and give them compliments and encouragement. Blessings are important, and we have spiritual authority with the things we visualize and pronounce with our mouths. The author gives an example of how he blesses his grandson through a statuette and prophetic words. We should declare God's blessing and open a channel of blessing for those under our authority, including our family and ministries.

It is important that we understand the power that a child of God has with the words he speaks with his mouth.

Many times when we criticize our children when we are upset about something they have done and we say: "oh you will never be a good thing" or "you are a liar", or "I will see you one day in jail if you do not change the way you are". These words uttered that come out of our mouth have great power over our children and uttered by a parent who has spiritual authority over a child, those words, those expressions that we cast over our children can be extremely harmful.

The Bible says that the tongue has life and death in its power, and we must be very careful what we say, even to ourselves. Many times when people ask us how are we? We come out with a number of negative expressions: "oh, I'm not well" "everything is going wrong" "people don't love me" "God doesn't remember me", so many things that we say with our mouths that are ways of filling our negative energy life.

That is why we Christians speak of positively confessing, of declaring God's good will, of sometimes even when we feel bad, coming out with a Word of praise and adoration. The importance of words of song and blessing coming out of our mouth, memorizing the Word of God and pronouncing it with our lips when we are in difficult situations, believing that God is going to do a miracle if we declare it with our mouth.

Sometimes we go to look for a job because of not leaving but we say: "Yes, I will go but I know it will not go well for me." All of these things have the power to become negative prophecies that directly affect the outcome of our efforts and that is why we have to change our vocabulary many times.

If we come from a negative past, if we have had many failures in life, let's change the vocabulary, let's learn and train ourselves to declare Words of blessing over our lives, to bless our children, to give them compliments and encourage them when they do something well and declare things to them positive in your life so that that energy, that blessing of a father and a mother, pronounced in different ways throughout life becomes spiritual allies that carry you forward on the path of life.

Blessings are so important, we have to bless our children, we have to fill them with confidence and positivity with the words we speak about them and also about our own lives because we have spiritual authority with the things we visualize and the things we pronounce with our mouth.

I'll tell you something personal: our first grandson is called Caleb, and the reason we called him Caleb, his parents and I also suggested that we call him this name and they agreed, is because Caleb is one of those wonderful characters in Scripture in Scripture that is a man of power, of faith, of authority, is a warrior man, is a man who even in old age reflects vitality, physical strength and mental strength, and spiritual, a man who, already advanced in age, still has energy left. to believe in God, to conquer land and to defeat his enemies, and which indicates that even in old age he has the vitality of when he was a young man.

And so we have wanted through that name, to bless his life and impart a spiritual destiny to him. And in fact I tell you: I have in my library a small statuette of a young man about 14, 15 years old sitting on a pile of books, reading a book very intensely, and the statuette of this statuette reflects a young man full of strength, athletic but also interested in knowledge, that is why he is sitting on a pile of large books and he also has a book in his hand and he is reading it with great concentration, but also as I say his figure reflects virility, masculinity, strength and also emotional healing.

And that statuette, when I saw it in a store, I bought it and I have always had it near my library where I pray, and when I see it I remember my grandson and I declare about him those same virtues that I see reflected on that statuette, So for me that statuette has become like a prophetic energy, a prophetic act with which I bless the life of my grandson, and I believe that like his grandfather, his spiritual ancestor I have a certain degree of spiritual authority over his life and I can declare things, and I can come before the Throne of God with authority and bless it that way.

I believe that our life can be full of gestures like that, right? which can include the prophetic Words that we utter about those who are under our authority, what we utter about our family, our husbands or wives, the ministries that we have, we have to declare God's blessing, God's good Will, with our words bless them and open a channel of blessing for them to enter.

We are going to see that what this mother, very clumsily, wanted to declare about her son, Jabes pronounced other words about himself and that had a very powerful effect that changed the destiny of Jabes, we will see it in our next study. May the Lord bless you and thank you for being with us.
