Every Word You Say About Yourself Is Writing Your Future

You are always prophesying. Every time you say "life is hard" or "I can't do this" or "nothing ever works for me" — you are releasing a prophetic word over your own life. The problem is not that you are not prophesying. The problem is what you are prophesying. This message shows you how to change it.

Pastor Ricardo Zaal · Fountain of Grace International, Pretoria North · 6 April 2025

The Rudder You Are Already Using

The Bible compares the tongue to a rudder on a ship. A rudder is not the engine — it does not provide the power. But it determines the direction. Without a functioning rudder, a ship with a full engine will end up on rocks. A ship is not destroyed by lack of power. It is destroyed by going the wrong direction.

Your words work the same way. They are steering your life. Every time you open your mouth and say "I'm broke," "I'm useless," "nothing ever changes for me" — the rudder turns. That is a prophetic word. It is a negative prophetic word, but it is prophetic. It is setting a direction. The question is whether the direction it is setting is aligned with what God says about you.

1 Corinthians 14:3 - What Prophecy Is Actually For

1 Corinthians 14:3 - "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort."

Prophecy has a specific function: to build up, to encourage, and to bring comfort. If a word does not do any of these three things, it is not a godly prophetic word — regardless of how confidently it is delivered. When you prophesy over yourself, the question to ask is: does this word build me up? Does it encourage me? Does it bring comfort? Or does it reinforce fear, limitation, and defeat?

Prophecy is not primarily about predicting the future. It is about declaring God's Word into the present. Not "one day I will be" but "right now I am" — because God's Word is present tense. Romans 10:17 — "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." When you hear yourself say what God says, faith grows. That is the mechanism.

Ezekiel 37:4 - Prophesy to Your Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37:4 - "Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD."

God did not tell Ezekiel to pray about the dry bones, or to feel sad about them, or to analyse why they were dry. He told him to prophesy to them. To speak the word of God directly at the situation. And the bones came together. Flesh came on them. Breath entered them.

Your dry bones are different from someone else's. Maybe it is a marriage that looks lifeless. A career that looks finished. A relationship that looks beyond repair. A body that feels broken. The instruction from Ezekiel 37 is not to accept the dry bones as the final word — it is to prophesy to them. Speak the Word of God at the thing that looks dead. That is your assignment.

Jeremiah 29:11 - God's Thoughts Are Already Set

Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

God's thoughts toward you are already decided. They are thoughts of peace — not evil. The expected end is already set. The prophetic word you need to speak over your life is not something you are creating — it is something you are agreeing with. You are aligning your mouth with what God has already declared. When you do that, the rudder turns toward the outcome God intended. And faith — which comes by hearing — begins to carry you there.

"Stop prophesying the problem. Start prophesying the promise. You are always speaking a future into existence — make sure it is the future God intended for you."

— Pastor Ricardo Zaal

How to Prophesy Into Your Life Starting Today

  1. Find the scripture that speaks to your situation. Not a general feel-good phrase — a specific verse that addresses what you are facing. That is your prophetic word.
  2. Speak it in the present tense, out loud. Not "God will heal me" but "by His stripes I am healed." Not "God might provide" but "my God supplies all my need." Faith comes by hearing — so make sure you hear it.
  3. Replace every negative confession with its scriptural opposite. Every time you catch yourself speaking defeat, replace it immediately with what God says. The rudder does not change direction once — it is constantly being adjusted. Keep adjusting it toward God's Word.

I'm taking up in a different realm because normally what I do is I just give you a word and I say to you, speak. This is what the Lord says that must happen. But today I'm bringing to you something entirely different from the normal preaching that I normally do because I believe it's a time that we should speak into our own lives. I believe it's time that we should not just speak into our own lives, but we should, we should, do you say, we should actually prophesy into our lives. Because whether you like it or not, you are always prophesying. You are always prophesying and sometimes you need to prophesy. You need to prophesy, how do you call it, the right things. Because when we prophesy, ooh, it's life is tough. Ooh, life is hard. And the prophetic word that you keep on giving to you makes life hard and life tough. And that is why this morning I am bringing to you a message that I have entitled, Speak Prophetic into Your Life. I've entitled it, Speak Prophetic into Your Life. And the nicest part of it is that even Anne-Marie-Anne didn't even know what the message was, but one of the words that Anne-Marie-Anne just said, don't put yourself short. Yes, don't limit yourself. Don't limit yourself. Because what I was saying, I am not the keyboardist. And I should actually prophesy that I'm a worshipper of God that plays keyboard. Amen. That's actually what I should be saying. Yes. Because when I say it, I am not a keyboardist. I am not. Yes. That prophetic word. Yes. That I should say. Yes. Prophesy over yourself. Yes. And that's the one that we actually should do into our lives. The Bible says that when you're looking at your tongue, it's like a rada. Now, a rada is the thing that steers a boat into directions. A rada steers a boat into direction. Now, without a rada, the boat cannot be moving into a direction that makes sense. Now, without a rada, the boat cannot be moving into a direction that makes sense. The boat will end up on rocks whilst it's supposed to go at sea. And the only time it needs to come closer to rocks is when they dock. That's top. That's top. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, why I'm mentioning this this morning is that when the two weeks came, we had a, I think, I think, I think it's not even two weeks, I think it's two months now that we've been having this attacks, like many attacks. It's so, so many of them. And when you have that attacks, you keep on saying something that Satan will then use to your disadvantage and run with it as if you were the one that gave him the key to run with it. Because this is what happened. I was saying to, I was saying to Lytton when he was asking me, I need to do some printing for my school project. I said, I didn't have, I don't have money. And he said, Teddy, but I didn't ask you for money. I asked you for prints. And I'm like, huh? At that time, it didn't strike me at first, but the way he said it. And made me to, to realize our focus is on the money. On the money. And, and, and lo and behold, I might not always say it, but I know him to be a prophet. Because whatever he said, I still remember there was a, a year when we were still, still staying in the blue flats down there. And, Lytton was saying, probably like a year, two years, and he was still young. He gave me this vision that he had. And, and when he gave me the vision, he said to me, I saw Uncle Edgar was helped by gunpoint. And, and, in my mind, a second. Yeah. I don't know. But then, what happened is that, probably a year or two after that, Pastor Edgar was actually going up to, to, to Hillary and the bucky was parked at the bottom. And, and, as the bucky was parked at the bottom. Uh, uh, uh, uh, no, no, I, I forgot this one. Then, Lytton said, he was at gunpoint. But then, when he was put at gunpoint, I came, and the guys ran away. Then, it so happened, that he was parked, and they tried to steal the bucky. The time, when I came down. Ah, ah, ah. Bishop, you're not, you're not humble, eh? Ah, ah. Look at this, Bishop. Yo, yo, yo. Come. Come here. Huh? What is it? Come here. Leave him, leave him. It looks too beautiful today. It looks like the pastor of the house, eh? Come. Huh? I want, I want. Huh? Look at this one. Hmm? The pastor of the house. Hey, hey, hey. Looking good, eh? Choo, choo, choo. Hey, hey. Like, uh, the, the, the, the, the bishop of the bishops. So, it happened that Pastor Edgar was parked at the bottom of the place, he ran up to, to Hillary. Come back, he found the guys who were busy trying to steal the bucky. And as they were trying to steal the bucky, as they were trying to steal the bucky, they had him at gunpoint. Don't forget that one, eh? Just to check if it works there at all. So, when they held him at gunpoint, is the time I drove with the, uh, I had a Dodge Journey, maroon Dodge Journey, red Dodge Journey. And I came on my way, I saw the bucky, and I put on my, my lights, like, how do you call it, bright lights. And when they saw the brights coming for them, they jump into their car and they ran. Wow. And Lytton was actually saying this, probably a year or two before that time. The way he said it. And I was like, yo, look at this guy. So, he could see it at that time. And when I thought, ah, it's just kids talk. I still said a prayer. God won't let it happen. That's why I said a prayer. But yet it happened, just to prove a point, that God is still in control, showing you signs, before you know it, through a small, because he was small that time. That's why, when he said, I don't ask you for money. I was like, sure. Hey, this guy, he hit me. And that is why I'm saying to you, speak prophetic into your life. Oh, and I'm saying it prophetic, ne? But I'm also talking about the change of words in your words. Because I am useless is also prophetic. I can't play keyboard. It's also prophetic. But it's a negative prophetic word. Yes. That should have been changed to a positive prophetic word. That's in line with God's word. Let me go to, to 1 Corinthians, 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3, ne? 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 3 says the following. So some of the prophetic words is devilish. Because if you can hear what it should be, it should edify, it should, it should exhort, and it should comfort. So when I say, my message being entitled, speak prophetic into your life, I should have actually said it. I should have actually said it, prophetically according to the Bible. Because if I say, speak prophetic, it doesn't mean it's the right prophetic words that you use. So what is prophecy? Prophecy is to speak unto men, unto men, to edification. What is prophecy? It's to speak unto men and exhortation. What is prophecy? It's to comfort you. So, when something is prophesied to you, it should not be a word that is your opinion. It should come from scripture. But some of you might ask, but what is it necessary? Is it really that necessary? He says, yes, it matters. You know why prophecy matters? Prophecy matters because, number one, it builds faith. Yes. What is thy scripture? Romans 10, eh? Let me, let me, let me get a scripture icon. I think Romans 10. Is it Romans 10, 17, I think. Is it? Yeah. Romans 10 says, so then, faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Can you see? So, when you prophesy, you should know that prophetic word is coming from God's word. And by hearing God's word, it lifts. That is why prophecy matters. So, you need to keep on prophesying to yourself. And by prophesying to yourself, I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath. It gives you that little of faith. It boosts your faith. Imagine, faith cometh by hearing. But imagine, it also shifts atmospheres. If you go to Ezekiel 37. Ezekiel 37 says, prophesy to these bones. So, it means that when there's dry things in your life, prophesy to those dry bones. Prophesy to that dry bones. You know, dry bones sometimes in our lives might not be the dry bones that we're going through. But it's the situations that our lives have been given to us. Dry bones to me might not be the same dry bones to you. My dry bones is small. And I see it big. Yours is big, but you see it small. Dry bones. What is the dry bones that is in your life? Prophesy to those dry bones. Now, one of the things that I love about prophecy as well is that it matters because it confirms God's promise in your life. Amen. Levin, do you know what is God's promise for your life? God's promise for your life in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 says that, The thoughts, I think, towards you is thoughts of good. It's not to harm you. It's to prosper you. Now, what is prosperity? In the harm, there's something that will happen that will prosper you. A muscle that turns, when it gets healed, it's a bigger muscle. A ligament, muscle. You know how it happens that bodybuilders become bodybuilders. It's the, they lift up the, the weight, the muscle is almost like stretching, and it, it's almost toning. And as it becomes, as it heals, it becomes bigger. Turn it again, it's bigger. Just go, go and study the science of, of how they become bigger. You will hear, it's mostly, harming, or harmful. But the plan of God, even though it's harming, it's not to harm you. Amen. The prophetic is not about predicting the future, most of the time. Because people go for, hey, man of God, what is God saying? Where does the future keep me? No. Sometimes it is. But it's not. Yo. It's actually, it's more about declaring God's word into the now. If I say to you, there will be, if I say to you, there will be a, a free, Yeah. Let me, no, let me, let me go back to the credit of this. I don't know who I'm crediting this to, but I saw it. Somebody said, there was a sign in a bar that says, free beer tomorrow. And the sign is written boldly so that everybody can see it. And when you come today, it's tomorrow. When you come tomorrow, it says tomorrow again. So the tomorrow never comes. So declaring God's word into the now, not declaring it, I will be, I am. Do you know who I am? I know who I am. We are the chosen generation. Call for to show his excellence. All I require for life God has given me. And I know who I am. That is who you are. So please, I'm asking you, take a specific scripture that resonates with you. What is resonating with you? What is resonating with you? If something is resonating with you today, a specific scripture, maybe it's a, it's a Psalm 23 that resonates today. The Lord is my shepherd. Keep on prophesying that to you and say the Lord is my shepherd. If it is a Psalm 121 for argument's sake, the Lord preserve me from evil. That it is, then he preserve me from evil. My going out and my coming in are covered today and forever. That's prophetic. So activate the prophetic by speaking God's word over a situation that you're going through at the moment. Ma, the Bible says that, the Bible says that, in the, what's it, in the brow of the, the sweat of the eyebrows, you will make your money or you will make your bread. Oh, who's it, yeah, you will, you will eat your bread in the sweat of your eyebrows, ne? That scripture, I, I can't remember specifically, but you know what scripture I'm talking about? I think, uh, take, uh, take, uh, take, uh, take the front seat for, for, for, for me. Thank you. Yeah, now you look like the, so, when that scripture says, Let me, let me, let me, let me google it. Forgive me, but, if, for some weird reason, I can't get the scripture. Uh, I need to get the right scripture now. Genesis 3, 19. Maybe, if I can give it the right way. Genesis 3, verse 19. Genesis 3, verse 19. In the sweat of thy face, shall thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of it was thou taken, and thus thou art, and unto thus thou should return. So, it says, in the sweat of thy face, shall thou eat bread. What does that mean? Is that, when you work, you will eat. But, if you work, you must eat. So, why I'm saying, I'm giving you description, eh? Is that, you have been working. You must eat. You, you, you see the prophetic in it. No one can ever work this hard in life, without eating of their labor. What is it, that you've been working hard on, that there's no labor? Start speaking the word of God, and say, in the sweat of thy face, shall thou eat bread. Prophetic word. Today, you are a pastor, now you... In the sweat. That's prophetic. So, you need to activate the word daily. That is why, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Joshua 1 verse 9 says daily. Look at Joshua 1 verse 9. Wait. Let me, let me read it for you. Joshua 1 verse 9. Is it verse 9 Yeah It says If not I commanded thee Be strong and of good courage Be afraid Either be thou dismayed For the Lord thy God is with thee Wheresoever thou goest Be of good courage So these are the words that you should be Constantly Saying to yourself Yes Yes Sometimes I hate it when When I got Afrikaans is best to say it Yeah Only through God's word Not Not by anybody preaching it So You need to know What is prophecy You need to know Why prophecy matters So prophecy Is to speak the mind of God Is to speak the mind of God And why it matters It's because it built faith And it It shifts atmospheres And at the same time It confirms God's word Amen That's what prophetic is Sometimes We want to hear God Audibly Through the prophetic Speaking Of somebody Who had the word of knowledge Comrade Do you know word of knowledge Kill so many Christians Only word of knowledge Because Word of knowledge Is something That God has Put into somebody's life To say your ID number Is 7806 And people think If he can Knows that Not knowing I taught it I'm going to say it Do you know Why Some men of God Put stickers on your car They use that To To To monitor Where you're driving You

Taste Yes Why do you Have to use Salt Monitoring Spirits Because What they Do is The same Salt That you Use Is the Same Thing Where the Spirit Come from They use To get Demonic Spirits Into your House Because Salt Is used By Let me Leave That thing I don't Want to Lie to You But there Are certain Things that We just Must not Just take It for The fact That A man Of God Gave it To you Reason it Reason Say But man Of God Tell me Why do You say Salt No because We are the Salt of The earth And salt Has a Preservation What But ask Where is the Original Use from Salt Coming from The Original Use

This In Somebody Who Knows The Bible And Myself I Use The Bible's Words That Is Why I Can't Remember Scriptures It's Not For Me To Know Where It Said In The Bible It's For Me To Love It If The Bible

Further Yes I Asked The Holy Spirit You Know When You Read A Novel A Novel Book You Just Read It You Don't Need The Holy Spirit For Novel But But When You Read The Bible You Ask God I I'm About To

Declate In Faith Sometimes You When The Bible Says The Lord Is My Shepherd Don't Just Take It Lightly Say Lord What Do You Mean The Lord Is My Shepherd And Because Jesus Has Been Speaking In Parables Most Of His Life You Use That As A Way Of Saying If God Is My Shepherd I Shall Not Want I Will Not Lack Anything That Is How You Should Ask God What Is Your Intention When You Said This To David What

Family We Should Practice It Actually Together Like Practice It And Saying Like If I Say For Argument Sake What Can I Use Now Sorry What's Happening Now I Just Want To See If I Can Use This Yeah If I Can Use This Now If You Meditate Day And Night On This Scriptures If You Go To Isaiah 40 If You Go To Isaiah 40 And You Read Verse 30 Even The Youth Shall Faint And Be Weary And The Young Men Shall Utterly Fall So When You See That So Though You Grow Weary I Declare New Strength Upon Me I Will Run And Not Be Fainted So You Declare That I Am No Longer Young I Am 47 Years Of Age How Old Am I 46 47 47 Okay I'm Old Yeah It Doesn't Matter But My My Body And My Years Of Living On Earth Is Old Methuselam Got Over 900 Years So I'm Not Old That Is Why You Go Back To The Bible And Say Though You Grow Weary I Declare New Strength Into My Life Every Day Amen And This Is The Reason I'm Going To Spend A Few Minutes Declaring Upon Your Life Certain Things I Just Wanna We Have 15 Minutes Left Once One No This One You Won't Want No You Don't Do No You Won't Want I Don't Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do So I'm Going To Use This Few Minutes We Left With Fifteen Minutes Why do you want to run through that thing? The Bible says that the peace of God reigns, according to Corinthians 14 verse 33, 1 Corinthians 14 verse 33. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of saints. So, where you lack peace, where there's confusion, every confusion is silenced. That's according to scripture. So, when you feel confused or not at peace, declare, every confusion is silenced by the peace of God that reigns. If you're looking for protection, you go to Psalm 121 verse 7 and verse 8 and you declare, the Lord preserve your soul, the souls of your family, the souls of your journey. Not the souls of your journey, but your journey. So, the Lord preserve your soul, your family and the journey that you are going on, according to Psalm 121 verse 7 and verse 8. And I want you to go and read this at home so that it can declare to you the way it declared to me by the time I read it. If you want protection over your life, you can go to 2 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians 3 verse 3, where 2 Thessalonians 3 verse 3, your declaration will be, No evil will overtake you, no evil will overtake you, no evil will overtake you, for the faithful is to keep you, I mean, for the Lord is faithful to keep you, he's faithful and he's just, 2 Thessalonians 3 verse 3, I mean, if at any time you feel weak, You know, you know, sometimes it's not the work or the hard work that we have done, but it's our mental capacity that makes us to feel weak. You can go to Isaiah 40 verse 30 and you say, where strength fails, God renews you, you rise like eagle. Because when you, those who wait upon the Lord will mount up, you see that, you're waiting upon the Lord, so when there's no strength in you, you can say, where strength has failed me, God renews me. When you declare that, when you declare that, the Lord delivers you from every evil work, that is according to 2 Timothy 4 verse 18, 2 Timothy 4 verse 18, you declare that upon your life, and you say, the Lord delivers me from every evil work. Sometimes, sometimes, it's so hard for you to know that Bible is there to teach you. Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, I ask myself, if it wasn't for myself, living myself into the Bible, it would have been something that I can tell you now, that I would have failed 100 times ago, a long time ago, and I would have been gone. But because of, but because of, the Bible has been my protection, even way before, I was not even saved at the time, hardcore sinner, and God preserved me, because of the plans that He has for me. Amen. What is, what, what, Psalm 8, what is man? He says, Lord, oh Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and sucklings has thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, and that thou mayest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou had ordained, what is man, that thou art mindful of him, the son of man, that thou visited him. So, when I was even not yet given my life to Jesus, he already knew what I'm supposed to do, and therefore, today, he has thought of me, he has given me this thing, that by the time when somebody was trying to stab me, he stabbed me here once, he stabbed me here twice. The second time when he stabbed me here, God knew if it would have been one inch lower or one inch higher, it would have been in my heart, but luckily, my ribcage stopped the knife from penetrating through me. And God is so faithful at that time when I actually found out what is this, why am I paining here? When the adrenaline came down, I felt the pain, and when I saw the blood, and me seeing blood, I saw red, and I wanted to kill this guy. Luckily, God knew, if I would have killed that guy, I would have been in jail, and he sent an evangelist story. At that time, he was, he was the, you can almost say the ninja of the whole Pushdin where we used to stay, and he came to stop the guy, or stop me from killing that guy. God knew, God knew, and therefore, it's very important to understand that the Lord delivers you from every evil work. The Bible says it that, I mean, you, sorry, I mean, you have to declare, according to John 3, verse 34, So you walk in overflow, because of the Spirit of God, because of the Spirit of God, that is upon you, John 3, verse 34. The Bible also said, your work is rewarded, and God pays you in full. That's what you have to declare. Your work is rewarded, and it's, and God pays you in full. I think I should go to this, this scripture. Suddenly, suddenly the voice is, the voice today is confusing me. I sometimes... Oh my... I know. what's happening oh root is so small i'm trying to find root now i keep on passing it let's go to root second the second root i mean two root root two read verse 12 root 2 verse 12 root 2 verse 12 says the lord recompense thy work and full reward be given thee of the lord god of israel under whose wings thou art come to trust so must i read it slower no no it says the lord recompense thy work and a full reward be given thee of the lord god of israel under whose wings thou art come to trust so it says that because you trust god your work that you have been done will be compensated for so you are a work of rewarded a reward a worker that will be rewarded amen if you work there's no need for you to say i have worked so hard but working like an elephant eating like a an ant no so when the bible talk about these things we need to ask for it we need to ask for it now what does the bible says he says weeping might endure for a night yes it will but joy comes in the morning so declare and decree that the weeping i am going through now is only my night time i'm going through but joy will come in the morning joy will come in the morning it's no use of us keep on saying certain things in our lives because of we let me not let me not go there sometimes i i wish i can say say and you know those things that those times where you where you forgot that you are on the pulpit and the words that you want to use is is is too much yes sometimes i i i have to restrain myself and and and and to restrain sometimes it's also a bit of a difficulty because you're not saying what god asked you to say we cry over over our own things that we've put up on ourselves who this boyfriend okay no you went in there and make the boyfriend to sit on your head now he warm clap you and you allow it it's not the boyfriend that made you cry it's yourself allowing him to hit you because one thing i can tell you now my mom used to say this one i will this one i will say in in africans if you understand then you will if you get it he says my mother she said respect doing respect of so when i respect you i command respect back from you because of the respect i'm giving you so if you don't respect somebody you command somebody else to disrespect you so the crying that you do is because of you allow the person to do it nekis lifo oh i love him too much oh that woman i'm so much in love the woman is is showing you flames every weekend you are crying because you don't know where's the woman she said to you i'm i'm i'm going to see you on saturday saturday comes she says no i didn't mean this saturday i said the other saturday ukraine showing you flames showing you flames the bible says in in psalm 105 he says he opened the rock and the waters gushed out they run in the dry places like rivers so when when when you when you feel dry in your life you you literally declare these words you prophesy these words to yourself dry places break open with rivers of blessing from god with rivers of blessing from god you you you declare you know you know sometimes when you when you get a text from the devil you said to him hey don't you know that the bible says every knee bows at the name of jesus why are you coming here to show authority in my in my area because i am i am bowing down before jesus so because i'm bowing down before jesus every knee shall bow you have to bow down now before jesus don't let the enemy two feet you tell him you know with the finger of god with the finger of god just just a finger devils will flee and the kingdom comes and the kingdom comes upon you luke 11 verse 20 luke 11 verse 20 with the finger of god devils flee and the kingdom comes upon you that's the declaration that you should give i declare and declare that anytime whenever you go into a place where your words is not enough you go to the jeremiah jeremiah 1 verse 9 jeremiah 1 verse 9 where the bible says the lord he has anointed my no man let me let me go to jeremiah why can't i you know sometimes we can't speak jeremiah 1 jeremiah 1 verse 9 let's read verse 9 jeremiah 9 verse 1 says the following he says then the lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and the lord said unto me behold i have put words i have put my words in thy mouth i have put my words in thy mouth so you have to decree and declare that even though i don't know but the word of god that he has put into my mouth i will prophesy that word i will use that prophetic word that god has been given to me and according to the bible you need to say your tongue speak life and not death your tongue speak life and not death amen i sometimes wonder when somebody says no i sometimes wonder when somebody speak so badly about themselves i i cry actually if you go to proverbs 120 i mean sorry not one 1821 sorry death and life are in the power of the tongue and thy that love it shall eat the fruit thereof so your tongue speaks life it needs to the comforter has come you decree and declare the comforter has come you are guided and strengthened and filled by the comforter john 16 verse 7 and 8 today i didn't want to give you the scriptures that's why i didn't write the scriptures down so that i can i can give it to you as a i just said let me today you will actually see i think it's a few a few years or two years or three years back i made a comment to say that us as as pastors must stop being god and stop giving the scriptures to people so that they can go and read their own bibles and i i try to live by it but sometimes to bring the message forth it's just best to to give you the scriptures so that you can understand why am i saying what i'm saying the bible the bible bible is something that not something remember the bible is the word of god and god honor his word more than he honor himself so when you use the word against your enemies when you use your words against your situations when you use your words in tricky situations the word of god will take you out it will help you sometimes we need to gather together like maybe we choose partners and and give each other each other i'm over time give each other prophetic words you know like that's it speak into each other's life speak joy into somebody's life speak peace into somebody's life speak strength into somebody's life speak healing into somebody's life give them a prophetic word according to the bible says the lord is your shepherd why are you crying that there's nothing in the fridge at the name of jesus every knee must bow even that sickness even that depth even that fear even that confusion they have to bow down they can't stand before before god lord jesus stir up the gift of prophecy into everybody's life let every dry place receive life let every stormy river come down let your glory be the one that has been seen amongst our people anytime whenever we speak let it not be our words but direct words from you for your glory show us your glory god according to exodus 33 show us your glory god show us your glory god and he said i beseech thee show me thy glory exodus 33 verse 18 show us thy glory so that anytime whenever i say something it mustn't sound like i am the one that bring it forth but your glory be proven to others sometimes sometimes my my my prayers that i say to god is is is is sometimes out of anger i sometimes swear at him you know you know speaking to somebody i don't like swearing to others like human beings i won't do it to them i can be as angry as i am but i will yeah i hold back but when i speak to god when i'm angry i say it because the reason i'm saying it to him is so that he can reprimand me here and there and tell me what is the way forward heavenly father i have said it by your word and by your word only so therefore in the mighty name of jesus let the prophetic be in our mouths let the prophetic be in our hearts let the prophetic be in our minds in the mighty name of jesus christ our lord and savior now may the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god and the sweet fellowship of the holy spirit rest and abide with us all until jesus comes surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the lord forever and ever in jesus mighty name amen and amen amen
