Words are things! Words are forceful and potent. There is no greater way to exert influence over our world and circumstances other than through the power of the spoken words.
Little wonder that when believers become spirit-filled one of the first things God gives to them is utterance.
(1) utterance in tongues
(2) prophetic utterances.
Through our utterance in other tongues we are able to gain access into the secret mysteries and wisdom of God. We are able to build up ourselves, improve ourselves and strengthen ourselves. when we pray in other tongues we speak both the tongues and angels.
Through prophetic utterance in our known tongue we are able to create, recreate and dominate our world.
Through the spoken word we bless, build, cast down, destroy, uproot, execute judgement, dominate, rule and prevail.
The bible compares the tongue to the needle in a ship. Through the spoken word we are able to chart our course and stir our lives in the right direction.
God is first introduced to us as a speaking God.
