THE POWER OF WORDS
Words
have power! God uttered words to create
Earth with green grass, blue skies, and flowing water. Then with the sounds of intention, he created
the beast and then man in his image to inhabit it. Looking upon the product of his words, God
deemed it good and then rested in contentment of his work.
Mankind
was made in the image of God. That means
we, too, have the ability to speak creation.
Ignorance to the ability does not halt the power. Have you ever complained about an unpleasant
situation and experienced it get worse?
Words have to be chosen carefully to manifest desired creation. The order of desire must be spoken correctly
to bring it forth.
How
did Jesus heal the sick and renew the weary?
One could say he laid hands on them.
Some of them he did. Words of
intentions can be spoken with or without audible voice. How did Moses part the Red Sea? Yes, he pointed a staff towards it. Neither of us was there, so we don’t know if
he uttered sounds of intentions that were able to be heard or not. He might have spoken in his heart and acted
with faith upon belief.
Faith
and belief make words do what they do.
Belief provides words to be spoken; while faith supports the actions
taken in addition to words spoken from belief.
Together they create experiences.
Humans
interpret most experiences as good or bad; based on pleasantness. I was surprised when I came into the
knowledge of how I create my life experiences word by word.
Writers
use words to create stories and experiences for readers’ entertainment. I was learning how to write in the design of
public share at the same time that I was made aware of the power of words. Briefly, the phenomenon took form as a
stumbling block for my attempt to advance in a rewarding career. Fear of
creation held my words hostage.
I
was in the midst of a series of unpleasant experiences in my life that I wanted
to overcome. Not only did I want to, I needed to write to have something to
establish a career with. My mind hesitated
for fear of writing the wrong thing.
Obviously,
I have overcome my fear of writing. For
that I am grateful. I take my time and
choose my words carefully when I speak and write. My intentions give better clues about the
words I need to speak to create my desires.
Clarity of intentions is important.
Sometimes,
intentions hide behind desires. Close
examination may be necessary. If you
desire to have a significant other in your life, an advancement of money, or
any other experience, why you desire these things will play a significant role
in creation when you attempt to bring them into experience. Once you are certain of what you desire, ask
yourself why you desire what you
do.
Why
are you without the things you desire?
This is a question I had to ask myself.
The answer gave insight into prior creations and the words I had spoken
to bring them forth. My initial answer
was, “I don’t know.” Determination to
create better experiences formulated a different answer.
I
was without the things I desired partly because I did not know how to obtain
them. As a result, I believed my desires
were out of my reach. The words I spoke
in casual conversation and as mental chatter came from a belief that was the
complete opposite of my desires. My
experiences, in accordance with my words and belief, were also different from
my desires. The power of words became
clear.
Have
you ever considered the reason words of encouragement evoke pleasant
feelings? On the surface, they are made
of the same material as words of criticism.
Yet, they engage different emotions.
What
about a terminally ill person who speak words of death versus one in a similar
experience who speak words of life and good health? What if the future reality of the person who
spoke words of death is death and life for the one who spoke life?
This
phenomenon would be seen as a miracle or divine intervention. It is even possible for the survivor to be
spoken about as a rare case and someone who beat odds. Explaining what happened, in this particular
scenario described above, in the ways proposed overlook words spoken during
experience. Many times this information
is unknown and/or unattended to.
Before
I move forward, let me acknowledge the fact that I am aware the scenarios I offered
above (simply for thought) does not represent all terminally ill persons and
their experiences.
Having
said that, I know a mother of 5 children who confided in me about the way she
felt during a challenging time in her life.
She expressed dislike for things her children did and the consequences
it cost not only the acting child, but also her as the mother of a minor. Her love life was null after a failed
marriage. No matter how much she desired
to be happy, she wasn’t and claimed she never would be as long as the people in
her life continued to make the decisions that negatively affected her.
She
was right. My mother died at age 49,
after prolonged unhappiness. She did not
experience her desire of happiness but she did experience the fulfillment of
her words.
Recently,
I started working a job where I was made to feel uncomfortable my first
day. Immediately, I contemplated
quitting versus monetary survival. Extra
cash was my aim so I asked for strength and stamina to deal with the difficult
store owner’s son in order to continue.
My prayer was answered each day that I asked, yet, I continued to talk
about initial feelings and the dislike I held for work in this particular
environment. To my surprise, on a day
that I asked for strength and stamina to survive the workday, the difficult
store owner’s son forcefully took a container from my hands.
In
the moment where I held on to one side of the container and him the other with
forceful pull between us (from him), I surrendered and let go but was not satisfied. Powerful words escaped my mouth upon our next
interaction.
“Unless we are working as a
team, don’t ever grab hold of anything in my hands. Because, I can’t be responsible for my
reaction,” I said only loud enough to be heard by him who was behind me. He pivoted and walked away without saying
anything else to me. Instead, I heard
him tell a nearby manager, “Have her clock out.”
Wow! This was not what I expected when I left home
for work. I had spoken words that had
cost me my job. All of the words I had
spoken before and during the final experience with the store owner’s son
created the outcome. Did I receive my
desire? Yes, I must say. No longer do I have to face the difficult
store owner’s son and he was made aware of my reaction to his actions. This was achieved professionally without
losing control. Back to the creation
zone for extra income; and this time I specify, I would like the source to
produce positive experiences in the process of providing money.
The
message I desire to leave with you is, WORDS HAVE POWER. Be careful how you choose them. I wish you words of peace, comfort, and
love. Practice makes plenty.J I will keep you posted on progress I make towards living out my dreams.
Sincerely,
