Just as a rudder controls the movement of a ship, so does your tongue hold within it the mighty power to release life or death. By it, you can bless or curse. Your tongue is a mighty weapon that must be used with great care; therefore, I caution you to be as wise as the serpent and as gentle as the dove in how you speak. Use My wisdom always, and My wisdom counsels you to pause and be led by My Spirit rather than by the tongue. As you do, you will receive strategies from Me that will release My truth, My plans, and My freedom because you are being led by Me.
In dire times and in moments of challenge, rather than allowing the tongue to release the problem, release the solution; this is praising in advance for the victory. There are issues and situations you are facing that require you to adopt this strategy so that My purposes for you are released into the atmosphere. Do as Jehoshaphat did during the battle and release a battalion of praise, worshiping Me, and you will see that the battle belongs to Me, assuring you of great victory as I fight for you.
Activation: Genuine thanksgiving and praise to the Lord are powerful weapons for victory. Start by thanking God and expressing gratitude for even the small things, and let worship transform into praise. As you lift your praises to Him, you will see your thoughts begin to align with His thoughts and plans for you, granting you a heavenly perspective on your situation. Like Jehoshaphat and his people, you will overcome by using this powerful weapon. Commit to this practice for 5-7 days and watch what God can do for you.
Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].Psalm 33:1 (AMP)
When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were struck down [in defeat].
2 Chronicles 20:22 (AMP)
25 But about midnight when Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
26 suddenly there was a great earthquake, so [powerful] that the very foundations of the prison were shaken and at once all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.
Acts 16:25-26 (AMP)
