The power of spoken words


"I break everything I touch!!!" My son's words bellowed through the car as he tried to roll the window up. It refused to budge any further when he pushed the button. I tried and also got no results.

I lost it! His words made me angry. Something inside me snapped! I heard this statement from him several times this week.

"Who in the hell told you that!!!" I yelled in frustration, but more so because I was pissed that he really believed that!

"_________" he whispered as his eyes filled with "allergy tears", not "crying tears".

"Well, that person lied. That is NOT  the truth!"

"But I do break everything I touch!", my son again exclaimed.

I told him to get out of my car, because if he broke everything he touched, then he couldn't ride in my car (a little dramatic, I know, but I just spent $300 getting it repaired.)

He looked shocked at my statement, and rightfully so.

I took a breath and told him to rebuke it in Jesus name (renouncing it, not agreeing with it, changing his mind about that statement) or get out of my car.

"I rebuke it in Jesus name," he declared.

I pushed the button, to roll the window up, and the window rolled up perfectly.

Now, most would say it was a coincidence or whatever. That's fine. But I KNEW this was a teaching opportunity for both my son and I. I knew God just winked and was about to give us both a revelation.

Immediately after my son rebuked the lie that was spoken over him, the window worked and rolled up without any hesitation.

God has given him healing hands, creative hands, and comforting hands. Ironically, he believed the absolute opposite. My son and I talked for quite some time. I also prayed over him and spoke blessings over him.

The negative things we believe about ourselves, more than likely, contradicts the gift God has given each one of us.

What lie do you need to break away from today? I have quite a few that are about to receive healing ;)
