What You Say Is What You Get

Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

An important fact of life many of us do not realize is that our words dominate us. Your life will go in the direction of your words. Your words will set the boundaries of your life and either limit or expand the possibilities in your life. Your words will make or break you. The Lord Jesus in Mark 11:23 said, “You will have whatsoever you say”. In essence, what you say is what you get!

You will never rise above the words of your mouth. You will rise or fall according to the words from your lips. You will either be healthy or sick based on what comes out of your mouth. Your words will determine whether you will be poor or rich. Whether you win and be a victor in life or you lose and be a victim is in your mouth. Your mouth will either make you succeed or fail. What you say is what you get! You will have whatever you say!

Hear what the bible says about our words.

Proverbs 6:2
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

If you say you won’t make it in life, you surely won’t make it. If you say you are broke or will be broke, poverty will hold you in warm embrace. If you say you can’t do a thing, even the little ability you have in you will take flight. You are snared with the words of your mouth. You are a captive of what comes out of your mouth. Speak words that will work for you. Your words will set the boundaries of your life.

Proverbs 12:14
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

Proverbs 13:2
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

The words of your mouth can make life good and easy for you!

Proverbs 13:3
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The Bible in James 1:19 admonishes, “let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”, because he that keeps his mouth keeps his life. Those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

Proverbs 14:3
In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

Proverbs 15:4
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

What is a “wholesome tongue”? The word “wholesome” is the Hebrew word “marpe”, which means “health, healing, cure, medicine, soundness”. We should speak words that bring wholesomeness, health and soundness. Fill your words with love and faith.

Proverbs 18:20
A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

In many instances, when the Bible talks of the belly of a man, it is referring to the spirit of man. Your words will affect your spirit and will ultimately influence the direction of your life. Whatever you say long enough will register on your spirit and will affect your life.

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Success and failure, health and sickness, prosperity and lack are in your tongue. What you say is what you will get. You will eat the fruit of what you say!

Matthew 12:36, 37
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

In the natural, whenever the law enforcement officers come to apprehend a suspect, they often say, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will and can be used against you in a court of law”, so it is here in Matthew 12:37. Jesus said, “by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”. Your words can set you free, your words can put you in bondage. That’s word Jesus said, and His Word is true!

So whatever you want to see or be in life, start speaking in that direction. Speak health, speak wealth, speak God’s Word. Fill your mouth with God’s Word no matter the situation. Remember that our words dominate us, so use words that will put you over in life!
