Words are instrumental

When we employ negative language, God distances His self from us, granting our petition for adversity to ensue (respecting individuals' free-will).

When we speak positive words, but don't believe in our hearts what we speak, God stands still.

When we speak positive words, believe in those words, but the assertions don't line up with God's Word, God stands still.

When we speak positive words, believe in them with our hearts, and they align with God's Word, God's favor follows, and He will emit blessings according to His purpose.

In this way, power exists in the tongue of man. When God distances His self, the powers of death (evil) increase in effect. When God remains motionless, life turns stagnant, which resembles the condition of death. But, when God finds favor, He moves forward, emitting blessing upon the favored, initiating progress, which produces life.

Therefore, in times of affliction, remain positive, remain hopeful, and remain faithful to The Word of God. God's love for you is endless, and He desires to bless you in every aspect of the life He giveth you.
