NEW MERCIES DAILY!
THEME: The Bondage Called “I’m Waiting on God”
DAY 4 – Monday, July 7, 2025
MESSAGE TITLE: The Tongue That Builds Futures… or Prisons
SCRIPTURE TEXTS:
Proverbs 18:21 – “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…”
James 3:6 – “The tongue is a fire… it defileth the whole body…”
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Every word is a brick. Every sentence is a seed. Your words were never idle-they were builders. The house you live in today was framed by the sentences you laid yesterday.
MESSAGE
Child of God, cry if you must-but listen: many are not delayed by demons. They are detained by declarations.
Proverbs 18:21 reveals that the tongue doesn’t just speak-it seeds. Every time you say, “Nothing good lasts with me,” you plant death. Those who love to use their tongue will eat its fruit-sweet or bitter. Stop checking your enemies and start checking your vocabulary.
James 3:6 calls the tongue a fire, a world of iniquity, and says it is set on fire of hell. This means Satan doesn’t need your hands-he just needs your mouth.
The tongue is not just an organ; it’s a builder.
It lays bricks with every complaint.
It stacks walls with every fearful sentence.
It shuts doors with every “I can’t.”
You fast, but still say things like:
“I’m tired of everything-nothing works.”
“It’s too late for me now.”
“Nobody in my family lives long.”
“My problem is my family-too many witches.”
“Struggle runs in our blood.”
These are not harmless phrases. They are prison bricks.
The Israelites didn’t die in the wilderness because Pharaoh chased them. They died because they said, “Were there no graves in Egypt?” (Num 14:2, 28).
They spoke death until death agreed.
But the Shunammite woman, though her son lay cold, declared, “It is well” (2 Ki 4:26). Resurrection followed her declaration.
Zacharias doubted the angel-and Heaven silenced him (Lk 1:18–20). Some miracles are too fragile to survive human commentary.
Beloved, the warfare is not always from witches-it may be from your own words. Until you cancel old confessions, new prayers remain undelivered.
TAKEAWAY STATEMENT
Demonic deliverance is swift. Deliverance from your own mouth takes discipline. You don’t need a prophet-you need a new pattern of speech.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, baptize my tongue with faith and fire. Let my words echo Heaven, not fear.
2. Father, destroy every prison my careless words constructed.
3. O Lord, annul every destructive prophecy I spoke over myself. Rewrite my story for Your glory-in Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen!
4.
