ACT!
Beloved congregation,
Today, I implore you to grasp the profound power of your words. The language we use, both in thought and speech, has the potential to shape our reality in ways we may not fully comprehend. It is not mere coincidence that the scriptures remind us of the significance of our words, for they hold the key to transformation.
Consider the words, "Do not dwell on your current state; instead, focus and act on the person you aspire to become." These words carry profound wisdom. They remind us that our current circumstances, while real, need not define our future. Instead, we are encouraged to use our words to shape the narrative of our lives, to pave the way for the fulfillment of our desires and aspirations.
In the sacred texts, we are reminded that our words have creative power. God, the divine Creator, spoke the world into existence through His word. In His image, we too possess the ability to create through our words, albeit on a smaller scale. Our words have the power to breathe life into our dreams, to bring about the changes we seek.
Let us remember that speaking of our limitations and current struggles only serves to reinforce them. It is akin to watering the weeds instead of nurturing the flowers. Instead, let us declare and affirm the way we want to be. Let us speak of our potential, our dreams, and our aspirations with unwavering faith.
By doing so, we align ourselves with the divine plan for our lives. We open the doors to transformation and invite the universe to conspire in our favor. This is not a call to deny reality but a call to transcend it, to rise above our circumstances through the power of faith-filled words.
Beloved, today, let us commit to speaking life into our dreams, healing into our bodies, and abundance into our lives. Let our words be a beacon of hope, a declaration of faith, and a catalyst for positive change. Through our words, we have the power to shape our destiny and walk the path of transformation.
As we leave this sacred gathering today, remember the words, "Act the way you want to be." May your words be a source of inspiration, a testament to your unwavering faith, and a driving force behind the transformation you seek.
Amen.
