Have you told your alarm clock to
shut up in the morning and it didn’t obey? Or stumbled in the dark to turn on
the lights? Your dilemma is over. Alarm clocks and light switches are now
available that obey your voice.
Sound modernistic? Amazing? Not
really. God spoke in the beginning, “Let there be light: and there was light.” The only amazing
thing is that God gave us voice-activating abilities, too.
Romans chapter 10:10 says that we start
our relationship with the Lord by our voice. “For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your
faith and are saved.”
The faith walk is a voice activated walk
because whatever we believe in our heart determines what we say. We learn to
look at dry bones and ask, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know if these bones can
live.” (Ezekiel 37) If he says that the
bones will live we stop looking at the bones and start speaking to them. “Dry
bones, hear the word of the LORD!” Words from the Lord are given so we can
activate dry, dead things.
The future we activate by our voice can
bring life or death (Proverbs 18:21). The
Sunday school song says:
Be careful little mouth what you say.
There’s a Father up above and He’s
looking down in love.
So be careful little mouth what you say.
The ten spies and doubters in Numbers 14 learned
the hard way that God listened to their voice.
“…as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you. Your carcasses
shall fall in the wilderness.”
I love the voice activation described in Mark
11:23 the best. It tells us we can tell mountains, ”Go jump in the lake.” Got
any mountains that are in front of you? Sickness? Relationships? Finances? Stop
staring at your mountain and describing how big it is. Join me as we say
together, “GO JUMP IN THE LAKE.”
