The Power of Words and Embracing Your Divine Identity

In the latest episode of The Unsidelined Life podcast, I explored the impact of words and the power of faith in overcoming fear. As a former NFL wife and the founder of Lady Bellator, I shared personal experiences and spiritual insights

 

In this episode, let's dive into the topic of how our words shape our reality and how we can harness divine power to combat fear and negative thinking. We will go over practical strategies for using our voice as a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare and encourage listeners to embrace their identity as children of God.

The Power of Words in Shaping Reality

Our words carry power, capable of shaping our perceptions and influencing our experiences. The importance of being mindful of what we speak, as our subconscious mind and the spiritual realm respond to our verbal declarations.

 

The conscious and subconscious mind is a filter system that constantly processes information from our environment. Our subconscious mind interprets this data, potentially leading to misinterpretations or false connections based on past experiences in our conscious mind. This understanding highlights the need to be intentional about words spoken, ensuring they align with truth and positivity.

 

Try using your words as a tool for "reality checks." By verbally affirming truth and positive statements, we can reshape our thinking patterns and combat negative thoughts or fears that may arise. This practice not only impacts our mental state but also has physiological and neurological effects, bringing one back to a place of truth and clarity.

Prayer Vs. Fear

Prayer is presented as a powerful weapon in the battle against fear and negative thinking. Praying God's word can help align you with God's will and tap into a source of immense strength and effectiveness.

 

Holding God accountable to His promises is a bold yet faith-filled approach to prayer. God delights in seeing His children claim His promises and eagerly waits to fulfill them. This perspective transforms prayer into a powerful dialogue with God, where active participation brings His promises to fruition.

Praise as a Strategy

Praise of God is a potent strategy against the enemy's attacks. Praising God, especially in difficult circumstances, is an act of faith that can shift our focus from our problems to God's greatness and faithfulness. 

 

I have personally used praise to combat feelings of discouragement or fear. By choosing to thank God for His attributes and promises, even when circumstances seem bleak, you can create an atmosphere that is inhospitable to fear and doubt. This not only strengthens faith but also serves as a declaration of trust in God's goodness and sovereignty.

 

Praise is not just about feeling good; it's a strategic move in spiritual warfare. The enemy flees in the presence of praise, making it a powerful tool for overcoming spiritual attacks and maintaining a strong, faith-filled stance in the face of challenges.

Your Divine Identity and God's Word

It is important that you understand and embrace your identity in Christ. You can use God's word to shape your self-perception and combat lies or insecurities that may have taken root in your life.

 

My self-discovery of my divine identity came to me as I developed the concept of  "Lady Bellator" - a royal warrior in God's kingdom. This revelation came through studying scripture and receiving prophetic words, as I decided to be open to them. This understanding of her identity has empowered her to step into her calling and face challenges with confidence.

You Are A Child of God

Nothing can help you more than embracing your identity as a child of God. Your words have power, and your voice matters. By aligning your speech with God's truths, engaging in powerful prayer, and praising God even in difficult times, you can overcome fear and step boldly into the purpose God has for you.

 

You are created in God's image, endowed with the authority to share His truth. Don't allow fear or insecurity to silence your voice. Instead, use it as a weapon of warfare against the devil’s schemes. Declare God's promises over your life, affirm your identity in Christ, and watch as the power of your words begins to shape your reality.

 

As you move forward, challenge yourself to be more intentional with your words. Seek out God's truth about who you are and begin to speak it over your life daily. Embrace the journey of discovering your unique calling as a child of God, and don't be afraid to step out in faith.
