Words are serious business and we need to get serious about learning how to use them. We need to begin to put them to work for us like God Himself does. The Bible tells us that He uses words to "call those things which be not as though they were" (Rom. 4:17).
Most of us do not have the faintest idea how to do that. The very thought of calling "things which be not as though they were" seems a little crazy.
There's a vast difference between lying and speaking by faith. A lie is meant to deceive someone. It's designed to make someone believe something that is not true. But to speak by faith is simply to speak words that agree with the Word of God instead of the circumstances around you. It's speaking from your spirit instead of from your mind.
We should look forward in bringing both our tongue and our heart in line with the Word. Stop "telling it like it is" and start speaking and believing the promises of God. Put the power of words to work for you.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
