When Heaven Says Yes:

 Speaking Life into Your Healing

How do you use your words and the power of God's written Word to speak healing into your life?

For me, I've learned that what we speak inwardly and outwardly shapes our reality. I didn't always know this. There were seasons when my thoughts ran unchecked, my words carried more fear than faith, and my body felt the weight of it. But over time, God showed me that my voice is not just sound, it is power!

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

(Proverbs 18:21)

That verse isn't just poetry. It's a law of life. What we say matters. Our words build or break, heal or harm, uplift or undo. When I began practicing speaking life over myself, God's Word, affirmations of truth, and declarations of faith, I noticed something shift. My mind became calmer. My body carried less stress. My spirit felt nourished. 

One of the voices that inspired me along the way was Florence Scovel Shinn, an early 20th-century teacher who believed in the power of words, faith, and divine order. Her affirmations remind me of biblical truth: that God is not a God of confusion but of order (1 Corinthians 14:33), and that when we align with the word, we walk in clarity, peace, and power. I often take her affirmations and repurpose them through the lens of scripture, creating declarations that feel like a conversation between my soul and the Spirit of God. 

For example, instead of rushing through my morning in worry, I pause and declare:

• God has ordered my steps today (Psalm 37:23).
• I trust that what is for me cannot pass me by (Romans 8:28).
• Every detour is preparation, not punishment (Jeremiah 29:11)

When I begin my day this way, I feel anchored. I know I am walking in divine flow. Even delays and disruptions no longer shake me because I believe God is orchestrating all things for my good. 

                                       

"You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways." (Job 22:28)

That's why I speak boldly, because faith is not silent. Faith has a voice. And when I speak what God says about me, that I am beloved, chosen, healed, whole, prosperous...Heaven responds with yes. 

So I ask you: 

What are you saying to yourself today? Are your words aligned with God's truth, or are they rehearsing old wounds, doubts, and fears?

Every morning, I choose to declare divine order over my mind, body, spirit, and affairs. I affirm that I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. And when I don't feel it yet, I still say it. Because what begins as faith spoken in hope becomes faith fulfilled in reality.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)

Friend, you have the same authority. Your words are seeds. Plant them well, water them daily, and watch God bring forth the harvest in perfect timing.
