Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

In verse 2, God naturally saw a dark, formless, and empty earth. In verse 3, God changed what He saw in the natural by SPEAKING what He desired which was light.

We may have a life, marriage, or career that feels empty and dark. We may have thought it would be a certain way, but it’s not turning out how we desired. That’s okay. We can use our God-given authority and the power of our words to change any negative situation.

Some may say, they can’t change their circumstances because they’re not God. This is true. We’re not God Almighty, but He’s given us His authority and He’s given us power in our words just like Him. Matthew 16:19 says, And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.” Matthew 21:21 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even SAY to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.

Between these two scriptures above, God has given us the authority and our words to change whatever is negative. At the very beginning of the bible, God is showing us how to operate in this earth. I dare you to believe you have this God-given authority and continuously exercise the power of words until change manifests.
