REANIMATION - PART 3

THURSDAY 20 MARCH 2025

Reanimation practically involves the right sense of reasoning, plus the virtuous perspective of spoken words, and evidently, those who serve God with a principled dimension of such understanding will always be highly favoured, because in this age of glorification of the Church, the new creation is supremely blessed by transfiguring words of power - spiritually, materially and otherwise. More below! 

Reference:  2nd Corinthians 4:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day."

The greatest of apostles says, "therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying...

Shall not the ministration of your words be rather glorious? This question is for those who dare to be curious enough to reconsider the status quo of the above wordings, and avoid entertaining the latter part of this versified statement. By this I mean that the idea of "our outer person decaying or wasting away" can be discarded and expunged from your vocabulary. Why? The New Living Translation of Proverbs 18:21 reads, "The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (NLT). And its quite important to realise that this is not a new revelation, since it is located in the Old Testament writings.

As a born again Christian, you have to be an exceptional individual who makes an extraordinary impact with your words. You must gain the understanding that your words have creative energy and stand in the spiritual and earthly realm - as a testament to the transformative power of God.

There is no glory in speaking decay over any aspect of your life; therefore by reason of the resident glory that excels in you, mind your words at all times. Instead of declaring: though my outer person is wasting away, you can direct the same energy to speak: though my outer person is getting renewed like that of eagle's - in Christ. The latter is a ground-breaking or creative declaration that bears the name of the Lord, for the sake of enduring impact, which means that it is sufficiently important to constantly repeat such affirmation, and refuse to be open to "anything goes" kind of word.

Beloved, you serve a God who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's (Psalm 103:5 ESV). Therefore, it is needful for you to speak forth powerful words over your physical body - yes, words which are affirmed positively and sincerely until the end of time, in line with eternal life at work in you, and by His grace.

Johannine literature [numbered as 3 John 2] reads, "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers" (NASB). After reading this kind of Scripture, I believe that it is unwise to navigate through life, without discerning the phrasal and clausal elements that make up your words. Or didn't you notice that apostle John did not take any aspect of human life for granted? Prospering in good health does not entail your "outer person decaying." Stay tuned for part 4. Shalom!

Guided Prayer:

Heavenly Father, your Word is life and Spirit, and it is more than able to richly reward your faithful worshippers in this day and age, as they speak forth your perfect will concerning every detail of their lives both prophetically and affirmatively. Thank you for your enabling grace at work in me, which propels me to declare your perfect wisdom and establish it in ways that move me forward and heavenward, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
