Finished this in SURFF today! As small as this book can be, it actually contains life-changing and profound wisdom from above. It's such a short but powerful book. Brother Hagin reminded me again the power of the words I say day to day. Mark 11:23 he shall have whatever he saith. Now when I think about it, whatever I have today was a result of what I have said about 5 years ago...good or bad. It's the same with the lives of people around me. They all seem to have what they have said. This means I can have what I say in about five years time and I am only going to say the good things I want to see happen.

WORDS

Thanks so very much Pastor Hagin for this awesome book. It spoke reality’s to my life and what I speak on a daily basis. Thanks for teaching I have what I say, good or bad has an effect on my life in the future. By speaking things from my pass is where I am in my life right now. This is a wake call for me to speak better things and extravagant things I can’t fathom into my life because nothing is too hard for GOD! I would recommend this book to parents, teachers, pastors and anyone who wants to speak life and health to themselves or family. I gave this book five stars because it’s life changing in Jesus’ name 👏👏🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️🙌🙌👍👍 Thank you!

WORDS…WORDS…WORDS

They either make us or break us. They heal us or make us sick. Words bless us or curse us. Learn to speak the right words over your life and your family lives. We must learn to stop speaking fear, sickness, worry and disappointment and start speaking health, winning and defeat.
Mr. Hagin made a great point that was told to him by a doctor(s). Worrying will kill you. There are more people in the grave who have died because of worrying than any other cause of death.
The words we speak identify us, set the boundaries of our lives and affect our spirit.

Learn to speak life..and not death.

Watch Your Words

I am a big fan of Kenneth Hagin books. This book is no exception. In this book, the author explains the importance of your words. We should speak according to what the Bible says about our situation and identity. Too many times, we are saying things which may be true but does not match with what the Bible says and this cancels our prayer requests. You can’t expect God to do much in your life if you are always saying things contrary to his word. This is a small read but very powerful. I recommend all to add this to their spiritual library.

Ok

The use of scripture was great for me personally. I also like the direct delivery. I gave it 3 because I find it hard to relate to authors who present themselves as perfect, with perfect children and a perfect spouse. However, I would still recommend this book as a quick read for scriptures and encouragement to build true faith through our words, and learning scriptures that teach us their importance.

100% true

This book has helped me understand how powerful my words are..... 2ndly it has let me see the truth in myself and enabled me to acknowledge how much, I have become an enemy of myself through the words I speak every single day, especially among family and friends and strangers also while reading. Therefore, I have decided to change how to speak to myself the most in front of others with my words. So I will recommend it to others.

Amazing and challenging!

I really enjoyed this book. Pastor Hagin used scriptures to solidify why the words we say are important and being steadfast in faith. It challenges me to be mindful about what comes out of my mouth and thoughts. I would recommend to anyone I think would value reading it.

This booklet, small as it is, draws from the words of Jesus and the Apostles what words can do in our lives. 'You shall have what you say' reminds always that my mouth is a rudder of my ship-life. I can sink it or drive it to my destination safe and sound.

Glory to Jesus for giving us His word to live by.

Thought Provoking!

This book is for anyone who needs to challenge and change the way you speak. It made me remember all the confessions from even the past 24 hours that I'd spoken over myself that did not align with what I truly want to see happen in my life. Grab some note cards, you'll need them!

Straight truth

Throughly enjoyed this book. Brought a fresh understanding to the confession I make over myself daily which isn't always positive. Knowledge leads to freedom, the truth itself will set you free. Have a read :)

Amazing g

Your WORDS determine what you will have in life. There was an Ouch & amen moment when he talked about double confessions. Don't say God will do it then say I don't know if we will make it.

Short but a heart filled

Plenty of truth was spoken and a refresher to know that I’m living what I speak. True believer that the Word works when you work the Word. Speak life without the defeat mentality. God word overcomes self doubt

To the Point

An easy read with bare biblical facts instructing, with supportive material, and encouraging to strengthen the weakened will to do what is necessary to acquire that for which we believe.

Short & Powerful!

This book was a short read and so powerful. It broke down how powerful our words are. After reading this everyone should be careful of the words they speak over their lives and others positive and negative they will definitely manifest. I would recommend.

Needed Reminder

I’ve been feeling isolated and lonely lately. It’s made me spiral into some negative self talk. This book has inspired me to “fight.” WORDS are powerful and I will practice speaking victory over my life. God is doing something!

Quick and powerful like a two-edged sword.

This was a powerful read and insight to great importance of the words that come out of our mouths and the intentionality we must have with every word spoken. Phenomenal book, I highly recommend.
