Your tongue will end up repeating the thoughts you have entertained in your mind. You must therefore counter negative thoughts that are contrary to or rebelling against the Word in your life and rebelling against what you truly deserve. Do not allow negative thoughts to flow through your mind lest they cripple your faith and make it feeble. Listen to this: When our thinking becomes right, our believing will be right and our talking will be right. If you can control your thinking, you can control your talking and if you can control your talking, you can control your life. This is why James teaches that if a man can control his tongue, he can control his life. Remember that controlling your tongue begins by controlling your thoughts.

He did the same for Sarai by changing her name to "Sarah". You will better appreciate this when you consider that Sarah means princess. He did this so that Sarah who previously saw herself as an old woman could perceive as a young woman. You can see how God had to change the words they were hearing consistently in the present even though the manifestation was in future. If hope is the melody of the future, faith is your dance to it in the present. If you change the way you speak about your life, you can change your life. Your declarations must ch
