Dear friends:

Scripture places much importance on what we say with our mouths.  For example, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue,” (Proverbs 18:21).  Our words release spiritual power, either positive or negative.   That is why confession is even a major factor in our salvation: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

Senior citizen Emily Dotson testifies that she was near death with lupus 13 years earlier.  The doctors had given her only a short time to live.  But after being ministered to by a full-gospel pastor who showed her God’s Word for healing, she began confessing her healing throughout every day, constantly quoting Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24.  It took about 12 months, but she did not give up and was finally and totally healed.  

A pastor asked her how many times she had to confess before she got her healing.  She replied, “I never counted it.  I don’t know.  I can only tell you that I did outtalk the devil.”  

Yes, the devil will try to outtalk, discourage, and defeat you.  But don’t let him.  Do not give up!  Don’t allow naysayers to talk you out of this powerful principle.  Keep confessing what God says. 

Outtalk the devil with God’s words, and he will shut up!
