The Law of Expression (Part 2)

Chris Burge Ministries' Podcast

This law states of expression that whatever is expressed is impressed, and whatever is impressed is then expressed. So for example, if you say something to yourself in a positive and uplifting fashion, that statement is impressed into your subconscious mind and will be expressed later on. This is why Proverbs 4:23 says: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” The key to using this law is to make sure that what you express is consistent with what you want to have impressed. Simply put, you want to make sure that the words that you use are words that you want to describe your life. This is why the bible says: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Never use words that make your enemy think that he is winning. Jesus always used words that reinforced the self- image that He believed the father wanted him to have. So He would make statements like: “I am the way,” “I am the door,” “I am the light,” or “I am the resurrection.” Jesus was constantly using words that reinforced His god-given identity. It is critical that we are vigilant about the words that we use. We want to be disciplined in making sure our conversation is full of uplifting words, and that we avoid negative ones. It has been said that a man cannot spew poison without consuming some himself!
