Never Again List

The Never Again List:
Powerful Words to Win in Life

One of the powerful life lessons I’ve learned is the power of the spoken word.

Growing up, negative talk was not allowed in our house. If we did speak with pessimistic words, my mom would quote bible verses to help us renew our minds and reset our mood. My mom taught me to handle problems through prayer and by speaking the Word of God out loud. 

Over the years, I’ve stumbled through life on my own without following my mom’s teaching. Negative thoughts and speech pushed away potential mates, sabotaged career opportunities, and prevented me from being happy. I  allowed my fears and insecurities to take control of my mind.  At times, I cycled through bouts of depression and eating disorders.

As I matured in my faith, God renewed my spirit to align my life with his. Now, I see life with opened eyes and understand why my mom stressed the importance of being strong in the Word and watching what we say.  Because the words you profess have the power to direct the outcome of your life.  As quoted in Proverbs 6:2, “You have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth.”

To help you in your own life journey, I posted the “Never Again List” taken from the book What You Say Is What You Get by Don Gossett.

THE NEVER AGAIN LIST by Jon Gossett

• Never again will I confess “I can’t” for “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13)
• Never again will I confess lack, for “My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
• Never again will I confess fear, for “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
• Never again will I confess doubt and lack of faith, for “God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3)
• Never again will I confess weakness, for “The Lord is the strength of my life.” (Psalm 27:1) “The people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” (Daniel 11:32)
• Never again will I confess supremacy of Satan over my life, for “Greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)
• Never again will I confess defeat, for “God always causeth me to triumph in Christ Jesus.” (2 Corinthians 2:14)
• Never again will I confess lack of wisdom, for “Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom from God.” (1 Corinthians 1:30)
• Never again will I confess sickness, for “With His stripes I am healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Jesus “Himself took my infirmities and bare my sickness.” (Matthew 8:17)
• Never again will I confess worries and frustrations, for I am “Casting all my cares upon Him, who careth for me.” (1 Peter 5:7) In Christ I am “care-free.”
• Never again will I confess bondage, for “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)
• Never again will I confess condemnation, for “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1) I am in Christ; therefore, I am free from condemnation.
• Never again will I confess loneliness, Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20) “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5)
• Never again will I confess curses or bad luck, for “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us…that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Galatians 3:13-14)
• Never again will I confess discontent because “I have learned, in whatsoever state (circumstances) I am, therewith to be content.” (Philippians 4:11)
• Never again will I confess unworthiness because “He hath made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)  The confession of our mouths will eventually bring forth the things we speak.

Taste & See Life friends, I hope you apply these scripture verses from the Never Again List to overcome fear, doubt, and insecurity. May you continue to grow in your faith and win in life.
