We'll share how doing so can help you recognize God's faithfulness, even in the most challenging seasons. By directing our focus with our words, we'll uncover the value of celebrating every step of progress and acknowledging God's presence in both big and small ways.

Gilon Marts (00:10):
Hey y'all, it's The Walking Well podcast.
I'm your host, Gilon Marts.
Thank you for tuning in, thankyou for listening.
We're in season seven, andseason seven is all about when
you find yourself in thewilderness, when you find
yourself in a place where youdon't know what's going on,
where God seems silent or faraway, where you feel stretched
beyond belief, where things arejust shifting and changing, and
it's very uncomfortable.
(00:30):
And so season seven is my tipsfor the wilderness, not
necessarily like answers or'this is how you get out of it',
but like when you find yourselfhere
these are the things that havehelped me in this space.
And so we've talked abouthaving to be hopeful.
We've talked about making peacewith time, participating in our
faith, prayer and praying, andtoday is about words.
(00:51):
And if you follow the podcast,you know I'm really passionate
about how we use our words,because they are just such an
expression of our authority asbelievers.
They are such an expression ofour autonomy, our ability to
speak to something and seethings shift and change based on
what we release into theatmosphere and to the earth.
(01:12):
And so this is- it's notbeating a dead horse, but it's
just kind of like getting onthat pedestal again, or that
soapbox again to say here evennow, especially here, in a space
where things just feel like outof whack, it's still important
to pay attention to our words.
So Proverbs 18 (01:28):
21 is one of my favorite verses when it comes
to how we use our words, whichbasically says death and life
are in the power of the tongue,but they that love it will eat
the fruit thereof.
And so two really key ideas,which is you have a lot of
influence with your words.
(01:49):
You have a lot of influencewith your words towards yourself
, towards others, your world,but then also that your reality
may very well be based on thewords that you've released- you
know, your existence, thethings that you're seeing or not
seeing.
You m ay be able to trace thatstuff , to go, Oh wait, I might
be delivering on my words.
You know this might be areflection of what I've said or
(02:11):
failed to say.
And so my main idea for thisepisode, the main point I want
to make, is that your wordsshape reality, and not shape
reality in the sense of like, oh, i can get myself up out of
this space if I just speakagainst it, like that's not
gonna work, don't try it.
But it is to say that the waythat you experience this place,
(02:35):
the way that you experience andmove through and posture
yourself in this space, will bevery much so dependent upon and
influenced by your words.
You know, the scripture saysthat out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaks.
And I know, for me, when Irealized like Oh, this is a
place that you've placed me andI'm not getting up out of it
anytime, sooner than you intendfor me to get out of it, i was
(02:56):
doing a lot of complaining.
I was like I was talking to mytherapist, i was talking to my
mom, journaling, and all of itwas just like this is not
working, that's not working.
What's going on?
I thought you said, you know,just doing all of that, and I
think there's a place for thatin the wilderness, like I think
we have a, you know, areflection in the Psalms of
David and others, just kind ofcrying out like this is what it
(03:17):
is, this is how I feel, this iswhat I'm thinking And I'm just
going to dump all of that atyour feet.
But I think the wilderness isreally tempting because we can
find that that's our onlydeclaration, that's the only
thing that's coming out of ourmouth is this is not working.
This is uncomfortable.
We hate it here And here.
If not, it's just as importanthere as anywhere else any other
(03:40):
season in life to pay attention,to be intentional with our
words.
When I was walking throughanxiety in 2019- ish, the
importance of the words that Ispoke was so clear and like was
just so clearly demonstrated tome, because I think that whole
(04:02):
faith comes by hearing, andhearing by the word of God, but
also making a daily declarationin alignment with truth and
alignment with the word of God.
Things moved and shifted inways that I was like oh, this
might be a thing, this is real,and it really changed my posture
on the words that I said Likeyou just not catch me being like
, oh my God, I'm dead, lol.
Like, no, I don't ever.
I'm like oh, my words are realimportant, they're influential.
(04:23):
I'm not about to declare deathover me And you can think that's
deep, And that's fine, I don'tcare.
I'm real careful with my wordsbecause I've seen the positive
impact.
I've seen how my words haveshifted emotional spaces and
spiritual spaces for me, so I'mnot just going to throw stuff
around willy-nilly, but again inthe wilderness, you can feel so
much pressure that that's justwhat's coming up out of you, and
(04:47):
I think my encouragement, youknow, to you listener, a watcher
, is to not fall off of what youknow to do, especially in the
area of your words.
Right?
Your words are still going tobring life or death.
Your words are still going tobe something that create a
reality and shape a reality foryou, and so, you know, if you're
not intentional with them,you're complaining.
(05:11):
Not that you don't get theright to vent to the Lord or to
your people- you do have thatright.
But it can't be the only thingthat you're doing with your
words is basically what I'msaying.
You have to be intentional.
I've had to be intentional withusing my words in a way that
directs my focus to what I wantto see, to the reality I want to
(05:32):
experience, and so sometimes, alot of times, you can use your
words to direct your focus.
You know, like I said, out ofthe abundance of the heart, the
mouth speaks, and so your wordsare belying where your focus is,
and if your focus is in,nothing is working, everything
is going wrong.
God's not listening.
You're hearing that, you know.
(05:53):
You are hearing that first.
And if faith comes by hearing,then are you building your faith
in a reality that you don'twant to really experience right?
L ike, is your faith or yourunbelief being built in the
direction of 'God is notfaithful', 'God is not
listening', 'he's turned hisback on me', 'he's forgotten me'
, 'his word is not true', 'he isnot faithful'.
'I can't trust him'.
Like, if that's what you'resaying and that's what's stewing
(06:14):
in your heart, that's going tobe what comes up out of you, and
then you're going to hear itand it's just going to feed into
the system, the cyclical system, and it's going to have the
opposite effect.
I really think that there werethings that the children of
Israel did that kind ofprolonged, obviously, their
experience in the wilderness.
And complaining and the refusalto believe God, I think are two
(06:36):
really key things, because whenyou complain, when you spew out
all of the things that gocontrary to what you hope to
experience, you're hearing thatand your faith is being built in
that.
There's a scripture that saysJesus was talking to disciples,
talking to people, and he's likehey, if you have the faith of a
mustard seed, you could say tothis mountain, be thou removed
and cast in the sea and it'llobey you.
(06:56):
And obviously we're notwatching mountains get tossed
into the sea, but I think whathe's saying, I believe what
Jesus was saying in that space,is a little bit of faith has a
lot of, a lot of bit of movement, right?
And so if I'm building my faithor my unbelief because faith is
just belief in the positivedirection right, if I'm
fostering an unbelieving heart,if I'm going yeah, God's not,
(07:18):
God's not, God's not.
And I'm eating that, how can Iexpect to see God move?
I can't even.
I can't pray faithful prayers.
I can't wake up in the morningwith expectation that God is
going to be who he said he'sgoing to be, and so now all of
my energy, all of my authorityis being partnered with an
outcome I don't even want.
Right?
And so we have to also bereally mindful of that, that
(07:39):
it's not just going to be a waythat we direct our focus, but
that we have to be mindful thatwe are creative speaking beings,
that we have authority all upin our words.
Our words are laced withauthority, and you can see this
not just in Christian spaces,but out in the world.
The world knows, hey, when Isay something, I speak it, I'm
bringing it towards me becauseit's just a natural law.
It's a law that God has put inthe earth that impacts everybody
(07:59):
.
And so if I'm someone thatspeaks- not if I, because I'm
someone that speaks and thingsobey me because God created me
in his image and that's how Godrules, I got to be mindful of
what I'm partnering my authoritywith right?
I have to be mindful of how Itake the authority the God-given
the authority I have to speakand see things move and change,
and what I'm, what I'massociating that with right?
(08:21):
And so this is really just anencouragement to be mindful.
When you're in the, when you'rein the desert and things are
tight and you're feelingstretched and it's really
uncomfortable, it's okay tojournal, it's okay to vent, it's
okay to say whatever you- youneed to say to get it off of
your chest.
But man, regroup, regroup,regroup.
I remember there was a time Iwas writing in my journal, I was
just fuming just like God, thisand this and this and this and
(08:43):
this and this.
And I sat back and I just waslike, okay, we just said a lot
of negativity, not justnegativity, like you're not
supposed to be negative.
But, like we just said, Godisn't, God didn't, God this God,
this God, this.
There's no way that God isabsolutely not coming through.
There's no way.
That's just- that can't just be, that just can't be the truth,
right?
So now I had this opportunity toreflect and go, that all--
(09:05):
everything was bad.
Is everything bad?
Like, are there some goodthings happening?
Let's be honest, sis, like,let's be truthful.
And for me in that moment itwas like, oh wait, I can see my
perspective is off because I'mnot even going, God, thank you
for breath in my body, Or thankyou that my family is healthy.
God, I'm believing you forhealing for this person.
(09:26):
I'm not seeing it right now,but you said you're a healer.
Like, I'm not even engaging inthat process.
It's one of those things like,so, as a therapist, if someone
sits down with me and they'relike this isn't going right,
that's not going right,everything is wrong.
I know, because I'm soberthinking, I'm not as tight up in
, as close up in theircircumstances- I know the
likelihood that everything isgoing wrong is highly unlikely.
(09:49):
There's something going well,something is going right in
their universe, right?
But because they're so like,focused so tight in on the thing
that's not going well, theycan't see it.
And so it's my job to reflectand go wait, didn't you get a
promotion last week?
Well, last time we talked, yousaid your daughter was like
having this conversation withyou, was opening up and being
honest, and that wasn'tsomething that she had done
(10:11):
before.
So that's, I mean, that's a win, right?
So now I have to reflect backto them like, wait a second.
I know that's what you'resaying, but some of your
perspective is off, right?
And so in this space, I thinkit's really important that we
not only have people that cango, I hear what you're saying;
that's not the whole truth.
It's important that we can dothat for ourselves, but I think
(10:31):
the main way that we're able tokind of step back is to be able
to go, Wait,what has God said to me?
Right?
I'm talking about theimportance of words.
What has God said to me?
What are promises God made me?
What are whispers that God gaveme in night seasons?
What are dreams that I've had?
Let me go back through myjournals, through times when I
remember things were really goodand really tight, because right
now I'm just taking ininformation through my senses
(10:53):
and I'm allowing it to dictatewho God is to me.
God has been faithful, God hasbeen good.
This season is just a tight one, and so I need to be reminded
of what truth is.
And on top of that, I need tosay it out loud: God, I'm
thankful for.
.
.
Lord, I see that you did thisthing.
I was concerned about that.
Thank you for working on it.
Say it out loud, because asmuch as we've complained, as
(11:14):
much as I've complained aboutthe tightness of the season,
about feeling like God are youlistening to me As much as I've
complained about that or broughtup my requests about how I wish
things were, I need to also bemindful and intentional with my
words and building my faith.
This isn't forever, it's for now.
(11:35):
This is where you are today,but know that God is doing
something.
Lord, thank you that myendurance is being built up.
God, you know, if this wouldhave happened a month ago, it
might have crumbled me, but Iknow that because I went through
it before I'm getting stronger.
It's not impacting me like itused to.
I am speaking kindly to myself.
What?
! That is such progress, Lord,like I'm being gentle with
myself.
Whoa, this is all good.
(11:56):
These are all good things.
These are all testaments ofGod's faithfulness.
And so, while maybe some of thebig things are still on the way
that you're praying for andbelieving for, it's okay a nd
it's important that we pause andgo, wait God is still faithful,
and I can point out hisfaithfulness here, here and
there.
So that's just my encouragementthat, as as much as you're
(12:17):
feeling pressed on every side orpulled in every kind of which
way, be mindful about using yourinfluence, your authority, in a
way that highlights thegoodness of God, highlights
God's faithfulness, so that yourfaith can consistently and
continually be built up in theGod that you know as a deliverer
, the God that you know who seesyou and knows you and cares for
you and carries you.
So that's my encouragement (12:38):
Use your words today to highlight
God's faithfulness in your lifeand gratitude and gratefulness,
and just even the moment oflike, You know what?
I won't be- I won't bedominated by darkness.
I'm not going to be overcome bynegativity.
(13:00):
God is doing something and Irefuse to let it go
unacknowledged Right.
So that's my encouragement toyou this week.
Pick something that you knowGod is doing that is a win for
you, and thank him for it outloud with your words and be
intentional with your wordsabout highlighting the
faithfulness of God, thegoodness of God and how God is
showing up for you, like he'sshowing up for me in every day,
(13:23):
little and big ways.
So that's it for this week.
I hope you have an amazing one.
Make it a great one.
Talk to you guys later.
Bye.

There's no way that God isabsolutely not coming through.
There's no way.
That's just- that can't just be, that just can't be the truth,
right?
So now I had this opportunity toreflect and go, that all--
(09:05):
everything was bad.
Is everything bad?
Like, are there some goodthings happening?
Let's be honest, sis, like,let's be truthful.
And for me in that moment itwas like, oh wait, I can see my
perspective is off because I'mnot even going, God, thank you
for breath in my body, Or thankyou that my family is healthy.
God, I'm believing you forhealing for this person.

(09:49):
There's something going well,something is going right in
their universe, right?
But because they're so like,focused so tight in on the thing
that's not going well, theycan't see it.
And so it's my job to reflectand go wait, didn't you get a
promotion last week?
Well, last time we talked, yousaid your daughter was like
having this conversation withyou, was opening up and being
honest, and that wasn'tsomething that she had done
(10:11):
before.
So that's, I mean, that's a win, right?
So now I have to reflect backto them like, wait a second.
I know that's what you'resaying, but some of your
perspective is off, right?
And so in this space, I thinkit's really important that we
not only have people that cango, I hear what you're saying;
that's not the whole truth.
It's important that we can dothat for ourselves, but I think
(10:31):
the main way that we're able tokind of step back is to be able
to go, Wait,what has God said to me?
Right?
I'm talking about theimportance of words.
What has God said to me?
What are promises God made me?
What are whispers that God gaveme in night seasons?
What are dreams that I've had?
Let me go back through myjournals, through times when I
remember things were really goodand really tight, because right
now I'm just taking ininformation through my senses
(10:53):
and I'm allowing it to dictatewho God is to me.
God has been faithful, God hasbeen good.
This season is just a tight one, and so I need to be reminded
of what truth is.
And on top of that, I need tosay it out loud: God, I'm
thankful for.
.
.
Lord, I see that you did thisthing.
I was concerned about that.
Thank you for working on it.
Say it out loud, because asmuch as we've complained, as
(11:14):
much as I've complained aboutthe tightness of the season,
about feeling like God are youlistening to me As much as I've
complained about that or broughtup my requests about how I wish
things were, I need to also bemindful and intentional with my
words and building my faith.
This isn't forever, it's for now.
(11:35):
This is where you are today,but know that God is doing
something.
Lord, thank you that myendurance is being built up.
God, you know, if this wouldhave happened a month ago, it
might have crumbled me, but Iknow that because I went through
it before I'm getting stronger.
It's not impacting me like itused to.
I am speaking kindly to myself.
What?
! That is such progress, Lord,like I'm being gentle with
myself.
Whoa, this is all good.
(11:56):
These are all good things.
These are all testaments ofGod's faithfulness.
And so, while maybe some of thebig things are still on the way
that you're praying for andbelieving for, it's okay a nd
it's important that we pause andgo, wait God is still faithful,
and I can point out hisfaithfulness here, here and
there.
So that's just my encouragementthat, as as much as you're
(12:17):
feeling pressed on every side orpulled in every kind of which
way, be mindful about using yourinfluence, your authority, in a
way that highlights thegoodness of God, highlights
God's faithfulness, so that yourfaith can consistently and
continually be built up in theGod that you know as a deliverer
, the God that you know who seesyou and knows you and cares for
you and carries you.
So that's my encouragement (12:38):
Use your words today to highlight
God's faithfulness in your lifeand gratitude and gratefulness,
and just even the moment oflike, You know what?
I won't be- I won't bedominated by darkness.
I'm not going to be overcome bynegativity.
(13:00):
God is doing something and Irefuse to let it go
unacknowledged Right.
So that's my encouragement toyou this week.
Pick something that you knowGod is doing that is a win for
you, and thank him for it outloud with your words and be
intentional with your wordsabout highlighting the
faithfulness of God, thegoodness of God and how God is
showing up for you, like he'sshowing up for me in every day,
(13:23):
little and big ways.
So that's it for this week.
I hope you have an amazing one.
Make it a great one.
Talk to you guys later.
Bye.
