Experts estimate that two to five thousand words are spoken every single day. One can only wonder how many of those words are spoken for positive edification rather than spoken carelessly.

God revealed how important words are in the New Testament when Jesus Christ said, “The words that I speak to you are Spirit and they are life.” In Jon Fuller’s new book, Speaking God’s Frequency, Jon reveals how to focus on using our words to speak life into every situation. Just as Jesus’ words were spirit and life, our own words are supposed to be life-giving. Romans 8:11 tells us; the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is living in us, and one of the Holy Spirit’s desires is to empower our words. I’m absolutely convinced that we will not experience the fullness of the abundant life until we are all speaking God’s frequency.

Speaking God’s Frequency encompasses several elements of our authority as believers. Most importantly, we are hearing God and overcoming fear. Many believers doubt John 14:12, which says, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.” They don’t think they can do what Jesus did! The fear to try disables them. Jon addresses these issues and more in a unique and simple way. Speaking God’s Frequency is a powerful and anointed word for the believer who wants to do the things Jesus did.

As a child, I remember thinking that my great grandfather and my grandfather seemed to have a direct lines to God. I felt that their words went straight to God’s ears. I believed in the power of prayer, but I didn’t necessarily believe in the power of my prayer. In 2017, I was hurt very badly in a car accident. I found myself in the lowest, most helpless place I had ever been in my life. I was broken, and the only thing I could think to do was pray. It was during this difficult time that I found my frequency with God. God used my tragedy as a means to find a wavelength and brought me closer to Him. My life since that discovery has been filled with success and happiness.

Speaking God’s Frequency is an excellent roadmap to helping us understand how to tap into our relationship with God, to lean on Him and allow His love to help us succeed. But it also shows us how to continue to grow with God. We shouldn’t become satisfied, but yearn to grow closer with Him daily. The day I found my frequency with God is the day that my life, my family, and my businesses truly began to flourish in the ways that God wanted them to all along. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves wanting to know how to grow closer to God and allowing His will to be done in your life.

This book will change or fine-tune your perspective as a Christian about what is available to you and what you can experience through and in your life.

Perspective is one of the main foundation blocks that we use when we build toward changing ourselves, and then continue to build toward having an impact on the world around us. Building perspective, though, takes an intentional process.

Let me explain: I remember when I was first married, and our good friend who is a therapist was talking to us and explaining that we were going to have to form a new conflict model based on deliberate choices, or else we were doomed to repeat any dysfunction in how conflict was modeled to us when we were young. Both my wife and I had wonderful families who didn’t do conflict very well. Mine were avoiders—I watched my father sidestep his negative emotions, and sometimes I even thought he was being spiritual by bottling them up. I became introverted with my own negative emotions, trying to work out by myself what should have been handled in conversation and relationships. It was a bad model that I didn’t even know I was using until we had some breakdowns in our communication and I went into the cave of my mind and heart. The good thing is a little friendly Biblical truth and psychological perspective changed my processor. I gained an understanding of how to grow in perspective that was not natural for me.

I had to learn the tools of sharing each step of my inner journey with my wife even if I felt an offense or was affected by her instead of letting it bottle up. It took the time of building through intentional conversation with my therapist friend to show me that I needed these new tools.

As Christians, we think all of the best things in life that God intended for us are the most natural, and they will be once we mature, but they don’t start out that way. Communication with God is one of the main points in this book, and it’s one of the greatest areas of human resistance and unbelief when most of us start out. It takes intentionality in our pursuit of faith to actually grow into the belief that God has something to say to us. It takes even more faith to lay down our normal agenda and believe that He will bring a result through our lives that our talents, skills, and personality can’t do on their own—AKA a God result.

Jon’s book is going to take you on an inner pilgrimage that will challenge your lack of perspective, the inherited tools that exist in your relationship of your inner life with God. I teach people how to connect to God by hearing His voice all around the world. I have found that most people don’t think God is interacting with them very much, and yet the Biblical perspective that Jesus lays out of relationship with Him is ongoing communication through the Bible and the Spirit.

Ask yourself the following: Do you believe He talks to you? Often? Do you know how to interpret and apply what He is saying? Are you satisfied with your own inner spiritual fruit of your connection to the Holy Spirit?

These are all questions that we should have profound individual goals in so that we can not only grow into a thriving relationship with God, but also so that relationship can affect the world around us.

As you read this book, Jon is going to ask you a lot of questions at the end of each chapter, and I want to encourage you to take time to reset even if you have answers for them right away. Don’t go with the first thing that comes to your heart or mind—dig deeper, because if you want a more transformative result in your own inner journey with God, you are going to have to allow that deeper process. You are powerful to lead your journey with God.

This book is a vital manual for individuals, groups, leaders and even whole churches to realize the potential of the transformative power of the nature of God through communicating with Him in real ways that have real fruit. I highly recommend it.

Chapter One

WORDS ARE TRANSFORMATION TOOLS

“Whatever you’re facing, God has given you an incredible tool that you can start to use right now to transform your life. Your life was not meant to be lived in struggle and frustration, and God has provided us an amazing access to transformation. If you are reading this, you already have that tool with you. Have you used it lately? When used correctly, it leads to life and flourishing; if misused, it leads to death and destruction. So what is this powerful tool?

Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences” (NLT). I think the Good News Translation of this verse brings the point home in a whole new way. It says, “What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words. “

This tool that transforms us is our words. Our words can have really good consequences, or really bad ones.

I know, saying words are powerful to transform your life sounds too simple. I used to think the same thing, until I had an experience that changed and empowered me in my life forever. My life has so dramatically transformed that I can’t stop talking about it! Rest assured, if you feel skeptical about this power, that is okay. I was there too. I just ask you remember Malachi 3:10, when God says, “…And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need (ESV).” Have you tried to put God to the test by using His word, to release the abundance He has for you emotionally, relationally and financially? This is your invitation to do just that.

My Story

I want to start by taking you back to the moment that changed my mind about this issue years ago. It all started on an early Sunday morning. I was in the basement having some quiet time, praying and reading the Bible. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to read Ezekiel 37. Nothing about this was abnormal— God often spoke to my heart about passages that would turn out to be meaningful to me. As I turned the pages, the song started playing in my mind: “Them bones, them bones, them dry bones.” This song was way before my time, but I had always enjoyed hearing it as a kid. I could feel the excitement rise up in me, and my skin started to get goose bumps. I knew my Father was about to show me something and I needed to listen.

In this passage, Ezekiel has a prophetic vision to help him understand God’s heart for Israel. I want to look at this passage together, starting with the first verse in the New Living Translation, to see the power of words in action!

“The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out.”

Do you ever feel this? I know, at that time in my life, I did. There were things in my life that I felt were dead and decomposing. Things like relationships, financial situations, and dreams. It’s not like they were sort of living, or somewhat okay, or about to die—they were totally dead and dried-out bones. Not only was there no hope, but the idea that there could be hope was also dead. Maybe there are things in your life that feel the same way.

Let’s continue with verse 3: “Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel spoke this message and the bones came together with flesh and breath and became a great army. The story continues in verse 11: “Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone…”.

God was showing Ezekiel that even things that looked dead could live. This is metaphorical, of course, which makes it powerful for us to apply to our lives today. In what area do you need hope? In what area do you need God to create an army of help where you have only seen dry bones and death and hopelessness? The passage finishes with God saying Ezekiel’s words would restore hope. Verse 14 says: “Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the Lord has spoken!’”

I loved this passage, but on that particular Sunday when I was in the basement, something felt different about it. I felt something was missing. There was something more God had to say. I turned my heart to God, and I heard his prompting: “Go to Genesis.” I was not sure why at first, but then I noticed Genesis 1:26—“Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us” (NLV).

I thought about this for a moment. In the story of creation, God had just finished creating the world by speaking it into existence. Then, I realized that out of all creation, humans were the only thing made in the image of God. That means we were the only ones given the ability to create though our words. I knew words had power, but at this point, it was as if a veil was lifted from my eyes. Finally it clicked. Not only did I know it in my head, I felt it in my heart.

I could end my story there, and part of me wants to, because what happened next might be challenging for some people to understand. At the time, it challenged me to my very core! I heard the Father say to my spirit, “I want you to speak over your finances and tell them to double.”

Overcoming the Inner Cynic Honestly, I wish I had been filled with faith, but like many of us, sometimes I struggle to know “for sure” if God is saying something or if it is coming from my own mind. My first thought was (I admit) that speaking over my finances like that was not something God would tell me to do. I strongly believed that it was greedy to ask God for something like doubled finances. Not that I didn’t need it. I knew I needed my finances to double to be in a good place and meet my family’s needs, but I did not feel good about asking for that outright. I did not believe life was all, or even mostly, about money.

The second thought I had was about the “name it, and claim it” movement I grew up in. People involved in this belief system went around and spoke out loud that God wanted them to be rich and have big houses and fancy cars. They thought that God was their genie to give them what they wanted and all they had to do was keep speaking it. I didn’t agree at all with that mentality. It felt like people were trying to use God and thinking God was theirs to be used. It felt very disrespectful.

That moment in the basement was a real moment of testing for me. I did not want to speak to my finances! It made me feel I was going to sound like a crazy or greedy person. But, as I thought, I wondered what would happen if I didn’t. What would happen if God gave me this opportunity and I missed it? I wanted to obey, so I said it. I told my finances to double. But as the words came out of my mouth, I heard God speak, “Now tell your finances to triple.”

I couldn’t believe this. Maybe he asked me to tell them to double first, because if he had first asked me to tell them to triple, I would have said no, thinking it was definitely too greedy. I wondered if my heart was in the right place. If you had been there that day, hearing me tell my finances to triple, you probably would have been able to hear in my tone that I was not sure I meant it. I mumbled it like a child being forced to say sorry. I didn’t say it because I meant it, I said it because I was afraid there would be consequences if I didn’t.

This point was not hidden from God. I heard Him again: “Say it like you mean it.” I was challenged even more. What did I believe? Did I believe? Could God actually be calling me to discover Him, the God of abundance, in my finances? I was way past my comfort zone, being stretched into territory I wasn’t familiar with.

By the time I left the basement, I had spoken over my finances and commanded them to double, triple, grow, and it was all kinds of (what I thought at the time was) crazy. I can’t say for sure I had bought into the idea. But, looking back, that moment was a springboard that put me on a journey to see God demonstrate the miraculous in my life.

Over the next year, I did see the power of those words in my life. My finances grew exponentially! They did double and triple. But more importantly, what also grew was my belief that my words were truly powerful tools God gave me, and that He wanted me to use them. I realized if they were powerful over my finances, they were powerful to help my family, too. This wasn’t just about money, this was about my life. God used money because at that moment in time, I needed money to keep taking good care of my family. God cared about that, but there was so much more, He cared about all aspects of my life and wanted to breathe life into everything that I was a part of.

Just to clarify, I still do not believe in the “name it, claim it” movement. Neither God nor our words are magical genies or powers. We can’t just sit and say, “I want a million dollars” and have it appear. (Obviously, or we all would do that and the results probably wouldn’t be good for us). The key is that we need to use our words to align our lives and promises with what we know God has already spoken over us. We have to align it with His Word. What has God spoken over you? What has God told you about what He has in store for your life? What do you feel you are called to do? What is in the Bible that God has already promised that you are not seeing right now?

If we go back to Ezekiel, we see that Ezekiel did not see the bones and say, “I want them to live, that would make me feel good and powerful. I’ll go out there and speak to them!” No, instead, God showed him the bones and what was possible, and told him what to speak so that God’s words could be released on earth, which would bless Ezekiel and all of Israel in the way God wanted them to be blessed: with hope! His words were powerful because they aligned with something God had already spoken. His words were given to him, but God was the one behind them.

How Do You Know: Experience or Logic?

As I think about the start of my own story, there are two things I’ve realized that I think may be helpful to share. First, many people would say they “know” something is true in their logic. If you are like me, you probably know in your mind that the Bible says that words are powerful. But there is another kind of knowing that you get, not through your mind, but through your heart by having an experience.

If you are thinking, “Yeah, Jon, I know words are powerful, so what?” I would respond that it sounds like you have a logical knowing, not an experiential knowing. Do you experience the power of your words on a daily basis?

Knowing because of logic and knowing because of experience are two very different things. I can know all there is about how to fly a plane, but unless I have a lot of experience flying a plane, I am not a pilot. You sure are not going to want to fly in a plane I pilot if I don’t have actual experience! My logic is not powerful enough alone to make me successful in life. When it comes to the power of our words, knowledge without experience is not very powerful. Could you imagine if someone said they loved their spouse logically, but did not pursue an experience of love with them? Sounds like that relationship is doomed for failure! But how often do we do this in our relationship with God?

I like the way Ingrid Bengis puts it. She says, “For me words are a form of action, capable of influencing change. Their articulation represents a complete, lived experience.” Again, I want to ask: When did you last experience the power of your words aligning with God’s words? I want to encourage you that even if you know they are powerful, God has more than logic for you. God wants you to “taste and see” they are powerful. Why? Because Psalm 34:8 says that as we experience God, that is how we know He is good.

The second thing I want to share is to remind us that speaking God’s word is what God wants, and it is Biblical! This book is not “the gospel according to Jon Fuller.” God Himself is the one who tells us our words are powerful. If we go back to Genesis 1:26, we hear that part of our identity is that we are made to be like God. We are not made to be Him, but we are living our best life when we are imitators of God. And God created our entire reality with His words.

We are called to co-create things with our words. In the beginning, we were given authority to rule and reign over the earth. God spoke and passed His creation and transforming power to us! After everything God created, He declared it was “good.” We are also called to use our words to make things that are “good.”

What does that look like? In the coming chapters, I will be sharing many examples from many different people about what this can look like practically. But for now, I will just say that it looks like the ability to speak life and truth into existence. It is speaking in alignment with God’s good and perfect truth. It is our responsibility to take care of what God has given us. It’s very clear in Genesis that He created life, and told mankind to recreate and govern. God made man in the garden to be like Him. He gave us the ability to create and gave us an imagination. God created animals, but left it up to Adam to use his imagination to name them.

Isn’t that amazing? God wanted Adam to use his own words to define them. I believe this is a prototype of what God desires for our life. He has had a plan and purpose since the beginning of time for us, and He wants to be part of the process of building that life. At any point we can walk away from that path if we desire—that’s the free will He has given us—but if we choose to align with his words, we can flourish. Using our words well is part of how we do that. We all have free will and a choice in the life we are co-creating with God. God gave it to us, but it is up to us to define it.

Words as Creation Tools As creators, we need the right tools for what we are creating. In this book, we are focusing on the tool of words to create a powerful, transformed life. Have you ever been in the middle of a project and known deep down inside there had to be a better tool out there to help get you to your goal? In my line of work, it happens all the time. As a contractor, my main business revolves around building and remodeling houses. If anyone knows the importance of having the right tool, I do!

I remember recently a time we were trying to finish up a job. One of my crews was painting a rental house, but they didn’t have a paint sprayer with them. They started painting the trim with a brush. The project, which would have taken maybe an hour with a sprayer, would now take days! It was not that painting the house with a paintbrush was not possible. It was possible. The problem was that it was not a powerful, productive or easy way to transform the house. It would waste a lot of time and money if we had to pay for the labor. In this situation, I had the team rent a sprayer, and they were able to finish painting the whole house by the next day. The investment was a little more upfront to get the right tool, but the amount of hours it saved us as a company saved us hundreds of dollars.
