YES - your words really have the power to change things!
"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruitâ (Proverbs 18:21, NIV)
Jesus said, âThe words you say will either acquit you or condemn youâ (Matthew 12:37).
Your words can and will direct your life, whether you are speaking LIFE words that are: positive, encouraging, life-giving, helpful, favorable, hopeful...
or if you are speaking DEATH and negative words that are: cynical, defeatist, hopeless, harmful, unfavorable, pessimistic, hateful.
You will have what you say, and your life will follow that path.
Here is what the scriptures say:
-- âSet a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lipsâ (Psalm 141:3, NIV)
-- âThe words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healingâ (Proverbs 12:18, NIV)
-- âThe heart of the godly thinks carefully before speakingâ (Proverbs 15:28)
-- âGracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bonesâ (Proverbs 16:24, NIV)
-- âThe words you say will either acquit you or condemn youâ (Matthew 12:37)
-- âItâs not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouthâ (Matthew 15:11)
Let's work on getting things in our life in order, starting by getting our words in line with the Word of God.
Speak only what you want to see! And then, watch the words of your mouth, change your life circumstances. AMEN
