POWERFUL WORDS

Our words are a powerful force. We can use them to encourage, destroy, help, heal, etc. 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 

What are you saying to others? Are you using your words to build up others or are you destroying their character? Are you gossiping and spreading rumors or are you talking about the good qualities or personality they possess? We should be careful to use our words in a good way and not in a wicked or evil manner. 

God spoke the world into existence. 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. Hebrews 11:3

Not only do our words have the power to affect others, they have the power to create our world. "I'm broke". "I'll never get out of this place." I hate my car." "I hate my job." When you put such negative words into the atmosphere, don't be shocked to find yourself in the red, in the same place you've always been, with a car that has mechanical issues, and losing your job. I use these as examples because using your words in such a way can create these realities in your life. 

Instead of speaking negative words, use positive ones. Speak your reality. Say what you want to happen in your life instead of what you do not want to happen. Speak it and expect it.

Be blessed.
