Proverbs 18:21 KJV

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Our words can affect us  in a positive or negative way.  

~Something for us the think about~

Are we speaking negative or positive?  Blessings or cursing? Good or evil? Gossip or The Gospel? Hope or Defeat? Encouragement or discouragement? 

Start speaking all is well, no matter what it looks like! Speak positive in a negative situation.  God does the impossible  when we trust and have faith in him.  

~The Power Of The Tongue~

Speak peace in the midst of trouble. Speak love, in the midst of hate. Speak kindness in the midst of rudeness.  

The words we speak can either help us or hinder us.  

We should speak the truth in love and not in a harsh way! Jesus spoke the truth with authority in love.  

Proverbs 15:1

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Speak  positive words…The Word of God in a negative situation!  

1) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  

( Philippians 4:13)

2) Nothing is impossible with God. 

(Matthew 19 26)

3) No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper.  (Isaiah 54:17)

4) We Walk By Faith and not by sight.  (2 Corinthians 5:7)

5.)Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ( Romans 8:37)

6.)For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

Thank God for his word and holy spirit, who helps us. We are not perfect. Therefore, we need his help daily.  

There are consequences from the words we speak.  

Jesus says in Matthew 12:36

“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”

Prayer: Lord, forgive us for  our sins, cleanse our hearts, and  let us be more like you in all we do and say. Lord, we humbly ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen 

Be Encouraged!!

All Glory Goes To God!
