THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

Proverbs 18:21

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it

shall eat the fruit thereof.”

A few weeks ago, I observed that a couple things I said came to pass instantly.  I warned my daughter to be careful she didn’t drop something in her hand, and it fell.   I complained that it was too cold at my home and that we would get sick.  I got sick all weekend.  My husband, replied that if I wanted to get sick I could; but He and the children would not get sick. They did not. 

No wonder the Bible admonishes us to control our tongues.  What happened was neither coincidence nor incidence; but the unfolding of the above Bible truth, which warns that your words have power to build or destroy, so use them discreetly.

Always speak positive things over yourself and others, and be alert to the things that people pronounce against you.  When they do it, you must be quick to reverse it with your lips of authority.  Don’t let it settle in your spirit for a second.  Deal with it expeditiously because the seeds that you sow today, will be harvested tomorrow, bringing forth fruits of joy or sorrow.
