Good morning! How are we faithing? The power in words cannot be denied. You say something aloud and you cannot take it back, it's already out there. You say things that bless and they do. You say things that curse and they do. There is tons of scripture that deals with the spoken word. We must be fully aware of what we speak into being. All over scripture the spoken word casts out demons, heals the sick, gives sight to the blind etc. How? Only God knows. Why? No answer there either. Fact is, words have power to heal and to slice and dice. Words can encourage and not just platitudes but real encouragement . Words can express love, hate, interest, compassion and on and on. With this knowledge we need to be real aware of even flip comments so we do not cause undue pain or stress. Think today before you speak. Ask yourself some questions like, who will this comment benefit? Is this comment at the expense of another? Will others see truth or lies in my words? Check these;
John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
NAS
Genesis 1:1-5
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
NAS
See those? Spoken word brought everything into being. That my friends opens up responsibility in words so think...
