Episode 372 - Show Notes:
- Dynamite is quite small, but it has explosive power. The same is true with our words. You carry around with you, all day long, the power of life and death.
- You and I can speak words of life or words of death. We can speak words that build up or words that tear down. We carry this power with us every day.
- I believe my words indicate how healthy or unhealthy I am spiritually. If you go to the doctor for physical, one of the things he/she will do is ask you to stick out your tongue. Because the tongue is an indicator. The nurse will put a thermometer under your tongue – it is a barometer of your physical health. The scripture teaches us the same thing is true spiritually.
- Our words are directly connected to our thoughts. We must be very cautious about negative and critical thoughts. They will become our words.
- Let’s ask God to speak to our hearts. Ask him to give you wisdom with your words so that you will use them to bless, inspire, encourage, and to uplift others.
Proverbs 18:21 - “The tongue has the power of life and death.”
Philippians 4:8 - “…whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Ephesians 4:29 - “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
