Proverbs 18:21, Death and life are in the power of the tongue..
Your tongue is a very small member of your body, but it has great significance. It has power over your life! The words you speak will advance you or hinder you. They tear down, or accomplish great things. Words wound; words heal. Words ensnare; words liberate you. Words destroy relationships, and words restore relationships. Words shape our destiny. Words may be the most powerful force on earth!
The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Tim 2:9, (and I paraphrase) I may be bound in chains; but the word of God is not chained! What does that say to you and I today? It doesn’t matter where you are in life or what has a hold on you…there is a liberating power and it is the Word of God! You may be bound by fear, insecurity, emotional pain, or rejection, but the Word of God is not bound. It is alive and powerful, according to Hebrews 4:12; powerful against your past, your mindset, your habits, and your enemy…Satan himself!
God has set before us life and death, and the ability to choose one or the other by the words of our mouth. Words activate the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus or the law of sin and death. As you speak words of life, God’s destiny for you will take shape. Choose your words carefully. Think before you speak. Speak God’s Word today and release victory everywhere you go!
