Do a quick search @ Biblegateway.com and type in "words".
=======================
You will quickly find that thousands of examples pop up from the Bible using "words" in some form or fashion.
Our words have power. They have power for the negative and power for the positive. There is no middle ground when it comes to the power our words have over our lives and the lives of others.
I had an email conversation with a dear Sister today about words and how powerful they truly are to our spiritual lives. What we speak out - in the negative or the positive - will affect our lives.
Should we speak out positive about our lives, our families, our Jesus, our Church etc . . . we aren't giving our Enemy any ammunition to use against us in those areas of our lives.
Likewise, if we begin to speak out negatives about those areas, we are giving Satan and his demons legal rights to harass and attack us and our lives.
"Legal rights? What does that mean?"
================================
It simply means that you have given the lion who seeks to devour, steal, kill and destroy every right under heaven and earth to come against you. He has this right because you have forgotten who you belong to!
You have forgotten that (if you are in fact a Child of the King) you are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Creator of All! You have forgotten that you have been grafted into a very special Vine; adopted to a splendid new Family.
So, mark your words. Measure them carefully. Speak them with a pause. Be slow to speak because this is one of the ways the Lord has given you to test the spirits and not make mistakes.
With the everlasting love of Christ,
Marilyn
