KILL OR HEAL

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.  James 1:26 NIV

We all stumble in many ways.  If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.  James 3:2 NIV

The tongue has the power of life and death…. Proverbs 18:21 NIV

One of the biggest lies ever perpetuated by hell is, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me”.  In reality it should read,

·        “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will kill or heal”. 

Words are the “power” spoken of in this Proverbs verse.  We simply must consider what we are going to say before we open our mouths.  We think in words and

·        “We won’t speak it if we don’t think it”.

Jesus told us more than once to “speak to the mountain and it would be removed”. Remember this,

·        “If you speak to the mountain, it gets smaller”.  But, “if you speak about the mountain, it gets bigger”.

Father God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, help us to fill our minds with You, Your Words and Your Ways.  Help us to think and speak healing words rather than killing words, and help us to speak to the mountain rather than about the mountain.  In the name of Jesus, the living Word of God we ask it, Amen and so be it.  Amen and so be it.
