Tag: What the Bible says about the power of words

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-24-19

James 3:2 (NKJV) 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Words. Tiny little, intangible things that can wield incredible power.

Indeed, they are potent. They have the power to tear down or to build up. How we use them is up to us.

We all have shortcomings. But our words can be the hardest one to rein in.

James said in the verse above that if we can rein in our words, we are perfect (mature).

That says a lot!

We may be able to fend off many other temptations, but still struggle with gaining and exercising control over our tongue, one of the smallest members of the human body.

So, how do we conquer this tiny little thing that causes us so much trouble?

We let God sanctify it by His word and guide it with the Holy Spirit!

God has given us every tool we need in order to live lives that are pleasing to Him, including taming our tongue.

And as we give ourselves over to Him, a little at a time, we will begin to see ourselves change and hear ourselves speaking fewer damaging words and more encouraging, uplifting words.

We can speak death, or we can speak life. Which will it be?

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-16

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Our ears pick up on things being said all throughout the day. We are in control over what conversations we want to get involved in. Knowing this in advance, we need to ask God to help us choose them carefully.

Words are powerful and we want to make sure that the things we say bring LIFE. That they are good, encouraging, uplifting and helpful.

How do we help change the atmosphere where there seems to be a lot of negative, destructive and gossipy talk?

We first rebuke satan and his attack against that place, or person where we hear it happening, in Jesus’ name.

If it’s our home, workplace, school, or even in our church, we then take charge over the atmosphere in those places for Jesus Christ. By simply saying, “I take charge over the atmosphere of this place for Jesus Christ, and no weapon formed against me or this place shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

We don’t let up even when we begin to see change. Because where there are people involved every day, there will be new emotions, new situations, and new attitudes occurring.

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in saying the right words when needed.

Our words and our actions can be very powerful, even when we think no one is listening or watching, because we are dealing with more than people. We are dealing with spiritual things that have been released into the atmosphere in these places.

God is faithful to help us and give us discerning hearts, sharp ears and words of wisdom.

Remember, a word can bring change. So don’t be afraid to speak up at times and defuse the enemy and his attack. Amen

2 Samuel 23:2 (NKJV) 2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.
