LIFE FILLED WORDS

Proverbs 18:21 The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

Do you ever stand in a queue and overhear conversations when the people are constantly moaning and complaining to each other about everything? You come away feeling all disgruntled because you couldn’t help hearing it. Words do affect us!

We may want to pour out all our complaints and moans too, but let’s zip it up because it only makes us feel worse and instead remind ourselves we have the most powerful force in the universe on our side. We have our loving Heavenly Father pouring His love and favour out on us wherever we go. I want to speak that out over my life and family, don’t you?😊

Our words carry far more power than we realise and we can turn the tide in our circumstances to a great extent by our own faith filled words. When we declare good things, living words of what God says from scripture, we’re releasing the power of God into our lives and the enemy has to flee. 

It’s amazing to think God has given us such a powerful weapon when He tells us death and life are in the power of the tongue!(Proverbs 18:21) We really need to believe what He says and watch what we say!

God says we’re actually releasing the bad things by speaking negatively over ourselves, or even over others. But praise God we can declare the blessings of God and invite everything good God has prepared for us instead.😊

The world tells us ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.’ That is a lie of the enemy and goes directly against what God has said! So who are we going to believe?

God is reminding us all to speak words of life, words of encouragement, of healing and wholesomeness over ourselves and everyone we meet this week. We can speak lovely words that will uplift and not knock down, speak words of hope and faith that remind us that our God reigns and He is carefully watching over our lives to bless us.

So when we’re tempted to be negative let’s just stop a minute and remember God is always pleased when He hears words of faith coming out of our mouths and choose life instead. 

Have a blessed, ‘life filled’ week.😊
