The Power Of Your Words To Create Good Or Bad

King Solomon perfectly illustrates it with the phrases below:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
Proverbs 18:21
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
Proverbs 13:3
But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
Why else did G-d give us the senses which many people keep abusing continually? Why do folks think God also provided us the Bible?
Words have power.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
Proverbs 15:4
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
I understand communication is multifaceted entity:
- Images have power.
- Colors have power.
- Symbols have power.
- Sounds have power.
- Touches have power.
- Vibrations have power.
- Consonance and patterns have power.
Considering the power of communication in it's varied forms, it's therefore very important to watch what we think, say, watch and see.
If we are going to produce life giving words, then we have to sow the right seeds. And sowing the right seeds starts with having good seeds.
We have to be careful about the things we read for example magazines, books, articles, blogs etc.
We have to be intentional about what we watch and listen to because all these ultimately affect what we will say.
I pray we are able to speak life, love, faith, hope into the lives of others. I pray we become builders and restorers.
