The Power of your word

 

 

 

  • Words have Power

 

 

 

Proverbs 18:20-21

“From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

 

 

 

 

Proverbs 12:25

“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.”

 

 

 

Proverbs 15:4

“The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life.”

 

 

 

Proverbs 15:23 

“A man finds joy in giving an apt reply—and how good is a timely word!”

 

 

 

 

Proverbs 16:24

“Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”

 

 

 

 

James 3:3-10

3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.

Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.

5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
