I was reading in proverbs and what God was really showing me was how much power there is in my words or a word in general.
So we always hear about how what we say can speak life or speak death.......sounds harsh but I believe this is taken too lightly on a very regular basis. Even more so in how people joke or what’s become "normal" in how we speak to each other,
The word of God is so refreshing all the time; it never brings shame, guilt, or condemnation. His words are always up lifting, even in its correction. My life is to modal the word of God, not only at a Wednesday night or Sunday morning, not when I am talking to my pastor or my life group leader, but always! When you’re in your group of friends, what is your speech like? With co workers or schoolmates what’s coming out of your mouth? What you say actually shapes who you are; Joking or not what you say reflects your heart condition. The mouth is a mirror to the heart.......OUCH!
On another note maybe people are or have spoken words over you that have shaped or affected you in a negative way. Maybe it’s not just what they say but how they say it. No matter who has said what, remember the word of God trumps ALL other words...not some but all! So no matter what your friends have said...TRUMP! The word of God is true. No matter what your parents have said or think........TRUMP! The word of God is faithful. No matter what your spouse has said.....TRUMP TRUMP TRRUUUMP!!! The word of God is satisfying! NO matter what ANYONE has said about you, the word of God TRUMPS! His word NEVER FAILS! All the promises of the book are yours!
Maybe, you have messed up or you feel like a failure or the devil tries to bring condemnation on you. Maybe you feel stuck in depression, fear, insecurity, pride, or you feel completely broken and lost, the word of God says that one word from Him can mend, fix, and restore a broken spirit. He can heal all things, deliver from all things.
So as a Christian who has a relationship with God I'm going to make it my goal, to speak life, beauty and value on a daily basis, on an encounter to encounter basis. "A gentle tongue is the tree of life" Proverbs 15:4
So I challenge you, to reevaluate where your heart is and what you need freed from and allow the word of God to move you where you need to go. Trust in His words. Trust in His heart for you, and allow Him to meet you and speak over your life
you have no idea how much this has spoken to me. Have been going to some difficult stuff. Have a great evening and a great day tomorrow.
