Watch What You Say!

Our tongue is one of the most evil devices ever created.
With it we can cause tremendous damage, not only to others, but to ourselves too.
You might ask, “Is what I say really such a great deal?
Yes, it makes a world of difference.
The Bible even states that life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)
You see, we have to understand how this works. Day in and day out we are bombarded with bad news from the world around us. Even though we are not aware of it, this produces negative thinking in our minds.
These thoughts come to our mind automatically, we cannot help thinking them.
But we can choose to receive them or not. At this point we can still analyze the information and decide if we accept it or not.
Now, you cannot drive bad thoughts out of your brain by forcing yourself to think good thoughts. It won’t work.
And this is where the tongue comes in.
The only way you can either drive out bad thoughts or accept them is by using your tongue.
A person who is facing a challenging situation could start vocalizing his fears. In this case, he or she will be talking death. The battle is already lost even before it started, because the tongue has programmed this person for failure. He or she has chosen to accept those thoughts and gave birth to them the moment he or she confessed them with their tongue.
The good news is that, just as the tongue is powerful to kill and destroy, it is also powerful to edify and succeed. As a matter of fact, that is what it was designed for in the first place!
God, our Creator, gave us this powerful tool to set our faith in motion. Faith is believing without seeing. So, if you encounter a challenging situation in life, you talk God´s promises over that thing instead of confessing your fears and negative thoughts.
By doing this, you will have set this most powerful mechanism in motion and the outcome of your endeavors will be of victory, not defeat.
Oh, and remember…
“Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.”(Psalms 34:13)

Go For It!
Have a great week!
