Harnessing the Power of Words for Blessings ๐ฃ๏ธ๐๐พ
I trust this message finds you well and ready to embrace the new month of October with faith and purpose. This month, let's embark on a journey to control our tongues and recognize the immense power of our words. Words have the power to build up or tear down, to bless or curse. Join me in exploring the wisdom of God's Word on this important topic.
Here are some scriptures to guide us in harnessing the power of our words:
1. Proverbs 18:21:ย "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Our words can bring life and blessings or lead to destruction.
2. Proverbs 15:1:ย ย "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Choose words that promote peace and understanding.
3. James 3:5:ย "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." Be mindful of the potential impact of even the smallest words.
4. Ephesians 4:29:ย "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Use your words to edify and encourage others.
5. Colossians 4:6:ย "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Approach conversations with grace and wisdom.
6. Matthew 12:36-37:ย "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." Be mindful of the words you speak, for they carry great weight.
