Watch Your Words

Language is what causes a response or call to action, but words create reality. Words are powerful. It was the Word of God that framed the world. It was the words of Adam that named every living creature. It was the words of the serpent that compelled Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden. Words are dreams and visions taking shape and form. What you speak, you will do. What you perceive, you will believe. The Bible says, “The power of life or death are in the tongue (your words). (Proverbs 18:21)
Words can also influence our perception, which causes us to act incorrectly. Some people are on lockdown from words that were spoken to them as a child. Where an undiscerning parent wielded words at them and told them they’d never amount to anything. Many have believed those lies. Those words became stuck in their mind and were never removed, which made it hard for them to believe in their own destiny.
That is why it is important that you stop receiving the negative words that enter into your thoughts. If you don’t block them, a message will appear on the screen of your mind, reminding you of the former words that were spoken against you. If you don’t press the delete button and refuse the updates, yesterday’s offence will enter into your today, preventing you from settling the issue. Know when to let a thought, sail on by.
Most importantly, don’t speak them and give them air to live and breathe.
