With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Proverbs 18:21 KJV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

1 Peter 3:10 KJV
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

James 3:6 KJV
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

I can go on quoting but the point is so many people are flippant with what they say. To accomplish the many things in my life Holy Spirit dealt with me about what comes out of my mouth. Jesus is the high priest of our confession but He can only agree with His word. The words we speak create the atmosphere of our lives. If we speak negatively we will have a negative outlook on things. This with a combination of what we feed on by hearing and seeing can change everything. Words are seeds. We see the very power of words in Genesis one.

John 6:63 KJV
It is the spirit that quickeneth ; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Jesus said that. When we speak the Word of God we speak life into our situations. Am I saying ignore what's happening? No I'm saying use the authority of the believer which is speaking the word of God and the name of Jesus instead of just speaking what you feel and then getting down in the dumps. God put the authority in your mouth. Jesus spoke to the storm and the fig tree. We need to speak the Word of God into our situations. We need to pray the Word of God for it's His promises.

Romans 10:8 KJV
But what saith it ? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is , the word of faith, which we preach ;

Psalms 119:172 KJV
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

God puts emphasis on what we say. He wants us to speak his Word. Faith comes by hearing and you hear what you say and have faith in it. Learn to surround yourself with God's Word and things that will build up your faith. Words are seeds. The words you speak are seeds into your future. Commit to the process to change what comes out of your mouth on a daily basis and you will see a change in your life.

Proverbs 12:18 KJV
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

Proverbs 15:4 KJV
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Proverbs 16:1 KJV
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD
