You can walk by a well-kept garden, and tell EXACTLY which
seeds were planted by what is blooming there.
You can also tell the ugly weeds that just drifted in, which, if allowed
to grow long enough, will choke out the beauty of the well-kept garden. Yes, words that we spoke yesterday make life what
it is today!!! Mark 11.23 says
“He shall have those things that he sayeth.”
The things you say are words. In
face you could paraphrase it that you will possess the things you speak.
Words, words, words.
Researchers’ estimates of how many words we speak per day range from
50,000 to 2,500, with the average estimate being approximately 15,000 words per
day.
The Bible tells us that in Matthew 12.36-37 tells us that we
will give account of every idle or useless word we speak, and that by our words
we shall be justified (shown innocent), or by our words we shall be condemned
(pronounced guilty).
Words
kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. (Proverbs 18.21 Message) Words can make or break us, heal us or make
us sick. They can break others to pieces
(Job 19.2). They have creative power
(Romans 4.17 - Abraham was first named
“father” and then became a father
because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to
life, with a word make something out of nothing.)
Words make an atmosphere. They bless or heal, they empower, they cut
down and curse. A soft word can turn
away wrath, and grievous words can agitate anger (Proverbs 15.1).
Words can be wood to a fire or
even a destroying fire (Proverbs 26.20, 16.27, James 3.5-6). Proverbs 18.21
says, Words kill, words give life;
they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.
Choose your words carefully! You are building or tearing
down with them!
