Cancel Save settings. Bestselling Series. Harry Potter. Books By Language. Books in Spanish. We should pay a lot of attention to what the Word of God has to teach us about the power of our words. We are partners with God in this life, and He wants us to be in agreement with what He has spoken about us in His Word.
As you read this book, I believe you will gain new insight into the fact that as you change your words, you can change your life. Everyone in her office loved her—from her bosses to the cleaning lady. She always had a kind word for everyone. One of her best assets was her amazing ability to help people feel good about themselves.
She could make someone whose feelings had been hurt feel like they were the best thing since sliced bread. She could make an insecure colleague feel like a genius. Not only that, but she was smart—very smart. In her five years on the job, she had received three promotions, and her employer had recently told her that she was on a fast track toward a management position.
If things continued the way they were going, she could even expect a vice-presidency within just a few years. One evening while working late on a project, she discovered that her boss had made a bad judgment call in a speech that he had written and asked her to edit.
He had included a foolish joke that some could find offensive. Therese picked up the phone to leave him a voice mail and tell him her thoughts. And he has no sense of humor. The next morning, chaos ensued. The push of a button had sealed her future at the company. In fact, a new word has entered our vocabulary: cyberbullying. Facebook is now sometimes used as a weapon. Never in the history of the world have words been so cheap, quick, irrevocable, and viral. Through cell phones and the Internet, we now have texting, e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
In addition, we have radio, television, and printed media. Words are flying around in the atmosphere like never before. As of June , Forty-one percent of all Americans actively maintain a profile page on Facebook, which generates one billion pieces of content every single day. Obviously, there are good uses of all these forms of communication; however, there are many disturbing consequences, including online bullying that has led to teenage suicide, identity theft, child safety risk, pornography addiction, and ruined careers.
Job applicants lose out because of Facebook accounts of bad behavior; workers send ill-advised e-mails before thinking. People have destroyed relationships by typing their most secret thoughts in e-mail and then pressing Send before realizing how revealing the message was. Owing to the information available today, personal privacy has all but vanished. Sadly, anyone can say anything about an individual—whether it is true or not—and it is out there floating around in cyberspace just waiting for someone to access the information.
What we say not only affects others, but also affects us. Words are wonderful when used in a proper way. They can encourage, edify, and give confidence to the hearer. A right word spoken at the right time can actually be life changing.
A man has joy in making an apt answer, and a word spoken at the right moment—how good it is! Proverbs We can literally increase our own joy by speaking right words. We can also upset ourselves by talking unnecessarily about our problems or things that have hurt us in relationships.
Not too long ago I had a disappointing situation take place with someone I considered to be a close friend and I noticed that each time I talked about it, I would have a difficult time getting it off my mind for the remainder of the day.
I finally realized that if I wanted to get over it, I was going to have to stop mentally and verbally going over it again and again. Our words can even oppress our spirit. God desires that our spirit be light and free so it can function properly, not heavy and oppressed.
When we understand the power of words and realize that we can choose what we think and speak, our lives can be transformed. Our words are not forced on us; they formulate in our thoughts and then we speak them.
We can learn to choose our thoughts, to resist wrong ones and think on good, healthy, and right ones. Where the mind goes, the man follows.
We could also say, where the mind goes, the mouth follows! The mere confession of good things is enough to cheer you up. According to scripture, God has given His children a new nature, and we are taught to daily renew our mind and attitude. Having a positive outlook on life and speaking positive words are two of the most wholesome things we can do. From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good.
Proverbs a A good man eats good from the fruit of his mouth. Proverbs So Choose Your Food Carefully Anyone who wants to be healthy is careful to choose quality food that will provide good nutrition. If we want to be healthy in our soul and spirit, we should also choose to take in words that will build us up and increase our peace and joy. As we have seen, we eat our words, and we can rightfully say that they are food for our souls. The world is filled with bad news.
Turn on any news station or buy any newspaper or news magazine and you will find it filled with reports of murder, theft, wars, famine, and all kinds of horribly tragic events.
I believe there are many good things happening in the world and probably there is more good than bad, but the evil is magnified in a way that often seems overwhelming. We can do it with our own words by what we choose to talk about. I recently walked into a room and heard a group of people talking about several businesses that had recently filed for bankruptcy. Then they mentioned two others that they had heard were going to file for bankruptcy. I am not suggesting at all that we deny reality, but we can choose what we want to talk about.
If we are not helping ourselves or anyone else by rehearsing all the bad things going on in the world, then why fill our conversation with it? I realize we are going to talk about conditions in the world to a certain degree.
We want to be well informed of what is going on. There is no wisdom in being ignorant and taken by surprise, but to talk about it excessively or with no purpose merely creates a gloomy atmosphere that nobody will enjoy. Thinking About What You Talk About We talk a lot and quite often pay no attention to what we are saying, let alone think seriously about the impact of our words. I want to encourage you to take some time and think about the types of things you usually talk about.
What kind of conversation do you enjoy and participate in? If we are honest with ourselves, we may find that some of our bad moods are directly linked to our conversation. Even some of our problems can be linked to bad choices we make about what we say. As we progress in this book, you will learn that words have so much power that they can actually create circumstances in our lives.
We believe more of what we say than we believe what anyone else says to us. This is very important, so I want to repeat it: You believe what you say more than you believe what others say to you.
And the Bible teaches us that we receive what we believe. The two cannot be separated. What we believe becomes our reality! It would be a wise exercise to take a little time at the end of each day and think about what we talked about that day. We all have challenges in life, but we can make them better or worse by the way we talk about them. What kind of conversation do you have around the lunch table at work?
While riding to work in the car pool? Chatting with friends at a social gathering? Why not decide each day before you even go out of the house that you are only going to talk about things that benefit you and everyone who hears you? I only want to teach you to be in agreement with God and learn to say what He says. God is in control, not us; however, we can cooperate with His will or hinder it by agreeing or disagreeing with His Word. One thing is for sure: Speaking negatively could hurt you, but speaking positively never will, so why not go with the positive and see what kind of results you get?
Seedtime and Harvest In the Bible we learn the principle of sowing and reaping. Beginning in Genesis, God teaches us that as long as the earth remains, there will be seedtime and harvest. We cannot see attitudes, thoughts, or words, but they are also seeds that operate in the spiritual unseen realm and they also produce a harvest based on what was planted.
If a person continually sows negative thoughts, attitudes, and words, he will produce many negative results in his life. Likewise, if he sows positive, life-filled thoughts, attitudes, and words, he will see good, positive results. Jesus said that His words were spirit and life see John As I have already said, our words affect us as well as the hearer.
They touch our soul and spirit and can produce a harvest in our physical body. For example, if someone said something very hateful and mean to me, it would affect my emotions and mind, which could in turn cause sadness to appear on my countenance. Likewise, if someone says something uplifting and encouraging to me, it affects my mind and emotions in a positive way, putting a smile on my face, and often I can feel a flow of extra energy coursing through my body. We are energized by positive words and weakened by negative ones.
Words can make us angry or they can calm us down; therefore, they must have power. A speaker was talking about the power of positive thinking and the power of words. The speaker raised his hand. Please accept my most sincere apologies.
Some people in the hall murmured; others shuffled their feet. The speaker resumed. A few words made you very angry. The other words calmed you down. Now do you understand the power of words? So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. When He speaks it, or we speak it as His children, we will see a result based on the type of seed we have sown.
Once we truly understand this principle and act accordingly, we can change our words and therefore we can change our lives. Never underestimate the power of your words. According to the Bible, it is impossible, so why even try? I lean and rely on God every day to help me control my mouth and what comes out of it. The psalmist David prayed a lot about his words. He made decisions not to sin with his tongue, but he also relied on God for strength to follow through.
We can see from these scriptures that David was exercising his free will and being determined not to sin with his tongue, but at the same time He leaned on God to bring it to pass. We can have right desires, and when we do, it pleases God and He goes to work on our behalf helping us follow through with right actions.
I suggest that you study the Word of God in this area. I also suggest that you begin to pray specifically about these areas, asking God daily to help you.
When you recognize that you have sinned with your mouth, take it seriously and be quick to repent. When I first heard teaching about the problems that can be caused by not taming the tongue, I was convicted of sin, and determined to change. I went home from the church service where I heard the teaching and had a plan to keep my mouth shut and just not talk. Godly communication is a beautiful thing, and words used properly do a lot of good.
I had a plan to go home and try to do better, but I had left God entirely out of the equation. Anytime we think we are going to do anything apart from Him, we are a failure waiting to happen. Never make your own plan and expect God to bless it. I know that I have not bridled my tongue and that I have caused a great deal of trouble by not doing so.
Please forgive me, Father, and help me change. Show me what to do and help me do it so my mouth can be a blessing and not a problem. One of the things we should pray about each day is asking God to help us speak right things. We should desire to be a mouthpiece for God, speaking His Word faithfully.
If we are not careful and prayerful, we can unwittingly become a voice for Satan, allowing him to speak things through us that bring harm and hurt to many people.
A Tiny Spark Can Start a Raging Fire Margaret loved to play the piano, and there was nothing her husband, Richard, enjoyed more than settling into his easy chair and listening to his wife play. Once or twice a week after dinner, Margaret would sit down at the piano and play. When Richard developed serious heart problems, he was forced to retire, and Margaret became the sole breadwinner for the family. Margaret never got the chance to do that. She came home from work a few weeks later and found Richard lying on the basement floor.
What a sad story and vivid example of the wildfire that just a few words can ignite. But it is too late. How she wishes she had tamed her tongue while she had the chance.
An ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure. Nine verses of scripture found in James —10 are a powerful foundation for learning how to tame the tongue. For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.
James If it takes a perfect mouth to make a perfect man, I am sure that none of us will fully accomplish it while we are here on earth. It is our job to press toward the mark of perfection, and yet the Bible teaches us that we will not attain perfection until Jesus, the Perfect One, comes to take us to live with Him for eternity see I Corinthians — We can grow, we can change, and we can do better and better. But if we obtained perfection in our behavior, we would no longer need Jesus—and that is never going to happen.
We can have perfect hearts toward God by fully wanting His will and doing all that we can to work with the Holy Spirit toward that goal. God sees our heart, and I believe He counts us as perfect even while we are making the journey toward perfection. I am very grateful that God sees our hearts and not merely our performance. Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the helmsman determines.
It is a little thing compared to a horse, which could weigh as much as 3, pounds. Although it is unusual, one horse actually weighed that much, and was controlled by a tiny piece of metal. The next example is a mighty ship. Some ships are ocean liners and can be city blocks in length, yet they are steered by a rudder that is very small in comparison to the huge ship. The message to us is that our tongues and the words that roll over them are powerful enough to give direction to our entire lives.
A great deal of how our lives have turned out so far is a result of our words in the past or words that were spoken to us. Even so the tongue is a little member, and it can boast of great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set ablaze! And the tongue is a fire.
James —6 A few words spoken may not seem like a big thing, but the Bible compares them to sparks that start huge forest fires. We have heard reports of millions of acres of forest destroyed owing to someone throwing a lit cigarette on the ground. Such a little thing, but it caused terrible destruction. Do our words really have that much power? According to these verses, the tongue is very wicked and depraved if it is not controlled by God.
It is set in the midst of our members our body and actually has the power to contaminate the whole body and set things in motion that bring devastating results. It can be used by Hell itself to bring about things that only Satan would desire. Thankfully, there is another side to this story. It can be used for many good things, and even the bad things it has been used for in the past can be turned around for good.
We can always overcome evil with good see Romans Get started right away speaking good things and you will start seeing change. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea animal, can be tamed and has been tamed by human genius nature. But the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless undisciplined, irreconcilable evil, full of deadly poison.
Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so. James —10 I have seen television programs showing how men have trained animals to do amazing things, and they always intrigue me.
It is amazing that we can train a wild and dangerous animal to jump through hoops of fire, and yet we cannot tame a tiny thing like the tongue.
However, as I said earlier, all things are possible with God, and when we get serious about taming the tongue, God will get serious about helping us. We may go to church and sing songs of praise to God, and then go to lunch and slander the very people we sat in church with. I can remember doing this myself, and I am sure I am not the only one. But now that I do know and you know, we are responsible to work with the Holy Spirit toward positive change. Not many [of you] should become teachers selfconstituted censors and reprovers of others , my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation].
James This verse precedes all the others we have discussed about the mouth in James 3. There are many types of teachers in the world. Bible teachers, Sunday school teachers, grammar and high school teachers, college professors, and parents are teachers. We all expect those that are teaching us to do the same thing they teach us to do.
God taught me this lesson in a very strong way several years ago. I finally set myself to seriously seek God about the situation, but after three days, I still had no answer. I was talking to Dave about it, and he said that he felt God had showed him what was wrong. Well, I am sure you know that I was not pleased that he thought he knew what was wrong with me, and I immediately became defensive.
When I finally realized what I had done, I was extremely sorry and felt I had learned a good lesson. Not only was I doing what I was teaching others not to do as far as speaking words of criticism, but I was speaking against another person called by God to preach the Gospel—and that made it even worse.
Teachers beware! Please receive this as a word of caution. If you are going to teach others, you must meet a higher standard than those who are not teachers. We will be judged by a stricter standard and with greater severity.
This does not relieve others of their responsibility, but it does place a double responsibility on those of us who teach because of our position of leadership. This has helped me realize how thrilled God must be when we finally start saying what He says. However, Brethren, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [unable to talk yet!
We know that they could talk, so what did Paul mean? If we want to walk with God, we must agree with God. If my husband and I are trying to take a walk together and I am pulling in one direction while he pulls in another, we will be frustrated and not make much progress.
Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed? Amos Many people walk together every morning or every evening at a set time. They have made an appointment and agreed to walk together.
God has a very good plan for each one of us, but we will never enjoy it unless we learn how to say what He says about everything. Yet many believers say the opposite about their life of what God says in His Word. For example, many people say they feel guilty or they feel unloved, yet God says that He loves us everlastingly and unconditionally. Jesus is the High Priest of our confession see Hebrews Our confession is merely what we say, and Jesus works accordingly.
If I told one of my children that I was going to give them a wonderful party for their birthday this year, I would expect them to be saying the same thing that I said. The power of agreement is amazing. When we agree with other people, it increases our power tenfold, so just imagine what happens when we agree with God. God wants His Word to become part of us, and He wants us to guide our lives according to it.
His Word is truth, and it is filled with wisdom. It is full of life and power. David begins this Psalm by saying that we are blessed if we order our conduct and conversation in the law of the Lord. He is literally saying we need to do what God does and say what He says. Dorothy, an eighty-nine-year-old woman, lives in a nursing home in upstate Vermont. Diabetes and arthritis have robbed her of both her vision and her ability to walk. When her niece Irene came to visit her from out of state, she expected to find her aunt depressed and distressed.
But instead, her Aunt Dorothy greeted her warmly and settled in for a wonderful visit from her favorite niece. They spent hours chatting and laughing, and finally, Irene could no longer suppress her curiosity. How do you keep such a sunny disposition? In fact, I memorized much of the Bible simply through years of study. Now whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, I speak and sing scripture and hymns of praise.
With my lips have I declared and recounted all the ordinances of Your mouth. Psalm We cannot say what God says unless we know what He has said, and that is why we must study the Word of God diligently.
In order to know God and what to expect from Him, we must know His Word—because they are one. It is not possible for God to say one thing and do another. He cannot lie and is always faithful to perform what He has promised. Satan is a liar and seeks to deceive us through his lies. The only way we can recognize his lies is to know the truth. I have learned how to speak in agreement with God, and I am enjoying the fulfilled promises of God.
It is our choice and only we can make it. Is it time for you to make an appointment with God and begin to agree with Him? Many people are stuck in their past. If they have done something bad or something bad has happened to them, they believe that they can never get beyond it. We can recover from a bad thing in our past, and God will even work good out of it. God is a Redeemer, and that means He purchases sin and other bad things in our lives with the blood of Christ and turns them into something beautiful.
Just like many of you, I have a past filled with sin and pain from being abused and rejected. I was totally convinced that I would always have an inferior life because of my past. It is too late. I have ruined my life.
We release it by taking God-inspired action, by praying or by saying what God says. Recently I was teaching at a conference, and I felt led by the Holy Spirit to ask how many people felt they were stuck in their past. I was surprised when about 75 percent of the attendees lifted their hands. I shared what God says about our past and challenged them to make a decision to agree with God. Our eyes are at the front of us, so we can always look forward.
His Word is the highest authority on earth. It is a mighty sword He has given us, but we must wield it. We must speak it and believe it, meditate on it, and act upon it. It is time to live deeper than the soul mind, will, and emotions. It is time to believe we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ and that we can reign as kings in life through righteousness see Romans , The God Kind of Righteousness There are two kinds of righteousness. The first kind is righteousness through right behavior, and that is the one we are most familiar with.
We struggle throughout life trying to do what is expected, and what society tells us is right. If we have any faith in God, we also struggle trying to please Him by obeying all of His commands. Most of us never feel that we succeed or measure up to the standard that has been set. We compare ourselves with other people that we feel are better than us and we try to be like them, but that never works either and once again we feel all wrong.
The feeling of being wrong leads to feelings of guilt and condemnation, both of which press us down in life and cause us to live far below our rights and privileges as a child of God. I say that it is like trying to get into a chair we are already sitting in. It is His gift to us at the time we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior. It comes by grace through faith.
And since it is a free gift, it cannot be earned, deserved, or paid for by us. The gift of righteousness that God gives His children has already been paid for by the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus. God takes our sin and gives us His very own righteousness, and by an act of His love and mercy, He views us as being in right standing with Him through our faith.
For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]. God takes our sins, puts them on Jesus, and gives us His righteousness.
Someone had to pay for sin, and we could not. So God sent His only Son, Jesus, to do the job. He became our substitute. Are you willing to say what God says? Will you come into agreement with Him? I do everything wrong. God sees me as right, and I have right relationship with Him through Christ. At one point in his ministry, Whitefield received a vicious letter accusing him of wrongdoing. As for what you and my other enemies are saying against me, I know worse things about myself than you will ever say about me.
With love in Christ, George Whitefield. He was much more concerned about pleasing the Lord. However, eventually the truth swallowed up the lies of Satan I had believed previously, and I no longer walk around with the constant companion of guilt.
The burden has lifted and I am free! He does it in a loving but firm way that will lift you out of sinful behavior. He never expects us to do anything unless He gives us the ability to do it first, so He gives us righteousness. He plants it as a seed in our spirit and then takes what He has planted in us and works it out through us, and it eventually becomes right behavior as the result of the righteousness of God we received as a gift from Him.
But based on the God kind of righteousness, we try to do what is right because He has already approved of us and loves us unconditionally. We are working out of His love, rather than to get His love.
Keep saying what God says. Change your words, and you can change your life! Exceedingly, Abundantly Above and Beyond What should we expect in life? Should we expect barely enough and lack? Or should we expect God to keep His Word and supply all of our needs according to His riches in Christ? The Lord is my Shepherd to feed, guide and shield me , I shall not lack. God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that we could ever dare to hope, ask or think. Ephesians b We often experience great fear in our life, thinking that our needs might not be met.
Yet God has promised to provide for us if we will simply bring our offerings to Him as an act of faith. We take some of our money or other resources and give them, and when we do, God sees them as seed. On February 13, , I wrote this in my journal, and I recently came across it: I have had the word providence on my mind lately. He sees needs and wants ahead of time and makes provision to supply them.
There is never a moment in our life when God is not taking care of us. God desires that we trust Him to take care of us moment by moment. He has His eye on us at all times and never for one second leaves us alone. He knows what we need even before we ask. And God is able to make all grace every favor and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be selfsufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
Read them over and over until you have squeezed out every drop of revelation they offer. God will abundantly supply all of our needs if we will simply give to Him as an act of faith.
Remember, faith must be released! God does not need our money, but He asks for it as a way of testing and growing our trust in Him. If a person is so poor that she has absolutely no money to give, then she can give her desire to give, or she can give time or prayer for others.
We can always find a way to give if we have a giving heart. When we give, do we always get immediate results? When a farmer plants his seed in the ground, does he immediately get a harvest, or does he have to water his seed and wait? We know that he waits, and we will also have to wait. The waiting time is the testing and growing time. But if we are not weary in well doing, we shall reap see Galatians I know that God wants each of us to trust Him for provision. He does not want us to worry or be in fear.
There are those who [generously] scatter abroad, and yet increase more; there are those who withhold more than is fitting or what is justly due, but it results only in want.
The liberal person shall be enriched, and he who waters shall himself be watered. Proverbs —25 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him. Proverbs But seek aim at and strive after first of all His kingdom and His righteousness His way of doing and being right , and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. Matthew God promises to meet all of our needs. He may not give us everything we want when we want it, but He will be faithful to provide.
God always does His part if we will do our part, and doing our part includes saying what God says. God never does barely enough; He always does more than enough. He put an abundance of fish in the sea when He created it. He caused the people of Israel to abundantly increase in number while they were held in captivity in Egypt.
God is abundant in mercy. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond all we ever dare to hope, ask or think. We make Him too small in our eyes and expect much less than He desires to give. Give as God has asked you to, and then water your seed by saying what He says about your provision.
Make your appointment and agree with God, and your life will improve dramatically. First, there is the unregenerate person, the natural, nonspiritual individual who has not accepted or welcomed the things of God into his or her heart.
Even newborn babies, animals and insects have this wish. It has been our main wish since beginningless time and it is with us all the time, even during our sleep. We spend our whole life working hard to fulfil this wish. Since this world evolved, human beings have spent almost all their time and energy improving external conditions in their search for happiness and a solution to their problems.
What has been the result? Instead of their wishes being fulfilled, human suffering and problems have continued to increase while the experience of happiness and peace is decreasing. This clearly shows that until now we have not found a correct method for reducing our problems and increasing happiness. The actual correct method for doing this is changing our attitude from negative to positive. We must understand this through our own experience.
If we check carefully how we are experiencing problems and unhappiness, we can understand that they are all created by our uncontrolled desire, wishing ourself to be happy all the time.
By stopping this wish and instead wishing for others to be happy all the time, we will not have any problems or unhappiness at all.
