Words have the power to create

Son
The Bible says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. At the Tower of Babel the whole earth was of one language, and one speech. God confound the language, that they might not understand one another’s language and scattered them all over the earth. God spoke verbably with power to man, because it was his way of fellow communication, that I feel God totally enjoyed until the serpent also began to speak evil into the heart of Eve. As time progressed God began to speak to us thru His Word the Bible. He no longer verbally speaks audibly, but thru the reading of His Word, and in His will God shows us the truth. Power was spoken into my life, the day God saved my soul from a devil’s hell. One cannot have God’s power without salvation. I thank God for that day, and the days I’ve seen other souls saved. The words that hold power for me is reading, praying and expecting by faith to see God’s work at hand. Yes, questions lead to resolutions, but a lot of people are mis-lead by not asking questions that are out of character. But, anyway I leave you with this, John 14:27-30 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away and come again unto you. If ye loved me ye would rejoice, because i said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

I agree! Words are SO powerful.

They can build us up — and tear us down. I try SO hard to think before I open my mouth as it’s my goal to build people up and encourage them.

The Bible is FULL of great passages. Proverbs is probably my favorite. There are so many lessons to be learned in that book.

I appreciated you mentioning gratitude. I think we could all do a better job of remembering how very blessed we are.

Have a great day!

Words are certainly powerful, especially when they’re God’s Words. I think that we need to make a distinction between what happens when God talks and what happens when we talk. Of course God can create with his words because he is God and he is all powerful. On the other hand we can’t “create” with our words but we can influence, hurt, encourage, convince and so on. Those things are also very powerful but they are also very different than creating.

Rather than simply focusing on making my speech “positive”. I try to focus on making my words truthful and loving. Even if you look at the things Jesus said you will find that they weren’t always “positive”. He called people “white washed walls” and “tombs full of dead men’s bones”. His words, however were always truthful, honest and helpful.

Sometimes when a person focuses too much on being “positive” it results in a sacrifice of honesty. We need to be intentional about what we say because it influences how we think and how others think. We need to be honest and loving at the same time.
