Power Of The Tongue

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.PROVERBS 18:21 NASB

Sometimes I wish that the product of our mouths actually manifested. Instant biofeedback. A physical and plain way to tell our effect on others that cannot be spun into platitudes of minimizing importance.

What we say matters, things are loosed or bound in heaven by our words. James talks a lot about the power of the tongue, using word pictures just so there isn't any confusion about the meaning.

The world was created with a word.  The Holy Spirit is the CONTENTS of the Breath of God... and when we use this borrowed breath to speak there is power in it.  Borrowed power.

So the question is, what will you do with the words you have inside you?  What will you do with the borrowed power that's been lent to you?

Will you use your power for good?
