I read the quote, "Fear is contagious.you can catch it.Sometimes all it takes
is someone to say they're scared for the fear to become real."
So at the moment I'M NOT SCARED. There-I said the words and they work!Words a
powerful.They make things happen.
Gods WORD is the ultimate power. Since we are made in His image we have each been given the gift of words but we
don't realise the power.We can take words for granted and misuse them out of our own hurt but words are powerful to us and
we need to try to be careful how we use them. Similar to Lord of the Rings, the power of the ring could be used for good or evil.
We often use harsh words against others but forget the consequences. I can remember certain things being said by my a school teacher
or passing stranger that have negatively shaped how I still feel toward myself today.
We need GOD, the Word Giver to guide what we say. After all, everything became real and into creation when God gave the word!
Even if we think, 'I'm afraid' it can negatively affect us but to say the words, affirm it into reality and makes it so.Whatever we speak
we are creating, sometimes another's feelings or our own. But God's WOrd origionally spoke creation into existance for GOOD.
Fortunately we can be guided into pausing before blurting out anything rash what can later be regretted but not taken back.
PROVERBS !!:!2, 'It is foolish to belitttle a neighbour-a person with good sense
remains silent." PROVERBS 16;24, kind words are like honey-sweet to the soul and healthy for the body."
Talking other people down and complaining seems to have become a comfortable pass time for me and I slip up all the time. Thankfully, God's Words
are reliable and built into our hearts.Some words may last a lifetime but God's Words are timeless. Heaven and earth shall pass
away but never GODS WORD.
Amen
