“Words!”

“I have heard many say that words can make you or break you..Amen..it’s funny how one word spoken can do incredible things in the life of someone..and as well it is funny at how one word can literally tear someone apart..from limb to limb so to speak..Amen..and this usually happens by them ones that are the closet and or the most dearest to our souls..Amen..for when people get hurt from a word spoken over them and their lives considering if them words spoken were not very good ones..than the person never really truly gets over it..Amen..they may forgive in which case I do pray that we all forgive those ones that has offended us or hurt us in our lives..because if not we will be a prisoner to them and them words for the rest of our lives..Amen..for you see God knew all too well about words for He Himself literally spoke everything into existence..Genesis 1:1-31..now that guys is pretty incredible to say the least..Amen!”

“But to go further I just want us all to be very careful with our words that we choose to speak out from our mouths..I pray we consider every single one that we are about to speak..before we ever just blurt them out..but that we truly think about them..and we consider how they will effect the person in whom we are speaking them too or the person in whom we are speaking about..Amen..and if they are not kind or too nice to say the least..then my whole heart and prayer to each of us is that we keep it to ourselves..Amen..that we give it to the Lord..whatever it may be..because the bible says that death and life are in the power of our tongues and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21..Amen..it goes on to saying that our tongues are the smallest members of our bodies but yet what great things it boast..it says that it is a world of iniquity..that it sets on fire the course of nature..and is set on fire from hell..it says that every animal and creature of the sea has been tamed..but the tongue can no man tame..it says that it is a unruly evil full of deadly poison..James 3:6-9..Amen!”

“But even more so than all of that..it says that we use our tongues to bless God with and as well we use our tongues to curse men with..it says out of the same mouth proceed blessings and cursing..it says to us brethren these things should not be..James 3:10..Amen..to me it is kinda of scary to think about it..to think literally how much growth it is that we need to do within ourselves if we are this way..because the Lord says to us it’s not the outside of the cup that defiles the person..but it is the inside..it’s what comes forth from the inside of that person that is what defiles them..Matthew 23:26/Mark 7:15/Luke 11:39..but in all honesty..I guess what I am really wanting to say here is that I hope we all try at least to do better and be better when it comes to our speech..when it comes to those things that we are saying..I pray we are the ones that speak life into this life in which we live..I pray we speak life over the lives of others..I pray we use our speech to lift up and encourage one another along the way in this beautiful thing that we all call life..that we are a blessing more so than a hurt..and that we truly do shine as bright as bright can be for our Lord and Savior..blessing His children other than cursing them or ever bringing shame, guilt or condemnation..Amen..being the best version of us that we can be..for once again everything we do matters and it matters greatly..and again everything we say matters and does matter greatly..so let us choose well them words we use..for once spoken they never can be forgotten..they only can be forgiven..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
