The Power of the Tongue

It is also through our SPEAKING that we create our own world. Even quantum physics has proven the power of words on the world around us. Plants respond to words. Animals and even our body responds to BLESSINGS or cursings.

Out of our mouth proceed blessings or curses. They give life or they take away life. Eph 4:29 says: “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”

When Adam ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he empowered evil in his life and in his mouth. By losing his connection with the Creator of life, he made connection with lies and with death.

However, even though born again, our tongue is NOT YET TAMED into the new creature, the same with our mind. That’s why I didn’t need to renew our mind…Mt 12:34b says: “ Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

James says, “our tongue is an unruly member” (Jam 3:8). People who constantly curse their situation and circumstances and people around them end up living a cursed life.

James says that our words are the actual rudder of our destiny. So there is a lot of power in our words, the power of life or death.

There are only a few times in the Bible where Jesus actually “marveled”. One of these times is when a centurion who felt unworthy for Jesus to come into his house and heal his servant, said, “Just SPEAK the WORD only”  (Mt 8:8-13.)  Jesus was so amazed that even a man of the world had understood the concept of authority through the SPOKEN WORD.

It is our word spoken to different situations that actually has the authority to change things.

That’s also how you empower your negative thoughts, by saying your unbelief. Jesus said, “Take no thought ‘SAYING’” (Mat 6:25). You actually empower what you think by saying it. Your mouth spits out seeds of life or of death. And your mind becomes the ground for seeds. It goes with everything you take in; TV, news, conversations, books, etc. The MORE the reason to read the Word of God whose seed is powerful and incorruptible.
