What are you talking about?

When you're having a conversation with a person (gossiping), have you ever
stopped to think what purpose do your words serve in this conversation? My
mom always said "Mija, if they're talking to you about someone, rest assure
that they're also talking to someone else about you." You might want to
think before you speak, or you may have a lot to think about when you're
done speaking. No matter who you are, your words have creative power. The
words we speak can either build up or destroy. The words that we speak are
like a rope that can either set someone free or tie them up.
Have you ever noticed those children that have been spoken down to by other
people? They've been told they are dumb, slow, stupid, retarded, an idiot,
good for nothing...etc. You see that, that child grows up feeding from those
words, which after time became life for them. My friends, words are like
seeds. They have power in them to create. Isaiah says "We will eat the fruit
of our words." What seeds are you planting? If you've broken with words, you
must re-build with words. Each and every one of us literally carry life or
death in our mouth. Measure your words.

On the flip side,

Maybe you're the one who has been verbally destroyed by words someone spoke
over you. Could be by a friend, family member, ..etc. You don't need to live
life off of those words any longer. God's word is living and His word is
strong enough to undo every negative word that has hindered your life. No
one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Their words only have
as much power over you as you give to them. It's time to start hearing the
living word; the word that restores, rebuilds, heals, counsels, loves,
encourages, strengthens, inspires. The word of God. Speak, declare what you
want to be and see. You also have creative power in your mouth. :)
