There’s power in your mouth! “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. – Proverbs 18:21 NKJV”

We have the ability to cause life or death…with just our words! Few people ever realize this truth; what you say can either bind you and stop the will of God in your life, or free you to experience all that God has for you. For this reason it is extremely important for us to watch our words. We must perform a self examination of the words that we speak!

It is the plan of the enemy to get us to say whatever comes in our mind the minute it comes in our mind. In fact people take great pride in “telling it like it is”. But if what you are saying is filled with death and is critical, judgemental and condemns others, then it does not need to be said. Just because what you are saying may be the truth it doesn’t make it right to say!

“Help me to guard my words whenever I say something. – Psalms 141:3 CEV” We need to take control over our mouth, watch our words and judge them against the Word of God in Philippians 4:8 

For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. – Philippians 4:8 AMP

If we are to think on these things then surely we are to allow only these things out of our mouth! RIGHT?!
