Creating Your Experience Day by Day By Your Words

When I was younger we were always told to be very careful what we say and more careful what we do. Everyday we are bombarded with words that have power. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Prov. 18:21) Yet, these valueable tools are utilized with recklessness and indifference. There is power in your words. It is key that we learn that we are creators and like our Creator we have the power to speak into existence anything that we can imagine. We are responsible to speak life over our situations, over our loved ones, over our present, and over our future. Have you ever begun your day and declared, "this is going to be a terrible day", only to have your prediction fulfilled. It is important that we are sensitive to our words - they have the weight of life and death in them. As a daily practice and a spiritual exercise may I admonish you to choose each word that your speak carefully. Take the time and pray before answering in anger. Pray before you speak at the business meeting; pray before correcting your children, pray before speaking to your husband/your wife, your significant other. Just pray before you speak. What is often on your mind needs to be shifted through the reasoning of the Holy Spirit and it may be that very moment that you pause that can lead to an amicable situation or a chaotic one. The power is yours - use it wisely - be careful what you say because it will come to pass!
