DEUTERONOMY 30:19 19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
The decision is yours. You are free to select blessings and life. Or you might decide on death and curses. When you decide what to say, you make that decision.
PROVERBS 18:21 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
JOHN 6:63 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
However, the outside world teaches us to speak death. We have been trained to talk words of doubt, dread, and death by our culture, which is influenced by the devil. Here are some cases.
This is almost driving me mad! I'm dying from this heat! I'm yearning to go there! That thrills me to death! I laughed myself to death! I'm dying of embarrassment! That absolutely terrified me to death! That just makes me sick! I'll be damned if I do!
These are not the phrases you should use if you want life and blessing. Speaking is an expression of a decision. You should only speak (life- and blessing-related) words if you want to choose life and blessing.
For you, Jesus overcame the devil and destroyed his power. Therefore, the devil tries to persuade you to use foul language, giving him a chance to cause havoc in your life. So be mindful of what you say!
SAY THIS WITH FAITH: The words I choose to speak determine the kind of life I will live.
