Positive Quote for the Week-Be mindful of Your Words

“Be mindful of your words, we have the choice to speak life or to speak death to every situation.” Erica Willis

We have all hard our weak moments at one time or another when it is extremely difficult to hold your tongue! I mean someone says something to you that is so vial and harsh that you want to unleash every single negative word that you can possibly think of. That is exactly what the devil wants you to do. He knows that as long as he can get you to get completely out of your character, he has you exactly where he wants you.

Can you imagine professing that you are a born again believer of the Lord Jesus Christ but out of your mouth you are speaking words that show otherwise. You can mess around and ruin your witness for the Lord by allowing a moment of fragility cause you to show all the way out! The enemy will be right there waiting so that he can take your moment of weakness and use it to his benefit.

We have to be so careful about the words that come out of our mouths because we can establish negative outcomes or curses depending on the words that we say. When we are proclaiming the Word of God, standing on His promises, and living according to what the Bible instructs, we are promised to be blessed by God, Deuteronomy 28:2. Choose to speak life to every situation all day, every day!

Scriptures about speaking life

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”

Proverbs 13:3 “He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.”

Proverbs 15:4 “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.”

Proverbs 17:28 “Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.”
