DOY Episode 6: The power of the tounge

In this video we are discussing the power of the tongue. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 NIV The Power of Life and Death Think of a time you said something you regret, or were the target of undeserved gossip or slander. Now, reflect on a situation where you encouraged a friend who was hurting, or felt the life-giving effects of someone else’s words. Words matter. Your words matter. And, God has given you the freedom to choose how you use them. Are you using your words to tear down or build up? To provoke destruction or stimulate restoration? Do your words stir up drama or encourage peace? “What you say flows from what is in your heart,” Jesus explained in Luke 6:45. Fruit reveals the health of a tree, just as a tongue reveals what is happening in the heart. So this week, how will you use your words to bring healing and hope to people? Let us know in the comments. If this isn’t something you’re used to doing, it’s never too early to speak words that spark life in someone.
