Sanctify Your Tongue - Words Have Power

Proverbs 12:18 NKJV There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health.   Your words can build up, heal, and promote health and your words can cause great damage to someone’s emotions, health, and life. Words can be very toxic and destructive so make sure that your tongue is completely sanctified.   Proverbs 12 18 says, “There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword.” It compares destructive words to a sword. They had no guns when the book of proverbs was written. Now words are like guns and bombs. They are causing harm spiritually just like guns and other weapons. Words can give people spiritual and emotional wounds which can manifest as physical illnesses.   Proverbs 12:18 also says that the tongue promotes health. So, your words can heal. You can use your words to encourage a discouraged person and yourself when you are discouraged. You can use your words to speak calm and peace to a fearful, anxious person. You can use words to lift up the spirit of a depressed person. As you speak, his soul will rise up from the spiritual grave and be clothed with garments of heaven by the Holy Spirit.   Hell has garment and heaven has garments. Always use your words to heal and promote life.
