THE POWER OF OUR WORDS
Keys to Kingdom living: understanding the power of our words
1. Life and death are in the power of the tongue
- Our words can release death and curse or it can release life and blessing.
- When we take control of our words, we can take back control of our lives.
- Throughout the Bible, especially in the book of Proverbs, we read the warnings of how dangerous careless words can be or how powerful words of wisdom and healing can be.

2. God shows us His creative power by His Words
- 10 Times in Genesis 1 it speaks of "God said", each time something was created from His Words when He spoke.
- "Let there be light, let there be a firmament in the waters, let the waters be gathered together, let dry land appear, let the waters abound" and God verbally blessed them.
- In the beginning, the Word was God and the Word was with God (John 1:1); The entire universe is held up by the command of His Word (Hebrews 1:3).
- God builds with His Word. When God speaks spiritual words of life, there is a natural manifestation that we can see physically.

4. How do we fight with the weapon of the Word in our daily lives?
We need to know scripture (God's words of life) and be filled with the Holy Spirit to:
a) Defeat and silence the enemy's lies with truth:
- Go and find scripture that is the truth to combat the lie and speak it back to the enemy.
- Speak it out loud, write it down, meditate on it, until it becomes revelation in your heart.

b) Build each other up in faith:
- How do we speak to others? Our words carry blessing or cursing.
- Children are especially sensitive to words, words carry weight, it can hurt or heal, it can last.
- How do we speak to our spouses?
- How do we speak about our government, leaders, nation?
