"The unspoken word is in your control... Once spoken it has control over you" 


POST BY  alp108 KTFA



Words are not simply sounds caused by air passing through our larynx. Words have real power.


God spoke the world into being by the power of His words (Hebrews 11:3), and we are in His image in part because of the power we have with words. Words do more than convey information.


The power of our words can actually destroy one’s spirit, even stir up hatred and violence. They not only incite wounds but inflict them directly.


Of all the creatures on this planet, only man has the ability to communicate through the spoken word. The power to use words is a very unique and powerful gift from God.

Though it is a gift, our words have the power to destroy and the power to build up (Proverbs 12:6).


The writer of Proverb tells us: “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21).


Are we using words to build up people or destroy them? Are they filled with hate or love, bitterness or blessing, complaining or compliments, lust or love, victory or defeat? 

Like tools they can be used to help us reach our goals or to send us spiraling into a deep depression.

Furthermore, our words not only have the power to bring us death or life in this world, but in the next as well. Jesus said: “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.


For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37). Words are so important, that we are going to give an account of what we say when we stand before the Lord Jesus Christ.

The apostle Paul wrote: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Ephesians 4:29).


In this passage, Paul is emphasizing the positive over against the negative. The Greek word translated “unwholesome” means “rotten” or “foul.” It originally referred to rotten fruit and vegetables. Being like Christ means we don't use foul, dirty language. 

For some reason, many people today think it is macho or liberating to use vulgar humor, dirty jokes, and foul language, but this kind of talk has no place in the life of a Christian. Paul continues: “ . . . but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” 

This is reminiscent of his words to the Colossians: “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone” (Colossians 4:6; see also Colossians 3:16).

There is a remarkable parallel between Ephesians 4:25, lying; Ephesians 4:28, stealing; and Ephesians 4:29, unwholesome talk. In each case Paul is urging us to be a blessing for those with whom we have daily contact. 


Paul is emphasizing that merely refraining from telling lies, stealing, or unwholesome speech is not enough. The truth is that Christianity is not a mere “don't” religion.

As followers of Christ we should emulate the example of Jesus whose words were so filled with grace that the multitudes were amazed (Luke 4:22). 

Jesus reminds us that the words we speak are actually the overflow of our hearts (Matthew 12:34-35). When one becomes a Christian there is an expectancy that a change of speech follows because living for Christ makes a difference in one’s choice of words. 

The sinner’s mouth is “full of cursing and bitterness” (Romans 3:14); but when we turn our lives over to Christ, we gladly confess that “Jesus is Lord” (Romans 10:9-10). As condemned sinners, our mouths are silenced before the throne of God (Romans 3:19), but as believers, our mouths are opened to praise and glorify God (Romans 15:6).

Christians are those whose hearts have been changed by the power of God, a change which is reflected in our words. Remember, before we were saved, we lived in spiritual death (Ephesians 2:1-3). Paul describes those who are dead in sin: “Their throats are open graves” (Romans 3:13).


Our words are full of blessing when the heart is full of blessing. So if we fill our hearts with the love of Christ, only truth and purity can come out of our mouths.

Peter tells us: “In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15). 


Let the power of our words be used of God to manifest the power of our faith. Be prepared to give the reason for why we love the Lord—at anytime, to anyone.


Our words should demonstrate the power of God’s grace and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in our lives. May God enable us to use our words as an instrument of His love and saving grace.

Excellent Uneek...Words are definitely powerful.  I try my hardest to speak with a soft tongue, but I'm human and slip.  I pray for the wisdom of words and the unknown wisdom.  Thanks for sharing. 

Still trying to learn this site, sorry for not stopping by sooner.  Glad your here to share your wisdom of words.

Yes, the Words we Think and Speak are very Powerful!!!!

I Declare, I will speak only words of Faith, & Victory over Myself, my Family, & my Future!
I will not use my words to describe the Situation.  I will use my Words to change the Situation. I will Call in Favor, Good Breaks, Healing, & Restoration. I will talk to my problems about how Big my God Is.  This is my Decision!

I say this all the time!!! I remember it when I start to get overwhelm with things....Give it to God, he is bigger than any problem!

Hello PattyAngel -- Hope you are doing well and it's so good to see you here - I remember telling you and a couple others about it probably a yr ago - I think many of us didn't dream of still being here..... but here  we are...

I am still believing - still hoping & praying - still looking forward to that new chapter of my life

For now.... still working on the present chapter - avoiding the  negative - avoiding confrontations & drama working on contributing positive energy where I can and where it is welcomed ..

I have come to realize and  accept who I am and to be okay  with  respecting my sensitivity as a rare & special gift instead of a weakness  but it also requires some protection - so I have limited my exposure to the cyber bullies lol


Working on "me" a lot  hoping that my next 20  years I can learn and accomplish twice as much as I did the last 20.


It's kinda funny... I  can read on some sites and think boy  I have come a long way in my thinking and then jump to another site and  think OMG boy do I have a long way to go - Blessings to you sweet lady
