There is purpose {Speak Life}

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. Proverbs 18:21

We have been given an incredible tool which is our mouth and what comes out of our mouth is powerful. And what we speak holds great responsibility. We are accountable not only for our actions but for our words as well.  The bible says that death and life are in the power of the tongue.  What you say is powerful and every word pronounced has a purpose.  What are you declaring, death or life?
 
Sometimes it’s better to just stay quiet, right?  We’ve all heard the saying: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.  If your criticism is not constructive and if its purpose is not to build but to destroy, is it really worth saying? There has to be purpose in what you speak! What about my problems Landy?  You have no idea what I am going through? Some may say that but I want to tell you that even in the mist of your troubled times, you can still control what comes out of your mouth.  With the help of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome any situation.  If you do what you can do, God will certainly do what you cannot do.  
Do not allow your problems and disappointments to overcome your thoughts which will later translate into words.  Acknowledge them but do not dwell on them, focus your attention on declaring purposeful words over your life. Fuel your mind with the goodness that God has in store for you.  Remember, your trials too shall pass, they have an expiration date. [Hallelujah!]  So, start rejoicing in the joy of the Lord and be in a ‘great expectation’ state of mind, expect that something great is about to happen.  Fill your mouth with God’s promises and declare His blessings over your life and you will see that as your praises go up; blessings will began to come down. 
Take a moment and give yourself a pep-talk and say: (Insert your name) I refuse to continue to live a life of fear, depression, anger and bitterness! I am better than that and I will no longer continue to feed into the lies of the enemy.  I have been given a powerful weapon and I will start to use it correctly and immediately.  I speak life into my life and into my family.  Whatever struggles I am facing that apparently are dead (no solution, impossible) I speak the powerful words of life over it. I receive God’s acceptance, His joy and His blessings.  I will change my vocabulary and I will speak life and in abundance because my words have purpose.

Trust God to give you the strength you need in anything and everything you do and say.
Be Encouraged, Be Blessed
