The Tongue has the Power of Life and Death

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." A singer by the name of Patsy Klein sang the song, "I drop to pieces"....and she died in a plane crash. A few years later, another singer named Jim Reeves, sang the same song and he also died in a plane crash. Mrs Steve Ervin, the wife of the famous Crocodile Hunter star says that Steve kept saying he will die young. So folks, don't let the devil wiretrap you to keep saying things like "mati ar", or "Die, die." Even in American culture, instead of saying "I am dying to eat that piece of cake", why not say "I am living to eat that piece of cake." Is it as if in dying you can eat that piece for cake? Wake up folks. Use life giving words of power and grace and be careful of what you say.

Even God has to speak it out to see good. He said "Light be" and there was light. He also said, "Let there be birds of the air." And it was so and God saw it was good. God spoke it out before it happen and God saw it was good. Likewise, we were created in the image of God and we have the power of life and death, and that is in our tongue. It is like a small rudder of the ship. Use it aright and you have smooth sailing; use it awrong and you have ship wrecked. So use your tongue wisely and avoid death words!
