Speak Blessings

God has been showing me the great power there is in speaking blessings over others and into your own life. There is also great power in speaking curses over people, even carelessly. I remember a teaching a church many years ago about poison arrows, and how negative words can poison your body. Choose your words wisely and speak blessings into your life and over your children and spouse. Be careful about making careless remarks about your children, your husband, or yourself. Those words have great power.

"Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing." Proverbs 12:18

"Wise words are more valuable than much gold and many rubies." Proverbs 20:15

" Your tongue has the power of life and death. Those who love to talk will eat the fruit of their words." Proverbs 18:21

"Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." Proverbs 16:24

"When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in that home until you leave. When you enter that home, say, 'Peace be with you.' If the people there welcome you, let your peace stay there. But if they don't welcome you, take back the peace you wished for them." Matthew 10:11-13

"We all make many mistakes, but those who control their tongues can also control themselves in every other way." James 3:2
