I Will Send My Word To Heal Them

We are made in Gods image! What an awesome thing to think about. One of the ways that we are made in His image is we have speech. The spoken word is powerful; it can create wonderful things and it can destroy. Jesus is the living Word! He was sent to save us; heal us and to set us free from the bondage of sin.

What are you doing with your words?

In our spiritual journey something wonderful should be happening; we should be changing for the better; not only that we should be changing the world around us for the better. The power to do that is in our words and actions.

Are your words bringing healing?

If they are not, then you need to pay more attention to what you are saying and how you are saying it. I am reminded of what Jesus spoke when they were going to stone the woman caught in adultery; He said; “You without sin cast the first stone” that one sentence changed everything for everyone involved. That is the same power we have in our words

How many times have you spoken quickly and then thought; I should not have said that. Did you learn anything or are you going to keep right on doing it? The peace in our homes; in our churches; our relationships is often lost because we have not learned to weigh carefully the words we speak.

We are called to follow in His footsteps; His words were to heal; our words are to heal; not to fan the fire. You might say; “Yes but what about their words that hurt me so much”. We are not responsible for what someone else is saying; we are responsible for what we say.
