Words have weight and everything you say has either a good or bad outcome
Proverbs 18:21
“The tongue has the power of life and death.”
Speaking life over someone builds them up, gives them hope, and it shows Christ love.
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Proverbs 16:24
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
A harsh word can bring deep pain for years to come. You or someone in your life may have spoken something cruel or a lie over you or you over them.
Words have power, handle them with care.
Colossians 4:6
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Godly words can revive, heal, and change our lives.
Ungodly words have the power to bind, imprison, and destroy.
creative words create
destructive words destroy
hurtful words crush
helpful words build up
toxic words poison
Soothing words heal
faith-filled words bring life
faithless words bring death
-Craig Groeschel
At the base we have a wall with envelopes strung up on it with all of our names on them and we can go and make a note of encouragement and put it into another person envelope to speak life over them.
It’s one of my favorite things to go check my envelope and see a note that’s been left for me. I feel so loved by them speaking words of life over me. I also love to make note for them to brighten their day.
Each time words of life comes to mind speak it over that person. Don’t rob them of the blessing.
Speak life.
