Healthy Thinking Day 30 - Killing Machine

I've spoken about this topic many times to my friends and would really like to share is with you today.

Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)

²¹ Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.

 

Some may know the power of the tongue and some my not. As the scripture says life and death are in the power of the tongue. Many believe this is talking about your spiritual walk and that it has nothing to do with the everyday walk you have as a Christian.

 

I read a book called "The Power of the subconscious mind" and in this book the writer tells a story of a letter he had receive from a man. The man had a daughter who was born with a terminal illness. This man loved his daughter so much that he kept saying that he would give his left arm to see her healed. Every where he went, every one he saw he would relay the story about his sick daughter and end up saying that he would give his left arm to see her healed. As things happen this man found himself in a car accident and lost his left arm and his daughter was healed. 

 

Lets quickly deal with the word Subconscious.

Studies have shown that your subconscious mind is 30 Thousand times stronger than your conscious mind.

 

In biblical terms our subconscious is actually our spirit man. and Just as God spoke and thing happened so do we have that ability. Paul says Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word. In one of my earlier posts I mentioned this. The continual repetition of your words produce faith or fear. As we see with the man with the sick daughter his words were meant for good but he ended up having so sacrifice his arm where as if he only knew the power of his words could produce life with our sacrifice. 

 

James 3 talks about our tongues being like a rudder that steers a ship. If our tongue is loose our ship will be unbalanced.

 

My friends today I encourage you to speak life instead of death. When you face a tough situation today let the first words that come out of your mouth be that of life. Speak Gods word rather then speaking negative. Also watch your word because as we saw the man only wanted to see his daughter get better but he lost something in the process.

 

Love you much.
