Day Six – Speak Life through our Spoken Words
The perfect demonstration of the power of Jesus’ spoken word is found in the story of Lazarus’ death and resurrection. First read John 11:38-44 before continuing.
Jesus already knew in his heart that a miracle was about to take place but until he spoke the word, did it come to pass.
Luke 6:45 For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So our spoken word is the manifestation of what is happening in our heart. There is power in our spoken words. We can either use words to build up or tear down.
Let us pray that our words would be encouraging, edifying and aligned with the truths of God’s word. Building up one another with our words allows us to be God’s vessel for His good work. Yes, there is power in our spoken word, so let us speak life!
Here are a few scriptures to direct us in building others up with a spoken word. Please read: Isaiah 50:40, Ephesians 4:29, Matthew 12:33-37, Proverbs 18:21 and Proverbs 12:18.
Today, find at least two people and use the power of a spoken word to speak encouragement into their lives. Write down an experience here.
