 Be very careful. Your words have power. However, there's a difference between creative power and cultivating power. Only God's words have creative power. We can't cause things to come into existence by what we speak. Only when we echo what God's voice has declared, do those words then have creative power. The belief that we have creative power outside of what God declares can lead to fear-based superstitious legalism. Now, our words do indeed have power, but what kind of power? The word declares life and death are in the power of the tongue. God's words create, our words cultivate. You have the power to speak truth or deception, encouragement or discouragement, wisdom or foolishness, purity or impurity. Words change the way we think and therefore behave and therefore live. Be careful what you say. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
