Fatal Words (pt 2)

Jul 22, 2021

14 min

Your words and thoughts are more powerful than you think. Proverbs 13:3 says “Guard your words and you’ll guard your life but if you don’t control your tongue, it will ruin everything.” The words you speak can give life or can take life away. David asked God to put a guard on his lips.

Ephesians 4:29 says “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs that they may benefit those who listen.” This is not an easy task. Tune in to today’s broadcast for some encouragement!

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Folks, that’s just a bunch of scoopala.” - Jimmy Fields went to be with Jesus in 2017 but his legacy lives on through his message “Fatal Words.”

Words are powerful. Proverbs 21:18 “The tongue has the power of life and death.” We can speak life-giving words or life-taking words. How will you choose which words you will speak today? To whom will you offer some hope through your own encouraging words today?

Do you feel like your prayers have been going straight to God’s voicemail? When life is uncertain and you’ve been praying for a long, long time, it might feel difficult to worship God. Where is He? Even David frequently complained of God’s apparent absence in his life, even asking “Why have you abandoned me God?” but we know that God never left David. He’s not left you, either. Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave you or forsake you.”
